GREAT CROWDS
GATHER ABOUT
ELECTION BOARD
Promptly at 7 o'clock Saturday
night the crowds commenced to gath-
er around the election board which
was arranged on the west wall of the
1* V. Graves & Co. store on North
Tennessee street and in a very short
time the largest crowd ever assembled
to receive election returns in Mc-
Klnney wus aeon about the board.
People pushed and Jammed their way
through the great mass of humanity,
eurgerly c run in;- their necks to get a
glimpse of some figures on some fa-
vorite candidate. Some of the races
being very close the crowd seemed to
grow larger until almost midnight. At
3 o'clock Sunday morning there were
yet perhaps fifty people gazing at thei
mass of flgurt* on the black canvass.
While this was going on there wore a
number of tired election officers In
tho southeast room of the court house
counting the votes In that box and not
a great while before the dawn of day
the faithful workers handed out thei
slip bearing tho vote from that city
box. This was pluced on the election
bulletin board.
The reports from tho various boxes
were received at the ofnee of The
Dally Courier-Gazette and Weekly
Democrat-Gazctte, mostly by tele-
phony and were then rushed to the
election board.
It was a lively crowd that gathered
to get tho news. At times there would
so up yells like those of a Comanche
Indian and occasionally a few hats
could be seen sailing in the air.
Renner w:is the first box in the
county to report, this coming In only
a few minutes after 7 o'clock. By
Monday morning every box in the
county had mude a report of the votes
cast.

LITTLE CHANGE IN
STANDING OF BAILEY
AND NEFF SHOWN
Dallas, Texas, July 28.—From the
more or loss complete return's received
from the Saturday election it ap-
pears as if thone will be little change
in tho standing of Bailey and Neff.
the two leading candidates, who will
participate In the run-off In the or-
der mentioned. That the total vote
will not be In excess of 440,000 Is in-
dicated by tho reports of the Texai
Election Bureau, as nearly 400,000
votes have been accounted for with
Incomplete boxes gradually becoming
complete.
Little more than one-half of the
votes cast during the election two
years ago have been totaled and the
final result Is not expected to be mora
ihnn 66 per cent. A comparison of
the returns in 1918 show 75,632 were
cast In tho lust election while 116.704
voles were registered two years ago.
As the forty-five counties are repre-
sentative of the State as an average
It may be assumed that not more
than 66 per cent of tho 1918 vote
has been cast this year.
The above results show that less
than half tho potential voting
strength of the State Is Indicated In
tho total and that the proportion Is
lower than uninteresting electlorte in
tho past.
The total number of poll taxes and
of election privileges Is 807,684 aa
compared wlfli 703,675 two years ago,
the total for 1920 Including both
mule and f?male. Returned soldlera
may vote upon presentation of their
discharges. Including these the es-
timate of tho voting strength of Texas
In 1920 Is placed by the Texas Elec-
tion Bureau at 1,000,000.
latest totals In the race for Gov-
ernor, Including 241 counties, give
Bailey 135,316, Looney 44,630, Nefr
130,197, Thomason 89,850. The
Election Bureau has accounted for a
totul of 399.983.
THOMASON WILL VOTE FOR
NEFF FOR GOVERNOR
The statement of Mr. Thomason la
as follows:
"I am deeply gruteful to my friends
for their generous support. I have no
excuses or apologies to make for my
defeat. The Democrats have spoken
and their verdict is cheerfully accept-
ed. I am pleased to have received the
generous support that was accorded
rue In ull sections' of Texas. In the
run-off election my friends, of course,
are privileged to support tlie man of
their choice. -
"As for myself I do not wish any-
body to misunderstand my position.
"In view of the fight I made In
Cooke County us well as In behalf of
the National Democratic administra-
tion, 1 can not support Mr. Bailey.
"Regardless of developments In the
reccnt campaign, I place the interest
of my stato and the success of the
Democratic party above everything
else.
"I shall therefore support Mr. Neff
for Governor.
"I will take no active part In the
next primary," said Mr. Thomason. "1
am going back to El Paso, whore I
will resume by connection with my
law firm. I am going to give Mr.
Neff my voto and urge my friends to
give him the samo consideration.
"It Is impossible to thank all my
friends for tholr kindness and appre-
ciation shown me. but I want to con-
voy this message to all: Vote for the
man avhoso principles aro for tho bet-
torment of Texas. Study Mr. Neffs
qtialcltlons nnd do the same concern-
ing Mr. Bailey. You will see a vast
difference. Then voto according fo
your own good Judgment."
IjOONEY TERMS BAILEY ENE-
MY OF DEMOCRAT PARTY
Following is the statement given
out yesterday by Mr. Looney:
"I would no mora think of support-
ing Bailey than any othor enemy
who has tried to destroy tho Demo-
cratic party. Ho has forfeited all
claims on Democrats. His triumph
would be the triumph of forces In
government that I have opposed all
my life. Certainly I will not surren-
der now. In order to stop specula-
tion as to my position I make this de-
finite statement."
ROGERS MADE SPECTACULAR
RACE FOR SENATORS!!!!*

culur race for Stato Senator. His to-
tal voto In tho district was 6,225. His

Quintan and ran second in seven

and lost box No. 4 8 at Commerce by
only 6 votes. Mr. Rogers carried ov-
ory box In Collin county with a ma-
jority of nearly two to one over all

RAIMWUL 1 1.2 INCHES HERE.
The precipitation In McKlnney
Tuesday afternoon and night, ac-
cording to B. P. Skeleton, local gov-
ernment weather observer was one

another hard rain fell Wednosdajr
The rain was good on corn and truck
and garden*. Cotton, farmers say wit
be benefitted by the rain, although It
was doing nicely before the rain. The
rain, some say, will probably cause
the plant to shod aome of Its fruit,
forms and squares, but It will put on
mors fruit as a rssult cf the rain.
CRANE DECLARES
DEMOCRACY OF
BAILEY DOUBTFUL
Dallus, Texan, July 28.—Thprc are
many reasons why Pat Neff, and
not Mr. Bulley, should be nominated
in tho second primary for the office
of Governor. These are sotue of
them:
- 1. The Constitution requires the
Governor to have been u resident of
the State for at least five years. Mr.
Bailey has not resided in Texas for
nine years or more.
2. The law contemplates that any
man nominated by the Democratic
party to be Governor should be a
Democrat. As to whether Mr. Bailey
is a Democrat must depend on def-
initions. I understand a Democrat
to be one who believes in the"~~party
creed, and who pledges himself to
vote the party ticket. If Mr. Bailey's
public utterunces are to bo credited,
and I am assuming they are, he does
not believe in the Democratic plat-
form udopted at Sun Francisco, but
utterly repudiates it, In this: That he
does not believe in the Federal Re-
serve Bank system, the Land and
Loan Bank, woman suffrage; he does
not believe that we Bhould have en-
tered the war with Germany, and he
does nqt believe that we should have
prosecuted it so vigorously, but that
we should only have sent over- about
a million of men. I know that there
are those who Insist that a man may
be a Democrat and repudiate Us plat-
form. It Is as Impossible for a man
to be a Democrat und repudiate the
platform as it is to be a Christian and
lepudiute tho Naxarene. Recurring
again to Mr. Bailey's public utter-
ances, and I quote from no others, he
does not fill the second requirement;
that is, he Is not pledged to support
the nominees of the party. On the
contrary, he has publicly pledged
himself not to support the nominee
of the party if he happens to be in
uccord with Woodrow Wilson and
others named* On his pilgrimage to
Texas last year, when he had it in
his mind to organise a new party, he
announced that he never would vote
for any man who agreed with Wood-
row Wilson, Morris Sheppard and
Cyclone Davis, assuming that the
three believed in the same general
propositions. Pat Neff believes with
Wilson. Mr. Bailey, therefore, stands
pledged to the proposition that he
can not and will not vote for him in
the event that he should be success-
ful. That prevents his being a Demo-
crat, because he neither has the
Democratic faith nor will he indulge
in the Democratic practice of voting
the ticket. He should have no place
In a Democratic primary. In addi-
tion to all this, he Just closed a cam-
paign In which he was most glori-
ously defeated, in which he sought
to repudiuto national Democracy
and announced in a public speech. If
the newspapers are to be credited,
that "If he lost that fight the Demo-
cracy of Texas was dead."
3. If tho Democrats shall nominate
Bailey they will be embarrassed by
the fact that during tho war struggle
he did nothing to help the cause
along. He made no Red Cross speech-
es; he made no appeal to the citizens
to buy Liberty bonds. Pat Neff pur-
sued a different course. He looked
across the ocean into France and
Flanders and saw the new-made
graves into which the mangled forms
of our brave boys were laid, and hje
thought that If they could give their
ilven for the salvation of the world
the man with money could afford to
give up a few paltry dollars for the
same great and holy cause. The
Democrats will not have to apologize,
!' Put Neff Is nominated, for going
nto the war to maintain tli© free-
dom of the seas. Bailey will bo em-
barrassed by his position that we had
no light to ko Into the war; that It
was all wrong. Once In the war, tho
Democrats approve the course of
Woodrow Wilson In putting all of tho
American energy behind it to win it.
Bailey thought wo ought to have
limited ourselves to one million of
men, even after we found It necessary
to go In. The red-blooded Democrats
-yea, tho red-blooded Republicans—
will agree that when Uncle Sam want
into that war he should have gone
with his full power, as he did, to
make success certain.
Would it not be a monstrous thing
to do, after having nominated Cox
and Roosevelt, who believe in the
same things that Wilson believes In,
who are fighting for the same things
for which Wilson is fighting, now to
nominate a candidate for Governor
who believes Just the opposite?
It would bring Joy to the hearts of
tho Republicans when they read that
Texas, the Gibraltar of Democracy,
has repudiated Cox and Roosevelt nnd
has planted Itself upon the platform
of tho Republicans. Tho Republicans
In every doubtful State will take re-
newed courage and victory,, ff not en-
tirely prevented, will be made very
much more difficult. The. Democracy
can not oven consider voting for Bai-
ley unless they nlso vote for Harding.
Tho question of open shop or closed
shop is not Involved. Neither Neff
nor Bailey can help or hinder thnt
proposition by any official aid of
theirs. Hobby dealt with that at
Galveston. All other executives can
do tho same now; their powers are
ample.

tering on ug. 25 and during that peri-
od severe storms are expected on the
continent while the hurricane, mov-
ing slowly westward, will get Into the
Gulf of Mexico. I can not tell you
dany more about (.hat expected hurri-
cane. But very cool weather, some-
times light frosts, occur In' the mid-
dle northwest east of iRockies, while
August hurricanes are moving1
through the Gulf of Mexico.
It Is a remarkable fact that preci-
pitation on this continent is controll-
ed by the direction of the movements
of the atmospheric moisture toward
the storm centers as they move east-
ward and by directions of the exten
sions of the river valleys and high
ridges on either side. Cropweather of
Ontario, Manitoba, Saskatchewan, Al-
berta and our nororthem tier of
States, south of those provinces, are
most affected but precipitation of the
whole' continent Is similarly affected.
Members of government weather
bureau should bo looking into such
Important facts.
These Weather Bulletins are inter-
ested in the products of the farm be-
cause therein lies the greatest de-
mand for good weather forecasts.
Rome time ago I advised farmers and
local dealers to sell their products. I
knew that the board of flnancta*
managers were about to decrease the
currency circulation by calling In the
money loaned to farmers and knew
that such a policy would lower values
and might cause a panic. Reducing!
the currency circulation has caused!
all the financial panics of the rasL
But an Immensely Important change
has occurred Another board of mana-
gers has agreed to Increase the pay of
about 2,000,000 railroad men by tho
amount of $600,000,000 a year. 1 am
not opposing that increase. But the
products of the mine, the farm and
the manufactory must pay that vast
sum. Tho result must be an Increase
on the value of all these products.
There Is no other way. I advise far-
mers, miners and manufacturers of
these facts and that its a result the
values of their products must go
higher.
