Who was it that turned Geo. Fall
en nd down for u “Chronic office
holder?'' The bosses.
Who nominated Gagnon for “the
laird knows what" term, regardless of
party precedent and to the exclu
sion of “Dick" James, tt “young as
pirant" and a capable young man?
The bosses.
Hundeds of democrats, who consid
er their own interests paramount to
that of party, will cast their vote for
the republican nominees. They be
lieve they will serve their party bet
ter by putting it through a course of
purification, thereby doing a double
duty.
If George Fallstead is satisfied
with the lemon handed to him by
the democratic machine bosses, lit'
is not the man lie lias always been
reported to be. lie should remem
ber that he has friends who feel
the humiliation as much as ho does,
and who will refuse to be satisfied
with the arrangements of the bosses.
Judge Gagnon, when he made the
campaign for county judge four years
ago, was continually harping against
the third term. Now he Is Hooking
thnt. which he condemned himself,
four years ago. If ho is honest in
argument, then ho ought to vote
against himself for re-election as lie
is now running for "(lie Lord knows
what" term.
Talk about your old-fashioned, ring
ridden county conventions. If the
recent primary election didn’t show
"bossism" in the democratic lines,
we miss our guess, it was so much
so that even the good democrats have
refused to be a party to it. The
bosses rode Gagnon clear over James,
a "young aspirant," as they also did
Morris over Fallstend.
Tlii' echo of the democratic mach
ine, while diligently doing the bid
ding of the bosses, never lost sight of
a personal interest in the county
board, lie was heard to remark at
a time when the whole democratic
ticket was elected and the hoard of
supervisions showed a republican
gain "this means defeat to me.”
Who will he choose tills year. Hutch
ens democrat or Hinton republican?
Those republicans who voted
against Judge Wilhite four years ago
on account of the third term issue,
which they declared they could nev
er and would never endorse, can
now apply their objections to Judge
Gagnon. He is not only a fifth term
er but didn’t want the office. He
didn’t even file until after James
was allowed to file and was given
to undeerstand that Gagnon would
"stay off." But the bosses and
their machine were afraid of James,
so they forced Gagnon on the ticket.
Why We Are Stronger.
The old Greeks and Romans were
great admirers of health and strength;
their pictures and statuary made the
muscles of the men siaml out like
cords.
As a matter of fact we have ath
letes and strong men—men fed on
fine strength making food such as
Quaker Oats—that would win in any
contest with the old Roman or Greek
champions.
It’s a matter of food. The finest food
for making strength of bone, muscle
and nerve is fine oatmeal. Quaker
Oats is the best because it is pure, no
husks or stems or black specks. Farm
ers’ wives are finding that by feeding
the farm hands plentifully on Quaker
Oats they get the best results in work
and economy. If you are convenient
to the store, buy the regular size pack
ages; If not near the store buy the
large size family package. 2

FROM GALVESTON.
Interesting Bits of Information Con
cerning Industrious Galveston.
In a personal letter from J. 8.
Mullen, a former Richardson county
boy, who is now located in Galves
ton. the following interesting infor
mation of that great city was con
veyed:
"****• Galveston had a little
storm in July but it did no great dam
age outside of the fishing piers, and
hath houses, which were on the out
side of the sea'wall. These buildings
were entirely destroyed, but are be
ing rebuilt on a largeer and grander
scale than ever.
We have now under construction
what is termed the “Cans way,”
which will be about 30U feet wide
and about eighteen feet, above the
sea level, connecting tile island with
tiie main land, which means a bridge
over three miles long. This struct
ure is the third big undertaking since
our storm in 11*00. First the sea wall
which was an expense of $2,000,000;
second, the raising of the city on
a level with tho sea wall to within
a few blocks of the business bouses,
being a gradual slope from the sea
wall down—cost two million.
The Causeway, which was started
less than thirty days ago, shows
signs of activity. This Causway is to
be built in two years, requiring an
army of men working day and night.
Tills structure will be lighted by
electricity by night, which enables
them in losing no time in completing
same. This undertaking will cost
about another two million dollars
and by the time it is completed we
will have the electric car line com
pleted between Galveston and Hous
ton,which is a distance of fifty miles.
By this you may know we are not
going backwards on account of the
storm in 1900—♦ * * *”

no advantages in the village, Come to Falls City, as it is
not only a city of 4,000 people, but it is the county seat of
one of the best counties in the state, where all the county’s
business must be transacted. With fine schools of highest

erty of all kinds is advancing. There is not a farmer who
