There was no one present wiin

service, and In view of the fact that
trains had been from balf an hour
to an hour late the past two weeks,
and that tha desirability of another
train is so apparent, and tha sen
timent for It o general with the
Dublic at large, a committee was
appointed to draft a petition and

a ouch etroneer poll could - be ex

given of Independence being passed

A number of League members
expremied themselves in favor of

system for the city was generally
favored. W. W. 1'ercival, ex-presi-dent

While there is being a great deal
of ammunition coasumed in one of
our countT papers as to who should
represent Polk county as State
Senator, one would be led to believe
that old Polk was a very small part
and that Dallas held the keys to au
the batteries and could shell out
the only candidates suitable to the
republican voters of Polk county.
While the Observer claims that
Dallas H entitled to furnish the
candidate for this place, we do Dot
care to argue. But we do claim
that every republican voter of this
county should take deep interest in
tbi matter, in a way that no mis
take be made in placing the right
man at the head of the ticket and
one that would de honor to the
party and the county after the elec
tion next June.
It is useless to make believe that
senatorial timber is scarce and that
Dallas is the only place that can
oroduce the right kind. Polk
county is not small by any msans
and contains plenty of good mat
erial to fill every office of the best
Dallas. March 12 The demo
cratic county central committee for
Polk county met here today, and
set a time for the democratic pri
maries and convention and made
the apportionment of delegates.
Wednesday, April 13 was set for
the primaries and Saturday, April
16, for the convention.
The apportionment waa fixed at
one delegate for every ten votea or
fraction thereof over five cast for
