Denton notes discuss Bishop Kilgo and Bishop Candler possibly living in Texas and the 17 year locust forecast returning in 1910. Wheat prospects look strong in Denton county despite a late frost, with prosperity cited for North Texas and co insurance effects on fire policies analyzed.
The article urges residents to support sidewalk and curb improvements and notes new plans to introduce manual training and kindergarten along with domestic science in Denton schools. It argues utilitarian education advances progress, preserves Denton’s standing in Texas education, and positions the district for continued prominence.
A telegraph outfit vows to extend its system into Texas with Denton listed among the towns and a rate schedule of one quarter to one cent per word for business ads. The piece warns of past overstatements by promoters about wireless stocks and urges caution before believing such promises.
Insurance men seek a separate rate for each risk while Denton has not announced key rates yet. Dallas firms report a 25 percent advance for property, and policy clauses may require double the law for taxes. The change would affect total values and raise rates for higher-valued risks.
From Texas Exchanges Mr. Cunyus withdraws from the governor race and endorses the Johnson banner claiming the move aids the cause since three prohibition candidates could not beat the antis. He says with enough money he could be elected. Every little helps. Tempie Recora.
The Houston Chronicle argues that money from trusts heavily influences elections. It questions if Cunyus or Johnson can win with enough funds and condemns plutocratic dominance over American rights and the freeman's life.
In Waco the figure from Galveston, once questioned as to who would speak for Davidson, gains prominence as he delivers a forceful address. The Copperas Cove Banner notes the change from a questioned role to a decisive public speaker.
The Examiner-Review notes a preference for Colquitt and states Davidson made many friends in Navasota, while Brother Blackshear is not among the Claquers hired to “claim everything for Colquitt.” Bryan Eagle.
Wylie Rustler reports Poindexter asserts Johnson’s insincerity is obvious to most, but not to those who refuse to see the truth. The remark underscores ongoing political tensions and public perception debates.
The piece cites Dr Rankins who backed Johnson after supporting Bailey and Dr Gambrell who opposed Bailey but backed Poindexter. The Bailey Poindexter contest is described as a peculiar campaign with shifting endorsements and public positions. Neither candidate is named beyond the reference to Johnson and Poindexter in this segment.
Dallas Times Herald argues the Poindexter campaign faces bias from editors and Colquitt supporters while urging voters to decide on July 23. The piece contrasts local self government and home rule with opposition to Poindexter, framing the contest as a test of principle versus personalities.
The piece argues that durable building materials and active industries build prosperity. It highlights highways railroads factories mines and irrigation canals as key property classes that create values in adjoining lands. It states irrigating canals likely yield the largest permanent value by transforming deserts and swamps into fertile land and thriving homes.
The article argues all lines of industry that build nations share merit. It stresses that active production sustains value, contrasting idle farms with factories, railroads, mines, and canals which suffer decay if not kept running. Continuous effort is essential for growth.
