i At the same time Gov. Hard-
wick announced his candidacy
in the city auditorium, Mart, at
10:30 a. m., to whch the public
was invited. Because of sick-1
ness and the fact that the first
of the month is a busy time, the
attendance was not as large as
was hoped. Visitors from Mar-
lin, Waco and other lodges were
present for the meeting.
District Deputy Grand Chan-
cellor Geo. F. Paul of Mart was
the splendid master of ceremon-
ies for the occasion.
