MR. THOMAS
                  ARRIVES
-----
Came From Waco And Is Look-
ing Over the Ground.
-----
Will Open Campaign Soon.
-----

       Hon, Cullen F. Thomas, county attorney of McLennan county and a candidate for congress, against congressman R. L. Henry, arrived in the city at 11:19 Tuesday.
       Upon alighting from the train Mr. Thomas exchanged greetings with a number of friends and acquaintances and proceeded to the hotel.
       He seems but little the worse for the wear of the rather strenuous campaign in Bell, Coryell and McLennan counties from which he has just emerged with congressman Henry.
       He remaried that he had come down to look over the ground and would open his campaign to this county in a few days but had not decided as yet at what point he would deliver his first speech.
       Whle here he remarked that he would soon move his laundry here and live here until June 14th.
