       Saturday was Henry day in the congressional bout between him and Cullen Thomas.  Mr. Henry carried the counties of Hamilton and McLennan by large majorities in McLennan amounting to fifteen hundred or more.
       Henry carried Waco by about 200 but his greatest majority came from the country precincts.
       It is now up to Falls county and in the vernacular of the street the "fur will fly."     
       Henry headquarters will be opened and active operations will begin at once.
       Mr. Henry opened his campaign in Falls county Monday at Kasmar's Park near Rosebud, where there was a picnic by the German citizens.
