       Temple,Texas,Sept.23.--There is considerable talk of a lively contest for the democratic congressional nomination in the 11th district next year.  The district consists of McLennan, Falls, Bell, Coryell and Hamilton counties, a mixture of part of the old 7th and 8th districts, and has been represented by Hon. R. L. Henry of Waco, who will be a candidate to succeed himself.  His possible opponents are said to be Hon. W. W. Blair of Temple and Judge Sam R. Scott of Marlin.  Neither of these gentlemen have as yet announced their real intentions in the matter, but developments are expected within the next ten days.  Congressman Henry is generally conceded to have made a good record and will not give up without a record breaking fight.
