REPUBLICAN PROPOSITIONS

In addition to the number of candidates that Republican voters will have to choose from in this coming Texas primary election, they will get to vote yes or on ten propositions.

The unique enclosure helped keep in enormous cattle herds, keep out rustlers, and also gave rise to the creative use of a new technology: the telephone.
