The stork is a popular bird
among Texans. We have the larg-
est families of any State in the Un-
ion, and there is a child born every
four minutes in Texas. There are
122,000 births and 43,734 deaths
per annum.
The stork is a splendid bird, but
100 slow for development work. It
would take it two generations to
louble our population. It must be
laid, however, to the credit of our
Legislatures, that so far they have
lever attempted to regulate or re-
drain the flight of the stork.
Our immigration agents travel
nore rapidly than the stork. There
ire 69,000 people moving to Texas
mnually who remain here perma-
ently, and these people bring with
hem $123,000,000.
The immigration agent, as a de-
reloper, has many advantages over
he stork. The natural born citizen
rings no property into the State;
n fact, we have just seen that 30
er cent of our native citizens leave
he State and take propertv away
yith them. It is 12 or 15 years be-
ore a child becomes a revenue pro-
lucer, and during this time he is
in expense: but when the immigra-
ion agent moves people into the
tate, they bring property with them
md they immediately become reve-
ille producers. We must look to the
inmigration agent to rapidly in-
•reuse our population and wealth.

The Dallas News of Lhe 2ith in-
stant contains an excellent article
from a student of the state univer-
sity on the defects of what it calls
the "Terrell election law.” The
name is a misnomer; for the most
glaring defects in that law were
placed ! there after I retired to
private life, and other defects were
adopted by amendment over my ear
nest protest. I indorse the objec-
tions made to the law by the c or-
respondent.
First — The “plurality” rule for
nominating in state conventions is
a recent amendment to the law. I
regard that rule as a dangerous
experiment—undemocratic and de-
structive in a republi can govern-
ment, where a majority should
alone rule. j
Second — Another recent amend-
ment requires the voter to use a
ballot ’at a genera] election
which must contain a printed
pledge to vote for the party nomi-
nee, no matter how corrupt he may
be, he must be voted for. '
Now these two amendments to
the law are the crowning , tri-
umphs of machne politics, and of
political despotism. We have only
to glance at their recent effects -
3.j
> ’ 2' -0,
knw tliat a governor who was not
nominated by a majority even of
his own party and elected by a
ballot that pledged the voters to
vote for him. Nearly 5000 demo-
crats violated the pledge, for Col-
quitt ran nearly that far behind
Lane, Lightfoot and the other state
officers. The same powerful in-
terest that nominated Colquitt is
now claiming a second term for
him, which has heretofore been giv
en only as a reward for ‘good ser-
vice, and under a rule that nomi-
nated all former governors 'by a
majority vote in convention.
I only mention this to illustrate
how those amendments may defy
the wishes of a majority of the
democratic party, ’and place Our
state in the clutches of a minori-
ty of the pleople. If three or
four candidates for governor were
now running the same liquor in-
terests that nominated Colquitt
could nominate him again under
the plurality rule. The most stu-
pid men can understand how that
rule, and the printed pledge, can
open the way for corrupt combina-
tion to control this state in defiance
of a patriotic majority
Third I want to limit the ex-
penses of a candidate to’the am-
ount of his salary for the first year
search his conscience as to his
expenses, and if he has spent more
than the limit, then forfiet his of-
fice and reward him with stripes
in the penitentiary. I tried in vai
to provide for that long ago in com
mittee before the hill was report-
ed.
Fourth—The failure of the law
to permit the presidential primary
is made an objection. The consti-
tution and laws grant to the people
no rights—they are both the crea-
tures of popular will—the instru-
ment of the people's convenience. I
the law should permit the people
to hold a primary election it would
not be granting them a new right,
for the 22nd article of the hill of
rights, which is above the constitu-
tion. solemnly secures to the peo-
ple Ilie right 'to express themsel-
