THE GOVERNOR'S RACE
This column is due its readers, if any, an apology for this
belated discussion of the race for governor in Texas. And maybe
we .should ask the Lord's forgiveness for our lack of faith. Judg-
ing by some of the races in former years, the writer had faltered
in his confidence as regards the thinking of Texas voters. In

both concerned. It would seem that the average person would

mighty fine people have considered the trait to be either un-
necessary or even criminal. The junior senator has sometimes

At first Senator Daniel was commended for his action toward
restoring oil-rich tidelands to his state; and then there were so-
called Democrats who thought Lord Butler should be obeyed,
regardless of what he should tell Southern Democrats to do. So,
these mistaken "loyalists" decided they had better crucify such
patriots as dared place their state and nation above the dictation
of the Northern domination of the party. The loyalists thought
they should stay with a faction which itself had deserted the
time honored principles of the old Democratic Party.
But politics, which is 60 per cent prejudice, had apparently
decreed that all the "rebels" in Texas should be properly pun-
ished. and perhaps read out of the party. Maybe the true patriots
are not going to be read out of the party. Some of us have been
there a long time, to be forced out now, and just because we
couldn't hold our nose and swallow the stuff Butler & Company
said was good Democratic doctrine. With this more hopeful view
in mind, our column has felt encouraged to speak a word in be-
half of one of the men now in the governor's race. In doing so,
no effort will be made to place that man on a pedestal. He is a
human being, entitled to faults; and he has them. But when a
comparison is made between the two men who are now offering
us their services, it seems to us the comparison would weigh
heavily in Daniel's favor. For one thing, he has experience in

in form or interpretation in the face of a decided majority opinion

On the two questions of mixed school and mixed marriage,
no few people believe that the views of the NAACP are not

of Texas can be made evident in the vote of the heavy Negro

Your
Most Prized
Possession...
Your
HOME!
L
No material possession means so much to the average person as his home. It
was built, or bought, with years of work and saving, budgeting and toil. To
own a home is to own a stake in one's city and country, to be a part of a
community as a property owner.
Now, it is only sensible that a home-owner is going to do everything in his
power to keep the value of his investment at the highest possible level. He is
not going to let it deteriorate for lack of care. But he can let it decrease in
value by letting the city's property in general decrease in value.
One of the best ways to keep the value of property at a high level is to keep
it in demand. There is olways a demand for dwellings in a progressive town,
and a progressive town is one that keeps its streets in good order, a good fire
department, good recreational facilities, good policing, good schools and
churches.
Your home owned power and light company is a heavy contributor to nil the
facilities necessary to a progressive to*n. You can help your own welfare ind
help keep the voluc of your property high by using City of Seymour Power
and Light Co. ekctricity. *
