Galveston, Texas.—The State dem-
ocratic convention came to a close
Wednesday after an interesting ses-
sion, featured by the complete anni-
hilation of the opponents of O. B.
Colquitt and his policies and debate
over the platform and by the Indorse-
ment of Senator Joseph W. Bailey for
the nomination for the presidency in
1912.
Senator Bailey made an address In
defense of the platform against a mi-
nority report submitted by Cone
Johnson and his followers.

a helpful hint.
"I think," she said, "you can find it

Curiosity had by that time become
a sauce to literature, so the shopper
hurried downstairs to inspect the doll
houses. Three of the most expensive
houses contained libraries consisting
of a score of diminutive books and
each book contained a child's story
complete. One of them was "The

An old woman of a wealthy New
Jersey family was going visiting. The
coachman, who had not been in this
country long, had jtist been equipped
with a new uniform and a new silk
hat. Before they had gone far it be-
gan to sprinkle, and the old woman
told the coachman to fasten down the
side curtains of the wagonette.
He drove up to a hitching post be-
side the road and, dismounting, hung
his new hat on the post, and began to
fasten the curtains.
The old woman noticed his bare head
and asked him where his hat was.
"Oi took it off me head, mum, so as
it wouldn't get wet," the coachman re-
plied.

JOSEPH W. BAILEY.
It was a glorious day for the Col-
quitt forces from the minute that
Chairman Phillips rapped for order at
11 o'clock in the morning until final
; adjournment at night. Every step
in the proceedings was a triumph for
him. Caught in the maelstrom of an
overwhelming majority, the opj»osi
tion fought bitterly; but the more
joyful were the Colquitt forces as they
swept along, nominating him for gov-
ernor and carrying all before them.
It was also a day of triumphs for
Senator Bailey, having for a climax
the enthusiastic indorsement of the
convention for the nomination to the
presidency of 1912.
The Colquitt platform, carrying all
his policies and including a resolu-
tion calling upon the legislature to act
upon the fire insurance law and go
home, was adopted by viva voce vote
that ehook the building after the op-
position had twice been overwhelmed
in a division vote on the minority re-
port read by Cone Johnson and sign-
ed by himself "and three other minor-
ity members of the platform and reso-
lutions committee.
Although this minority report in
eluded several proposed amendments
to the majority report incorporating
Johnson's ideas and the Randell plank
relating to public servants and public
service corporations, the Johnson con-
tingent centered its fight upon section
9, seeking to have an amendment add-
ed indorsing to a certain extent the
administation of Governor Campbell
and the present course of the admin
istration.

Democratic State Platform.
Following is the text of the major
ity report of the platform committee,
which was adopted by the conven
tion:
Representative Government.
We believe that a representative
democracy is the most perfect form
of government ever devised by the
wisdom of man and we are unalterab-
ly opposed to every attempt to destroy
or impair the excellent system estab-
lished by our wise and patriotic fath
ers. We hold it to be the first and
highest duty of every representative
to faithfully execute the will of his
constituency fairly ascertained.
Strict Construction of Constitution
2. We hold the constitution to be a
solemn compact between the govern-
ment and the people adopted for the
prtitection of individuals and minor-
ities. and we insist upon a strict con-
duction of Its letter as well as a faith-
ful observance of its spirit.
For Local Self-Government.
3. We believe in maintaining the
federal government in its full consti-
tutional vigor; In preserving the
rights of the states of the union; in
the time-honored doctrine of local self-
government and in simple, economical
and honest administration of the gov-
ernment in all its departments.
Tariff for Revenue.
4. We reaffirm the tariff declara-
tions of the democratic state and na-
tional platforms of 1896 and we ex-
pressly condemn the proposition to re-
mora all dutiec from the manufactur-
er's raw material so long as such du-
ties remain on the manufacturer's fin-
ished product.
Against Extraordinary Legislative
Sessions.
5. Whereas, Section 8 of article 4
of the constitution of the state of
Texas limits the power of the excu-
tive to conveno the legislature in spe-
cial session to "extraordinary occa-
sions," we declare the calling of the
extra sessions of that body on other
than "extraordinary occasions" unjust
to the tax payers of the state and un-
authorized either by the latter or the
spirit of that instrument.
Declare for Submission.
6. In obedience to the instructions
given in the democratic primary of
July 23, 1910, we call upon the thirty-
second legislature of Texas to submit
to the people for their rejection or ap-
proval a constitutional amendment
prohibiting the manufacture and sale
of Intoxicating liquors in this etate
but we declare that a vote upon such
amendment should not be a test
democracy.
Liberal Educational Policy.
7. Believing that an educated citi-
zenship is the best assurance of good
government and good conduct, and
recalling the wtee and generous pro-
vision made by the fathers of the re-
| public of Texas for the establishment
of a complete system of public educa-
tion from the primary school to the
university, we remind the legislature
that our school system has not kept
pace with the educational progress
of the times, but has suffered In
organization and maintenance.
We demand, therefore, the per-
fection of the common school sys
tem of this state and the adequate
provision for the upbuilding of the
university, the agricultural and me-
chanical college, the normal schools
and the other educational Institutions
controlled by the state. Provision
should be made for efficient county or-
ganizations and r'iral high schools, en
couragement of manual training for
district or county agricultural training
schools and the separation of the ag-
ricultural and mechanical college
from the State University. Provision
for a liberal and independent income
for the state institutions of higher
learning should be made.
Reform in Prison Management
8. We favor divorcing the manage-
ment of the penitentiaries and our
eleemosynary institutions from politi-
cal control to the end that they will
not suffer the disturbance of changes
in administrations, and we recom
mend independent boards of control
with tenure of office so arranged as
to prevent a complete change of man-
agement at any time. We Insist upon
a faithful application of the wise and
merciful policy of moral reform and
mental and manual training in all
penal institutions.
Political Peace—Adjourn and Go
Home.
9. We believe that the general wel-
fare demands that the people shall
not be annoyed by constant political
agitation, and they should be relieved
therefrom in order that they may un-
disturbed pursue their usual avoca-
tions to the end that they may be con-
tented and prosperous, and we prom
ise an intelligent and strict enforce
ment of the law as it is by lawful
ditional laws, only as absolutely neces-
sary to protect the public and the
rights and liberties of the people, and
we recommend that the thirty-first
legislature, now in special session,
dispose of the fire rating board law,
adjourn and go home.
Square Deal Policy.
10. Realizing that the development
and prosperity of Texas require that
there shall be harmony between the
producers, the merchants, farmers,
manufacturers, laborers and capital-
ists, and that no such harmony can ex-
ist except under just and equal laws,
we pledge ourselves to the enactment
and enforcement of such laws.
For Confederate Women's Home.
11. We favor the adoption of a
constitutional amendment making pro-
vision afor the establishment of a
home for the widows of confederate
soldiers.
Indorse Democratic Administrations.
12. We congratulate ourselves that
the democratic party has controlled
the government of the state for near-
ly forty years, and that during that
time no scandal has ever marked its
administration, and we expressly com-
mend the present state administration
for writing into the statutes of the
state the platform pledges of the
party.
Appeal to People.
13. With renewed hope in the prin-
ciples of democracy and a firm and
abiding faith in the capacity of the
people for self-government we, again
appeal with confidence to the Intelli-
gence and patriotism of the voters of
Texas.
Resolutions.
We heartily indorse the work now
being done by our State Industrial
Congress and commend it to the gen
erous support and aid of the people
of our entire state."
'Resolved, by the assembled repre-
sentatives of the democratic party of
Texas, That we profoundly regret me
illness of our distinguished senior
United States senator, Hon. Charles
A. Culberson, and hope for him
speedy recovery to his wonted healiu
and vigor and we unqualifiedly indorse
the faithful and able service of Sen
ators Culberson and Bailey in the
American congress.
"Resolved, That we disapprove of
laws requiring a citizen of Texas to
leave the county of his residence and
attend court at Austin to defend suits
involving the title to school lands and
recommend to the thirty-second legis
lature that all such suits in be#tlf
of the state shall be tried In the coun
ty where the lands is situated, as re
quired in other land suits.
"Resolved, That we indorse and
commend to the favorable considera-
tion of the people of Texas the great
industrial and educational movement
inaugurated and successfully led in
this state by Judge V. W. Grubbs of
Hunt County, who has unselfishly de-
voted many years of his life and
comfortable fortune to the cause of
better education In Texas.
"Resolved, That the-law providing
for a ciriininal district court for Har
ris and Galveston counties be so
changed that such court shall remain
established in Harris County only, in
lieu thereof the district courts, or one
of them, and the county court in Gal
veston County shall exercise such
criminal jurisdiction as is conferred
upon such court by the constitution
and laws, and the said criminal dls
tret court shall be abolished as to Gal
veston County."
Text of Minority Report.
Following is the text of the minor-
ity report, which was rejected by the
convention:
The undersigned, a minority of your
committee on platform and resolu
tions, beg leave to report as follows:
We recommend that the platform
and resolutions submitted by the ma
jority of the committee be amended
in the following particulars:
1. Amend section 4 of the platform
by substituting therefor the follow-
ing:
"That we hereby affirm our allegi-
ance to the jjenver national demo-
cratic platform of 1908 on the tariff
question as sound and democratic and
to the best interest of the people."
2. Amend the platfrom submitted
by the majority by striking out sec
tion 9 of the same.
3. Amend the platfrom submitted
by the majority by adding another
section to read as follows:
We favor a law to prohibit pub
lie officials from accepting fees or
emoluments from the public service
corporations while they hold a com-
mission from the people, to the end
that they may be free from any sus-
picion of wrongdoing."
4. Resolved, That we indorse the
course of Hon. Charles A. Culberson
and those representatives in congress
from Texas for voting In favor of free
lumber and free iron ore, and com
mend them for obeying the provisions
of the Denver democratic platform.
(Substitute for resolution of major-
ity indorsing Culberson and Bailey.)
5. Amend the majority report by
adding thereto the following:
"The absolute obedience to instruc-
tion of the people by those holding
their office in indispensable to the in-
tegrity of representative government.
We regard it as a wholesome text for
civil instruction and as a touchstone
by which to test the service of those
we trust, and we declare that fliose
who accept the people's office jftid
refuse to obey their instructions are
embezzlers of power."

Two Englishmen were resting at the
"Red Horse Inn" at Stratford-on-Avon.
One of them discovered a print pic-
turing a low tumbling building under-
neath which was printed: "The Housa
in Which Shakespeare Was Born."
Turning to his friend in mild surprise
he pointed to the print. His friend ex-
hibited equal surprise, and called a
waiter who assured them of the ao-
curacy of the Inscription.
"'Pon my word," said the observ-
Ing Englishman, shaking his head du-
biously, "I thought he was born in a
manger!"—Success Magazine.
