STEVENSON AND KEFAUVER
The Democrats nominated Adlai Ste-
venson and Senator Estes Kefauver to
carry their banner against the Republi-
cans this year. They have their work cut
out for them—President Ike Eisenhower
and Richard Nixon, as it seems when this
editorial is written.
Stevenson lost overwhelmingly to Eisen-
hower in 1952; recent polls show that
Eisenhower will defeat him just as big
in 1956.
But Stevenson should win a lot more
states this time. Four years ago he was
running on the F. D. Roosevelt and Harry
S. Truman record. Today he has the Re-
publican record of 3 1-2 years to tear to
pieces.
It seems that the Republican party has
not made a record that is without a flaw;
in the past, there has been a tendency to
regard Eisenhower almost as an indepen-
dent and exalt him above the Republican
party.
The Democrats are right in holding
Eisenhower accountable for misdeeds and
failure of Republicans. Eisenhower today
is a full-fledged politician, not a war time
general, and he must take the raps for his
administration.
No losing Democrat has ever been elect-
ed president after losing once except
Grover Cleveland, who already had held
that office and after four years returned
to the White House. That trend of the
voters must be reversed for Stevenson to
have a winning campaign.
Kefauver should add strength to the
ticket in the industrial states. Stevenson
should be a good candidate in the farm
states, although he did not fare so well
in 1952.
TEXAS MISSES BOAT
Texas has the custom of missing the
boat at the Democratic national conven-
tion. Not since 1936, when F. D. Roose-
velt and John N. Garner were renominated,
has Texas been on the Democratci boat.
It was hoped that Texas this year would
be a little more wiling to go along with
other Democrats under Senator Lyndon
Johnson and Speaker Sam Rawbum. Ray-
burn was permanent chairman and John-
son was a favorite son candidate for presi-
dent.
Johnson, reports state, was thinking
about 1960 and did not turn the delegation
loose quick enough to get on the Adlai
Stevenson bandwagon, which won on the
first ballot.
Again, it missed the boat for Senator
Estes Kefauver for vice-president. It in-
tended to vote for Gov. Frank C. Clements
of Tennessee on the first ballot. The dele-
gation learned that Clements had with-
drawn just in time to cast its votes for
Senator Albert Gore of Tennessee.
And again it barely switched in the
second ballot to Senator John Kennedy,
and didn’t have time to back Kefauver.
UNAPPRECIATIVE ILLINOIS
Democrats must point with shame to the
way that the Illinois delegates treated
Senator Estes Kefauver, who was nomin-
ated for vice-president in the Democratic
national convention at Chicago last week.
Adlai Stevenson owes his nomination
on the first ballot to Senator Kefauver,
who withdrew from the presidential race
about two weeks before the convention.
Stevenson said he wanted a wide-open
race for vice-president. He did not give a
nod to . Kefauver. That may have been all
right, but he should have urged the Illinois
delegation to support Kefauver.
Apparently, the Illinois delegation under
Jake Arvey double-crossed Kefauver. who
fully deserved the vote of that state.
Kefauver won out any way in a very
warm race with Senator John Kennedy
of Massachussetts.
THE PANHANDLE PRESS
SPLIT SECOND TIMING—It was split
second timing for this writer in the ballot-
ing for the Democratic candidates for
vice-president last Friday afternoon. The
Warren family was moving; the first bal-
lot was watched in the old house; the
second ballot in the new house. The mov-
ing van was ready to go after the first
ballot; there was no planning to have it
that way.
PAUL ALSO MOVIES—Editor Paul
Loftin also decided to move into another
home in Panhandle the same afternoon.
The van left the Warren house to move
the Loftins and Paul says that two moves
in two months is too much for any one.
STREETS LOOKING BETTER—The
county and city have been improving the
streets lately. The bad places have been
patchedand asphalt and gravel have been
put down. The warm days should enable
the gravel to get set before cold weather.
REMEMBER TO VOTE—Your citizen-
ship isn’t worth much if you don’t use it to
vote. Saturday, Aug. 25, is the second
Democratic primary. Carson county* had
only 1,500 votse in the first primary. The
voting should exceed that in the run-off.
Hot Tennessee — Tennessee politics
pulls no punches. To Texans it would seem
that Tennessee unanimously should have
been for Senator Estes Kefauver for vice-
president, yet that delegation toyed a-
round with Gov. Frank C. Clements and
Senator Albert Gore of their state, actually
voting for the latter named candidate.
OLD MAN TRUMAN—Ex-President
Harry Truman failed as a president maker,
his candidate, Gov. Averill Harriman of
New York, losing on the first ballot to
Adlai Stevenson. Truman made a good
talk on the final night of the convention.
His calling the Republican party a“bunch
of racketeers” has riled G. O. P. Chairman
Leonard Hall.
LIKE DEMOCRATIC CONVENTION
BEST—Because of life long support of
the Democratic party, this writer enjoyed
the Democratic convention last week much
more than he did the Republican this week.
It’s hard to beat Chairman Sam Rayburn,
Gov. Frank C. Clements and other out-
standing speakers at the big Democratic
show, for the Democrats are my friends
and I hope you will regard them as your
friends.

News Notes

County HD Agent
Plans have been completed for
the county wide 4-H Achieve-
ment Day. Exhibits will be set
up September 1, in War Mem-
orial building. Exhibits could be
in place and ready for judging
by 9:30 a. m. All 4-H members
are asked to discuss these plans
with their leaders.
The yearbook committee of
Home Demonstration Council met
in my office Monday, August 13,
Plans for the Home Demonstra-
tion Club work for 1957 were
discussed. If your club has not
sent in suggestions, please do so
soon.
Clubs are reminded to send in
a list of their officers for 1957.
Attending the meeting Monday
were Mrs. Glynn D. Harrell, Mrs.
Robert Kushler, Groom and Mrs.
J. H. Gunter, Conway.
ff you are worrying about
drouth damage to your trees take
time out for an extensive watering
job. To water a tree properly,
without damaging the tree, soak
the ground to a depth of 3 or 4
feet.
One good way, is to build a
terrace around your trees and let
a day or more so the water will
penetrate the root zone of the
tree. Even during a bad drouth -
trees will need watering only
about every 10 days if this method
is followed.
Glynda Harrell of the Groom
Corner Clover 4-H Club was
chosen as one of the three alter-
nates in the 4-H district dress
revue held at Pioneer National
Gas Building in Amarillo on Aug-
ust 17. Glynda wore a light blue
wool crepe dressy costume and
accessorized it with navy blue.
The state dress revue will be in
Dallas, October 6.

tween Yarborough and Daniel to
acquaint the people of Texas with

No practice has more' consistent
record for weakening the hog
market than does the marketing of
overweight hogs. Such a practice
says E. M. Regenbrecht, extension
swine husbandman, not only re-
sults in lower market prices but
feeding hogs to weights over 200
pounds is not efficient feeding.
