The Shiner Gazette has rather
pitty-ably written up the only le-
gal Democratic county convention
held here last week. It is really
not our fight, but our sense of jus-
tice prompts us to step in where a
flagrant wrong is done. The arro-
gance of that editor, or the person
who wrote that article is something
fierce. Just because some of the
Lavaca county officials had the
manhood to stand for what they
thought best they are promised that
dire calamities shall befall them
from the solid cohorts of Shiner
democracy (?) which by the way
we feel is not the general senti-
ment because they would not stand
for the corporation tool, Judge
Harmon, who so far has carried on-
ly his home state (Ohio) as candi-
date for president on the Demo-
cratic ticket and was gloriously sat
ddwn on by Texas democracy in
their county conventions, which
instructed for Woodrow Wilson for
president. All of which goes to show
that these county officials have
flome judgment at least. While they
may have offended some of the
bosses around the county seat am
the Shiner Gazette office, they
have acted like men which is a rare
and a valuable trait of character
not often found with the official
familv.
