POLITICS FOR
1930 IN TEXAS
LOOM LARGE
(From Times Herald.)
Despite the fact that 1930 will be
what is known in Texas politics as an
“off” year, by which is meant that
at its elections only state and county
officials will be chosen, judging- by
the amount of discussion that has
gone on concerning these elections
during the year just closed, it will be
one of the most interesting the vot-
ers of this state have seen for many
seasons back.
The chief interest lies in the selec-
tion of the governor and already
there are between 25 and 30 candi-
dates, actual and prospective, for
that office.
The reasons for this interest are
several, but the principal one has its
origin in the presidential campaign
of 1928, when, for the first time in
history, the state returned a major-
ity for a Republican presidential can-
didate.
Factional Bitterness.
This campaign split the Democrat-
ic party into two factions, one that
remained loyal to the party ticket,
and voted for A1 Smith, and the oth-
er, a very considerable portion, that
cast its votes for Herbert Hoover. It
was a campaign of much bitterness
and heat, and these failing to cool in
the intervening twe years, still re-
main as a threat to things in the pri-
maries and general elections of 1930.
As the new year begins, the more
tangible evidences of this bitterness
is given by the loyal or Smith fac-
tion of the party. Among them there
is heard considerable talk to the ef-
fect that only those who supported
the party candidate in 1928 should
be allowed to run as candidates in
the Democratic primary next sum-
mer. They want the state Democrat-
ic executive committee to pass a rule
of this sort when it meets next June
to prepare, the primary ballot.
There is, it must be added, a con-
siderable number among- the loyal-
ists who frown on such a program
and if they meet with any success at
all, it will not be carried out.
Threats Are Hurled.
Among the “bolters,” or Hoover-
Democrats, threats of barring them
as candidates are answered with
threats equally as loud of political
destruction for all who carry out
such a program. Some go so far as
to say that such action would' result
in the election of the Hoovercratic
candidates, running- independently,
in the November election. Others do
not go this far in their prognostica-
tions, but all agree that it would re-
sult in serious damage to the Demo-
cratic party of Texas, driving, as it
would, thousands permanently into
the ranks of the Republicans.
There is a third element in the
party today, one which seems to be
gaining strength as the time for
election draws nearer. This group
might be called a “middle-of-the-
road” group, containing, as it does,
members from both the Smith and
Hoover factions, and all of them de-
termined that the split of 1928 shall
not affect the 1930 elections—elec-
tions which they say should be- fought
out 0n state issues only, without ref-
erence to those which concerned the
nation two years ago.
Looking for Candidate.
These men and women are looking
for a gubernatorial candidate who,
while remained loyal to the party in
1928, has a long prohibition record
and is a Protestant. Such a man, they
believe, will have none of the objec-
tionable features of Smith and
enough of his virtues to -win the state
l-ace.
Thus far there are seven announc-
ed candidates for governor in the
field. Later—by February or March
—there will undoubtedly be more,
since every man seems to think that
in the unsettled state of affairs, one
man’s chances are as good as anoth-
er’s.
Active campaigning will start
along about April.
The-primary elections will be held
in July, with the runoff that now ap-
pears inevitable coming a month la-
ter.
The Republicans, because of the
large vote Hoover received in 1928,
must hold a primary election this
year.
Coalition Likely.
It will be the second they have
held, the first being in 1926, two
years after the heavy vote which
their gubernatorial candidate, Butte,
received in 1924. Under the state law
all parties receiving 100,000 votes
and more in an election must hold a
primary the election after that one.
Thus far there has been little talk
of Republican gubernatorial possi-
bilities, leaders in that group appar-
ently waiting until they see how the
Democrats come out. It might be
that if the Democratic candidate is
unsatisfactory to the Hoover element
of that party, there will be a coali-
tion between Hoover Democrats and
Republicans for the general election
of November.
ASSOCIATED PRESS
SELECTS ALL-STAR
HIGH SCHOOL TEAM
Miss Elizabeth Watson, who spent
the holidays with her uncle, Dr.
Hodge Sellers, arid sisters, Misses
Margaret and Sarah Watson here,
leaves tonight for Natchitoches, La.,
to re-enter Louisiana Normal at that
place.
Dallas, Jan. 2.—Three outstanding
backfield stars, an abundance of fine
tackles, guards and centers, and a
scarcity of great ends marked the
1929 state high school race, as re-
flected in the “all-state” selections of
nine sports writers.
A composite team, gleaned by the
Associated TTess, revealed that Boyce
Magness of the Breckenridge Buck-
aroos, co-holder with Port Arthur of
the state championship, Kelly Scott
of Marshall, and Ray Brandon of
Cleburne generally were regarded as
the finest trio of backfield stars in
the race.
Dewitt Knight of Port Arthur was
a unanimous choice at one end, hut
the critics were widely divided in the
choice of his running mate. .
In all, a total of 35 players, rep-
resenting schools from Amarillo! to
Brownsville and from Marshall to
San Angelo, were deemed worthy of
all state honors by the nine observ-
ers whose selections were used in
compiling the composite team.
Contrary to the usual practice, the
scinbes did not confine themselves, to
the teams that won district cham
pionships in looking for starring ma-
terial. Five of the players represent-
ed in the concensus played on teams”
that did not win out in their section.
Four district winners, Brownsville,
Denton, Waco and Central (Fort
Worth), did not place a man on the
team. The composite selection is
somewhat off-side in that it contains
twelve players, one more than it
could use conveniently. This was
brought about through the fact that
Dumesneil, Port Arthur captain, and
Hecker, plunging fullback at Sam
Houston high (Houston), each receiv-
ed three votes for the fourth job be-
hind the line. They will have to al
ternate at the position.
Although any agency that attempts
to name the eleven outstanding play-
ers in a race that contains 68 teams
cannot be entirely accurate, the- team
presented herewith may be consider-
ed at least representative. The nine
sports writers who contributed their
opinions followed the state race
closely, especially in the bi-district,
isemi-final and final stages.
They are: Prexy Anderson, News,
Abilene; Victor Davis, News, Dallas;
Bill Parker, Times Herald, Dallas;
Jinx Tucker, News-Tribune, Waco;
Wes Hodges, American, Brecken-
ridge; Elmo Angell, Record-Chron-
icle, Denton; Harold V. Ratliff,
Times-Review, Cleburne.
The Team—
Dewitt Knight, left end, Port Ar-
thur, 6 votes.
Claude Cox, left tackle, Brecken-
ridge, 8 votes.
Fay Lagow, left guard, Forest
(Dallas), 7 votes.
Fred Nicklaus, center, Amarillo, 4.
votes.
Bill Stamps, right guard, Corsi-
cana, 6 votes-
Eugene Grimes, right tackle, San
Angelo, 5 votes.
G. Cary, right end, Breckenridge,
3 votes.
Boyce Magness, back, Brecken-
ridge, 9 votes.
Ray Brandon, back, Cleburne, 6
votes. .
Kelly Scott, back, Marshall, 5
votes.
Fred Meeker, back, Sam Houston,
3 votes.
Walton Dumesneil, back, Port Ar-
thur, 3 votes.
The honor roll, including other
players who received at least one
vote follows:
Ends: Shear, Waco; Price, Lub-
bock; Richardson, Brackenridge (San
Antonio); Barfield, Port Arthur;
Watson, Gilmer.
Tackles: Bennett, Brownsville;
Nicklaus, Amarillo.
Guards: Sumners, Brownsville;
Pierce, Sherman; Thompson, Breck-
enridge; Roy all, Waco; Golasinski,
John Reagan (Houston).
Centers: Turner, Port Arthur; Mc-
Millan, Waco; Hagler, Cleburne;
Moore, Denton.
Backs: Samano, Brownsville; Gra-
ham, Breckenridge; Grandstaff, Den-
ton; Nash, Ball high (Galveston);
Bufkin, Amarillo; Cabler, Browns-
ville; Frye, Jeff Davis (Houston).
BEAUTIFUL SHOWER
GIVEN REV. AND MRS.
E.M. WHEATLEY
Sponsored by Mmes. Johnnie Big-
gerstaff and Erown Meadows, mem-
bers of the Christian church and
friends of the young couple met
Tuesday evening of this week at
the First Christian church to
shower Rev. and Mrs. E. M. Wheat-
ley who were married at Texarkana
last Monday evening.
Miss Maude Nelson presided over
the bride’s book and each guest was
asked to register upon arrival.
Lovely prepared and rendered pro-
gram was started by Miss Laura
Sherman who toasted the bride, as
follows:
Between the old and the new year
When the light is beginning to
lower,
It seems as I look into the hour-glass
I hear love’s old tale once more.

only one I could find myself capable

he felt so inclined. Hjs reformation

Again Today
T heard o’er my telephone at noon-
day
A message surprising but sweet
Of a bride who is with us this eve-
ning
And whose name I shall soon re-
peat,
Right here I see in the lamplight
The chosen one, sweet and fair;
You can tell she’s the bride by the
way she smiles—•
Yes, it’s Edith, right over there.
We did not know by her silence,
Nor yet by her merry eyes,
That she was plotting and planning
so early
To take us by surprise.
But" she heard the call of her phstoY,
Hie summons filled the air;
When she tried to escape, it surround-
ed her—■
He seemed to be everywhere.
Oh, we could devour her with kisses,
And about her our arms would en-
twine,
When we think of her going to the
Windy West
Where, instead of ours, she’ll be
thine.
Do you think, little New Year’s bride,
Because you have fooled us all,
Such old loving friends as we
Will stand for that at all?
We have you at last in our fortress
And will not let you depart,
But put you down in the dungeon
In the round tower of our hearts.
And altho your love carries you far
away,
Good luck ahd best wishes to you!
But instead of being hidden by the
stretch'of miles
You two will be right in Plainview.
This was followed by a song, “Sing-
ing In the Rain,” by little Misses
Sarah Teer and Ouida January.
Ray Moss gave the following toast
to the groom:
Here’s luck to Brother Wheatley,
Whose clothes will fit more neatly,
Whose voice will sound more sweetly
Than ever known before.
It is no puzzling mystery,
It’s plain in tale or history
From all ever saw;
While you may pi'each the gospel,
She will lay down the law.
Miss Bessie Wester entertained
with an organ solo. Mrs. Sidney
Brice brought readings appropriate
for the occasion. The program was
closed by prayer by Rev. Wheatley
and Mrs. Murray. r '
Following the program Joe Ruth
and Rosemary Lindly presented
many lovely and useful gifts to Rev.
and Mrs. Wheatley.
Delicious refreshments were serv-
ed, and each guest departed aftei
extending good wishes for Rev. and
Mrs. Wheatley in their future home
in Plainview.

Washington, Jan. 2.—The ticker
tape showers with which Wall street
greets celebrities were rivaled Wed-
nesday by the paper and, pasteboard
deluge with which Washington wel-
comed a distinguished visitor—the
New Year.
Calling cards mounting into many
thousands figuratively eddied and
swirled and sifted about doorsteps
like snowflakes. Everybody went
calling.
One leather goods house was com-
pletely sold out of card cases Tues-
day owing to the unprecedented de-
mand. Antique Roman seemed to be
the favored lettering used on the
cards. Most of them were of plain
white, while, a few were of the most
expensive parchment.
The capital paid tribute to 1930,
too, with about $20,000 worth of
flowers. A leading florist esti-
mated this amount as a fair New
Year’s percentage of the entire
holiday trade in flowers, which he
says was between $90,000 and $100,-
000.
Borne single $500 orders for New
Year’s flowersj were placed with
local florists. Lists of five or ten
names were left with ox'ders for
$50 and $100 worth of flowers
apiece.
Gardenias, orchids and roses
were usually included in the boxes
which were dolled up with fancy
tulle and ribbons. The 1930 de-
butantes’ partiality for gardenias
worn on the shoulder has sold
many of these blossoms at $2
apiece.

Chicago, Jan. 2.—Chicago sala-
manted to 1930 unwonted flourish
and unprecedented whoopee.
Plenty of noise, plenty of people,
plenty of traffic remained as a sober
sun cast its first inquiring glance
from the east today. The weather
had much to do with it, for it has
been many years since Chicago has
celebrated such an occasion under as
perfect weather conditions. The night
was mild and there was neither rain
or snow.
Not a single arrest for liquor law
violation was made by the 100 Fed-
eral agents who were scattered thru-
out the cabarets and night life cen-
ters. Police, however, made numer-
ous arrests for drunkenness and dis-
orderly conduct and there were sev-
eral shootings.
George K. Hurlburt, assistant pro-
hibition administrator here, tele-
graphed Prohibition Administrator
E. C. Yellowley at Washington: “Chi-
cago having driest New Year’s in his-
tory. Everything going fine. No trou-
ble.” . ’ "
The morning papers agreed that the
celebration tvas the noisiest and most
enthusiastic since the prohibition law
became operative.
Tin horns, automobile horns and
exhausts and firearms provided the
noise. The exultant shooting was re-
ported from the south side negro sec-
tion and was without casualty.
