Austin, March 8th. 1917.
BannerLcdgcr,
Ballinger, Texas.
Gentlemen:—In your daily is-,
sue on March 6th, I notice therein
a statement, as to my position re-
lative to the investigation of the
Governor’s official actions.
Pursuant to the investigation
process instigated by Davis of Van
Zandt, the article to which I re-1
fer you, does not give my position
plainly ami in order to clarify it,
I make the following brief state-
ments :
On February 19th, O’Banion of
Harrison, introduced in the House
a resolution preferring charges a-,
gainst 1 he Governor, identical
with the resolution which some
few days prior to that time had
been introduced in the Senate, but,
was not acted upon because of the
lack of .jurisdict ion. That body .
took the ground that if the allega-
tions charged therein were veri-
fied, such would predicate the
impeachment process concerning
which it had no authority, ami un-
der such circumstances said body
would sit as a jury in such trial.
This resolution introduced in the
House under no sworn statement
nor oath, nor any personal res-
ponsibility attached to tin1 intro-
ducer. Under such circumstances
I thoroughly considered the mat-
ter and was forced to believe that
such was merely the rnurmurings
of politicians and that the valu-
able time of the Legislature should
not be used in satisfying the ap-
petite of designing politicians. For
this reason 1 voted no on the pro-
position to act upon said resolu-
tion. my opinion being that the
hard earned tax money of the tax
payers of this State should not be
used in examining murmerings
and quarrelling of a set of politi-
cians.
On the 3rd of March Mr. Davis
of Van Zandt introduced a legal,
fair, ami plain charge, sworn to
by himself upon his won! or hon-
a united pride in'his skill and suc-
cess.
Barring accident, he is one of
the coming statesmen of this coun
try, and has already done much to
add distinction to the name of
Texas.
The Chronicle counts it a priv-
ilege to endorse such a man, whose ,
cleanness of character and up-;
rightness of mind, coupled with a I
constantly increasing ability, more
than vindicate his selection as one
of the two senators from this
great commonwealth.
Differ with him though we may
on particular issues, we find it
impossible not to recognize and
praise the type of manhood he
represents—a type which has been
somewhat too ineonsepicuous in re
cent politics, but upon the culti-
vation of which rests the security
of this republic.
Senator Sheppard is not only a
natural leader, a born orator and
a coming statesman, but at the
same time he is the kind of man
whom one is not ashamed to intro-
duce into the home circle or to
trust with poor men’s savings.
We need more like him in public
life, and we are proud to have
hime representing us at the na-i
tional capital, for whatever else!
he may do he will give outsiders a
new and more wholesome impres-
sion of the standards and ideals
that prevail in Texas.
He is a fine example for our
boys to emulate, a fine type for
our girls to learn to admire, a
fine influence in our nation’s so-

MAN’S ABILITY TO
DO THINGS
Senator Morris Sheppard is rap-
idly becoming a national figure.
This is not due to his stand on
prohibition so much as to the mas-
terly manner in which he has
handled that question in congress.

in with a veto, Mr. Sheppard will

Governor had addressed tho Sen-
ate and had asked for the bridle to
be thrown off in regard to the mat
ter, but he came to the House and
did not desire the O’Banion reso-
lution to be considered. After the
introduction of the Davis resolu-
tion he made a short statement be-
fore the House on Saturday, ask-
ing the investigation to proceed at
mice. Then on Monday his friends i
came before the House and raised
a point of order that the resolution I
could not be considered and pass-
ed. Believing as I did that no
time nor money should be wasted
uselessly, still, I let my mind re-
solve itself into th<* maximum that
rottenness in high places, if there!
should be such, should be east out '
regardless of conditions. The
Governor clearly laid the entire
blame upon the University and
some personal enemies. I stated in
my remarks on the floor of the
House, in order to make myself
plain, and following the dictates,
of an honest conscience, that if
there existed in the University
despicable conditions, I would
join hands in clearing the institu-
tion of such aspersions, but if
there was a god in the temple at
the eapitol that needed to be east
out, then I was ready also to join
hands to do that.
I do not wish it to bo consider-
ed that I desire to while wash
either my friends or my enemies,

that we proceed with tho investi-
gation. justifying my conscience
by such reasons for spending the
