is one of 12 of the state’s out-

named to receive 5 Santa Fe

1923 on a regional basis.

The 12 will be among Texas
4-H members representing the
state at National 4-H Club Con-
gress, Chicago, Nov. 27-Dec. 1,
the state 4-H office said.
In addition to the educational
awards, four of the members
were singled out for all-round
excellence and will receive $500
college scholarships. They are
Morris, Durham and Misses
Urban and Harrison. The scbol-

— 12 were first named
county winners, then district
and'finally were placed in a
MUD PUS; The hotly-contested senatorial race be-
tween incumbent John Tower and attorney general
Waggoner Carr again spotlights the needless demago-
guery that has crept into practically all poiltcal battles.
Even though the current fight will probably not drop
to the actual level of mud slinging, we have never yet
been able to understand why most politicians feel it
necessary to spend so much time and effort belittling
their opponents.
The vast improvement of mass communications has
now made it possible for every candidate to reach the
most remotest spots in his campaign efforts. The com-
munications have improved, but the calibre of politics
hasn’t. A glanee at any news article or a few minutes
with radio or TV will show that most candidates spend
at least half of their time enumerating the many things
wrong with their opponent or the other party.
It would appear only logical that a person spending
hundreds of thousands of dollars on a political cam-
paign could find something good to talk about and teU
the voting public.
People get extremely tired hearing things bad and
criticism leveled at someone else. There surely must
be seme nice things going on in the world and* candi-
date, If he leeks hard enough, just might find seme
good attributes of his own.to tell the people about.
A few gbels, hopes, and ambitions properly presented
to the voters, could possibly have far better results
than a continuous stream of accusations, vtodictive-
ness, and btttemeas. To say the least, it would be a
welcome change.
