DEMOCRATES
Every person needs a

blame everything on the
g overnment. — Karol Newlin
At the Farmers Association (Mon. 11) I was happy to see Gerald
Gentry, and of course, Barbara Torres is always there to "keep the
shop".
CAR-STABLE CONVENTION ...
Politics in Texas have always been a little different than
in most other states in the Union. The Democratic State
Convention, meeting in Houston in August, 1892, fit
right into this tradition. It was called the Car-Stable
Convention, because the only building in town large
enough to accommodate the delegates was the streetcar
barn.

To my children, grandchildren, great grandchildren, relatives
and others who are interested in Western history, my next article
to be published in True West will be out soon. In the summer of
1975, the first article I had published was run in the Hudspeth
County Herald. Later I sold the article to True West. It was
about local rancher. Bill Jones.
The Editor of True West at that time was Mrs. Pat Wagner. She
bought a good many of my articles, all hand written. The maga-
zine was sold and Jim Dullenty becaue the editor. I sold him
several articles. The magazine was sold again and John Joerschke
became the editor, and I still sell him articles. In the meantime
I have sold articles to thirteen other publications such as Livestock
Weekly, The Cattleman, Journal of the West, etc. Incidentally,
three of them have ceased publication.
If anyone wants to write their autobiography, family history,
ranch history, or anything else, I will be glad to help them, put
the writing in book form at a reasonable cost, for as many copies
as desired.

Old Bill was from Texas, like the rest of the Cowboys in Montana.
Like the rest of them he had been every where and seen everything.
When the mail came to the ranch one morning the boss’s wife was
going through it and found a Sears-Roebuck Catalog, "goodie" she
said, "now I can see what the Paris fashions are". Old Bill said,
"I have been to Paris". The boss’s wife said, "Huh, how did you
ever get to Paris?" "I went there with a beef herd" said old Bill.,
The boss’s wife said" That’s a good story, how did you get across
the Atlantic Ocean with a beef herd? " "I didn’t cross no Atlantic
Ocean, I went around the divides" said old Bill.

The names of the people I saw at the Fair were written down from
memory after I got home. If I have left out any one, I am sorry.
I do not carry a hidden tape recorder as Roy Rascoe has accused
me of doing.

"I have taught at 10 national Tolc
conventions," said Jean. "I was asked
mainly because of my books. I’ve
taught in Chicago, Ill., Utah,
California and Portland, Oregon and
all over the South."
Jean started out bv taking private
lessons, but soon learned that in order
to branch out she had to develop her
own style.
"You can paint replicas, but if you
want to go into it as a livelihood, you
-> have to develop your own thing.”
During the winter, Jean heads
-—d * south and teaches art classes in the
\ Rio Grande Valley.
~mh "Most of the people who take my
A E. classes are from the North," she said.
4 are a lot of Canadians.”
