era is will begin assembling at
Beaumont tomorrow for a state
aponvention to deliver the party ma- i
Fchinery to W Lee O’Daniel, Fort
Worth flour broker who will be
Texas' next governor and approve
his policies.
Chief interest was in the plat-
form which O'Daniel will push
♦through. Its declaration. If any, on
such controversal subjects as horse
racing, sale of liquor by the drink,
the sales tax. full payment of old
age pensions and a new oil and gas
commission were eagerly awaited.
e Considerable speculation had
arisen over whether the dele-
gates would endorse Vice Presi-
dent John N. Garner for the
presidential nomination in 1940.
Several county conventions took
that action. Garner was expect-
♦ ed to observe his custom of
staying away from party pow-
wows.
The convention proper is not un-
til Tuesday. However. O'Daniel
and many other democratic leaders
delerates but his friends indi-
eatei that would not cause a
fight.

Farm Bureau federation, said today i
the present agricultural adjust- j
ment act had achieved satisfactory 1
results in its first test this year,
and that it must be continued to
prevent utter chaos in the com-
modity markets.
He contended that low prices pre-
vailing in some commodities were
largely the result not of the act but
of ' surpluses produced in 1937, and
in the case of wheat, from the 1938
crop which was produced without
production control.”
O’Neal said innumerable editorials
in the metropolitan press have
charged the farm program with
failure because of the low prices.
The farm bureau president de-
clared the farmer is better off this
year, by a great margin, than he was
, in 1932, “when markets seemed liter-
ally bottomless."
"I believe we have in the present
farm program,” he declared, “a
mechanism that has functioned
fairly well in its first season, that
gives promise of outstanding suc-
cess, that is fundamentally sounder
than any program we have ever had.
and that it must be continued in
order to prevent utter chaos in the
commodity markets."
Referring specifically to cotton,
' O'Neal said growers this year will
produce less than 13 million bales,
as compared with more than 18
million bales last year without a
control program.
"The price of cotton is low, but it
Is low because of the great surplus I
produced last year,” he contended.
