WHAT THE EDITORS
SAY OF DAVIDSON
CAMPAIGN.
Race Between Lynch and Ma (
Lynch Davidson and Dan
Moody will find Mrs. (Ma) Fei
guson hard to beat said a strong j
Ferguson supporter to the writ
er a few nights ago. Others ex j
press a similar opinion and some I
| say that the candidate who de j
feats Mrs. Ferguson will be the j
1 next Governor of Texas. We do j
; not presume to know but some* j
how we feel that the race is |
going to be between Mrs. Fer
i guson and Lynch Davidson.—
Jeff McLemore, Editor H-broi.
ville Times, ^. —j;
Weary Hate Campaigns
It is our firm conviction that
the support of a majority of
t&ose who opposed the Fergu-
4#ons and, at the same time, are
inindfui of the welfares of the
4tate will support Mr. Davidson
Jtnd that if a second primary is
necessary <in order to name a
nominee, the second campaign
will be between Mr. Davidson
atnd Mrs. Ferguson. We believe
thus because we are convinced
that the people of Texas are
weary of campaigns in which
hatred and denom are the con-
trolling impulses—The Denison
Herald. /:

Does Not Fear Big Dailies
That most of the big daily
papers in Texas, from the Dal-
las News down to the Honston
Chronicle, are opposing him,
tloesn't seem to worry Lynch
Davidson very much. He doubt
less recalls that these papers,
owned and controlled by incor-
porated companies, with no
name at the head of the editori
al column, have opposed many
men in the past who, neverthe-
less and notwithstanding, in
spite of such "weighty" opposi-
tion, have battled on to success.
Lynch made a good ciean fight
two years ago on a promise of
giving Texas a business admin
istration (and God knows it
needs at least one business ad-
ministration) , and he failed only
by a few votes of entering the
second primary, which- would
Believes as McLemore Does
The woods are full of people
who concur with Editor McLe
more's opinion that the race is
'going to be between Mrs. Fer
, jruson and Lynch Davidson.—
; Sherman Democrat.
Davidson Is The Man
The News does not intend to
' have a great deal to say regard
' in<r the governor's race, but we
are convinced that Lynch David
son is the candidate who should
be elected. Ferguson and Moody
are having a merry row just now
and it will get worse and worse
as the campaign continues. Dav
idson is a safe and sane business
man who is big enought to be
successful as well as in the af
! fairs of the State, and for that
I reason the News feels that he is
the most capable candidate in
? the field. We can not help but
think that Moody has been play
ing politics in his spectacular
1 effort to "save the state."—Ran
! dall Countv News.
ing him to be honest—than that
of the governorship of Texas.
The Fergusons have had hold of
the public teat too long. Dan
Moody doesn't need the job—it
will ruin him financially. Lynch
Davidson is the only man in the
race able to sustain the finan-
cial loss of being our governor,
and he is the sort of business
man-statesman who will gladly
sacrifice the salary loss in order
to serve the state he loves so
well.—Clarendon News.
Davidson First Choice
Davidson was our choice two
years ago and is today. He
represents a conservative busi
ness m'u:!r.ic- .-itlon with t! .? ox
perience of actual accomplish-
ment to back it up. We would
like 10 see a, real business head
direct our institutions.—Uvalde
NewsLeader.
they do so, the nomination of
Lynch Davidson in the first pri
mary is a foregone conclusion.
Brownwood Bulletin.
Elect Lynch—End Fight
Let's go ahead and elect Lynch
! Davidson and let Pa an<) Ma and
Dan fight it out. Then we know
we shall have a man who can
and will do the job in an honest
and businesslike manner, and
shall havf no enemies to punish
— Celina Record.
Dan Can't Afford It
Dan Moody is said to be a
; poor boy, but if his friends have
! any love for him at all there is
! not a job in the gift of the peo*
| pie that will drive him deeper
into poverty and debt—conced
life t£..
Davidson Well Qualified
Lynch Davidson has presented
himself as a candidate for Gov
trnor. Not only has he been
successful in his private busi-
ness but he has demonstrated
these same principals m state
af'airs. His rehabilitation of
the state railroad is a shining
example of what can be done
if business principles are appli-
ed to government administra-
tion.—Aubrey Argus.
Ability First Qualification
In selection of a Governor for
this state, Texas peo^fe ought to
be actuated by someWJing more
tangible than admiration for a
young man's spectacular politi
cal career. They ought to be ac-
tuated by a purpose to protect
their own inteiests by placing
in the executive office at Aus-
tin a man who not only has an
ardent desire but a demonstrat-
ed ability to conduct the busi-
ness of the office in a manner
that will preserve the best in-
terest of the whole state and all
its people. The Bulletin earnest
ly hopes that in this year's pri
mary campaign the people of the
state may demonstrate that
they have ceased to chose their
Governors merely as an act of
protest, but have determined
that they will vote positively
for a man whom they believe to
be capable of giving them the
kind of service they desire. If
Davidson Stands Test
The watchword of the Lynch
Davidson forces over the state
is "Seasoned ability coupled
with rugged honesty, deserves
to win." There is an ultimate
truth in the statement, for when
the test of real qualification is
applied to the candidates in the
race for the Democratic nomina
tion for Governor, Davidson is
the only man who stands the
test. Mr. Davidson's platform
is one of the greatest ever pro
posed . y any cand date for Gov
<>rnor. It is not a series of rash
promises to do or not to do cer-
tain things. It is the honest
man that he will do all in his
power to bring about certain
legislation and governmental re
forms by calling into council the
best minds of the state. Texas
does not need a theorist, politi
cian or religious fanatic for
Governor. The great need of the
state is to have a business man
in charge of affairs—a man
who is able to look after the
state's business, leaving the po-
litics to the lawyers and lobby-
ist. Lynch Davidson is the man
—Wheeler Review.
Will WTin in Run-Off
| The Childress Index opines
that if Lynch Davidson is sue
cessful in getting foothold in the
! second primary, the eliminated
! candidate's support will rally to
' the Houston man like ducks to
a dough pile. When the canv
| paign was in its swaddling cloth
es, immediately following Dav-
; idson's, Ferguson's and Moody's
: announcemtns of their intents
and purposes, the Messenger
opined as much, ?.nd at the time
j this great campaign of the peo
i pie's interests offered to wager,
i place or gamble a goodly sum
of money, marbles or cha'k the
opinion would fruit in beautiful
realization when the fun and
+he frolic . llmaxed in the s -cond
contest.—Decatur Messenger
