sCHOES OF THE CONVENTION
Union and the Postal Service had'
large quarters and hundreds of send-
ers and receivers, office boys and
girls wei-e employed. Direct lines run-
ning to all parts of America were
kept humming. It was a busy sight, j
Few in the convention hall -visited
this section, nor knew that it was
there.
NO WHISKEY
If there was whiskey in Houston,
it failed to show any effect on those
who attended the convention. Out of
the multitude present and the thous-
ands that one came in contact with,
this writer- saw only two who show-
ed any signs of intoxicating drinks
and one of these was in the hotel
instead of the convention hall. It
was the dryest gathering of its kind
ever seen. It was in marked
contrast the Republican
Convention in Kansas City, according
to those who attended both!. The
Democrats were there on a serious
mission and not for frivolity. They
certainly showed .the results of hon-
est and serious labors in their de-
liberations and platform.
FIST FIGHTS
Of course there were several tus-
sels and in the melees one or two
fellows resorted to their fists. This
is only natural that out of 25,000
people there would be one or two to
get mad. All such encounters were
the results of rivalry as to who
should carry a banner, something
similar to a couple of University
students bantering for leadership.
After the convention was over these
same fellows were patting each other
on the backs.
TURN OUT RASCALS
The most striking things the
convention was when the nomination
had been made and the platform
adopted. Pros and Anti's, Catholics
and Anti-Catholics, all went from tnt
hall arm-in-arm, as Democrats. Their
differences had been settled and an
agreement had been reached—from
now on through the November elec-
tion they would be- good Democrats
together—and join together in "turn-
ing out the rascals."
WHO'S TO BE SENATOR
The name of Alvin Owsley was
heard on every hand as the candi-
date for United States Senator who
had the best chance oi becoming elect
ed.
Mr. Owsley was mixing among his
friends from over Texas and seemed
to be enjoying this great occasion.
It must be remembered that at the
last Democratic Convention in Madi-
son Sqaure Garden Mr. Owsley re-
ceived approximately 175 votes for
the vice-presidency.

who surged forward to make a care-

Smith for the Presidency, one of the j
popular arguments against him was |
that he was a Catholic. This argu- j
ment was proposed by those who call j
themselves decendents of the found-
ers of the American Constitution who
wrote the statement that everymen j
should exercise the right to worship
God according to the dictates of his j
own conscience and guaranteed to |
him that right. They did not say j
that all except Catholics had that
right but even those who are mem -
bers of that denomination.
The broad-minded protestants to-
day admit that this right should be j
granted the followers of that be-!
lief and will not hold it against a j
candidate who should find himself,
PETIT JURY LIST
Five months ago many people were
apparently shocked that Col. Alviu
Owsley, candidate for the United
States Senate, should be franK
enough to state that he would sup-
port Gov. A1 Smith for the Presiden-
cy should Mr. Smith be nominated.
Other candidates were a long time
about announcing that they also
would support Mr. Smith and one of
them even at this late date is sil-
ent on the question.
Of course all of them will have to
support the nominee of the Democra-
tic Party if they expect tp secure the
Democratic support in Texas. To
those who 'kick over the dash board'
and refuse to support the Democra-
tic Nominee, his name is "Dennis."
Mr. Owsley has led the way—the
others will follow—but in the mean-
time the voters will not—cannot for-
get Alvin Owsley when they cast
their vote for the next United
States Senator. They will elect him.
THEY WILL DO IT

However, since the nomination of |
Gov. Smith, we find Mr. Hoover and
|
Senator Curtis of the Republicans, j
discovering that they too are con-.
nected with the Catholic Church, Mr. j
Hoover declares he was married by,
a Catholic Priest and Mr. Curtis (
discovers that he was baptized by
a Catholic Priest.
The American voter will do well
to consider these facts. In the case
of Gov. Smith he has always been
a member of that church and has
never attempted to hide the fact.
But in the case of Hoover and Cur-
tis, they never made it known that
they too had had direct relations
with the church and held it in good
favor until they saw that they would
need its patronage.
After all one's religion should not
be the basis of one's acceptability to
an office—but it looks like American
voters make this demand.
A MAN OF FORESIGHT <
Seldom does there appear in the
political arena in Texas a man who
is capable of planning the policy of
the National Democratic Convention
in regards to the farm plank. It
must be admitted that this particu-
lar plank is the most important
plank in any national political plat-
form. It is the plank which sways
the farmers' vote.
It is interesting to know that this
year it was a Texan who gave out
several months ago what he consid-
ered a pi*actical plan for the nation-
al government to follow in aiding the
farmers of this nation. The plan
which he has been advocating in
speeches all over Texas during the
past several months has been in-
serted into the Democratic platform.
Read the Democratic platform con-
cerning Farm Relief and then read
the following.-—"If the national gov-
ernment will extend the same back-
ing to the farming class as it now
extends to the bankers, wholesalers,
manufacturers and the buyers of
farm products, we will then hav°
once more real prosperity. I shall
favor a law that will authorize the
government to make loans direct to
the farm associations organized un-
der proper safeguards when secured
by farm products. Such loans should j
extend until such time as the farm!
organizations obtain the prices fixed j
by them for farm products. Farm j
relief that will relieve the farmer,
and get better prices for the pro-1
ducts of the farm must come by j
government credit being extended to j
farmers' organizations."
This statement is in substance ex-
actly what the Democratic platform
adopted at Houston set forth.
Who is this statesman who offers
this plan fronrTexas?
It is none other than Alvin Owsley
candidate for United States Senate-.
His foresight is most likely to be
rewarded by the voters of Texas In
the Julv Primary.
