Borne of ths West Teiss pipers

Hons bsck on him becauss he la be
Ins aupported by Harry Miller W. A
Hanger. Peter Radford snd other al

These papers believe thai tin brewery
people want lo defeat Ijooney with
Wood because Looney prosecuted the
breweries. These pspers doubt Woods
loyally lo prohibition because the an-
ils are for him.
A certain philosophical politician
In Bnyder the other day eiplslned the

prove Ihst Judge Wood Is less s pro
nor that he would be any mors len
ient than the low requires on the
breweries. It Is 1 custom of the so-
ils fjrt oppose the pro that Is In office.
Just ss Republlcsns snd Demncrsta
are dlnposed to vote ssnlnls the In-
cumbent of the opposite school sltho
they msy have to support a candidate
of the same party as the present offl-

J mine Woods platform pledges
hsve s clear ring of honesty snd his
eroid as s prohibitionist is clean.
He slates pointedly that he would re

none of us wants anybody pomocut-

The plan of cRtabllHhlng a system
of Inrni banks ai proponed by Judgo
Kiddie candidate for the United
Htatpf Senate Ib the solution of the
land problem.
He ihowt In hti opening address
nt Wainhachlo that people cannot
buy high priced Itnd and pay a hlgu
rate of Interest and over pay It out
We need cheap money for that pur-
pose the rate not to exceed 4 per cent
or & per cent and the way to get It la
for the government to lend Its credit
to the land banks and secure itself
by the l.nd. The plan la feasible and
practical beyond any sort of a doubt
and the people ought to elect him to
the Senate In order to give him a
chanro to work out the plan.
It Is well known that Judge Riddle
has the greatest constructive plat-
form that hns ever been offered by
nny man who ever aspired to a pub-
lic position In Texas but his land
hank system Is perhaps the greatest
of all. 6
