AUSTIN — Important week-end
political developments to the gov-
ernor’s race served to clarify the
situation to the No. 1 contest con-
flderably. Ernest Thompson, who
had planned to announce for Gov-
ernor about May 1, withdrew from
that contest to get into the Con-
gressional battle in his Amarillo
home district, following appoint-
ment of Marvin Jones, veteran
Texas solon, to a place on the U. S.
Court of Claims.
That left Highway Commissioner
Barry Hines in the top spot as a
possible man to beat W Lee O’Dan-
iel for re-election, and immensely
strengthened Hines chances. Pol-
itical students here have felt all
along that Jerry Sadler will take a
lot of the “blue shirt” vote which
O’Daniel carried solidly last time,

cal ’ gimme" element to Texas
pretty cold. The Governor may win
to spite of his transaction tax, but
he will never win because of it. The
"big boys" who are supporting
O’Daniel are literally scared to
death of him, because of his un-
predictible and unsound economic
ideas, borrowed from the good Dr.
Townsend.
The Chief Justiceship of the
Supreme Court of Texas, the high-
est honor that can come to a Texas
lawyer, was still begging for a taker
at the weekend, following the re-
fusal of Gerald Mann, Attorney
General, and of Eugene Locke, dis-
tinguished Dallas civil practlcioner,
to accept appointment to the post

to participate in this contest.
On Saturday the band took part

In a letter written a few years
before his death, Thomas A. Edi-
son said: “I had conceived the
Idea of recording and reproducing’
human speech and other sounds:
on July 18, 1877."
Mr. Edison went on to say that:
he worked on his first model of
the first phonograph during the*
following two months and that:
“this first model was entirely sue-!
cessful.” He also declared that this i
model comprised all the basic:
principles of modern phonographs
and talking machines.
Many will remember the early
phonograph records made on wax
cylinders. These were greatly in-
ferior to the later disc record, be-
sides being very fragile and short-
lived. Still the principles used to
recording and reproducing the
sounds were the same as those em-
ployed up to the present
The world owes much of its en-
jcyment and instruction to the
idea born to Edison’s fertile brain
more than 62 years ago. It Is grati-
fying that he was permitted to en-
joy a long life in which to develop
and witness the universal employ-
ment of this and other epoch-mak-
ing inventions which he gave to
mankind.
