WAS THAT COSTLY SENATE INVES-
TIGATION OF SENATOR MAYFIELD'S
MAKING - OR WORK OF ENEMIES?
THE SENATOR’S VERSION OF FACTS THAT OTHERS HAVE
PERVERTED* AS SET DOWN BY A DALLAS LADY WHO
WENT “WITH AN OPEN MIND” TO HEAR THE SENATOR
. SPEAK
Editor’s Note;—This paper has received the subjoined communication from
a Dallas friend. It is a copy of a communication addressed to The News.
We make no apologies for its length. We could not afford to give it so
much space, except for the fact that we have got that old Texas idea in us
that makes us want to see every fellow get a square deal. Just before the
meeting of the National Democratic Convention at Houston we saw in the
Houston papers pictures of the two men' (one an oil magnate, the other a
lumber baron) who, according to the newspapers of five and a half years
ago, each put $10,000,00 into a fund to keep Earl B. Mayfield’s name off the
ticket for the general election, notwithstanding he had won out in both
primaries. The paper carrying the pictures of those men heralded them
“as among Texas’ most prominent democratic leaders.’’ That was nauseating.
They backed one Geo. E. B. Peddy as against Mayfield; they put up $20,000.00
to defeat the will of the Democratic party of Texas by keeping the name of
its nominee for the Senate of the general election ticket. Published confes-
sions from them averred that they had voted against the nominee of the
party—and yet those same “leading democrats of 1928” drew generously on
their piled-up millions to beat democracy’s choice back in 1922. They almost
made a pauper of Earl B. Mayfield and the following tells that story. As a
Texas we like a “square deal”;and if we were not for Mayfield otherwise,
we’d bo for him now just because of the way he was hounded by a lot of
men whose wealth gave them power—the men who bolted the nominee in 1922
and get their pictures into the^papers as “leading and influential democrats”
in 1928.
To The News:
On the night of July 18 Senator
Mayfield spoke in the City Hall at
Dallas, and among other things answ-
ered the charge repeatedly made a-
gainst him by some of his opponents
of being “an expensive Senator.” Hav-
ing heard this charge made against
Senator Mayfield, I was desirous of
hearing his explanation of same and
went there with an open mind. In. my
opinion Senator Mayfield answered
the charge satisfactorily, and it seems
to me that after this explanation has
been made his opponents should not be
guilty any further of such unfair
statement.
Senator Mayfield among other
things said: “When 1 was elected to
the Senate in 1922 my political ene-
mies questioned my election. Although
I had been elected three times in one
year and the last election received
136,000 majority, yet they questioned
it, although my majority was more
votes than my opponent actually re-
ceived, and these men brought about
an investigation. It was not at my in-
stigation that this investigation of
twenty-three months duration was
brought about. The first investigation
was held in Texas in Corsicana, Texas,
when they tried to keep my name off
the ballot as the Democratic nominee,
and as fast as we would get one in-
junction set aside they would get out
another and kept me in the court at
a big expense to defend my right to
go on the ballot as the nominee of the
Democracy of ray state.
“This fight was an affront to the
Democrats of Texas and was as much
a fight on the Democratic party as it
was to me, because I had been nomin-
ated by the soverign voters of my
state and they had a right to expect
my name on the ballot as their nom-
inee. The investigation and court
action in Texas cost me $7,000. I
borrowed this money personally from
the Austin Banks, giving my individ-
ual note for it. I then went to Wash-
ington, and when I reached there found
the same men who had fought me in
Texas in Washington vowing that I
should never take the oath 0"f,office.
“However, I did take the oath of
office, but the very next day they had
a resolution introduced to have
me unseated as the Democratic Sena-
tor from Texas. The investigation was
then started. I did not seek the in-
vestigation and had nothing to do with
it. It was not brought about by me
because in my heart 1 knew I had not
been guilty of any improper practices
and knew that there was absolutely
nothing in the charges made. For
twenty-three mountbs the investiga-
tion proceeded. The committee on
Privileges and Elections referred the
matter to a sub-committee. The sub-
committee composed of three Republi-
cans and two Democrats after an in-
vestigation lasting, as stated, twenty-
three months reported unanimously
that not a single solitary charge a-
gainst me had been sustained. This
report upon being considered by the
General Committee on Privileges and
Elections was unaminously adopted by
the whole committee on Privileges and
Elections composed of seven Republi-
cans and six Democrats. The report
then went to the Senate composed of
fifty-three Republicans and forty-
three Democrats, and the United
States Senate without a dissenting
vote adopted the report and exonerated
me in every particular as to each and
every charge.
“This investigation at Washington
cost $30,500. It was a burden to me
not of my seeking, because I knew I
was right, but was brought about by
those politicians who went to Wash-
ington and tried tothwart the will of
“One day I was sitting in the Demo-
cratic cloakroom and Senator Thad-
deus H. Caraway of Arkansas came up
to me, put his hand on my shoulder in
a friendly way, and said: ‘Mayfield,
this investigation must have cost you
a great deal. How much has it cost
you?’ I told him that I did not know
exactly but could look it up. Senator

FINAL SUGGESTIONS TO THOSE
GOING TO A. & M. SHORT COURSE
You will find in this issue, as you
have found in the last two or three
issues, of the paper that much space
has been given to the coining Short
Course at A. & M. College. Here are
some final suggestions for you to re-
member:
1— You will find the schedule of the
Special Short Course train and the
cost of round trip ticket in this issue
either in the big display ad, or in a
news article telling about the number
registrations. If you are getting a
complimentary trip thru club work,
your agent will have your ticket for
you. If you must buy your own ticket,
be at your depot at least a few minut-
es in advance of time for train to de-
part, because many will want to buy
tickets and that will delay us if all
wait till the last minute.
2— Take a little lunch for Sunday
noon and for supper on the campus
Sunday night. We’ll have refresh-
ments on the train, but the lunch will
be handy—and there might be some
one on the train without lunch. With
SMITH COUNTY HAS PROS-
PECT OF CHEESE FACTORY
Promise Made That Factory Will Be
Located in Tyler if Farm Milk
Production is Increased
A promise from the Craft cheese
corporation that a cheese factory will
be located in Tyler if milk and butter
production in “farms of the county is
increased has ushered in prospects for
adding another industry here—that of
dairying. -
County Agent Elbert Gentry, leader
in the dairy movement, with Judge
Sam Lindsey, has been carrying on ex-
periments on the Lindsey farm near
Tyler. The object of the experiments
is to determine the best combination of
plants for 12-month pasture.
A pasture lasting the year around
and providing legumes at all times is
one of the requisites for successful
dairying, according to Mr. Gentry.
With this in view, he is testing ve-
rious kinds of clovers, grasses, les-
pedesa, and other source of legumes.
Mr. Gentry said he had brought the
possibilities of darying in Smith coun-
ty to attention of A. & M. college au-
thorities
of the a
he has received a suggestive plan for
carrying on a 20-cow dairy experiment
at the State experiment farm at Troup
With an initial expenditure of $2,-
600, under Mr. Conner's plan, the
dairy- experiment at the State experi-
ment farm could be started. It would be
in charge of an experienced dairyman
A close check-up would ne made, and
records kept, of all results of the ex-
periment. This information would be
made available not only to Smith
county but to all other sections of the
country.
The primary essentials for success-
ful dairying, Mr. Gentry said, are
adequate shade, grass and water.
Smith county, and most other East
Texas counties, he said, possess two
of these essentials-^shade and water.
To a considerable extent, he added,
East Texas has dependable pastures.
In his opinion, however, this section
should develop pastures that will pro-
vide leguminous |eed for dairy cows
12 months in the year.
If that is accomplished, and a
cheese factory is located in the county
to consume the milk that is produced,
he believes that dairying will become
a profitable line of business for the
farmers of Smith county.
Mr. Gentry said that his conversa-
such we could divide and be neighbor- mr' vrenuy saiu uim ms iunvers»-

fine clothes. The boys can take along

of the boys wear their overalls and big

Craft cheese corporation indicated to
him that the corporation would like
to locate a cheese plant in this county.
This for the reason that a plant in
Smith county could be used as a cheese

EAST TEXAS CROPS
GOOD, SURVEY SHOWS
Feed Crops, Said to Be Showing
Prospects for Fine fields;
Cotton will be Late
Longview, July 21 — Agricultural
conditions are generally good in the
East Texas area, it has been revealed
through a personal survey by J. E.
Stanford, agricultural director of the
East Texas Chamber of Commerce,
conducted the last week, and by cor-
respondence from over practically the
entire territory. Crop conditions, ex-
cept in small scattered localities, were
found to be very satisfactory.
Although cotton has shown a mark-
ed improvement with the hot weather
bf the last ten days, it still is two to
three weeks late, and there are reports
of some weevil' damage from many
localities.
Feed crops give cause for optimism.
Acreage in feed crops is considerably
above the average for this section of
the state, and good production is as-
sured. In a wide variety of feeds are
corn, oats, peanuts, peas, grain sorgh-
ums and hay crops.
Prospects for the sweet potato crop
^ ^ . ..are good. There has been a large
3. From A. B. ^Conner, headi production of Irish potatoes and on-
gricultural experiment system/ ions in some sections, but the prices
received for Irish potatoes was unsat
isfactory.
Girls and boys can take their bathing j
suits—but mixed bathing is not .mow-1
ed. You should take towels and toilet
articles.
4—The girls will have for chaperon-
es members of the W. H. D. clubs un-
der the direction of Miss Huffhines
and (after they arrive at College) they
will be in charge of the entire group
of Home Demonstration agents. The
boys will have as their companions and
pals’ Mr. Gentry, Mr. Edwards and
other men in the party. The'import-
ant part for boys and girls to remem-
ber is that they must willingly and
promptly obey all rules and regula-
tions. By that means they can have a
better time than otherwise-
s'—Boys and girls will not pass from
coach to coach while on the train is
in motion—unless they have special
permission from chaperone or escort.
They may visit, other county delega-
tions— but. this should be done when
the train is at station and not while
it is moving.
6— The Special Train will go down
to College Station Sunday, July 29,
and return Saturday, August 4. See
the schedule in advertisement or in the
news article so that your people will
know at what hour to meet you at
your station when you return.
7— Our train will arrive at College
Station at 4:3(1 Sunday afternoon. We
have already registered for our rooms.
So it will not take us long to go to our
rooms and bathe and doll up. Then we
will get out on the campus and see
things and meet people—and eat our
evening meal from the lunches we
have carried. Then, what do you saY
to this ? Suppose we all go to church
that night. Dr. W. F. Andrews, for-
mer Smith county minister and cham-
pion of the 4-H boys and girls and the
W. H. D. members, has written from
his pastorate at Huntsville that he
expects to meet the Smith county dele-
gation at College Station. Let’s all
go in a body to hear a good sermon
and the fine music. What do you say
to that? We will not be too tired,
for the church service. It will be
helpful and we will enjoy it. ~‘** 1 2 :
ANNOUNCEMENT PARTY
FOR BRIDE-ELECT. MISS
MARJORIE EDWARDS
The tomato crop in both
quality and quantity was considerably
above the average, and prices as a
whole were fairly satisfactory. The
peach crop throughout the section is
good, and the movement so far has
brought fair prices.
Many pure-bread dairy cattle are
being brought into all parts of the
territory. The new blood and improv-
ed feeding methods are resulting in
a gradual increase in milk production
per cow. Swine herds of the territory
have reached such a state of improve-
ment that the movement is one of ex-
port rather than import. Several cars
of registered guilts have been shipped
out of East Texas within the last
Jew months, and a similar movement
■of highgrade feeder pigs is expected
to go out to the corn and grain sorgh-
jum belts early in the fall. Many in-
quires relating to the movement of
feeder pigs, through the East Texas
Feeder Pig Association, have been re-
ceived by the agricultural department
of the regional chamber of commerce,
which sponsored organization of the

Tammany Never Helped Elect Cleve-
land or Wilson—Machine's Triumph
Humiliating to Real Democrats
1. The New York wet organization twice prevented the nomination by
the Democratic party of a logical “dry” candidate for the presidency, pre-
ferring certain defeat to lack of absolute control. Then that organization
knifed the Democratic ticket in return for state political advantages.
2. At the Democratic convention in New York in 1924, Mr. McAdoo was
the leading candidate, quite obviously having the support of a majority of
Democrats and of many more than the number of Democrats desiring the
nomination of Governor Smith in 1928, The New York wet organization
prevented his nomination solely because he was dry, injected the false issue
of religion as a last desperate means.
3. When it became apparent that a continuation of the contest between
Mr. McAdoo and Governor Smith would rend the Democratic party, Mr.
McAdoo showed his unselfishness by withdrawing his name from further
consideration. The friends of Governor Smith seized upon the resulting
situation to press the name of their factional candidate.
4. The method of "building up” Governor Smith’s candidacy has been
without parallel in United" States political history. Republican papers have
leaded, large-type editorials insisting upon his nomination. The whole mat-
ter is covered deep with suspicion. It is perfectly apparent that no other
candidate, no other man, in America has been able to command to such an
extent powerful unseen influences.
5. The Southern Democracy, consistent in its political position for a
generation, absolutely dry, was told that it must accept Governor Smith’s
candidacy of the Democratic or the party would be split and Civil War punitive
measures would be invoked against the South.
6. The nomination of Governor Smith by the Democratic Convention at
Houston demands of the South and West a violation of conscience, a disregard
of principle and honor and a public, recorded humiliation.
7. That his nomination heads straight back to the saloon is perfectly
apparent. Platforms and professions mean nothing in the face of acts, ut-
terances, and records made before the days of campaign expediency. If a
wet is elected president, it will immediately be clainied that the nation by
popular vote has disavowed the prohibition law and a massed assault all
along the line will immediately be ordered for the purpose or restoring a
five billion dollar trade in intoxicating liquors.
8. The methods of Tammany in New York raise the grave question
whether it might not be possible for the same organization to build up in
the nation a similar machine. It is believed that in New York, Tammany
names not only the Democrat, but the Republican election officials at many
polling places and that as a result, opposition to Tammany is under an almost
hopeless handicap. With hundreds of millions of liquor profits involved, the
nation cannot afford to see the establishment of such a machine in federal
power.
9. Beyond doubt, many men at Houston voted for the nomination of
Governor Smith in the hope perhaps a forlorn hope, that the party might be
delivered from the body of this death. If this is to be done, the nation must
gpeak with utter finality. The best service that a Democrat can render the
Democratic party in the present situation is to register an effective protest
at the ballot box.

Relatives at Gallatin, Cherokee

having used this occasion from a visit
to their old homes and with their
former neighbors. Never has there
been a time when the citizenship here
have co-operated more closely or been
so nearly of one frame of mind as they
were in the preliminary preparations
for Friday’s gathering.
Unlike the ordinary community
picnic, dinner was not served “picnic
style,” or “free to all.” There were
many individual families or little cir-
cles who had their dinners together—
but the Committee served dinners at
50 cents per plate, it being understood
that the net proceeds were to be put
into a fund for the construction qf a
community auditorium. Soda .water
to the extent of 10,000 bottles had
been sold by mid afternoon—-and it is
estimated that 200 cases more or 5000
bottles could have been sold during the
remainder of the day, if it had been
on hand.
One of the main attractions for the
day did not materialize because Prof.
Witte’s Municipal Band of Tyler, the
main attraction at almost every public
gathering of this character, had lost
all of their instruments by fire a week
before the Edom gathering. The com-
munity speaks its special gratitude to
Hon. Charley Brogan and Senator
Thomas G. Pollard for their counsel
and their untiring energies and efforts
in planning this gathering.
Governor Dan Moody, Lt. Gov. Bar-
ry Miller, Hon. Alvin Owsley and sev-
eral other candidates and notables of
state-wide reputation spoke. The
gathering was continued into the even-
ing at which time the county and local
candidates had their inning.

Marshall, July 23—Fifteen Jap-
anese post-war bonds, having a total
valuation of $487.50 in American gold
were found Friday under the platform
scales in the plant of Swift and Com-
pany here. The bonds bearing 6 Viper
cent interest and worth $32.50 each
were of the series of 1924. They
were found by Louis McCoy, shipping
clerk, while the scales were being
cleaned and immediately turned over
to E. M. Henderson, manager, who
has placed them with E. H. Fry who
will communicate with the Papanese
government in an effort to locate the
owners of the bonds. The bonds, it
believed, were stolen from registered
mail, and hid under the platform, al-
though no clue has been developed. :

What is said to be one of the most
valuuble booklets ever issued for the
benefit of the farmers of the State
has just been published by the State
Fair of Texas for free distribution
and is available to anyone wishing a
copy.
The pamphlet is entitled “A Money
Making Farm”, and is the record of
how in 1927 one farmer in Dallas*
County worked his 200-acres so as to
enable him to bank $15,000 that year.
The booklet tells how and when he
planted, cultivated and harvested his
crops, how much each operation cost
him, how much money he has paid
for everything he raised on the 200
aerts and many other interesting de-
tails, and boiled down into 32 pages
of reading matter.
