A WHIRLWIND WIND-UP
FOR LYNCH DAVIDSON
Dallas, July 21.—Lynch Da-
vidson will enter the final week
of the gubernatorial race, ac-
cording to his campaign leader,
“riding the crest of a landslide
to an overwhelming victory.”
“The band wagon is under
full steam and booming,” de-
clared Chas. G. Thomas, the
Houston candidate’s state-wide
manager. "Letters and tele-
grams of support are swamping
our headquarters. All reports
and indications, including vari-
ous straw votes, and the betting
odds, are that Lynch Davidson
is the next Governor of Texas.”
Mr. Thomas, reviewing the
situation on the threshold of
election week, predicts his can-
didate will show a lead in the
primary of from 50,000 up to
a majority, depending upon the
added momentum the ‘landslide’
gains by July 26. ‘‘The com-
bined attacks upon Lynch by his
opponents, showing clearly that
they regard him as the strong-
est candidate,” he said, ‘‘have
convinced the majority of Texas
citizens, especially the home-lov-
ing farmer and laborer, that
Lynch is not only by far the
best fitted candidate for govern-
or, but the winning candidate.”
For second place the Lynch
Davidson management calcu-
lates it will be either Barton,
Robertson, or Mrs. Ferguson,
with Colins a possibility; ex-
pecting T. W. Davidson to run
third or fourth.
“T. W. (The Wrong) David-
son's espousal of the Nonparti-
san League socialistic program
has lost what support he may
have had among the more sub-
stantial citizenship,” Lynch Da-
vidson pointed out, ‘‘and the in-
roads of all the other candidates
have split up and reduced his
farmer-labor support to the low-
est common denominator. He
has lost the support of those
who want governmental econo-
my and lower taxes, by his ex-
travagant proposal to plunge
the State into various socialis-
tic schemes involving the in-
vestment of billions, and to re-
move the constitutional ad va-
lorem tax limit. By his pardon
record and his reported pledge
to a groupe at Port Arthur not
to enforce the open port law, he
h&s lost the support of those
who want law enforcement. He
has lost the support of those
who want educational opportu-
nities for their children, by op-
posing the $15 per capita school
apportionment, and by urging
a $5,000,000 reduction of school
appropriations in the last legis-
lature.
‘‘As for Robertson, the klan
‘‘anointed,._ he is declared to
have lost heavily under the
withering fire of a woman scorn-
ed, involving his prohibition rec-
ord and political tactics. The
charges concerning his military
record contained in a recently
published challenge to a debate
by Barton’R manager, will also
hurt him, it is pointed out.
These circumstances, Lynch
Davidson folks say, together
with an asserted growing senti-
ment. that Robertson is unqual-
ified for the office, have just
about put him out of the rurmi ig
According to the War Depart-
ment records filed in the Adju-
tant General’s office at Austin,
Felix D. Robertson, Dallas, Tex-
as, was appointed a Major of
Cavalry in the National Guard
by Governor James E. Fergu-
son. He was drafted into Fed-
eral service August 5, 1917. He
was assigned to the 13‘2nd Field
Artillery, 36th Division at Camp
Bowie, Texas. He went before
an efficiency board at Camp
Bowie; he received an honorable
discharge May 9th, 1918, for the
convenience of the Government.
rIhe 36th Division sailed for
France in July, 1918, and was
in the battle line for 21 days.
The glorious history of the 36th
Division is known to every
American. On May 9th, 1918,
the date Judge Felix Robertson
now candidate for Governor,
was discharged, the United!
States of America was pleading
for officers and for men.
Lynch Davidson campaigned
last week through northeast
Texas, where he declared he
found his strength as great as
in the ‘‘solid west.” For the
final week he plans a whirl-wind
windup of the larger cities, con-
cluding with an address in his
home city of Houston, Friday
night, July 25, where prepara-
tions are being made, it is an-
nounced, to give him the great-
est home-coming reception ever
accorded a Texas gubernatorial
candidate. The celebration will
be at Miller Memorial open air
theater at Hermann Park, un-
der the auspices of the men’s
and women’s Harris County
Lynch Davidson Clubs. There
will be a band concert and ten-
minute speeches by several
prominent men and women. Col.
J. Lewis Thompson, moving spir
it of the Lynch Davidson cam-
paign in South Texas, made it
clear that it is not to be so much
a political meeting as a home-
coming.
‘‘We shall expect the majori-
ty of Harris County citizenship
to be there to welcome Hous-
ton’s distinguished son and the
next governor of Texas home
from his five weeks strenuous
campaign,” said Col. Thompson.
‘‘And when the votes are count-
ed July 26, the majority of those
cast in Harris County will be
for Lynch Davidson.”
