DEMOCRATIC CLUB SAYINGS.

Col Culberson says TO get the legal ten
der to the people or in the channels Of COM
| merce, Make deficit then cover it by
| an issue of legal tenders" This is dis
tinct scheme and to the point; it is not a
! negative but positive policy. Don't the
| government have to redeem this fiat money!
| Say the security under the Gibbs bill is not
| any better than its critics claim, still the
| legal tender advanced TO the national banks
| of circulation must be returned OF has the
proceeds of the security to redeem or cancel
| them with. It's some security.
"Make deficits then issue legal tenders
to cover them Is this not straight Green
back doctrine? VIII Sulphur Springs and
Bonham read Congressman Culberson out
OF the party along with Citizen Gibbs!
Hadn't these clubs better larry awhile I'M
til the Democratic party in convention as
sembled indorses plan to get to The peo-
pie with this legal tender! BY being in
too big hurry they might have to resO-
lutte themselves back in the party. The
best method Of getting the legal tenders in
circulation is debatable in the party. Bon
ham and Sulphur Springs seem to be OPP
posed to a campaign of education and bent
on resolut!ng and reading out in advance.
AT their next meetings they will read
Dave Culberson and George Clark and
others out of the party for discussing a
question that the Democratic party is try
ing TO get light on from the masses of its
voters. If those ''only" Simon pure Demo-
Gratis want TO stuff cotton in their ears and
corncobs in their mouths, all right, but
they have no right to read out or demand
anybody else's resignation. They are not
the party. Mr.. Gibbs has been requested
to get up discussions in the party; hasn't
he done it? The old politicians that are
willing to speak out at all, Still want to
keep Gibbs at disadvantage by not pre-
Senting bill or specific proposition. The
people won't stand this unfair way of fight
ing or talking. No politician is entitled to
a hearing who wont present a specific
measure, and no politician is making any
headWay against the Sub-treasury or the
Gibbs bill who does not present a substi-
tute equally as specific. CLUBS already or
ganized and men intending to organize clubs
are cutting out and preserving these specific
measures for comparison. Glitterin9 gen
eralities are below par in this campaign of
education
Gibbs made a martyr of himself in the
interest OF L campaign of education by
Offering specific measure. Others will
come up TO the same stake or lose their
influence and representative offices. Here
after the people are going to know eX-
actly what II man favors before he goes
as 4 delegate 70 q convention or a repre-
sentative to congress or the legislature
this demand, and the Democratic clubs of
education will require specific measures
along with speeches from big guns. ~
No man, not even sCross Timbers
Democrat" will be allowed to sit on log
or box this summer and white and talk
politics, unless he has read uD on the pend
ing political issues. Even the b0otblacks
halo ''ches1nuts'' at man who cusses
both and yet offers no substitute for the
L.
entitled to 4 hearing who don't i'll joint
debate, and in the beginning of his
speech, present equally as specific a
measure. If man is smart enough to
know that the sub-treasurv won't do he
ought to be smart enough TO propose q
measure that will be an improvement. The
campaign of education will shut out the
negative statesman.
Gibbs was appointed to get up campaign
of education and discussion in the Demo
cratic ranks. Instead of being asked TO re-
sign he may be given q medal, if the best
political measures are presented from
Texas. The top water critics with no propo-
sition of their own are getting laughed at
The Third party is ''not in it." but the
Democracy is thinking and moving ON its
own line of thought
How to get the additional circulating
medium to the people is the issue and no
man can avoid it. The party in congress
this winter or in convention next summer
will say from what source comes the least
Objectionable plan.
George Clark's letter to the News is as
much like Gibbs speech as two black eyed
peas, and they are evidently together on
the main principles and line of discussion
in the party. Clark is for a popularized
banking bill which will localize the benefits
OF circulation. Col. Culberson is for max
ing deficits and covering with legal tender
issues" To answer the demand of the peo-
pie both these gentlemen must present a
bill. In discussions this summer and fall
the people will tolerate nothing less than
specific measures, al least as specific as the
Gibbs bill and the sub-treasury bill. Every
man. no matter how big in politics. must
contribute bill or specific proposition to
the campaign of education. The people
who are the Democratic party in Texas
want their leaders to get down out of the
moon. What are you for in case the party
succeeds! The man with the hoe don't
care q fig what you are against ssunless he
also knows exactly you are for.
They may not accept any bill yet offered, |
but the press and the people are for cam |
paign of specific education, and the politi- |
clan who doesn't realize it, is going to be |
Tin the soup
To George Clark: Give us bill or spe-
cific proposition, SO the clubs can discuss it |
Understandings. You say that YOU thinka |
banking system can be devised that will re- |
lieve the people OF the money trust and yet |
be on a safe basis. Give rs your measure |
To Col. Culberson: Tell us how to 'make |
deficits big enough and fast enough and |
well enough distributed to get this legal |
tender in circulation on an equitable basis |
Fully develop and disclose your plan and it |
may ind favor.
To Judge Abbott: Your article in the |
News is all right as far as IL goes. but be !
more specific. Give US bill showing how |
your additional legal tenders are to reach |
the people or get IN the channels of trade
Don't stop at the jumping of place

Clark out of the party. VIII this scare of
