vantage at the outset of lower quota

TINS show now going on. l wish every
body In the State might visit Houston this
week and see what I have seen.
Politics? Well. ! don't think one should
push politics to the front at this time
My idea is that the people are averse
to talking politics or even thinking OF poll
tics now. This campaign has been opened
about eight months ahrad OF time. OF
course. ] never object to stating my posi-
ton on any issue or towards the candidacy
of any aspirsnt for office. | don't think
the withdrawal OF Chairman Blake as II
gubernatorial possibility Will have any
spprcciable effect upon that race.
ITO begin with, I am for Charley Gull

made a superb governor and II elected will
make II superb senator His chances for
election. as almost everybody knows, seem
TO be just as bright as possible when a
man has any opposition at all
Il shall support 10 Sayers for governor
| think the Bastrop man has as good a
chance to win se any other candidate. His
prospects in North Texas are quite good
He has a large and enthusiastic following
and we mean TO try 10 carry the county
with Its big delegation for him.
But these are only surface Indications
that ! speak of. Few voters besides those
who have a personal choice have expressed
themselves In regard to any Of these con-
tests. Conditions may change a great deal
There is no telling what the campaign may
develop. But, as ] remarked before. poll
tics should be dropped for six months and
business pushed TO the front. The politi-
clans should be made to adopt this course.

paign. but can get my share of It as
well as of anything else
Then Colonel Holland went off to find
some ladies. with whom he wished TO dis
cuss horticulture and botany.
