Ten years ago the people OF Texas be-
came openly dissatisfied with the manner
In which their State government was be-

from every section Of the State for bust

until the public eye fastened Itself firmly
upon General Lawrence Sullivan Ross, as

triumphantly elected for the second term.
He soon brought order out OF chaos. He

business administration did for Texas
and the people ten years ago.

mand another Ross now. but the services
OF the original Ross can not be commanded
