Men In The Public Eye

Gov. O. E. Colquitt, of Texas. is
among the Democrats who have been
mentioned as possible candidates for
Joseph w. Bailey in the event that
Bailey sticks to his resignation: yet
in spite of that possible candidacy the
governor vigorously defends his action
in vetoing an eight-hour labor bill. At
San Antonio on Labor Day, although
not on the program he was urged by
union men to address the organized Ia
ing of his veto Of the eight-hour bill he
said:
Il vetoed the bill because it provid-
ed that any contractor or employer
permitting any man to labor more
than eight hours should be subject to
a heavy fine and penal sentence. l
said the bill should provide for emer-
gencies, for as it stood it pena1ized
the laboring man himself. A contrac-
tor should have the right in cases Of
emergency, If labor be scarce, to en-
ploy a man to work extra time at extra
pay Emergencies are sure to arise
which would justify the employment
of extra labor, but it should be at ex-
ira pay" .......-
In addition to Gov. Colquit those
who have been mentioned in connec-
ton with the senatorship are former
Gov. Thomas III. Campbell, Col. Jake
Wolters, Thomas Hall. Congressman
C. B. Randall. Congressman Albert s.
Burlson. Cone Johnson and Judge
William Poindexter. The campaign for
the succession is beginning to take
form now, and as Senator Bailey has
said he expected to remain in the state
the battle probably will be hot one,
even for Texas.
In the list of candidates are person
al enemies as well as warm friends of
Bailey, which is more than likely to
force him to take part in the contest.
Then the prohibition question, which
lis the cause of more political trouble
in Texas than in any other state. will
be injected to add to the general inter
est in the campaign.
Gov. Harmon of Ohio, is said to be

considering the advisability of calling
the general assembly of that state in
special session to pass congressional
lapportionment bill, by which it is hop
ed to give the Democrats control OF
a majority Of the districts. The gov.
ernor is not wholly in harmony with
the Democratic state organization, but
IL the special session is called it is un
derstood it will be the result of an
agreement by which the organization
is to dictate next years ticket.
The organization agreed that before
q call was issued it would secure
pledges from the Democratic majority
OF both houses to do no other business

TEMPTATIONS.
Too many Of Us are gardeners

to our temptations. We cultivate
them assiduoudy. We do not
realize that the strength or the
weakness Of a temptation depend.
largely on ourselves. Every time
we yield the temptation to which
we have yielded is strengthened
for its next attack, and it may take
half a dozen victories on our part to
counterfeit the strength impaired to
a temptation bya single failure Of
ours.

Says Louisiana Day Was Big Success

Says Louisiana Day Was Big success.
Hon. r. N. Sims, who was the
orator Of the day at the celebration
of Louisiana day at the Chicago
Land Show on Saturday, Dec. 2, says:
Louisiana Day at the Chicago
Land Show was the most important
and interesting event of the show.
Louisiana was better represented
than any of the other states, its
exhibit was more varied and larger
than any, others, and served to i'm
press upon the thousands who saw it
the tremendous, versatile resources
of the state. The fact that fresh Vege-
tables and citrus fruits of all kinds,
groWnain the state, We're on exhibi-
ton each day, was a marked con-
trast to the snow and ice conditions
under which Chicago was then labor
ing.
s'The visitors to the Louisiana
booth were given fruit and oranges,
sugar cane and other native products
Of Louisiana, and there is no doubt,
judging by the numerous favorable
Communications received, that the
show will prove a great advertise
ment for Louisiana and the south,
and eventually will be the peans of
bringing many homeseekers to the
state"

Want 10 Live in Louisiana.

The display made by Louisiana at
the recent Chicago Land Show at
tracted wide attention, and since
the show the state department OF
agriculture and immigration has re-
ceived numerous letters from peo-
pie residing in all parts of the coun-
try, inquiring as to the possibilities
of Louisiana and expressing a de-
sire to emigrate to the pelican state.
One of the most interesting of these
communications is the following:
"Downers Grove, H., Dec. s, 1911.
"Mr. e. S. Richardson,
"Baton Rouge, La.
"My husband and eldest son be-
came very much interested in Lou
isiana during the land show, which
they attended in Chicago.
"We have seven children, four
boys and three girls, and we would
like to have the boys become farm
ers. We have our own home and an
acre of ground The boys have al
ways had to tend the garden and
care for the COW, horse and chickens.
"The eldest boy has also worked
for farmer during vacation. He
prefers farming to office work Our
eldest daughter is nearly 20 and She
will graduate in June. The boy is
almost Is and has one year more be-
fore finishing at the high school.
Prof. Butler says there is a great
future for the boy. He excells in

and manly that we are all proud OF
him. My husband is a salesman past
so, and we have no money. It has
been about all we could do to sup

Republican Legislatures in New York
and New Mexico.

Our attention has been called to
the fact that two errors were made
in the editorial appearing in The
Chief CT November II under the t.
tie, ELECTION Results Stand7oft.
One Of these was due to incomplete
returns available at the time the ar
ticle was written, and consisted OF
the statement that the Democrats
had secured a majority in the legls-
lature of New Mexico, thus assuring
the choice of two United States SEN
ators from that state. In point OF
fact tie Republicans will control the
legislature and the new senators
will be of that party. The other mis-
take YVES either Typographical or
typographical, and made it appear
that s'the legislatures of New Mex
leo and New Jersey were Wrested
from Democratic control and made
heavily Republican, whereas it was
the legislatures Of New York and
New jersey that were transformed
from Democratic to Republican bodies.
