SOME FACTS ABOUT

Gov. Colquitt Forgot to State at

Bat Only a Month Ago.

If the newspaper reports are 10

Sherman, in discussing penitentiary
affairs, dramatically displayed the
yellow Heifer," and waving 1t
around his head, as tears came into
his eyes, said "And yet they ask
you to defeat me for Governor be-
cause I abolished things like that. y
Gov. Colquitt pictured how the CON
victs had been in the past mistreated
by this brutal instrument. 1t Is
stated that the Governor, having
finished a discussion of this SUD
ject flung the great leather strap
from him with scornful gesture
The bat was used by Colquitt's
appointees for thirteen months after
his inauguration. 1T was abolished
on iIarch IS, 1912, according to
extract of prison minutes of March
rs. Quoted in letter from peniten-'
tiary authorities to Governor Col
Guitt dated March 20, 1912. See
Fort Worth Record of March 81,
1912. Why, Governor Colquitt, II
the bat was such terrible 1nstru-
ment of torture did you allow its
use for thirteen months after you
were inaugurated? You could have
abolished it the day you came into |
office, for you had the power to do |
so, Why do you say that you are
sought to be defeated for abolish
ing the bat, when in fact Judge
Ramsey announced for the place
you now hold six months before
you abolished this brutal instru-
nent?"
We are glad that the bat has

IF CARRIED TO BALLOT BOX.

Hon. Choice B. Randell, who is a
candidate for the United States
senate, is telling the people that
prohibition it not democratic
question, but moral issue.
That is strange reasoning.
Whatever goes to the ballot box
is a moral issue.
Whatever goes to the ballot box
is a democratic question,
OF course, there are varying de-
grees, but every question to be yot-
ed on has to do with both morality
and democracy.
Mr. Randell is pressing the mat
ter of no man serving or attempt
ing to serve-two masters; isn't
that moral issue as well as dem
ocratic question?
Mr.. Randell is an anti-prohibi-
zionist; taking his own definition,
where can we place him but as
believer in the immortality of pro-
And inasmuch as prohibition has
to do with the form of government
under which we are to live, is Mr..
RandelI going to say that democra-
cy has no concern in so important
a consideration?
This thing of diyoYcing-or at
tempting to divorce--important
questions from democracy is respon-
;fbie for all the confusion and all
he bitterness which characterize
political campaigns in this state.
We have Governor Colquitt say
ng to the people of Abilene; Il do !
ot believe the people of this state
ant a repetition of this bitter
ess." There would be no bitter
ess, insofar as democrats are con-
4rned, if the democratic party
ould declare its mind as to pro-
ibition.
Political cowardice has brought
to the waters of strife, and there
n be neither political peace nor
gislatiye rest until one side or the
her plucks up the courage to COM
It the party on all vital issues;
e process of elimination viii then
its perfect work
A moral issue is democratic
estion, and a democratic question
a moral issue, if carried to the
lot box.-Waco TfmesSHerald :,

The state department is in re-
