The following editorial from tn,

great deal of interest. as this was

Judge Joe e. Lancaster of Plain
view spent Saturday in Denison in
the interest of his candidacy for
congressman at large and took oc-
CASTOR in private way to make
known his views upon the situation
to those with whom he held con-
verse. 1t is generally conceded tina,
the Panhandle is entitled to one or
the congressman at large given to
the state under the recent reappor-
tionment act, inasmuch rs that sec
ton has shown greater gains in pop
ulation in the last decade than any
other section of the state, and in
| response to the sentiment Judge
Lancaster early In his campaign am
aounced his candidacy and canvass

state. Subsequently, Judge ]. N,
Browning of Amarillo, formerly
lieutenant governor, made known
his desires in the premises and thu:
the Panhandle presents two candi

= not to be supposed that the dem
oerats will favor both OF these gen
tlemen coming as they do from on
section, but is it likely that one o
them will be favored and his col
. league chosen from some other por
tion OF the state, The Herald /
e free to say that under the eireum
I stances, if the democracy is going t
e recognize the claims of the Par
handle. Judge Lancaster ought b
all to receive the vote OF the den
ocrats in the primary In preferene
to Judge Browning, So far as W
know there Is no material differ
y ence in their views upon the polit
y cal issues of the campaign, and til
Is contest will likely be settled in a.
y eordance with the fairness and jus
ness Of the claifs for reeognitio
II presented by each candidate. If
1t does, Judge Lancaster will have n
i trouble in establishing his priC
" right to stand as the Panhandle
