CoLQU|TT'S RECORD

For nineteen years o. B. Colquitt has
been before the people of Texas as a
seeker of public office and as an office
holder. Twice during this time he has
been candidate for governor OF Texas
In both of these elections his candidacy
was repudiated by large majority of the
democratic voters of his home county of
Kaufman, where he has resided for many
years, and his nomination was secured
through minority of the democrats of
Texas.
Colquitt vetoed an appropriation for the
A. & nj. College of $4,000 for addition
to the steam, electric, water and power
plant, thus leaving the college without
adequate fire protection, as has been DEM
onstrated by the disastrous fires which
have since occurred at this place. He also
vetoed an appropriation of 100000 for an
animal husbandry building, and of $4,000
for plumbing and wiring. blouse journal

ture, Vol. l, p. 675)
Governor Colquitt also vetoed an appro-
priation OF $131,545 for the support and
maintenance of the State University
(house journal first called session Thirty
second Legislature, page 675), as a result
of which 1t has been necessary TO erect
on the campus of that institution num-
Der of temporary wooden shacks TO meet
the growing demands of that institution.
The Thirty-second Legislature also
passed an act providing for the location
and establishment of a normal school at
Waco on the condition that the citizens
of that city raise and contribute the sum
of 100000 to build and equip IT, The

appointed to this position at the request
OF many OF the ex-Confederate camps OF
Texas, and having previously served as
pension clerk at the comptroller's Office.
ms term OF office did not expire until
June, 1911. One of Colquitt's first acts as
governor, however, after taking charge
OF his Office in January, was to announce
the appointment of r. A Buford. young
man. less than thirty years of age, to this
position, forcing the retirement of Cap
tain Bolmes- Colquitt now claims Captain
Bolmes was not an applicant for the APP
pointment, but this statement is denied
by Captain Bolmes in an open letter adj
dressed TO Governor Colquitt published in
the Dallas News June s, 1911, in which
he states that he was an applicant, and
that his application had been filed with
Colquitt, who had acknowledged its re-
ceipt.
The constitution provides that the gov
ernor shall be elected every two years
An election means either the exercise
by the people of their right to choose
their own officers. or 1t means nothing.

elected governor OF this state for one
term, there is an obligation on a good
citizen as democrat to- vote for him.

is to nullify the constitution and make
the election for second term farce.
The people Of this state have not recog-
nized that there was any sacredness to a
first ERIN or any obligation on the people
to elect a man to a second term.
Governor Runnels defeated Governor
Sam Houston for the governorship. At
the succeeding election the people of the
state elected Sam Houston over Governor
Runnels.

given being that il carried a charge or

an act increasing the scholastic age from

Colquitt. (Senate journal Thirty-second
Legislature, page 1224)
In his first message to the Thirty
ond Legislature, as governor, Colquitt ad-
vocated the abolition of the state school
tax, using the following language: II be-
lieve, however, that change in our Or
ganic law should be made so as to allow
the collection of county tax for school
purposes in lieu of the state tax (See

AS governor, one of Colquitt's first steps
was to remove the entire board of regents
of the State University, with one excep-
ton. to provide. places for his partisans,
an act unprecedented in the history of
our state.
He next caused the removal of Prof
II. G. Harris from the position of princi-
pal of the Southwestern Normal School
of San Marcos, refusing to give any rea-
of Office into our school affairs.
As state senator in 1895, Colquitt vigor-
ously opposed increasing the general state
school tax, which was advocated at that
time, in order TO give the people of the
state constitutional term of six months
