DEFEAT
IN TEXAS
Lone Star State Turns to Real Issues
And Drops Political Fads.

On July 9th the voters of Texas
were called upon to decide, at the pri
mary election, two important ques-
lions. Important for the State and
important for the Nation Primary
candidates for the Governorship were
voted on, and also the question as to
the submission of a prohibition amend
ment to the State Constitution.
It is not surprising to learn that
the citizens of the Lone Star State
took time to vote on these important
C. ..estions, nor is the result of their
ballot-casting a cause of wonderment.
There were three gubernatorial
candidates-but the real race was be-
tween Thomas H. Hall, one Of the big
Democrats of the South, and Mr..
James E. Ferguson, successful
business man, but not so well known
throughout the State as Mr.. Ball.
Mr.. Ferguson won over Mr.. Ball by a
majority of 3S,S25 votes. He had a
plurality of over $4,000. Mr.. Fergu-
son made the announcement many
times during the campaign, that,
should he be elected Governor, he
would veto every piece of prohibition
and liquor legislation that came to
him. Evidently the Texans believed
him-and agreed with him. The
The copper era and Morenci leader., 1914-10-30

voters had opportunity to say at the
polls whether the whole State should
be dry.
The election was held in 1911 and re-
suited in the defeat of the prohibition
amendment by majority Of 6,2S7.
Anent the ''political-preacherT the
Farmers Union said in its message
to the voters of the State of Texas:
"A preacher who graduates from the
pulpit into politics becomes a menace
to. good government, and likewise a
politician who occupies the pulpit de-
bauches the church and becomes a
menace to religion. These occupations
VIII not blend. No free government
can long exist or the church perform
its missin t sciety when preachers
and politicians temporarily exchange
callfngs
We think it is as immoral for a
preacher to seek to lobby while he
prays as it would be for him to gamble
while he breaches.
There never was a time when
preachers and politicians formed an
unholy alliance that civilization did
not shrek out and Christianity cry
aloud.

Washington Herald of July 28th com
menting upon the result says:
Thomas H. Ball is one of the
| big Democrats in Texas but he was
beaten at the Democratic primaries
last Saturday by a man who had never
been In politics, who had never been
candidate for anything, is only a
country banker, and a few weeks ago
was unknown outside his own neigh
borhood.
"Mr. Balls brilliant record in
Congress, the support of the admins
tratiou, his reputation as a great law
his personal popularity were not
enough to save him from overwhelm-
ing defeat by an unknown country
banker, because he was handicapped
with the same prohibition hysteria
which Underwood had cured in Ala
bamd.
.'Mr. Ferguson, the successful can
didate, expressed the opinion that
Texas, had had too much discussion
of the liquor question, that too much
talk about liquor was almost as bad
las too much liquor, that the agitation
about prohibition had sidetracked all
real political issues and prevented the
Democratic party from setting a num-
Der of grave questions in which the
people were seriously interested, and
which must be settled to insure the
prosperity and tranquility of the State.
He would have known of it. He would
leave to individual citizens all ques-
lions of purity, morals, and religion,
aEG to the various communities the
regulation of the liquor traffic, but he
was opposed to dragging it into State
and national campaigns, because in
DG 49,
question could not help settle the land
question which is a live issue in Texas,
or the question of taxation and the in
teliigent administrator of the affairs
of more than four millions of busy peo-
Pile.
''The Democrats of Texas seem to
have agreed with Mr.. Ferguson, and
decided to drop hysteria and get down
to business. Texas is now the fifth
State in the Union in population,
ranking along with New York, Penn

has poured into Texas from the North

THE FARMERS DREAM.

Last evening l was talking
 With a farmer aged and gray, Who told me of a dream he had Just after Christmas Day. While sleeping in his cottage
 The vision came to view He saw an angel enter, dressed Tn garments white and new. Said the Spirit, "I'm from heaven; The Lord just sent me down To bring you up in glory
 Put on your golden crown. Many merchants you've made richer From few received full pay; While you've grown poar and poar, Your business did decay. "So We need you up in glory,
 For you have labored hard Until your brow is hoary-
 You've earned great reward" :" Then the angel and the farmer Started toward the golden gate, But when passing close to hades The angel murmurSd, wait Here's a nook l wish to show you, It's the hottest place in hell, Where the dubs who beat the farmer In awful torment dwell The farmer saw before him
 Old patrons by the score, An easy chair and fan he grabbed And asked for nothing more. He sat and sat and watched them; Saw them sizzle, scorch and burn, And his farmer debtors saw him, Whichever way he turned. Said the angel, Come up higher, And the pearly gates we'll see, But the farmer only answered, This is heaven enough for me!'
