/ ~ last week, Col. Thomas H. Ball
/ L A of Houston, is the choice of the
prohibition Democrats for governor Col
/ Ball will be remembered by many ri
/ Pasoaus who heard him speak here in
behalf of the prohibition amendment in
! 1911. He is a man of big attachments.
! of high character and of multitude of
/ loyal friends.
This selection by the pros is exceed
| inglv fortunate for the state, when con-
/ sidered in a broader sense than the pro-
/ hibitiOn question, for it means the return
to big men for governors, Tom Ball
viii either be elected himself, or by his
candidacy force the selection of a big,
clean man of principle BY the ants.
x
What a great thing it would be for
Texas if the ants could induce pOstmas-
ter general BurlesOn to enter the race.
He IS head and shoulders the biggest
anti in Texas. He is big man, with a
record true to the people. He would
make a, governor of Texas to be proud
of. If the ants expect to be IN the
running against Tom Ball they must
forget their reaetionary leaders and turn
to the Burleson type.

It is a safe political assertion that
the next governor of Texas, whether pro
or anti. viii be a man IN sympathy with
the Wilson administration Why not?
The president represents all that is good
in Democracy. He has united the party
and the united party under his leader
ship has accomplished more IN one year
than any other political party ever &C
comDlished during a full term. The
tariff was changed from the upright
eOus basis of special privilege to the
few to the sound standard of equal
rights to all. In spite Of mOanful
prophesies by those who were benefited
under the old system, the change IN
tariff from unfairness to fairness was
accomplished without a ripple on the
commercial surface.
The currency, more important even
than the tariff, had been n subject o.
utter confusion to the average mind.
The bankers. who naturally should have
understood the situation best, talked IN
riddles Too many Old-line politicians
adopted the riddles Of the bankers, and
the confusion spread. The great New
York bankers were alarmed at the
thought of a secretary of the treasury
having views upon finance, and flew
a fit at the suggestion that govern
ment officials should be given power
over currency.
Mr.. VanderliD. of the National City
bank, IN his dread OF politicians IN
finance, utterly lost sight of the fact
that the biggest bank in the United
States in making him its president had
gone to the treasury department IN
Washington to get him. II a former
assistant secretary of the treasury was
the best material in the country for
president CT the biggest New York bank
why shouldn't secretary of the treas
ury and a government board be entrust-
ed with authority over the currency
system? All of which illustrates the

"rhe history Of New Haven is the his

has swept over this square. The Green
has been a political and civic forum. a

it to its original purpose.
