Dear Sir: We ask you to read and

of Democratic duty and the States
welfare.
"As good Democrat and a good
citizen we cannot believe the two lead
ing candidates for Governor now Of

bition and for perpetuation of the
strife that has paralyzed the construc-

years, has crippled its institutions and
made the administration OF its depart
ments affairs of reproach. IL not a
disgrace; the other presenting as his
paramount issue a proposal for land
rentals that is the beginning of the
depreciation of all real estate values
and, at its best IS silly remedy for
the great economic evil of an increas-
ing tenantry.
"We people of Texas demand wiser
craftsmanship and a more practical
solution of the farm problem than
these gentlemen offer. The Demo-
cratic party demands prompt and he

Tight ere he died.
