not plans had been perfected for taking
care OF the 100000 in notes due on MAY
Is. Neither would he say whether or not
the financial condition OF tho road would

FRIDAY, APRIL 3. 1914.
For Governor
THOMAS ii. BALL.


The anti faction IF the Democratic
party, now describing itself as 'construc-
tive Democrat. is composed Of MANY
honest men, and many clear headed men.
When they declare they wan political
peace and political unity and the retire
ment Of the prohibition issue. especially
in the choice of a Governor, we may not
doubt that these ideas represent some
thing better than a political strategcm
docking to the defeat If prohibition.
Many Of the men who make the profcs.
eions are sincere enough. Under the cir
Cumstances, therefore. il il not unreason-
able to hope they may all unite in sup
port Of Colonel Ball. There seems 10 be-
among all parties. pros and ants. a con
yiction that Colonel Ball is both an able
and a Trustworthy man. and a man who
can be expected 10 give the people a
sound. business administration. While
n prohibtionist by conviction. he is also
a Texas Democratof liberal spirit. who
will give us n broad. constructive. pro
gressive administration
We trust IL is neither absurd nor nm
reasonable to hope that the "construc-
tives,' when they meet at Fort Worth
Will endorse Colonel Ball as Democratic
nominee for Governor Of Texas. That
does not necessarily imply IN endorse
meRt of Statewide prohibition. on their
part, but an endorsement Of the broad.
liberal program already announced by
Colonel Ball. If that program really
meets the views f the delegates in<hc
convention. that is the certain way Ia
have their wishes carried into effect -
far as their wishes depend on the Gov
ernor. Here is an opportunity to secure
the realization of their cherished desires.
Over that opportunity hoyers the white
winged dove Of political peace. The dove
of political peace is "A most rare, unique
and beautiful specimen Of the dove fam
lily. Let us throw the salt of harmony
on his tai and nab him. II is a bird that
is happy in captivity and eats u of
The hands Of it's captors.
