These uttersnces, made by Mr..

nor OF Texas. have twice been print
- in the Congressional Record at
the INSTANCE OF republican leaders.
This was cone in order that the in

depreciation 10 be placed on the
above statements is that had Mr..
Colquitt been member OF the SEN
ATE during the past four years he
would have voted against every adj
ministratlon measure that was pro-

pose all constructive legislation that
Is proposed by administration lead
ers. But we do not believe that
the democrats OF Texas are going TO
retire Charlie culberson. man
who has for eighteen years ably
represented Texas IN the worlds
greatest legislative body, and elect
In his place man who is chiefly
known at home aud abroad for his
unceasing opposition to the national

the rankest republican Mr.. Culber-
sons record is clear and clean,
and many of the. best laws now on
the statute books OF both the state
and nation are there largely as a.
result of his efforts. As chairman
Of the senate judiciary committee
Mr.. Culberson handled the Clayton
amendment 70 the anti-trust law,
and for hts able services he received
n letter OF commentator from Pres
ident Wilson. This Is the measure
that Mr.. Colauitt says WAS a bare
sa~ed fake. Mr.. Colquitt points
with pride 10 his record as COVER
nor. and this record includes a prop
usition to declare a moratorium, or
the suspension OF the payment OF
debts. ut the beginning OF the Eu-
ropean war. an attempt to establish
wildcat bank. capitalized with
the school children's money and to
be governed By political appointees
OF the governor; an attempt to have
the legislature pass law prohibit
Ing farmers from planting more than
twenty acres Of cotton on their own
land under penalty of fine OF
$4,000 or imprisonment in the pen
itantiary for five years.
II Mr.. Colauitt BIAS ever had
change OF heart relative to his de-
nunciation Of the Wilson admins
tration he has not made q public
confession and il Is to be assumed
that he Is still the foe of democra-
cy. And yet he has the nerve to
ask the democrats OF Texas to send
him to the United States senate.
We have too much confidence III the
integrity OF the party to believe
that he viii succeed.
