ANTS and BOOZE
LINKED UP AGAIN
Brewers Elected Man Who Tried
TO Defeat Democratic SUI.
frage Plank

The governor of Texas was the
most prominent anti-suffragist In the
United States for one day. That was
the day during the recent Demo
cratic national convention In st
Louis when he presented the min
nority report OF the platform com
the equal suffrage plank from that
document. He declared that woman
should be content to fulfill the func
tidh which God. with the consent OF
man. had given her.
Many persons wondered why the
people OF Texas should elect such
q reactionary to the governorship OF
that big state. The answer Is easy
and II once more links up the ants
and the liquor and brewery interests.
II is charged. and not denied. that
during the gubernatorial campaign
the governor sent an officer OF the
bank In which he is president to
Fort Worth upon two occasions and
both times he returned with $4,000
In currency. which was deposited In
the governors bank for his cam.
paign fund Upon a third occasion
a check signed by firm OF brewers,
and for like sum. was SO deposited.
He has been challenged to deny
these facts and to state why the
cumbersome method OF obtaining
currency instead OF a check was
used In the first two transactions.
The challenge still stands and no
denial has been made.
q After the governors Inauguration
In 1914, the heads OF several Texas
breweries were arrested upon tho
charge Of conspiracy to control cor
ruptly the elections. They pleaded
guilty and paid fine OF 1921. 900
and all costs.
Brewers have the right to pro-
tect their interests, and they are
hard pushed these days. But when
any interest buys votes and men.
when It tempts the weak and CO
joles the rich. when IL conspires to
oyerturn democratic government IA
order TO win it's way. 1t ceases to be
IN interest" and becomes a Grim.
lnal.
The direct connection between the
governor Of Texas and this corrupt
campaign fund, explains the chief
executives action In moving to
strike out woman suffrage from the
Democratic platform. Elected by
the Illegal aid OF a brewers con,
spiracy, he was only seeking to re-
pay his masters.

well, with the election only little
over month away, what do you think
OF the outlook" 1t was a prominent
member of the Democratic party that
was asked this question a few days
ago.
Il am more than pleased with the
outlook In both the state and nation"
was his reply. Then he went on to
state his reasons.
Tho only possible chance that
fuEhes has TO win the national cleo.
zion is by reason OF the vast amount
OF money that certain rich men, the
interests and Wall street will use in
bis cause; but Wilson will poll a won
dsrful popular vote. and / do not think
that. for all the money that is in back
OF him. Hughes can defeat Wilson.
Henry Ford put the finishing
touches on the rantings OF the Re.
Dublicans. When Henry Ford came
out natfooted for Wilson in a state
ment published In the press OF the
nation last week, he knocked the ar.
gument of the Republicans against the
eight-hour day into a cocked-hat, SO
TO speak. Henry Ford is one OF the
keenest business men in the United
States. The eight-hour day has been
used in the Ford factories for over
three years, and business has increas.
cd under II each year. Henry Ford
hit the nail on the head when he
said: The man who kicks against the
sishthour day does not know his own
business.
"And aside from purely business
reasons. Ford said that be is going
to vote for Wilson because Woodrow
II ON to- the interests and is holding
them in check, as was shown by the
fact that he refused 20 rush into a
war with Mexico in order to save the
dollars that Wall street had gambled
