LEwEILIyG wITHDRAws.

Dwight Lewelling. candidate for
governor. announced to the Demo-
cratic state convention yesterday his
withdrawal from the race IN favor
OF Pat N. Neff OF Waco.
The News, for weeks past. has ar
.ued. that while all four OF the can
didates opposed TO Joe Bailey were
sood men and true. the strongest by
far OF the quartette Is Neff. We
ave held that Netf is the man whom
Bailey must defeat II he expects 20
Ne the next governor. And there
fore. we have urged those who favor
clean government, for Texas together
with progressive policies. to support
Mr.. Neff in preference TO the other
three in order to give him power in
the July primaries and a psychology
cal advantage for the second primary
IN event Messrs. Lewelline. Thorn
ason or Looney decided to remain in
the race TO the close. For beyond
he shadow OF a doubt. II there Is 20
be n second primary. the run off will
be between Neff and Bailey.
AS this Is written. we have not
earned the reasons advanced by Mr..
Lewelling for his action. But I'M
doubtedly he Is strongly In favor OF
he Waco man as the logical candi-
hate TO defeat Bailey. Undoubtedly
Ills reasons for urging others to vote
.or Mr. Neff are not materially dif-
ierent from the stand which The
News has taken.
Mcssrs. Thomason and Looney
however, remain as candidates OBJ
posed 10 Mr.. Nefi. II is generally
conceded everywhere that at this
luncture Neff has a good lead over
III candidates In the field. While II
Is earnestly hoped. for the sake OF
living Joe Bailey the defeat he de-
crves In a single primary. that both
hese other candidates will withdraw
before the July primaries. there Is
aothing as yet TO Indicate that they
will.
We therefore. In spite Of the fact
hat we have only good words to say
FOR both Thomason and Looney. con.
tinue 10 hope. for the sake OF IN,
Democratic party, that the people will
rive Neff their full support on july
