Gov. Roland Hartley

Gov. Roland Hartley deserves
credit for the enemies he has made
during his term In office. The
very people who so earnestly urged
his selection instead of Louis Hart
are the ones who for several months
have been raising the roof off the
house to get him out or at least
to embarrass him in the perform
ance of his public duty as much
as they could. Hartley knows too
much about the timber trust and
other combinations native to the
state who fatten when corrupt
governor occupies the chair. Had
the governor fallen for the same
old stuff, he would be alright with
them today.

Expect Districts
viii Make Change

Confidence that the San Benito,
Harrington, La Feria and santa Maria
water districts woold take immediate
action toward conversion into water
control and improvement districts.
was expressed today by County Judge
Dancy.
IF the sentiment expressed by the
~tax-paying citizens of Drainage Dis
trict No. I represents the citizenship
Of the county. there will be no diff
ficulty in having the necessary
changes made in all the water dis
tricts which have not already been
converted into water control and i'm
provement districts" Judge Dancy
said.
Approval OF the third million Of
Cameron county's $4,000. 900 road
bond issue. cannot be secured from
the bond attorneys until the four
districts have changed their form.
and Judge Dancy asserts that fail
ure to make the change would result
in abandonment Of the county's road
program for a year at least. II is
understood that the boards OF direc-
tors Of the four districts will take
the matter up at an early date, and
Judge Dancy expressed confidence in
securing favorable action.

The car containing the two boys

The building being erected has

declared.
Following the accident he issued
a warning TO all motorists TO pull

With all the new pieces of ap-
parstus in operation inside the city,
there will be no telling which di-

driving in the face Of the sirens
will be four times as dangerous

At least two of the new bumpers
will answer every alarm, and very
probably the new hook and ladder
wagon. he said. These together
with the cars Of the police depart
ment, the electricians car ard that
driven by the chief himself will
make driving very dangerous dur

Houston and Chicago, however. con-
tend hat their cities would receive

As talA Of and for candidates de-
developed a wide stream Of sentiment
for Governor Smith of New York,
there were indications hat the key
note of harmony does not echo in
full to-e from all branches Of the
party's leadership. They came in the
reports OF intentions OF some com
mit;eemen 10 move for a change in
the system BY which the committee
chairman is selected once in four
years.
The reports followed others that
the chairman, Glenn l.. Shaver Of
West Virginia. would resign. Shaver's
denial vent the rounds with gossip
that some delegates had considered
a campaign to remove him from Of
flee but had dropped II in the in
terest Of harmony. The reorganiza-
tion discussion grew out Of the on
tention that the present committee
has been OILY nominally active. The
proposed new plan would have the
committee elect its chairman. his
term expiring Jan. ! OF the National
election year instead Of having him
designated by the party nominee for
president.
Another phase Of the discussion
was the attack Of Mrs, Shaver. the
chairman's wife, upon Governor
Smith before the Democratic Won
ems Law Enforcement League. Chair
nan Shaver declined 10 comment on
the incident beyond stating that his
wife spoke only for herself.
Still another morsel for specula-
tion was William G.. McAdoo's dis
closure last night that he had not
pledged himself TO refrain from
commenting on the candidacy of
Smith in his address 70 the Jackson
diners tonight. The mar who in
1924 was Smiths chief convention
contender declined. however. to indi-
cate the nature Of the speech he will
make. except to say that he would
give his views on the rarty's opti-
mistic outlook.

One of Capt. Hooper's assistants, Lieut..
