According to the Times, 1.-The crowd

{ HOUSTON, LP)-Jesse II. Jones,
mule driver extraordinary, is recon-
mended by Texas democrats for the
job Of riding the donkey in the presi-
Dental derby next November.
When democrats of the nation come
to Houston June 20 to select a
jockey their Texas hosts will suggest
the right man can DC found in this
city.
II was Jesse Jones who won the
national convention for Houston,
and it was he who built in less than
30 days the huge new hall in which
the delegates will assemble. These
two things he achieved in the spirit
he drove mules on his fathers farm
in Tennessee.
Only two mules were driven By
Jones in his boyhood, and for only
half a day at that. But in that time
he plowed a field which the same
mules with another driver had never
been able to cover n less than two
days.
Jesse Jones still was a boy when
his father died. leaving the farm to
three daughters and ~pequeathing ST.
600 to each of two soIs. The boys
gave the money to their sisters tc
clear the mortgage on the farm and
set out almost penailess on their
careers.
At 20 Jesse got a job as a laborer
in a lumber yard at Dallas. He work
ed in the same spirit he drove mules
and. he became manager Of the yard
at u. Three years later he was gen
eral manager OF the company. Then
he organized a lumber OF
his own. making it the largest in the
Southwest.
The lumber business led him into
building enterprises. The boy who
In half a day became an e~xtraordi-
nary mule driver needed only a few
years to become a master builder.
In Houston alone he has built and
now owns 20 buildings. among them
the Rice hotel, the largest hostelry
in the South.
"A dozen OF the finest office and
theater buildings in Dallas and Fort
Worth are his. New York also i
the scene of his building operations.

Jones IS the principal stakeholder

Inc defeat in the election left the
party facing a large deficit. bur
Jones attacked the problem, and the
party has a surplus on the eve Of
