Three run rallies in the fifth and
sixth innings after the Newmatics
had come from behind 10 estab-
fish a to 8 lead in the first half
of the fifth gave the Landers team
a victory over the Machine Shop.
The game was u free hitting AZ
fair and the verdict was in doubt
until the final batter was out due
to the numerous hitting spurts OF
each team.
Frank hester had the edge on
Ernie Anderson but the former was
given the benefit of better support
ana this aided him considerly in
gaining his victory. He experienced
one bad inning that being the fifth
when the losers got to him for four
hits which coupled with pass gave
Newnatics four runs
Anderson was the victim of in
different support by Richtmeyer in
the opening inning which caused
him TO get off to poor start With
one out Preisser drove long fly
TO Richtmeyer IN center and the lat
ter after misjudging it and falling
down was very slow in retrieving
the ball and Preisser reached third.
few moments later Joe Fitzpatrick
sent Il liner to right center which
Richtmeyer handled poorly and al
lowed Fitzpatrick to reach third. At
this point Richtmeyer was removed
from the game by Manager Lehman
of the NeWmaticS.

~ : rres;dart;.I vear in 1908. The late James G. Me-
Nealus then was ser tetary of the democratic state ex-
.cutive COMMITTEES. The party, in pursuance Of its
ancient custom. pad nominated its candidates for
presidential electers in a convention which had select
ed delegates to tie national convention at Denver. but
Mr.. McNealus bought it to the attention of the COM
mittee that the Terrell election law had changed the
situation, and that these nominations would be in
valid. The Terrell election Law then and yet provides
that
"The name OF no candidate Of any political party
that cast 100000 votes or more at the last preceding
general election shall be printed on any official ballot
for a general election unless nominated by primary
election. on primary election day. except as herein
otherwise provided"
Mr.. McNealus called attention to court decisions
holding that presidential electors are state officers
and therefore fall within the provision above quoted
The committee believed that at least it would be
unsafe to rely upon the nominations Of electors already
made, and therefore put the names Of the electoral can
didates on the primary election ballot, and afterward,
when the nominations had been confirmed, reported
them as the nominees of the primary election. That
practice was continued for q number Of years, but il
1924 the democratic party nominated its electoral ticke;
in the May invention. and did not place them upon
the primary ballot. The republican party, which in
that year also held a primary election, did likewise
Both Of these parties got by with the convention nom
nation, but in that year there was no occasion for 4
contest.
The matter is here referred to simply because II
is of interest to consider that if this practice had been
continued il would be futile to contend that the voter
in a primary election Is not pledged to support the
presidential nominee.

Political Inconsistencies

Eastern republicans are anxiously awaiting a state
ment from Mr.. Hoover relative to his stand on the
prohibition question, and western republican leaders
are insisting that prohibition must not be injected
into the campaign. While awaiting announcements
from official sources the eastern republican press IS
painting Hoover as wet as possible, which is proving
rather embarrassing to southern leaders who are labor
ing to bring the south into the republican column vis
the prohibition route.
Many of the eastern republican papers, especially
the New York Herald Tribune and others Of decidedly
wet leanings, are insisting that Hoover be proclaimed
in what in southern parlance would be termed wiring
ing wet" asserting that such pronouncement on the
prohibition question is necessary TO carry the eastern
and northern states. They indicate that any effort to
camouflage the issue for the benefit Of the south will
result in party defeat. Southern republicans indicate
they are well satisfied with the situation and are
counseling a "Soft pedal" on prohibition, intimating
they may be able 10 capture enough southern states to
offset losses which may accrue to the party in the
east.
If Hoover follows the advice Of eastern leaders,
which is in direct opposition to that Of southern lead
ers, a very embarrassing situation will be created COR
some Of the southern politicians who are seeking to
align the south with the republican party. And in the
event the republican standard bearer takes a decided
stand in opposition to modification in any form, there
by making prohibition an active party issue, the east
en and northern leaders will be placed in an equally
embarrassing position.
The prediction BY political observers prior to the
national conventions that prohibition would submerge
all other issues in the presidential campaign, despite
efforts Of leaders Of both parties to keep it in the
background, will evidently be fulfilled. Party lines
in both the south and east are rapidly disappearing
before the onslaughts OF the opposing forces, and q
more chaotic condition than has existed in national
politics since the free silver campaign Of 1926 is ex-
pected to result.

The World and All
POLITICS
By Charles p. Driseon

Americans are talking politics now. or what passes
for politics. / have promised my readers that I am
not going TO talk politics at all in 1928. Some Of my
readers have expressed mild Joy that they can be sure
Of one column in the paper where there will be 90
politics. Som have expressed regret that ! have de-
cided to deny them the pleasure Of seeing me put my
foot into a trap.
But the fact is, I take almost no interest in politics
as it is talked. Now, the science Of politics-thats
something else again, and very interesting indeed. Bat
there is no relation at all between the science Of poll
tics and the talk one hears before elections in American
towns.
For instance, there is no occasion to become angry
when discussing politics. There is nothing to be
angry about, any more than there is in a discussion Of
right-angled t~rangles or the procession Of the equi-
noxes.
But when we talk about the personal qualities Of
this or that candidate for a public job, Of course there
is an occasional row, and a head is broken or a friend
ship ruined. The men you hear abusing one another
in the street Cr At the factory are not talking politics.
They are fighting over the alcoholic content of beer,
or they are talking about scandals in the lives Of de-
ceased presidents. Such fighting is what most Of US
accept as talking politics"
Not long ago. / heard a fairly intelligent man say
to a roomful of fairly intelligent men, well. any
body that doesn't vote for him is a fool!"
The speaker was referring to his favorite andidate
Tor the presidency. what a statement TO makef il
would seem that talking politics" causes many Of US
to lose our wits altogether.
During the next three or four months those Of US
who want to keep cool and live in peace will have to
be careful what subjects We discuss in the presence
of our friends. The most extraneous SUBJECTS imagin-
able are endowed with some sort of relationship 20
what people in presidential years call politics.
II win be dangerous to express an opinion on such
engineering projects as Muscle Shoals and Boulder
Dam, for instance. unless you are prepared to Launch
into heated political discussion. IL will be socially in
%expedient to mention agriculture and the current con
dition of American farmers, because someone may rear
up and offer to fight on the ground that all that :
properly covered in his favorite platform.
There are many matters of history, thousands Of
years old, that you cannot mention in mixed company
this summer. It's a political year. and we think we
are talking politics.

The Congressional Campaign

The old axioms that many persons are unapprecia-
tive of public service and that any man who possesses
sufficient lung power can secure a following, are ex-
~emplified in connection with the campaign being waged
in the Fifteenth district against Congressman John y.
Garner.
While the campaign conducted By the opponent Of
the veteran congressman has been extremely ~vocifer-
Gus and punctuated with charges and assertions which
are more or less without foundation in fact, the sup
porters Of Congressman Garner are not worried over
the result. They realize that any man who wages a
campaign Of criticism can always secure some follow
ing, regardless Of whether such criticism is construc-
tive or destructive. In fact, Texas politics have bred
many politicians Of that caliber, but fortunately for the
state the common sense Of the majority almost inva-
riably prevails and such candidates are generally rele-
gated to the political scrap heap where they belong.
The great majority of voters Of the Fifteenth dis
trict are fully appreciative Of the services Congress-
man Garner has rendered and are anxious to retain
him. They have not expected him to do the impossible.
They are sufficiently intelligent TO realize that q rep
resentatives who has acquired the power and prestige
that attaches TO over a quarter Of a century Of con-
tiruous service is invaluable to any congressional dis.
trict. This is particularly true where a district has
been so fortunate as to secure and maintain in office
a man Of Mr.. Gamers qualifications and personality.
who has gained for himself the friendship and esteem
Of his colleagues and the sincere respect Of the entire
nation.
Congressman Thomas L. Blanton, now a candidate
for U. S. senator. on the occasion of his recent trip 20
Brownsville in behalf of his candidacy, departed from
the usual custom Of candidates and dipped in" on
the congressional campaign. "To defeat Congressman
Garner would be a national catastrophe" was the COM
ment Of the Abilene congressman, who has often been
at odds with Garner in reference to national legisla-
ton. "We have not always agreed" Mr.. Blanton said,
"but i wish to go on record as stating that the agri-
cultural industry Of the nation. and South Texas in
particular, has no truer friend than John ~. Garner"
Mr.. Blanton was merely reflecting the sentiments
Of practically every member of both the house and
senate, democrat or republican, all Of whom recognize
the ability, sterling honesty and unselfish purpose Of
the veteran from Texas. No man in national life to-
day has won the friendship Of political friends and
foes 70 a greater degree than Congressman Garner, and
the voters of the Fifteenth district will prove on July
2s how sincerely they appreciate the privilege Of hav-
ing a man Of his caliber represent them.
