unsatisfactory. OF course, It was
pointed out, during the fair weather of
the Spring and Fall the men use the
equipment on the training vessels. But
during the Summer they have nothing
to train with, as the vessel is at sea
practically the whole Summer, and
when in port 1t Is only short period
at the end OF one cruise, when prepara-
tions are being made to take out other
contingents.
It Is estimated 1t will be the middle
Of April before the new training ship
the U. S. destroyer Abel P. Upshur. will
arrive here for duty as training ship
She is being fitted out at the Philadel-
phia Navy Yard, where she has been
out of commission for some time. and
there Is so much work to be done or
her that the original date Of compile
tion had to be put off.
However. Comdr. Mark L. Hersey
u. S. NJ, inspector instructor of the
local battalion and commander Of the
Upshur, said that when completed she
will be in excellent condition. and both
officers and men will be more comfort
able during their annual cruises thar
they were on the Allen. the former
training ship, which has been taken tc
Philadelphia and placed out OF COM
mission.
Special facilities are being built
aboard her for the purpose of handling
the unusually large number Of officers
and men who make applications to
take the cruises. She will accommo-
date Is officers and 140 men on each
cruise, 1t was said. In addition to the
local reservists, the officers and mer
from Baltimore, Md. also come tc
Washington to board her to take their
annual tours of training duty.
While waiting for the arrival OF the
UpShur the officers are making up their
emergency drill and station bills, sc
that little time will be lost in getting
down to work when she does arrive
as each officer and man will know his
particular station and will be able to
20 to 1t as soon as the emergency drill
signal Is given. These station bills will
be the same ones used on the annual
cruises.

The county conventions Tuesday indicate that Texas

The one proposition upon which Texas democrats
are clearly united and for which they will make a
definite stand in the national convention is the pro.
posed dry" plank in the national platform. MANY ~
the counties that did not directly instruct their dele.
cations In this respect, endorsed the Eighteenth
Amendment. directly or indirectly. Upon this pIap.
Texas doubtless will have the support of the solid
South and many Of the Eastern and Western dele
cations.
While the county conventions we're. for the most
part. very harmonious, party leaders predict the usual
fractional wrangling in the state convention. However.
a. all factions, except those which asked for instructed
delegstions, have apparently gotten all they asked for
u will be rather difficult for the factional leaders 70
find a logical basis for factional wranglng at the Beau-

The real leaders of Texas democracy are apparently
determined that Texas will prove the ideal host, and
in this effort they will have the staunch support Of
the great majority OF delegates at the state ccrven-
ton.
