HATCHER Will
SEEK HIGHEST
TEXAS OFFICE
State Treasurer An
nounces Candidacy
For Governor; Tells
Of Platform Plans

DALLAS, Tex, July 25.-(R)-
Gregory Hatcher, state treasurer
today announced his candidacy for
governor.
In response to the urging OF
friends and admirers throughout
Texas, and to what 1 believe to be
a public necessity for someone to
be elected to the office who is not
afraid to speak out in the cause Of
the people - the great common
head, if I may be pardoned for
that term-I make public an
nouncement Of my candidacy as a
candidate for governor subject to
the 1880 democratic primaries,
said Mr.. Hatcher's prepared state
ment.
Points Out Issues
1T has been a rule Of my life to
strike at wrong, whenever and
wherever I have seen it, and to de-
fend right in the front line trenches
and it may be that I can now best
serve my maker and my state by
making this fight from high places
that Of course to be determined
by the voters"
He said he would point out what
he believed to be the issues Of the
campaign and his attitude on each,
but not until after completion Of
his year as worthy grand patron
Of the grand chapter Of Texas, Or
der of the Eastern Star, Oct. 25,
would he make an active campaign.
He intended to take his campaign
first to "the boys at the forks Of
the creek" and then to the larger
cities.
He did say, however, he believed
reducing the cost Of the govern
ment ''is and ought to be the para
mount issue.
IF elected governor I promise the
people that it shall be lowered from
$50,000,000, the cost for the past
two years, to about $40000,000, the
amount spent under the Pat Neff
and Ma Ferguson administrations
saving of $10,000,000 compared
with the past two years and fifteen
to twenty millions if the program
now contemplated goes into effect
Opposes Chain Banks
AS an aid to such program he
promised reduction of the cost Of
running departments whose heads
were appointed by the governor.
Chain banking will be another
issue in the campaign" he said. i
am opposed to it and will not ap-
point as commissioner of banking
any man who will feed the small
banks of Texas to the chains Also
I will reduce the number Of fail
ures of state banks in Texas by al
least half and the expense Of run
ming the state banking department
by half"

At 17:17 p. m. &C. S. TD the fliers
completed 293 hours in the air and
had exceeded the former worlds en-
durance mark by 46 hours, or nearly
two days.
O'Brine inquired in message as
to the progress being made by the
Houston, Texas, endurance plane,
Billion Dollar City," now well up to-
ward the 20O-hour mark, and
added:
"You know we can't land with
them up; they might pass us, and
that will never do"
Motor Feeling Fine"
"Our motor sure is feeling good
this morning." wrote Jackson in a
note addressed to P. v. Shorty
Chaffee and G. Ray Wassal, refuel-
ing crew for the endurance plane.
Just like a race horse" he added.
1T wants to run away every chance
it gets; can hardly hold it down.
O'Brine is singing his usual morn
ing song. I'm sure in fine place be-
tween the motor and O'Brine. Can't
tell who makes the most noise but
you can tell them apart as O'Brine
has more vibration at high speed.
I know now why the tail surface
shakes"
Jackson gave a demonstration Of
his skill as a pilot while sending
down the morning order for gaso-
line, oil and breakfast. The plane
swooped low over the field and then
climbed a bit in a double bank as
the cylinder bearing the order fell
a short distance from the flight
headquarters tent.
Seeing his wife and Mrs. O'Brine
in front of the tent, Red" turned
the plane sharply, clearing the
wind vane of a hangar about fifty
feet and then waved a CHEEKY greet
ing for himself and his companion,
who was asleep, as the plane again
passed low over the tent.
Only the wearing out of the mo-
tor will cause Jackson and O'Brine
to descend from the atmosphere
which has been their home for ap-
proximately II days and which has
brought them at least temporary
fame as the pair who set new en-

Connally Predicts
Anti Trust Problem

WASHINGTON, July 25.-(Py-
Charging the antitrust laws have
not been enforced, Senator Con-
nally, democrat, Texas, predicted
today congress would be forced to
approach the problem of mergers
and consultations from a new
angle.
He declared the formation of
monopolieS dealing in the necessities
of life constitute a menace to the in
dustrial freedom Of the country" and
that it is "a problem congress must
meet"
THE antitrust laws have not
been enforced" he said. Under the
last administration, the department
Of justice seemed either in sympathy
with or Indifferent to these great
consultations. 1t may be because
through development of modern
methods of financing and pryamid-
ing Of holding companies, the law is
not adequate to meet present condi-
tions."

CALL MEETING
AT HARLINCEN
NEXT MONDAY
Growers From All Ov-

Attend; Action Is
Urged
lSnecial to The Heraldl


HARLINGEN, July 25.-Demand
for a more extensive citrus quaran-
tine against the MoreloS fruit fly
and the tightening up Of regulations
affecting entrance of citrus into
Texas is expected to result from a
mass meeting called Thursday to be
held at the city hall here Monday
night.
The meeting has been called on the
instance Of the committee which at
tended the Laredo conference at
which train schedule changes, which
would have assertedly affected the
citrus situation, were discussed. The
committee reported that changes in
the plans will be made to satisfy the
Valley. 1t is thought probable that
two cars will be allowed to enter the
United States without inspection at
the border, but inspectors will board
these cars and make thorough in
SpectiOn en- route.
The committee will make its Of
ficial report to the meeting Monday
night, which is expected to be at
tended by citrus growers and ship
pers from all over the Valley.
Suggestions will be made to the
meeting that the citrus growers of
the Valley demand an extension of
the quarantine as far as Ell Paso to
the west and as far north in Texas
as citrus is grown, probably to the
Winter Garden district near San
Antonio.
Members of the committee report
ed that at Laredo they found ripe
fruit on trees and decaying fruit in
orchards, which, they declared, Of
fer an ideal host for the Morelos fly.
These same orchards would prove a
great menace to the Valley In the
event of an infestation of the Med
iterranean fruit fly.
The committee which attended
the Laredo meeting included Myron
F. Ward, secretary of the Harlingen
chamber Of commerce; L. E. Snavely
of Harlingen: j. B. Ramsey, La
Feria; and Whit Rogers, McAllen.

sky was clear but about 80 miles
out they ran into murky elements.
Other schooners on the fishing
banks returned but the Captain
Wallace Reed" was too far to turn
back.
The squall continued through
out Monday afternoon. The craft
kept on its way to the Nicaragua
bank, about so miles out in the
gulf, however. The elements abat-
ed about 8 p. m. but increased In
intensity later. Water poured over
the sides and the pumps had to be
kept going. The anchor failed to
hold and the schooner was tossed
about as lightning flashed and
rain poured in torrents. Finally
the anchor caught on a coral reef
and held.
Tuesday the wind calmed a bit
but another squall broke in the
morning that lasted almost all
