A light southeast breeze spanked
the catboats along at a fair rate
of speed. 1t was estimated that they
made as high as six and seven miles

HOT CAMPAIGN
SEEN IN 1880
Governors Race Expected
To Be One of Bitterest
In Recent Years

AUSTIN, July 22.-The Texas
governors ace will open early, get
started in high and run to perhaps
one ofthe bitterest campaigns in re-
cent years, according to indications
shaped up by developments in the
legislative session just closing. Sen.
Thomas B. Love, leader Of a fac
ton in the state controversy, will
open Tuesday of the coming week at
Cleburne, and from then on, with
six candidates already in the field,
and others assured. the campaign
is expected to sweep forward in
growing intensity until primary
election day next July. And it has
good prospects Of being a real cam
paign on through to the November
general election, according to long
range forecasters.
Entrance of Sen. Love and Lieut..
Gov. Barry Miller into the govern
or's race, during the past 80 days,
seems to indicate clearly that since
they are opponents Of the two eX-
IRENE points Of view in the Smith
Hoover campaign last year, that the
MGD-uIN . DOlJCL -GAlUl-bOlICAs LII
ACCOMPLISHMENTS, issues Of the
national campaign will furnish fuel
for the governors race.
Sen. Love refused to support
Smith, but voted for all state nom
inees. He is starting his campaign
early. He is the first to open his
appeal to the people.
In this, 1t vas believed he foresees
possible controversy or litigation
over placing his name on the demo-
cratic ballot, in view of the pro-
nouncement Of State Chairman ..
w. Wilcox that those who failed to
vote the ticket all the way down the
line would be disciplined in the next
state election.
Sen. Love last year withdrew from
the lieutenant governors race when
several county committees excluded
his name from the ballot.
The four other candidates who
are also in the field are former
Mayor O. F. Holcombe, Houston;
Rep. T. N. MauritZ Of Ganado, ex-
ponent ofthe state income tax, E. G.
! Senter Of Dallas, c~ourt-reform adj
vocate, and Miss Katie Daffan Of
Ennis. Entrance Of former U. s.
Sen. Earle B. Mayfield is virtually
certain, and former Gov. Pat M.
Neff has announced.
Sen. Loves action in starting his
campaign exactly a year before pri-
mary election day has its precedent
in the race Of former Gov. Neff.
Neff made his opening speech a year
TO the day before the election, and
kept at the campaign every day Of
the year.
Sen. Love already is saying "there
won't be any second primary
100000 dry democrats will vote me
the nomination next July.
Lieut.. Gov. Miller, while announc-
ing he will be a candidate. said he
will not begin his campaign until
after next March, when he retires
from office as state head of the Odd
Fellows lodge.
