A described in q dispatch from Austin. Senator
Loves measure provides that no party pledge shall bind
a voter. that no one shall have the power to order the
name Of q candidate omitted from a ballot If the can
didste has complied with the law. Two other bills hsv-
ing ? similar purpose were introduced by Senator Love.
II they should become laws, which j. highly improo-
able, party rule in Texas would be destroyed.
The democratic party Of this state recently passed
through an unfortunate exPericnce-and experience
both so unfortunate and % costly that Texas for the
first time went republican. Senator Love was enc Of
the most prominent boilers from the democratic party
and his proposed legislation j. partly the outcome Of
his own experience in running for the office OF lieu
tenant governor, after nc had announced that he would
not support the national ticket Of the democratic party.
Senator Loves name was left off the democratic bal
lots in several counties and he withdrew from the race
for lieutenant governor.

posed bills to nuliify party government in the state.
1t has never been said in Texas that . man who has
complied with all legal requirements may not run for

office he desires. But it Is asserted. with sound lori..

Compulsory Spraying

The action or the Brownsville Chamber OF Con-
snerce in recommending that city take over the spray
ins of citrus fruit trees within the city limits. espc-
eialiy the sour orange trees, has aroused much inter
est among Valley growers. At a meeting Of growers
N Mercedes Thursday the action Of tho Chamber II
Commerce received unanimous commentator. and the
opinion was expressed that the Brownsville city cou.-
mission would act ~fsyorsbly upon the recommendation.
The cost Of a spraying outfit would he insignificant.
A charge sufficient to cover the cost Of spray mate
rails and operation should be provided. The owner 81
sour orange trees who value them for ornamental pur-
poses wauld welcome the opportunity TO have them
cleaned ~r small cost; the owner who does not care for
his trees would cut thsm doen in preference to paying
spraying costs, small as that cost might be.
Under existing conditions the cost Of spraying Is
high, and IS IL is not compulsory less than 10 per cent
Of the sour orange trees within the city arc sprayed.
The high cost Of spraying Is due to transporting aai
setting up equipment for individual or small groups
Of trees. With the work under the direction Of the
city spraying could be made thorough, much to the
relief Of citrus fruit growers who regard Brownsville
as one Of the plague spots" Of the Valley.
Brownsville residents arc msnifestinx ! Willingness

cleanup Of peach, gusva. plum and other fruit trees

no opposition was voiced by owners of premises upon

Having indicated her readiness 70 cooperate in con
nection with destruction of secondary host fruit trees.
Brownsville should 20 one step further, pass a spray

Nebraska was ono Of the first TO pass a guaranty
law. which was hailed throughout the northwest as a
masterpiece, of legislation. 1t savored some Of the
"populism" of the 90's, but was accepted by the cleo
