Darwin and Parnell Pick Witt

In the July skirmish j. D. Parnel and II. L. Darwin
were contenders for the office Of lieutenant govern
or They piled up two handsome collections Of ballots.
Now they have boarded the witt bandwagon after
advising their friends to vote for the senator from
the McLennan district as the logical successor Of
Lieut.. Gov. Barry Miller.
Sen. Witt and Sterling P. Strong are in the run
off.
Strong ran a remarkable race. He was a pro in
Montague county when pros we're scarce. He is a ma
tive Texan. the son Of a Texas pioneer. In the long
ago. he was state superintendent of the Anti-Saloon
league.
This is a reflection: Governors sometimes die.
According to the Texas statisticians. a Texas gov
ernor hasn't died In office since the beginning Of the
Civil War. This beats the law Of averages all hol-
low.
They die in office in other states, but never in Texas.
Is it possible TO beat the law of averages? Do your
own guessing. PaTnell is a West Texas man. Darwin
Is a North Texan. They are out Of it, passengers IN
the Witt ~bandwagon.

Nicely of West Virginia

Matthew NJ Nicely Of West Virginia won the demo-
cratic senatorial nomination and West Virginia poll
ticians say that he may defeat the republican nomi-
nee In November. Nicely is one Of the ablest lawyers
in West Virginia. He served a term of six years in the
senate and ranked among the real leaders Of his
party. He has reported his campaign expenditures to
the secretary Of state. He spent IA cents, the cost Of
postage on his announcements. No contributions
were accepted by this leader Of the West Virginia
democracy. He wouldn't spend a cent for votes. He
wouldn't spend a cent for publicity. He wouldn't ac-
cept a penny from outside sources. He was drafted
for the place. He is a candidate on merit and quail
fications alone. He should be elected TO the senate,
and after the Lord calls him away his face should be
carved on the tallest mountain crag in the step
daughter state Of Old Virginia.
