Rep. Cordell Hull Of Tennessee won the demo-
cratic nomination for the office OF United States SEN
ator. He has been in public life many years, he is
widely known the country over. he has many friends
in the southwest and a record that is said to be un-
assailable.
Carter Glass OF Virginia has been renominated for
another term OF six years and this without oppo-
sition on the part Of Virginia democrats. Carter Glass
is a pro Of pros. He is a regular Of regulars. He is
the publisher and editor of a daily newspaper that Is
as fearless as it is free. He is a political landmark
in old Virginia. He was one OF the makers Of the
federal reserve banking act. He has a tongue that
cuts like a razor blade. He never ran away from a
fight in his life. Those who admire him say that he
IS as honest as Paul and long ago they named him
The Virginia Gamecock Of Politics" Bishop James
]. Cannon. Jr. is honeymooning with his bride in
Brazil. Carter Glass Is holding the democratic fort
in Virginia.
Politics is a fascinating game and il there we're
more democrats like Glass it would be a royal game.
Small in stature, wiry in frame, grim in features and
ever with the courage Of the lion-hearted in po-
litical campaigns or legislative battles he never ask
for quarter and never gives It. Fighting ever there
IS no malice in his heart and he is just as human
as a jolly farmer ct a country barbecue.

De Priest. Alonzo Parham was at the academy six
months in 1929. but was dropped from the rolls when
he failed to make the grades In algebra.
An important election will be held in Illinois this
year. De Priest is the leader of Mayor Bill Thomp-
sons black batallions. De Priest is a candidate for
reelection, in the primary campaign for renomina-
ton he had the support Of all the republican lead
ers, including Ruth Hanna Mccormick. who turned
loose several hundred thousands of dollars in order
to bring about the publication of party politics in the
city Of Chicago and the state Of Illinois.
II the brother in black did not vote the republican
ticket in the resting place Of Abraham Lincoln and
Stephen A. Douglas. Illinois would be as reliably
democratic as Arkansas. De Priest is having his own
troubles. His West Point and Annapolis nomina-
tons are given the acid tests and then they fail TO
register. High blood pressure is assigned as the
principal cause.

Recall petitions aimed at Mayor Walter Dean and
most Of the departmental heads Of the Oklahoma
City government are in circulation. Cause Of the
row? Administrative attitude and the question Of
drilling for oil in the city limits. said to be a vital
question since q gusher field was brought in on the
south doorstep OF Oklahoma City.
Oklahoma City officials have steadfastly refused
to extend the drilling zone and have insisted on strict
regulation Of oil development.
For years and years. Oklahoma has been the hot
bed Of politicalisn. political factions, political scan
dals, political flare-ups and political surprises. And
the same may be said Of Texas. Now back to regu-
larity, responsibility, planning and developing, orderly
administration of the affairs of the people, and a
ten-year period devoted to peace and prosperity and
progress. and the punching Of political hell raisers II
punching is necessary following the cleanup. which
is planned to take place in the last battle of the pri-
mary balloting program.

Where Bathless and Blind
COPIED Prizes

Oklahoma is a Unit OF the Great Southwest. Thou
sands Of Osiahcnans are former citizens Of Texas.
Thousands Of the sons ard daughters Of Oklahoma
are the grandchildren Of the Lone Star common
wealth. Texans are Interested in the onward march
OF Oklahoma in an economic sense. They are inter
ested In Oklahoma In a political sense. They are re-
minded that the bathless and the blind copied the
major political prizes in the finals on Aug. IL.
Alfalfa Bill Murray ran like a Wild deer and sent
to the political cemetery a very progressive and
wealthy business man who was his runier-up. Thorn
IS Pryor Gore, born in Mississippi, trained in Texas,
adopted AS n citizen Of Oklahoma won the senatorial
prize. he defeated one of the successful and progress
siYe business men Of the new commonwealth. Thus
ii has happened that the bathless and the blind are
the democratic nominees for governor and United
States senator in a very rich and fast moving Ameri-
can state.
Oklahoma gave It's electoral votes to Harding in
1920. Oklahoma elected a republican senator. Okla
homa elected a republican senator in 1924. Oklaho-
ma gave its electoral votes 70 Hoover ard Curtis in
1923. Now the bathless one and the blind orator are
the Standard bearers Of the party which was founded
by Jefferson and has been running wild In recent
years. All the big newspapers. with one exception,
turned their guns upon William Of alfalfa and no.
bath fame. They said that Oklahoma should 90
forward. AS for the blind orator who served IS years
as an American senator. editorially speaking they
handled him kindly.
Now the war is on In Oklahoma and the November
balloting will tell the story. Springtown is a village
in Parker county. Texas. 1t was at Springtown that
Alfalfa Bill had his early training. There he passed
his boyhood days. He jumped from the farm to the
law office. He saw a future In the Indian territory.
He married an Indian princess. the niece of a for
mer governor OF one OF the leading tribes.
He held many offices. including a seat in the Ameri-
can congress after statehood came TO the two terri
tories. He lost faith in his home country. He es-
tablished an American colony in Bolivia. South
America. He found II hell instead Of a Utopia. He
made his way back to his adopted state. Now he is
a candidate Of the bathlesS for governor of a proud
commonwealth while Thomas Pryor Gore. who led
the populists in Texas in by-gone days. hopes that
he is on the way to his old place in the senate of the
United States.
Politics makes strange bedfellows. Popular upheav-
ais make and unmake political idols. Oklahoma has
a primary election system. In other years. since the
adoption of the system, a plurality won the nomina-
ton. Then the law was changed. Now It requires
a majority-or run-off election. Bathless Bill made
the grade. Springtown Is on the map. Yes, the bal
Tot IS the thing" but how?

A survey Of the meat producing states Of the union
reported by E.. w. Sheets Of the United STATES de-
partment of agriculture disclosed that the drouth has
resulted in SO much livestock being thrown on the
market for slaughter that the American dollar buys
more meat now thar at any time in the past IL
years"
All this is a reminder that a powerful ministerial
association in the city OF Louisville broadcast the
news that the drouth had been sent by the Lord to
punish the American people for their sins.
If so. the livestock producers must be the sinners
and as a reward for their righteousness the house
wives are given the cheapest beefsteats that have
been passed out by the butchers since 1918.
