Bobbitt and the Election Law

An executive committee Of a political party does
not have the power in Texas to bar any person from
participating in the party primary who voted against
the nominee Of the party at an election after taking
part in the primary conventions and primary cleo
tions Of that party.
This is the substance Of the ruling Of Atty. Gen.
r. l. Bobbitt. His opinion was delivered TO State Sen.
Thos. 3 Love Of Dallas, who has made an application
for a place on the democratic primary ballot Of next
July as a candidate for the gubernatorial nomina-
ton.
Sen. Love participated in the primary elections in
the year 1926 and then bolted the democratic nomi-
nee for governor and gave his enthusiastic support
to DIR. George c. Butte, the republican standard
bearer for that office.
IN 1928 he participated In all the primary conVen-
tions and after Alfred Z. Smith and Joseph Taylor
Robinson had been nominated for president and vice
president at the Houston convention. he bolted the
action Of the convention and gave his enthusiastic
support to the republican standard bearers, Hoover OF
, California and Curtis Of Kansas.
Texas was carried by the republicans in that year.
According to the best obtainable figures 100000 voters
classified as democrats followed Love into the Hoover
Camp in 1928 and PIC, 1000 democrats who had partici-
pated in the primaries Of 1923 failed to 60 to the DOLLS
on November election day to cast their ballots for the
candidates OF their choice.
According 10 some Of the wise men Of the legal
profession the Bobbittt ruling interpreted the cleo
ton laws II inhihit barring either as candidates or
boilers persons who failed to support the nominees
OF the democratic party.
Chm. d. w. Wilcox Of the state executive COM
rittee IS q lawyer and a lawyer Of high standing.
He gave it as his opinion in the not remote past
that the committee had authority TO bar the name OF
Thos. q. Love from the official primary ballot If il
IS decided to do 20.
There are a number Of lawyer members OF the state
executive committee. Now what action will the VIII
cox committee take?
Love won the count IN the office Of the attorney
general. Will he win the count when the Wilcox
committee takes decisive action?
Lieut.. Gov. Barry Miller and Sen. Thos. 3. Love
nre residents of Dallas county. They are candidates
for the democratic nomination.
They were candidates for the office OF lieutenant
governor in 1923. Love lost the count. Miller won
the nomination.
Bcbbitts ruling made Love happy. Bobbitts Tul-
ing drew this declaration from Miller:
Il was In favor Of putting Loves name on the
ticket two years ago and I am now. regardless OF
whether he has any legal rights or not. I can beat
him. whether his name IS on the ticket or Off"
Now n is un 10 the wilcox committee.
There are 81 members.

Give the People Real Reforms

Lawmakers should give the people Of Texas real
reforms. They should reform the prison system
which is the most worthless to be found as well as
the most unavoidable and costly having an existence
in any American commonwealth.
They should reform the fee system. which in many
instances and many ways is a system Of legal piracy.
They should cancel the Travis county courthouse
lease and permit the taxpayers Of Travis county to
build a new courthouse on their own property.
They should do justice to the men and women
who support the schools Of Texas as well as pro-
vide the necessary funds for that which has been
known since the coming Of James (. Ferguson as
rural aid in the little red schoolhouse districts.
There are no "little red schoolhouses" in Texas.
and the phrase is taken from the vocabulary Of many
glib tongued politicians who are teachers and office
seekers and whatnot.

Plentywood herald. [volume] (Plentywood, Mont.) 1908-current, 1930-01-16

Every week, regularly a representative of the Producers
Moose called on the various bootleggers in Plentywood and
the rest of the county and demanded its hush money. Those
who would not dig up handsomely were tipped off to the
federal authorities.
All the b~ooteggers in Sheridan county made enough
money during the Taylor Salisbury regime to retire from any
kind of business for the rest of their lives, were it not for the
graft they had to pay to county officials and the Producers
News. Not only did they have to pay money, but they had
supplied viii booze. The editorial desk at the Producers
News was a veritable fountain of all kinds of imported
liquors.
Was the Producers News fighting bootleggers them
Was it opposed to prohibition thena
Certainly not!
The Herald does not uphold the searching of good citi
zens who come to ~Plentywood. Neither does it uphold boot
logging. But either of those are preferable to the Moose sys
tenn of demanding hush money to avoid publicity.
New officers occasionally do embarrass innocent ctt
zens. They make mistakes as well as anyone does. But
the big mistake was made by the bootleggers who were fool
ih enough to pay the editor Of the Producers News and his
official lackies in the first place. The man who pays graft
is a BLACKBOARD like the Moose editor.
Were it not for the protection afforded the bootleggers
by the Producers Moose Editor who dominated all Offices in
Plentywood would not now be beseiged with federal officers
and bootleggers.
The Moose says b~ootleggers and prohibition are syn
onomous. And the Producers Moose and graft are syn
onomus.
When a community is afflicted with all four it is indeed a
pitiable state.
And who is to blame?
Obviously it is those who were and are willing to be
blackmailed and frightened into supporting that scheme of
things. One plague leads to another. The Moose was the
first plague.

THE PRODUCERS NEWS AND
THE BOOTLEGCINC RACKET

Residents of Sheridan County who recall conditions in
Plentywood and the rest of the county surely got a few loud
smiles out of a couple of gems which appeared in the Moose
last week. Especially were these sentences amusing:
Tie Producers News waged a campaign against
the obvious protection racket here in Plentywood which
allowed booteggers Cottlieb and Dryer to operate
with immunity while coffee pot distllers were given
the old razberry,"
and
The Producers News is the only paper in Sheridan
county that come out openly against bootlegging and
prohibitions"
Yet, we must admit that the Moose editor did wage a
campaign against the bootleggers during that memorable
period when all Sheridan county law was determined in Tay-
lor sanctum. But the campaign was not a public one.
