All Hail the Glorious Fourth

All hail the glorious Fourth, independence Day Of
the greatest republic that the hand and brain OF man
ever created. Old Sol IS making new high marks In
Texas and If the heat wave continue the thousands
who attend the country picnics, the old South barbe-
cues. the rallies Of office seekers. and the p~erspirlng
patriots, young and old, who seek the shade Of the
woodland or the chill Of the bathing pools fed by
Texas springs will forget all about the traditions of the
fathers and pray for the coming OF cool weather and
torrential rains.
1t is going TO be a big day IN Texas. All the can
didates for high place and scrub place with a salary
attached are scheduled to turn loose the eagles and
the eaglets and tel the story OF how the patriots Of
old drove the minionS or foreign despots into the At
lant.c and made this republic "the land OF the free
and the home Of the brave" Politically speaking, il
will be an interesting day. There are canny news
paper scribes who have told it TO their readers under
scare headlines that Lynch Davidson will take the
democrats Of Texas into his confidence and tell the
honest yoemanry the standard-beare he has picked
in the free-for-all race which will name a leader and
a runner-up for the August finals.
Low and behold, just the other day THE Wasp Of
Texas Politics" grew weary Of waiting for Lynch, who
Is his political idol. to make a declaration and he
jumped from his own handcar to the Thomas 3. Love
freight train. Now. who Is The Wasp Of Texas Poll
ticsq" Why. Former State Sen. Z. G. Scnter Of Dallas
and Arlington and Fort Worth, and oil Texas for that
matter. He was the first democrat TO announce for
the office of governor, subject Of course to the inspec-
ton and the balloting OF the faithful at the July
primary. He made many speeches. he shot many
stories across the state. he Is his own publicity maker
and writer and. then just before the state committee
prepared to make its final decision and its official
ballot, he announced that he would withdraw from
the campaign II Lynch Davidson would enter the race
as a seeker for the $4,000 a year job.
Lynch was drafted; The Wasp stepped aside and
waited and then waited again. Then he turned his
famous political somersauit and landed on the knees
Of Senator Love. Not a very old man. but q very an
cient campaiEner Is "the wasp of Texas politics" He
was the editor Of a little paper at the early age OF
IA; he was an orator at an earlier age; he has been
in and out Of the political arena for more than As
years; he had picked Lynch Davidson as the Moses
OF the people. Now. ii the face Of the enemy, with the
hooters dancing on the firing line ard the fiddlers and
the piccolo players and jazz orchestras doing their
duty By their fellow men, The Wasp" has gone home
and Lynch is scheduled ID pick his man. one Of the
eleven cantering around the race track, on the glori-
GUS natal day Of the republic OF George Washington
and Herbert Hoover. As for The Wasp" he is a
public entertainer. He has a scorching tongue. He
wields a scorching pen. He hoes his own row and he
will be spraying with vitrol "the enemies OF the people
and the foes or the constitution" just before he closes
his eyes III that sleep which Is said by many To be
sweet as well as eternal.
It Is said that Texas has a population Of 100000
men and women and boys and girls and babes in
the cradle, and ondescripts who are unclassified. Take
