Battle of the Ballot in Texas

There is a battle of the bottle under the big dome
IN the city Of Washington and the laundering Of
the ultra-prcs and the ultra -antis ring around the
American world.
1t is an amazing issue.
Left alone, economic issues would engage the at
tention OF the national lawmakers and the men Of
affairs who are interested in commerce and finance
Let alone, the national lawmakers would be COM
PEELED to face the problem Of monopolistic control
and the enactment of tariff and tax laws.
Down here in Texas, in addition to the battle
around the bottle, there is a battle for the control
Of the ballot box.
Chmn. d. w. Wilcox and his state executive COM
mittee held an important session on Feb. !. It was
not a spectacular session. There were no loud and
1usty political hanrangues. All Hoover democrats
who are not candidates for state office were invited
70 participate in the democratic primary election 70
be held in the coming months Of July and August,
conditional on their giving unqualified support to
the nominees of the aforesaid primary.
All Hoover democrats. those who bolted in the
November election Of 1928. were ruled out ss fit
ting or acceptable applicants for the various state
offices or high court judicial positions. On the Of
ficial ballot to be placed before the democratic voters
In the coming month of July and in the run-off in
August where run-offs are necessary.
Lest we forget. official action was not taken to-
ward the making OF the official primary ballot.
There's a statute which requires the official ballot
to be made out on the ninth day Of June. this year.
This is law and the committee tracked the law.
Politics is a practical and cold-blooded propo-
sition. There must be political parties and this has
been a two-party country for decades.
On and after the June 9 session OF the committee
on applicant or applicants who have been denied
place on the Official ballot may turn their eyes TO
the courts Of the commonwealth and seek redress
for real or fancied grievance. Atty. Gen. r. L. Bob
bitt handed out an opinion-by request OF an avowed
applicant for place on the ticket who is seeking
the governorship OF Texas.
BY a vote OF q to 10. this Bobbitt ruling was tossed
aside. Two years ago Claude Pollard, then attorney
general. made a similar ruling. His ruling was tossed
aside.
All this reminds The Herald that there are 81
members OF the state committee Thirty were pres
ent. Twenty-one voted yea FOR the declarations OF
principles or rulings made by the committee. Nine
cast negative votes.
Two OF the nine declared themselves against the
candidacy Of the Hoover democratic leader but con-
tended that the procedure to be taken by the COM
mittee was antagonistic 10 their viewpoint Of that
which should be done.
There will be another meeting Of the executive
committee in the month Of June. Then, the bal
lot will be prepared. Until the coming Of the month

mankind than the one which DR..
Caldwell performed back in 1885
when he wrote the prescription
which has carried his fame to
the four corners Of the earth.
Over and over, DR.. Caldwell
wrote this prescription as he
found men, women, and children
suffering from those common
symptoms Of constipation, such
as coated tongue, bad breath,
headaches, gas, nausea, bilious
ness, poor appetite, or lack Of

relieved these symptoms so

his patients simply had to tell

OBSERVING THE DOPPLER
SHIFT IN THE SOLAR


Let us note an example of the
Doppler effect, 1 e., the shifting of
spectrum lines toward the violet
or the red, as a source Of light IS
approaching or receding from the
observer: When a spectrogram of
the eastern and Of the western
limbs Of the sun are taken at the
same time on a Photographic plate.
the lines photographing the eastern
limb (edge) are shifted toward the
violet. while the lines photographing
the western limb are shifted to-
ward the red. due to the fact that
the eastern limb is approaching the
observer, while the western limb is
rotating away from the observer.
This idea once grasred is intensely
interesting.

 Present and past occupants have described it as bleak, dirty and lack ing in common convenienCes of the modern homo. Now 1t has been de- cided that the cost of living there is ac great that the prime minister's salary of s25,o00 a year is insuffi- Clent.

Miss 1shbel Mac Donald Mrs. Stanley Baldwin and Dame Margaret Lloyd George have echoed the Judgments of the states men in their families,
 As result a parliamentary com Eattee has recommended that the prime minister's stipend be in creased to s35,oo0 yearly.
 "The house is old and dark; il gets dirty very quickly and it is not convenient in any way" Mir. Bald win told the committee.
 "Thc government heats the state dining room and drawing room. but the little room in between where l used to have my breakfast they do rot heat at. all, And the electric light bills and the gas bills were vnormous.'
