That Other Davidson

That other Davidson" has broken silence. He has
broken IL In the political parlance Of the hour. He
appeared before a Falls county audience Of old pi-
oneers an dthe.r descendants and delivered a pre-
pared address. He did not name his first choice or
his second choice or his third choice. He did rec
ommend that either the voter be permitted to make a
second choice in the first primary or that the nomi-
nees for state office be selected by delegations from
the various counties, the delegates 70 be named
BY the counties at the primaries.
This was the nominating system when Thomas NJ.
CampbeIli. known as the Sage OF Palestine. won the
gubernatorial prize. Then the politicians changed It;
they knocked out the county system and provided that
a candidate for office was entitled to the nomination
II he received a plurality and not a majority OF all
votes cast. This did not appeal to the politicians.
Oscar B. Colquitt was governor. He was ambitious
to go TO the senate Of the United States. He recon-
mended the system In vogue today, that is, he. ad-
vised the plurality plan should be eliminated and the
majority substituted in its stead.
colquitt had a method Of handling law makers.
They adopted his suggestion. They provided for the
majority plan Of nomination.
Colquitt was its first victim. He made the race for
the senate. He received a very heavy vote. Culberson
was his rival in the run-off. Colquitt was buried. His
majority plan may have kept him out Of the upper
chamber Of the American congress.
AS for the primary system. the people have tasted
blood. They love its taste. In other words, they will
not surrender the primary nominating plan without
a very logged and long drawn out battle. Colorado
has a double system 1t permits the voters Of a po-
litical party to assemble in state convention and name
a ticket for primary election purposes. This does not
do away with the primary election methods, but 1t
bars a lot Of ~weaklings or non-descripts, and the
political leaders Of the Centennial state say that the
system works like a charm.
That Other Davidson" has spoken and he hasn't
spoken. He hasn't named his first choice. He hasn't
named his second choice. That Other Davidson" is
a level-headed individual. Maybe he is waiting for
the run-off. Then it may be possible that he will
have no choice, speaking Of the leader and the run
ner-up. and viii be forced to bury himself in the po-
litical thickets or 60 over to that ancient enemy Of
democracy-the @. o. p, whose chief spokesman in
Texas is Col Rene B. Creager, said to be a financial
and political power in the Valley called Magic.
Now the political analysts are predicting a total
primary vote OF $4,000. On with the battle. August
dog days are coming and the heat will be of the
sizzling variety.

The Once Over
THE PEE-wEE GOLF CRAZE

Copyright. 1880. by The Associated Newspape

Copyright, 1880, by The Associated Newspapers)
All important street corners In the United States
not occupied by gas stations. radio supply huts and
cigar stores are now being taken over for tabloid golf
courses. This new game, putting an 1S-hole golf
course on a 100-foot lot. has swept the country as
has nothing since the crossword puzzle and Spanish
influenza.
Some unknown genius decided that the trouble
with orthodox golf was that it required hiking.
He thought that what America needed was golf
courses where the public could get everything golf az
forded except sore heels, arguments with dumb cad
dies and a constant bombardment from the four
some behind. And the results have shown that he
was right.
There are in some communities two and three pee
wee golf courses to a block. They have been a great
boon to undeveloped real estate. The immediate
popularity Of the demi-tasse golf course has puzzled
some people. but the explanation is simple: walking is
practically abolished.
When a beginner takes up Tom Thumb golf he
knows that he can go ahead without buying $4,000
worth Of stock ard that it is okay for him to play
without first producing three character testimonials
and a check for $3.50 for six months dues.
Another big appeal OF tabloid golf rests in the fact
it can be played without a wardrobe, a case OF Scotch
and a bag OF matched clubs. The old blue business
suit is entirely proper for all strokes and nothing can
happen to you that will make a cold shower neces-
sary.
If the fellow behind you drives a ball into the small
Of your back he will be close enough for you to rec
ognize him without appealing to the house committee
for help.
On these miniature links nobody has to walk six
miles before he can decide whether he likes the
course. Every hole is visible from the first tee. Gus
toners can take EN- or leave EN-. You're a member
OF the club for one round only and can't be suspended
for not replacing divots.
The lost golf ball becomes a thing OF the past.
The proprietor supplies them. anyhow. and II one goes
astray all you do IS notify the management. That's
the answer to a buffers prayer.
More power to the tabloid linksl You can play them
all your life and never get a letter notifying you Of a
$50 assessment.

terial concerning the revolution against
Spain which broke out in Peru in 1880,
led by Gen. Jose Gabriel Condorcanuui,
"the last of the Incas" This man, who
styled himself Tupac-Amaru the Sec
ond, was descended through his mother
from the last of the Inca kings. His
proposal was to restore the Inca empire,
but the appeal to revolution was based
largely on the growing dissatisfaction
OF the native whites over government
by officials sent from Spain.
Besides much other material the COL
lection contains a report from one of
the Spanish officials that CerLa. =
olans had declared they would not be
subject to any king unless he happened
TO be descendant of the Incas. The
revolt OF Tupac-Amaru was short-lived
and he was killed. But from that time
on there were continual upriSingS,
which finally came to their climax in
the revolts led by Bolivar, San Martin
and Sucre.
Among the manuscripts Is the treaty
OF capltulation of Ayacucho, signed by
Sucre December 8, 1924. There are
letters from the royalist leaders exulting
over the early defeats of the patriots.
Another notable document Is one
granting Peruvian citizenship to San
Martin.
The collection is especially rich in
material dealing with Bolivar and his
long fight to free the northern countries
of South America.
All the manuscripts are in Spanish
and are personal letters, military orders
and reports. The rest are in excellent
state of preservation. A special case is
