Gov. Sterling Swings the Bullwhip

Governor Sterling was very much at home In Temple
swinging the bullwhip over an OK team. This Is not
the OK cart period Of civilization but they do say that
when the governor was 10 years OF age ne could
handle an 8-yoke team and could plat a bullwhip with
all the ease and dexterity Of any bull whacker under
the skies of Texas. Truth Is he prided himself on his
ability to drive big teams Of oxen and to swing q
whip that would do credit to the veterans who piloted
the teams across the continent to the Pacific coast
long before the coming Of any OF the transcontinental
railways.
He Is governor now and refuses to get excited. He
Is publisher Of a big newspaper. He Is one Of the high
cards in a big bank. He owns farms and ranches
and he knows something about the oil industry. This
IS one OF the reasons why he refuses to grow excited
over the murmurings OF the surging factions. There
are two paramount issues near and dear to his heart.
He would like to see the state highway bond issue 20
over the top before he retires from public life. A second
issue OF even greater Importance would be a state
commission for the conservation OF the natural re-
sources OF Texas including conservation or the soil
These he looks upon as the two issues OF prime i'm
portance which the people or Texas must settle At
the ballot box There are thousands OF progressive men
and women who are in hearty accord with his views.
A continuous campaign OF education l. one Of the
demands Of the hour along these wealth-saving lines.

AUSTIN, July 2.-This quotes no

one except the individual most
concerned.
why not instruct the as Texas
presidential votes for Ross .. Sterl-
ing2" Is the question.
Here are some OF the arguments
that have sifted themselves out or
the informal and more or less In
tangible discussion Of this idea:
!. It would be a tribute to the
Texas governor and leader OF Tex
as democracy.
2. II would be a mild honor In
itself, with no expectation, unless
the lightning struck" that 1t
should in itself be more than q
personal tribute. Backing OF neigh
Dor states might be won.
g. IT would be a rallying cry for
the middle-ground democrats now
In control OF the party machinery
In Texas. II would mean harmony.
4. IL would prevent extreme fac
tons Of either side from trying 10
pitch an issue In local and state
conventions and thus take COM
mand or party affairs IN selection
and pledging or national delegates.
3. 1t would not be hostile I'd the
selection and ultimate nomination
or an outstanding national political
party figure, such for instance as
Gov. Roosevelt. Rather, II would
keep Texas democracy on its feet
and prevent either a serious spill
through pre-conventi0n di1cord or
loss Of the states strength al
together in the final achievement.
8. 10 woul throttle the under
cover workers who ususally try 20
get control behind the scenes for

0ns. and 10 dominate party conven-
tons III the state.
r. wgfd keep Texas in good
strategic position to make itself
felt IN the national selection and
the national victory.
3. ri would save playing into the
hands OF scheming politicians:
since GOV. Sterling has never been
accused OF being a politician. and
hasn't been studying the politicians
handbook.
This is the trend OF discussion
now, whether II bears fruit Or not.

Prior to the sailing Monday night on the Prince Henry for Prince Rupert, MT. and Mrs. Charles Miller were hosts at their home to many of their local friends and were the recipients of many beautiful gifts. They are enroute to Pittsburgh to attend a Serbian convention.
 They will stop briefly at Prince Rupert to visit Mrs. Sam Bell and will leave their four children with her while they make the eastern trip. MT. Miller will return here in about 30 days, but Mrs. Miller will stay in Prince Rupert for two or more weeks before coming north.
 Among the guests at the Miller home Monday evening were MT. and Mrs. D. J. Williams, Hirst- Chichagof, MT. and Mrs. A. J. Kasilico, MT. and Mrs. Mike Pus- ich, Mrs. Gabe Paul, MT. and Mrs. Sam Lepitich, Mrs. Sam Mix inovich, MT. and Mrs. Stiepich and number of others.
