LANE WITHDRAWS
FAVOR OF BALL
From Austin Statesman.
W. P. Lane has withdrawn
from the race fpr Governor in
behalf of Thomas H. Ball. He
says he will nominate him at
Fort Worth and fight in the
ranks as a private citizen in his
behalf.
Will H. Mayes told people here
privately yesterday that if re-
jected as gubernatorial timber at
the Fort Worth Democratic pro-
hibition meeting Saturday, ho
will not accept a nomination
from those who reject him as
Governor that he may become
once more Lieutenant Governor.
His statements with regard to
Colonel Thomas H. Ball as pub-
lished Wednesday morning are
said to be equivalent to burning
the bridges behind him. This
may leave things open to B. B.
Sturgeon of Lamar County as
the prohibition candidate for
Lieutenant Governor.
The anti-prohibitionists are
now endeavoring to eliminate,
finding themselves facing defeat
under the present circumstances
if Thomas H. Ball is to be the
sole prohibilion nominee.
CHILTON MAY YET ENTER.
Hot. Barry Miller of Dallas,
appearing here before the Su-
preme Court Wednesday, talked
politics enough to let it be known
that he still believes that Horace
Chilton of Dallas will enter the
race for Governor. Horace Chil-
ton is an anti-prohibitionist and
JudgeMiller hopes to see him an-
nounce within t'-e next few,'days.
Associate Justice Nelson Phil-
lips of the Supreme Court will
not be a candidate for Governor
at the behest of anti-prohibition
leaders. The candidates al-
ready in the field are fighting
for every advantage, with the

TEXAS, FRIDAY. FEB.
Development and
Growth of Bartlett.
An example of the growth and
development of Bartlett may be
taken from the ever-increasing
number ,of subscribers nt the S.
W. Tel. Exchange. This has
been sd marked as in the past
year. The Telephone is no
longer a luxury, but has become
an indispensable adjunct in our
home and business life, and as
the business and residential por-
tions of our city extend so fol-
lows the ever-lengthening tele-
phone wires, keeping both home
and office in direct and imme
diate touch with "the outside
world.
Sunday School Meeting
The Tribune is' requested to
announce that there will be a
precinct SuncTay School conven-
tion held in Bartlett next Thurs-
day at the Baptist church. All
interested will please take notice.
hone that one o&them mav be
chosen as anfBnti-prohibition
candidate, precluding therefore
the chance's of other anti-competitors.

Sam Sparks had a big home
mass meeting herelast night and
effected a permanent Travis
County organization in his be-
half. There 'is running throughout
the State: the talk that the Demo-
cratic party may be split as a re-
sult of this year's political fight.
The first meeting of the State
Democratic executive committee
will be Watched with interest.
The Staj;e committee is over-
whelmingly anti-prohibition.
These seem to be the important
political (developments as noted
by The Statesman within the
past twenty-four hours.
The statement from Mr. Lane
says that he will nominate and
flight in the campaign for Colonel
Ball, making that fight, however,
as a?private citizen. It is not
yet known definitely whether or
not he will be persuaded again to
make the race for Comptroller.

Lucas Rowntree An-
nounces For. Mayor.
In makings my announcement,
for Mayor I wish to say it is only
by a strong solicitation of what I
believe to be a majority of the cit-
izens of Bartlett, and will say to
the public, as I have to each in-
dividual in talking to them, that
I am not an office-seeker and nn4
der no consideration would I have
the office unless a majority of
the voters favored making a
change, and should they so de
cide and confer that favor on me,
I would be able to accept same
and give my time and best ef
forts to such matters as are per-
taining to our town's best inter-
est, and if elected I shall insist
upon a hearty co-operation of the
people in all public affairs, for
without co-operation everv ad
ministration is handicapped in
carrying out the people's desires,
and if support is not given, I
think there is little ground for
criticism. I think the practice
of economy is the key to success.
This applies to cities as it does"
to individuals. I also invite
criticism of my official acts as a
member of the City Council for
the last three years. I also think
in misdemeahor cases the de-
fendant should not always have
the lowest fine, but in many
cases I think the defendant is en-
titled to a minimum fine. I am
proud of our Civic League and
think it Bhould be encouraged by
every citizen, and I invite their
co-operation with the City Coun-
sil. In concluding this announc-
ment will say, if elected, I hope
no one will ever have occasion to
regret voting for me, and hope
by continued demand upon the
people for co-operation that such
conditions will be brought about
that those who chose to vote
against me will be proud of my
election.
