given. The Record and
Chronicle believes that the people of
Texas should be given the oppor-
tunity of voting on this question.
Dot pros and antis, we believe,
should vote for submission and roll
up a sufficient majority to compel
the Legislature to submit the amend-
ment. It is a matter that is going
to be with us always until It is sub-
mitted and gotten out of the way
and the longer iae antis ignore the
piatform demand for the submis-
sion, the more likely it becomes that
the amendment will carry by a big
majority when it is submitted. We
very seriously doubt that it will be
submitted by the Thirty-second Leg-
islature but -f it isn’t, the re—dis-
tricting under the Thirteenth census
wnl insure its submission in 1912
or 1914, provided the pros have a
majority in the Legislature to look
after the re districting and provided
there isn’t a radical change in the
sentiment now existing. But the
antis are putting themselves ’in the
hole politically speaking, for no
mau or set of men is big enough to
repudiate party instructions and 18-
nore platform demands put thera
by the vote of ae people.

Little Gilbert Gibbs is sick.
Dr. Rankin strongly denies th it
he is a bolter and says. In a reply
to a Fort Worth editorial, that "Col-
quitt is organizing the boit in that
he has said time and again that
he will not abide by the instruction
of a majority d the democratic vo-
ters on the suestion of submission,
aud he has often said he will no",
abide by the platform of his party
when his party puts things in
platform not in keeping with
views." He goes on to say.
"True, the convention will
noupce the result of the primary, but
can not the convention go on re-
cord as failing to approve Mr. Col-
quitt's rebellion against his party?
Were Mr. Colquitt to get a majority
of the primary vote it would be dif-
ferent, but not so with a minority
vote. It seems to me and thousands
of others that Mr. Colquitt is or-
ganizing a revolt against the people
and against his party platform. To
say, as you do, that Colsultt and
run as the approved nominee of the
party and at the same time repud -
iate its fundamental principles, Is
too absurd for belief. In your at-
tempt to establish such a prepos-
terous proposition you simply juggle
with words and substitute legende-
main for sound argument. But, as
a matter of fact, we do not seriously
fear that the state convention will
be put In such a ridiculous predica-
ment, for it is not probable that Mr
Colquitt will get even a minority
nomination.”
Ag the Record and Chronicle sug-
gested the other day, the question
now seems to be which would be
the greater bolter—the man who
bolted the nomination, bestowed by
a minority, or the platform, writ-
ten by the maority, of the party?
Frankly, we believe, it looks like
Colquitt is to be the nominee with
Johnson the only man who has ev-
en a faint chance. It’s now, ap-
parently, Colquitt against the field

Denton's first 1910 trades
was a success from any viewpoint
And the exhibits of agricultural
products were eye-openers Think
of one farm showing up fifty-four
different farm and truck products
and that's what one Denton county
farmer showed at the trades display.
It's due to \the wide diversity of
soils, Denton county’s wide diversity
of products. And in that diversi-
fication Idea, which Denton county
was one of the very first ‘o adopt,
is found the secret ot Denton
county's growth and success in
spite of the handicaps under which
all North Texas has laljored for
the past four or five years. Den'on's
second trades day will bc far ahead
of the first, simply because it will
come at a time when not only will
there be more to show, but >*he
farmers will not be too busy to come

It’s a peculiar fact that meu who
will contribute Uberally to some po-
litician'■ campaign fund never sub -
scribe to a fund tor the building of
better roads, of better towns and of
their home town's advancement. In-
deed some of the veriest pull-backs
a .town has are often the most lib-
eral contributors to some compalgn
fund tor a man who has little or no
use for them except for their few
dollars and taeir influence when he
needs it worst. It’s all right to sub -
scribe to a campaign fund in which
you are interested if you want to.
But to contribute exclusively to ths
character of business and nothing to
those for material advancement ani
prosperity is the wrong principle.
The order should be reversed.
