than they did trying to preserve
the cirrus," he said "They lived
a life of opposition."
About tne only time the big
circus men ever agreed, Kelk?y
said, was in 1910 when "18 of the
biggest showmen in the world"
attended a peace meeting.
Poster Agreement '
"One of the principal objects,"
Kelley said, "was to agree not to
cov,-r each others posters.
"They weren't on the road three
weeks when the agreeinnt w s
broken ... by all of them. The bi*
orv-s were the first to violate the
agreement," he said.
"The circuses should have or-
ganized, like the theater men did
in their early days. All industries
that progress have organized- As
they organize, they effect econom-
ic advancement," he said.
"The circus never organized and
they spent million dollars fight-
ing each other," he said. There
were other reasons for the de-
cline, Kelley said.
No Replacements
"The showmen were both blind
and jealous. They carried on as if
they were to live forever. Nonf
of the big showmen ever educated
anybody to take his place," Kel-
ley said.
"The No. 1 sin of showmen."
KeWey said, "was in not owning
a place to exhibit. A cigar store,
a theater, a business concern, will
pick out a good location and con
trol it.
"The circus lived the life of the
gypsy, never controlled or owned
a location. In its hey-day, there
were vacant lots in all big cities
of America that could have been
taken over by the circuses and
prese rved.
"However, thny failed to do
that. When cities became crowded
and the vacant lots downtown dis-
appeared. the circus had to move
to th-> outskirts. The crowds did
not follow thwn," he said.

The wheat marketing referen-
dum is set for Friday, Julv 20th.
Grower* who in 1957 will harvest
15 acres or more of wheat are
eligible to vote at either the ASC
office or the Lacas a Club House.
The issues to be decided bv the
vote deal with miotas, penalties on
excess production and support
DLices. If two-thirds of the voters
favor un'-tas. then quotas will con-
tinue in effect on the 1!>57 crop. A
"rower who exceeds the larger of
his allotment of 15 acres of wheat
will be subject to a marketing
■ luota penalty on his excess pro-
duction. Under tht. support price
for growers who comoly with their
wheat allotment will be between 75
and '.Ml percent of parity.
If more than one-third of the
voters disapprove quotas, no quo-
tas nor penalties for excess pro-
duction will b" in effect. The sup-
port level will drop to 50 per-
cent of parity for those growers
who comply with their allotments.
This drop is provided by law.
ASC office still going full force
in processing the Soil Bank appli-
cations. Remember July 20th is the
last day that you can sign an
agreement. So you better get in
as s ion as possible.

Anti-TB Plan Proposed
Daniel proposed a "coordinated
state plan" to stamp out tubercu-
loseis in Texas.
He said that as governor he
would "support and encourage
every workable plan to stamp out
th, disease."
The junior senator gained the
endorsement Tuesday- of former
Gov. Miriam (Ma) Ferguson in
Jlis campaign. She said she had
known Daniel for manv years and
called him one of Texas' "most
able, and most dedicated, public
officials."
Yarborough, the first guberna-
torial candidate to sneak at Cor-
pus Christi, drew the most en-
thusiastic response from the
crowd.
He said tlv>re has been a
"strong crystallization of .senti-
ment" for him recently and he
predicted he m av win the race
without a runoff."
Change in Three Weeks
H- said this crystallization had
built up in the last three weeks.
H,. charged that none of the other
five candidates for governor have
helped him in a Yi<?ht against
"corrupt irovvrnment."
Senterfitt said he would not
make promises that couldn't be
fulfilled.,
The former House speaker from
San Saba said it was unnecessary
to brag about his honesty, that
his record was proof of his hon-
sv'ty. Senterfitt said his name has
never been scratched and no vote
has ever been cast against him
in the ballot box where he was
reared.
Haley again attacked the U. S.
Supreme Court school segregation
decision. He said that as governor
he would stand up for states'
rights iji every way.
D was Holmes, who spoke near
midnight when much of the crowd
had drifted away, who dropped the
political bombshell.
He is the first gubernatorial
candidate openly to favor school
integration. He hns also endorsed
legalized pari-mutuel betting on
horse races in T -xas.

Khrushchev came to the Cenrtil
Airport w'th other Soviet leadens
to bid farewell to the Ea^t Gei

At a farewell banquet for the
Khrushchev made a rigorous at
tack on the Western world. He
derided their concept of free
speech, press and elections and
said "nothing could tempt us to
rejoin the so called free world."
