long, slow climb to a place in representative government at
Washington.
Because of the seniority requirement, Texas is only now coming
into the full fruition of that long, patient wait. The election of .
Franklin D. Roosevelt was simultaneous with the recognition of
Texans in the national congress through placement on the com-
mittees which have everything to do with the allocation of na-
tional perquisites to individual states.
Now, with such men as Fritz Lanham, Marvin Jones, Hatton W.
Sumners and Morgan G. Sanders in the Lower House, and John
Nance Garner, elevated from the speakership to the vice presi-
dney, to look after her interests, Texas is really in a position to

And yet there will always be a few persons who insist on re-

erity to ask for it, presumably. As far as actual benefits to the

Texas ran third, only- 31,000
votes behind Sterling, even-
tually elected governor.
Now let us look at this
year’s line-up. Small will come
out of West Texas with more
than the 100,000 votes of four
years ago. Ferguson's strength
in that section cannot be turn-
ed over on a silver platter to
McDonald:' Allred will get a
good share of the votes, while
Hunter’s protest vote of two
years ago wilt h krdly hold up
this year. In fact, less is heard
of him now than before the
race warmed up, as his pro-
gram is considered radically
• impossible.
s Maury Hughes will get a
slice of the Ferguson vote that
- would otherwise have gone to
McDonald hurting the latter’s
chances, and Witt will run
strong in Central Texas, and
possibly in Dallas County, but
will be heard of but little from
other "sections. E. K. Russell,
is running on a bone-dry
ticket. But those who vote for
him are necessarily wasting
their franchise, and thus in-

- There is to -be considered, too, the term of proving himself to
his constituents which every novice congressman must go
through. In Morgan G. Sanders we have a man who has served
his people for more than 30 years and whose integrity and devo- I
tion to their interests is demonstrated beyond per-adventure, j
a man who has won the whole-hearted trust and confidence of I
his entire constituency.
Due to the fortuitous'circumstance of a slight change in district-
ing this year, there have not been lacking those who would, seek,
for personal gratification and ambition, to unhorse the cham-
pion 6f the people who has so long represented them in the na- l
tional lists. But Morgan Sanders, his lance in regt, rides serene-
yalong in supreme confidence that the majority of the people
are clearsighted enough to see where their best interests lie.
Congressman Sanders has the honor and distinction of having I
succeeded Vice Pres. Garner as a member of the all-import- I
-ant Ways ahd Means Committee, the most important of all such [
bodies functioning under a representative form of government, j
having been elected on the first ballot. That is evidence that he
has the confidence of his associates, which is one of the requi- !
sites to being able to hold a commanding place in national af-
fairs and giving the citizens of the Third District of Texas their
share of representation.
Abraham Lincoln's advice against changing horses in the mid-
dle of a stream was never more applicable than to the case of
the congressional race in this district at this time. Morgan !
Sanders has made a record of which his people can be truly |
proud, last-minute campaign slanders and misrepresentations I
having fallen to the ground of their owr weight, including the
absurd charge that he never introduced a bill when he has been
the author of fifty-one measures, all of which have been of the
constructive type.
Congressman Sanders' opponents do not venture to say directly
that they favor a return to the chaos of closed ban k 8 and i
staggering economic structure, such as prevailed when Frank- j
lin D. Roosevelt’s term of office began, yet they openly ask the
people to repudiate one of the stalwarts who stood behind the
president when the hour was blackest and helped pull the na- j
tion out of the black depths of panic.
Fortunately, the people of the Third District are too well inform- |
ed, too intelligent and too fair to listen to such a stupid and '
selfish proposal. Morgan Sanders should and will be returned
to Washington to continue his good work for Texas and his dist-
rict by a handsome majority, in all probability in the first pri- |
mary.

In the race .of .1930, Small
got 274 votes inHarris Coun-

20,000 votes there. In fact, he
got less than 4,000 votes all
told East of the Trinity River,
and a conservative tabulation
of that territory now gives him
well above 100,000 votes. "
Conceding that Small will
keep at least 100,000 of' his

estimated he will get not less
•than 150,000 votes in the re-
mainder of the state, which is
