felt there was considerable do.ibt
that there would be any runoff But
with Thompson omt, the conserva-
tives can and probably will flock
to Hiñes' banner enmasse. If the
Fergusons get in, and Week-end
rumors had it they will, the best
observers here think that will hurt
klines not a bit, but will cut sub-
stantially into the votes that Hines
and Sadler will divide.
Iliac* Has Strength
O'Dauiel has obviously lost a lot
of strength from two years ago.
Retail merchants of all kinis, one
of his strongest bloc of votes last
time, have quit him cold on the
aalea tax issue. The barbers are
«rrying the axe for O'Daniel all
over the state, because of his veto
of the barber price-fixing bill. La-
bor has never liked him since he
Ignored them in naming a Labor
Commissioner. He still has much
of Úie old age pension vote, and
a substantial part of the fanatical-
ly religious group.
Hines is an able speaker. He,has
offered a conservative platform, re-
fusing to make promises about
taxation and pensions that he
knows no Governor can fulfill, but
bas merely pledged himself to work
with the Legislature, to submit and
recommend an omnibus tax bill,
and in absolute opposition to a
aales tax. The big business t^ment,
which supported O'Daniel last time,
is still behind him, in the hope that
his re-election would mean another
tax deadlock, and thus postpone the
evil day another two years. But
they are very friendly to Hines, and
if Hines makes a showing of
strength sufficient to impress them
in the next 60 days, he doubtless
will pick up considerable support
Cram this powerful group. Hines
hna a. strong church following, a
considerable support from the coun-
ty political group, because of his
■igbway Commission hookup, and
a good many friends among the
■chool people. Where he goes in the
npdf frill prbably be largely de-
termined by the campaigning of the
next few weeks.
Big Bays Afraid of Lee
ODanM'a fantastic program of
$60,000,00© of new taxes—s 50 per-
cent increase at one whack—and
his stubborn insistence on his pet
form of economic lunacy which he
calls the "transaction tax"—the
equivalent of a 6 to 8 percent sales
tax—has left ?11 but the most radic-
al "gimmee" element in "flexas
pretty cold. The Governor may win
in spite of his transaction tax, but
he will never win because of it. The
"big boys" who are supporting
O'Daniel are literally scared to
death of him, because of his un-
predictible and unsound economic
ideas, borrowed from the good Dr.
Townsend.
The Chief Justiceship of the Su-
preme Court of Texas, the highest
honor that can come to a Texas
lawyer, was still begging for a tak-
er at the week-end, following the
refusal of Gerald Mann, Attorney
General, and of Eugene Locke, dis-
tinguished Dallas civil practicion-
er, to accept appointment to the
post at the hands of Gov. O'Daniel.
Mann, ruling against himself on
the ground he cannot qualify, he-
cause he has not been in practice
«even years, as required by the
Constitution, again declined when
O'Daniel named him, effective Sep-
tember 1, because he said, he "felt
he could be of more service in his
present post." Mann, unopposed for
Attorney General, will be in splen-
did position two years from now,
to run either for Governor, if
O'Daniel gets a second term, or
against Sen. Morris Sheppard, if
Hines or some other candidate ousts
W. Lee this time.

An Economist Speaks
Mr. Peter Molyneaux, the erudite
editor of The Texas Weekly,
shrewdly analyses the $60,000,000
tax demand of O'Daniel, in last
week's issue of that periodical. He
shows that W. Lee's expectation of
getting 35 or 40 million of "match-
ing" money from the Federal gov-
ernment for social security use is
as unlikely of fulfillment hs was his
promise of $30 a mont to all over
65, two years ago. Molyneaux writes

COUNTY HOME DEMONSTRA-
STRATION COUNCIL HAS ITS
FIRST MEETING
By Mrs. Charles Lewis
Representatives from the differ-
ent home demonstration clubs of
Burleson county met with Miss
Isabelle Foulds in the district court
room at Caldwell Saturday, April
13, 1940, for the purpose of organ-
he became governor. But he points ¡zing the first County Home Dem-
Overture To Mann
O'Daniel's tender of the post to
the Attorney General was a shrewd
political move. The governor vio-
lently antagonized many of Mann's
friends two years ago when he en-
dorsed Mann's runoff opponent,
Walter Woodul, and since Mnan's
splendid service in the Attorney
General's office has made him prob-
ably the most popular man in
Texas with the people, the Gov-
ernor has several times made over-
tures to Mann, in an effort to plac-
ate the Mann supporters. Mann
himself, while he has been respect-
ful and courteous, has remained
very cold to W. Lee's efforts to
warm up to him. The rejection of
the Supreme Court post required
moral courage of high order, but
it also represented political saga-
city that will make Mann even
stronger with the folks. It leaves
Mann's strong personal followers
out that California, with twice as
many old folks over 65, as Texas,
is receiving only $19,745,000 a year
from the U. S. for social security,
more than any other State. New
York, with nearly three times as
many oldsters as Texas' 232,459,
gets a little less than California,
and Pennsylvania, with 508,278 gets
only $16,426,500. Hs points out
Texas isn't likely to get as much
as New York and California com-
bined, with more than five times
as many oldsters as Texas has. The
boys in Washington just don't play
that way, and O'Daniel's promises
this time are going to take a lot of
high-claar work with the bull fid-
dle and the Ten Commandments to
get them down the people's throats.

SNOOK WOMAN'S CLUB—
Mrs. W. H. Giesenschlag
The Snook Woman's Club met at
the Brethren Sunday School room
Tuesday evening, April 9, for their
regular meeting. Miss Foulds was
able to be with us, as this was only
the second meeting of the club, most
of the time was spent in discussing
plans for our future meetings.
"Flowers"—their care and cul-
ture will be taken up at the next
meeting. Some 12 reports will be
given on different types of flowers.
Each lady givrn n report is asked
to find out all she can about that
class of flower and report to the
club. In this way th? club members
will become familiar with all types
of flowers.
Miss Foulds passed out material
for th" killing of earth worms and
grub worms. She also gave each
present a pattern fof a Dutch bon-
net that is very attractive and is
also easy to make and launder.
We had one new member, Mrs.

present agreed t« bring a new

DEANVILLE— Helen Kiel
The members of the Deanville
4-H club met at the school house
April 15 with their sponsor.
Sisee the president was absent,
the vice-president took charge of
the meeting. The meeting was called
to order, the minutes read, and the
roll called. The chairmen of the
various clubs gave reports on what
they had accomplished. We then
elected Rachel Gerland as our gar-
den demonstrator to take Bertha
Flippin's place.
Using th: mat. rial Miss Foulds
gave us, we continuer our meeting
with a discussion on the benefits of
good posture and demonstrated
the effects of bad posture. Rachel
Gerland «ave a ninteresting report
on the essentials of good posture.
We also talked about good exercise
that helps to improve posture.
CALDWELL—Marye Lee Reich lc
Tht* members are looking forward
to the next meeting with Miss
Foulds, which we hope will be soon
because the girls wish to catch up
on their club work.
Some of the members reported,
that even though the cold weather
we had several days the past week
did not harm their gardens, it did
not help them either.
Our wardrobe demonstrator, Lil-
lie Mae Sefcik, reported that she
has had her wardrobe completed
for several weeks. The club will
make a trip to her home to see the
wardrobe as soon as possible. Mary
Lee Reic-hle reported that she has
been eating vegetables from her
garden for several weeks. She will
soon have English peas to eat.
NEW TABOR—Agnes Hanarik
We did not have the meeting with
our County Home Demonstrator
last month. Esther Trcalek, our
wardrobe demonstrator has ho-
ward robe finished. We are looking
forward for a meeting.
