Is to be the next governor of Texas, !s
now making a winning cniipaicn.
Wherever he ?oes the people hear him
gladly. At every appoint men', he has
vast throngs to hear him. enuring
overflow meetings to he Odd in n>,>ny
places. The people are tnUvesled in
. the candidate because of what he
stands for. It is generally ?61."ccded
that his opening speech at Greenvll.o
on April 21st is one of the very Kreat-
est political documents ever put forth
by any candidate for governor of Tex-
as. His long years of service for the
people in congress, and his great
knowledge of the needs of the H^ite
make it absolutely necessary for the
best interest of the people, that he be
governor of his native State. In
all his political career he has stood for
progressive democracy. He was one
of the original Wilson men, and was
the leader of the immortal forty dele-
gates from Texas in the Baltimore
convention who ^forced ^he nomina-
nation of President Wilson. Without
the aid of the Texas delegation Wil-
son would never hav« received the
nomination. Mr. Ball was the leader
there. Just as he is always leader in
whatever capacity he serves. He is a
born leader, because he was born hon-
est and true. He is true to a friend,
true to his convictions, true to the

j best, interests of his native State, and
i true to the best interests of a united
I country, which now knows no North,
; no South, no East and no West, but is
one and inseperahle. The people ail
over the State are falling into line for
Mr. Ball. They are for him in all
parts of the Sta'e, just as Uiey a.-e
for him in Waiker and Harris coun-
ties where he has lived all bis life.
Mr. Bail stands for the home H
stands for more homes. He declares
that the home is the hope of the ca-
tion, the hope of the State. He de-
clares that be wants Texas to be a
State of home owners and not a State
of renters. He does not recognize the
tenant system as a permanent, system
or as a good system, no matter how
much legislation might be enacted on
the snbject. Mr. Ball stands for the j
moat progressive principles which j
have made home owners in many
.countries and will do so in Texas.
Tbos. H. Ball has been before the
people of Texas for ."?<> long years and
has a most enviable .record Below
are some of the things he has done
and some of the principles for which
he has stood. No other pablic man
who has ever been before the people
of Texas has a better record:
1. In 1885, as Mayor of Huntaville,
he recommended and procured the
passage of an ordinance abolishing
the fee system and placing ail City
officers on a salary tMis, which sys-
tem has remained in vogne until thia
day. '
2. In 1889 he actively supponed the
submission by the Legislature of Tex-
as of the constitutional amendment
providing for the present Railroad
Commission to regulate freight rates.
3. In 1890 he actively supported
"Hogg and the Commiaaioa" in Gover-
nor Hogg's great fight for the gover-
norship en the Railroad Commission
platform
4. Ia 1892 he active** supported
