so much attention tnat I am
hoping it will be the means of
-tariing a reform in campaigning
methods. Certainly auch a re-
£->im ir, very much needed and I
believe I have suggested the best
plan for bringing it about. Just
giye the candidate to understand
lighc now that you will be glad
io see him at any time, aud to
have an expression of his views
on '11 public questions, but tha'
you will not support a man who
sends one of his henchmen into
your neighborhood. The good oi
the country demands that the po
litical hpnlflr be called down.
A tow general propositions
may be laid down, to which how-
ever there may be rare excep-
tions. The man who gives much
of ilia time to the candidacy of
a \other, and goes out among the
people from day to day in his in
n vo'it, is h:.r d to do so. He hires
hiuisrlf purely for the money
there is in it; sells to the highest
bidder, his supposed influence.
That candidate who buys a cam-
paigner's work in this way will,
i' need be, pay for votes. The
man who will l>uy the influence
oi* the vote of another will soli
his own influence and vote.
Therefore the candidate who
sends hired cimsaries to solicit
your vote is an unsafe man to
have in office. It is time for the
good citizens of Texas to call a
na,it in tins matter and 1 wis!)
every newspaper in the statn
would speak out plainly on the
subject and keep at it until a stop
is put to this pernicious practice.
It can be stopped this early in
the campaign by a united effort
of press and people and that, too,
without injuring the feelings <">r
the political prospects of any
candidate. It is positively de~
manded, if politics is to haye
even a semblance of purity.
Another thing that should be
i ;entioned right now and again
jjst before the election. The
candidate whose whiskey or
whose cigars circulate fre.-ly
should not have the sjpport of a
respectable voter. Language
cannot express the contempt in
which the man should be held
who will attempt to pollute th'3
bailot with whiskey. Of course
this is done, when it is practiced,
hut a little investigation will de-
velop in whose interest whiskey
is being used Ayoid putting
such a man into office as you
would avoi i putting poisou be-
fore your children. The candi-
date who curies with him a box
of cigars and gives them to Dick,
Tom and llarry, endeavoring to'
appear liberal, is too little to
hold public office. There is noth-
ing wrong in giving a friend a
cigar but almost any fool has
seen enough to know when they
are g'ven away with the hope of
influencing votes. The cigar-
giving campaigner is too small
fry to swim in the political pud-
dle.
The result of the expensive
methods now pursued is that
many men wiil not become can-
didates for office because of the
heavy expense. It's a common
expression "I am too poor to get
that office. " Some who might
not care for the cost, will not,
enter a race because their sense
of right causes them to shun
such methods. They would, ard
justly too. loathe themselves for.
ever if thn> should either direct-
ly or indiroctly become buyers of
j^>tes, or i ' influence.
If only those who read this
article will determine to do it a
reform in campaigning can be
effected that will be felt in the
state this year. But the voter
must also stop grafting. Call in
your church committee that h R
been appointed to go to town to
see how much it can get out of
each candidate. The church
members who wilt uso the church
influence to make a oandidate
"cough up" are even worse than
the grafter who sells his influence
and work. He does his \ est for
his man in return fcr his money,
but all the church community
does is to use his subscription to
pull a larger one from his oo-
ponent. Having bled che whole
list to the fullest extent, the
church committee votes for whom
it pleases. Don't «-xpeot any
more from a candidate thin from
any other citizen. Don't try io
work him. Be honest and clean
with him and exact the same
things from him.
Co-Operative Farms.
According to the plans of S. A,
Knapp, special ag> nt for the
government in the fight on the
boll weevil, co operative farms
are being established in differ-
ent parts of the boll weevil dis-
trict. Farmers are agreeing to
cultivate a stated number of acres
under direction of the govern-
ment, in order that all may act in
harmony and thus demonstrate
the value of the plan - and meth-
ods to be adopted i-y the depart-
ment. Agents are now traveling
over the state organizing these
co-operative associations.
Mr. A. B. hinnebrew, acting
for the department of agriculture
was here yesterday and organized
an association, and the following
gentlemen agreed to cultivate the
number of acres stated, using the
methods of the department:
John 11 Corley, o iwcres,
C. L. Watson, 10 acres.
H. M. Munger, 10 acres.
F. G. Robertson, 10 acres,
Jos. Nussbaum, 10 acres.
W. T. Mays, 10 acres.
J. P>. Mathis, 10 acres.
Win. llees, 10 acres.
J. M. Patton, 5 acres.
T. A. White, ft aces.
T, J. Gardner, 10 acres,
This makes in ai. 95 acres, and
perhaps there will still be others
that will join the movement.
Much good can b« accomplish-
ed by this plan, as each patch
will be a little experimental farm
and our farmers can watch the
