LET'S HAVE A HOUSE CLEANING
TPKXAS IS entitled to a real governor next year. Texas is net
* ting tired of "accidental" governors. Ferguson was elected
governor by accident the accident being the fact that he had
practically no opposition. Then Hobby was kicked into the gover
nor's chair through Ferguson's crookedness, and was lata r electee rag at:
governor by doublecrossing his frieads at the opportune time.
Now it is time for all true American Democrats to rally around the
flag of freedom and relegate all political doublecrosser into the
shade of utter oblivion. This can only be done by making a clean
sweep of the capitol at Austin. About two-third • of the pres. \ t
legislators belong in the cotton patch, and cotton p.ckers are b i |!y

that, our Irish blood begins to boil, and to save out lite \\

cartages in the world of politics than all the rest f our political
hi torv. Yes, more cotton pickers, one-horse farm r.. jacklegged

get them cheaper. Rut union labor says that is what we organized

rankest sort, and it ain't going to stand, and if union labor stays
