PLATFORMS
probably in the history of the American nation have
the people at large read and digested with more avid inter-!
wt the political platforms on Which the many candidates for
drtlce haVfe offered themselves this year. They read but
teamed Httle from the 10,000 wOrtt platform adopted by the
Republican patty lh national convention. Texas Democrats to
atBld confusion in the minds of the voters favor a .short
simple platform free from “Mi nk,” and will urge this at the
tottN&tffr convention.
butch cah be tdtered lh a short simple platform is
proved by that framed by Cullen R Thomas, an outstanding
Democrat, long prominent In state and national affairs who
In wfthbfaWihfe his name from the race for congressman at
RUfga presented as the program upon which he would have
fan the following objectives:
* To put an end to the reign of squahdet-mahia al W ’ : 'g-
tOn;
to lop off-bureaucratic barnacles in government;.
to balance all government budgets by placing the burdehs
bf taxation on those most able to pay;
to lower frowning tariff walls, bililt id high that other peo-
ples who want to trade with us can hot dfmb over them;
To deflate 208*eeht dollars to. the end that burdened debt-
OCs may pay their honest debts when due with the same sized
dollars as when their debts irert made; '
fb save the farms of the country from aiietion block,
through government loam on lOng-tline at low rate of inter-
est;
Tb Utilize the nation’s resources to put some of the unem-
ployed ihliHOnS On small farms;
Tb extend help to the hopeless tenant farmers to become
owners, with at least 40 acres and a mule;
fb mobilize America’s power, political, economic and spir-
itual, to rid the race of the nightmare of another world war

these are problems that confront the entire nation and

What office he'seeks, might base his campaign
EMPLOYMENT
A movement to secure enactment of a minimum wage law
for women and children in Texas has been launched as a re-
sult of a survey of labor conditions conducted by the state de-
partment of labor. Instances have been found it is claimed
#H§re Unscrupulous employes have taken advantage of the
glutted labor market to exploit defenseless workers, women
and children particularly being the victims of the condition.
tt is recognized that ih the present emergency all classes of!
people have suffered. Millions of working people through en-1
forced idleness or reduced Incomes have spent their meager j
savings and are dependent upon charitable organizations.'
friends or relatives for food and shelter. Inability to secure
profitable employment has driven them to accept whatever is
b&tred. Men with college degrees, professional men. skilled
Workers and common laborers alike have been made to ac-
cept wages as low as ten cents an hour for long hours of hard
work, it is said. Such a condition if extended over a long pe- j
riod will drive men to desperation.
Men and women want and need employment at a time like
the present. They prefer work to charity It is truly a tragic
situation when this need is exploited.
rage ptrpttnttd by Morales. The
ranchers await their unknown pro-
tector’s word to revolt. Morales,
with the aid of the U. S. Cavalry,
has searched for the bandit in vain.
Ted RidcHffe, an American whose
late father was rained by Morales,
is in love #ith Adela, the Spaniard’*
beautiful niece. Jito, Morales’ ward,

Ted’s friend, tells hint he ha* plans

Without a word he turned and
rede down the elope. As he pacsed
the fallen man, now seated in the
c?nd. the Mexican ‘•cowled up at
him, but made no move. Quietly
Ted rounded up his. cattle.
Jito had not sttfred. He sat his
horse, brooding, watching the Amer-
ican 'with eyes that glowered be-
neath his sombrero.
“Dios.” he muttered at last, “when
will Don Paco give the word?’’
For the next month Ted rode the
southern range wtth Don Bobs
cowboys. They were busy days.
Days that* Don Bob. with careful
foresight, had made so full they
give Ted no chance either to think
or to dream. ,
But as the weeks passed Bob
seemed'more preoccupied, more si-
lent titan before. He sat more often
on the porch of the ranchhouse,
sunk in thought, gazing out over the
detert.
5o it -was Ted found him one
rooming in early spring.
“I heard a rider leaving. Thought
it might be you,” Radcliffe stia.
Don Bob tapped a piece of paper
h his hand. The gray eyes that
looked out over the desert were nar-
rowed to just a hair's breath and
the square jaw seemed a bit more
g-im. . ■ ‘

Bob wared the open letter. “A
r-iher curious message, too, when
you cci;?ider it carefully. There
rrrght seem to be a touch of subtle
iibr.y in.it if one could su-pect the
major of being playful. Tell me

bn led himself with a cigarette.

Slowly Ted laid the letter down

tioned. “This isn’t the first time
the capture of El Coyote has been
just around the corner!
“But what does it mean?-’
“I haven't the least notion. I was
thinking about it when you came
Clue. He may have captured some
of El Coyote’s band—although I
think not. It may be Morales has
learned something and that they’re
planning some sort of dramatics for
the falling curtain of the drama.
Many thing* might happen. But why
the devil does he want me there? lie
knows I'm not in sympathy with
Morale*.” Bob drummed tor a while
on the railing with his fingers. “At
any rate, come with me tonight.” lie
smiled and stretched lazily in the
spring sunshine. “Life can be so
damned interesting at -times and so
terribly dull at others. Til have to
remember both the major and Mo-
rales in my will. In their blundering
way they’ve made this past year
quite endurable,” he added smiling.
But more than once during that
long day Ted saw hfa friend sunk
in puzzled contemplation. Later he
was to look back and realize in ad-
miration ancf sorrow the black hosts
of apprehension that already bore
the man unwelcome company.
Yet at dinner Don Bob seemed in
higher spirits than for many days.
The exultation of danger was upon,
him, and the zest of life sang again
ih his veins. Boredom and half-
contemptuous cynicism were gone.
21 is was the complex character to
whom the presence.of danger is like
wine. It made life, as he said, "en-
durable." So over his coffee Don
Bob hummed a cowboy ballad and.
rising at last, put an cvtra clip of
cartridges in his pocket and exam-
ined the automatic that lay within
his shoulder holster. He smiled,
while Ted looked on with vvat. hfi.l
eyes, conscious of come vague- im-
pending danger.
“Let’s go, old son," he *aid at last.
Bob looked out into the Minsr? and
drew in * deep breath of the warm
desert air. For a momnet his own
eyes were wistful. “\\ hat is it,” he
asked slowly, “that keeps us from
happiness when there is so much
beauty in the world? If any God
exists, He probably dr^pi'es men as
the most ungrateful of- creatures.
Come.”
Many days later Ted was to re-
member those half-whispered words.
They fumed*south just before en-
tering Verdi and struck out on a
winding road that led, after many
turns and twistings, toward the
nearer foothills of Mexico.
“The major has moved camp,”
Bob said, as they drove through the
night. “We can drive within a few
miles of it, and I’ve asked him to
send horses to meet us there.”
Once during that ride Ted turned
and asked, “Bob are you expecting
something to go wrong?”
But the other orrty smiled and
urged the low roadster to greater
speed. “What could go wrong oil
such a perfect evening?” he asked.
It was dark when they drove up
at the road's end. A soldier waited
with two horses already saddled,
and in halt an hour more thev ar-
rived at the cavalry camp.
Everything was a picture of mili-
tary precision. Tbe major, all Verdi
knew, prided himself upon orderli-
ae?«. Nearly a hundred little tents
had been, pitched in neat rows at -a
spot where stunted trees tola of a
waterhole The c-.ie cleared of
cactus and rn.e--qui.te. A half-dozen
rhe's tables, scoured and shining,
-;ood at the farther end. Horses
dozed in a wide corral, and hes-de n
campfire solders lounged. As Don
Bob approached, his eyebrows rose
in a little ge«*ure of surprise, for in
the g’are of the firelight he Could

Then he -purred fr:
ward without waiting for a reply.
Toward the south end of the camp j
three large tents were pitched, and j
before these the major waited. The
old soldier was in high spirits.
