DOES NOT REFUTE ANYTHING.
The Courier publishes in another
aplace a letter from Captain E. A.
Bolmes appearing in the Galveston
{News, but in reply to statements
appearing in the San Antonio Ex-
/press and purporting to have been
made by Governor Colquitt at San
Angela Captain Bolmes' letter
-■does not refute anything heretofore
. appearing in this paper or said by
«Governor Colquitt in his Crockett
. speech. The captain does not give
the date of filing his application for
¿To-appointment Governor Colquitt
.* says that when he wait into the

governors, made up
appointments. When

informed
Mr. Bolmes that he did not want to |
dispossess him and to remain in
office until his two years expired.
But Governor Colquitt was receiving
letters daily in regard to the matter
and felt that the public service de- j
manded the captain's resignation.
The captain refused to resign, but I
later resigned as a voluntary act, as
he so states. It is true that Cap-
tain Bolmes did not issue the war-
rants to Confederate veterans, but i
the papers had to go through his
office before the warrants could be
issued. The rest of the captain's]
letter, as taken from the News, is
trivial and of little consequence.
The whole truth of the matter is
that Captain Bolmes, though a
brave and honored Confederate sol-
dier, had passed his usefulness in a
clerical position ¿nd for the better-
ment of the service the place had
to be given to a man more active.
The governor, in the discharge of
his appointive power, did not hesi-
tate to act when, as it seemed to
him, duty demanded action.
The Courier would like to see
John L Wortham relumed as rail-
road commissioner. On account of
his long residence in east Texas he
is known to many of our people as
one of the state's ablest and best
men. As superintendent of the
state penitentiary system, he was
foremost in the prosecution of those
who misused the state's penitentiary
funds and in his present capacity
as railroad commissioner he is
making an excellent officer. He
has always taken an active part in
every movement for the upbuilding
of ¡the state and the advancement
of the best interests of the people.
He wears his democracy straight, as
becomes a true patriot.

Randeil the One Democrat.
- Early in May, speaking of the as-
pirations of Hon. C. B. Randeil to
succeed Senator Joseph W. Bailey
in the senate of the United States,
The Tribune ventured this predic-
tion: "The state democratic con-
vention, that is to assemble in
Houston on May 23, will write a
platform substantially if not literally
in line with the principles and pol-
icies that Mr. Randeil has urged for
years, and with splendid courage
and a steadfastness of purpose, on
the floor of the lower house of con-
gress. It cannot be othewise, for as
a member of the house Randeil
stood for and stands for now the
principles and policies that are in
favor with the dominent, the truly
representative element of Texas
democracy.
The state convention has assem-
bled and its utterances are before
the people. Take the platform and
read it carefully, comparing its de-
ticular that Randeil has fought for [
on the floor of the House. Hear
these words, that are in the Texas
Democratic platform:
"A representative democracy can
only be preserved by the represent-
ative representing the people alone,
and he ought not, during his term
of office, to accept employment
from favor-seeking corporations or
interests, and this principle should
be enacted into the law."
Time has brought Mr. Randeil
vindication and recognition from
the democracy of his home state
and after a manner that is all to
his credit. Texas legislatures, Tex
as democratic conventions ánd
even the democrats in congress
have denied it to him, but, now in
the fullness of time it comes. The
conscience of the party has been
challenged and the response is one
to afford gratification to all patri
clarations with those that Mr. Ran- ot*c men
dell has made for years on the tar-
iff, on trusts, on privilege, on direct
action of the people—in all essen-
tial particulars—and note the simi-
larity. The Texas platform is in
remarkable accord with Congress-
man Randeil as to principles and
measures. It will not be claimed
that he led the way and that the
party has gone to him. Mr. Ran-
deil would not desire such a claim
made for him. The explanation is
that there has been accord all along,
but this is the first opportunity in
years that the party has made really
representative and courageous ex-
pression. The Texas conventions in
1908 and 1904 (that dealt with
federal or national questions) were
influenced and dominated by men
who are not now dominant and who
were not then or now in accord
with Randeil.
The Texas democrats on Wednes-
day declared, and the applause was
deafening, for one principle in par-
RandeH is the one man, a candi
date for the United States Senate
from Texas, who is a Democrat in
the sense that the state convention
of 1912 defines democracy, and the
party will be consistent, it will show
courage and do the state service
and itself credit by sending Mr.
Randeil to the United States Senate
as the successor of Mr. Bailey.
