THE OFFICES—THE PEOPLE.
In days not far past, when a man
was elected to an office for one or
several times, he would often coo*
~ WufW people rfwed him th*
office or more properly that he owned
the office. Sometimes the people
granted the claim and elected the
same man year after year. This
condition of things are now a part of
the dusty past. The people have
come to know that all offices belong
to them and it is for the people, the
voters, to say upon whom the emolu-
ments and honors shall be conferred.
No man has a right to claim that be-
cause he now occupies an office that
be should again be elected, even if
he has had such office for only a
short time or even one term. But
there is now a peculiar condition
existing in the Court of Appeals at
Amarillo. The three men now hold-
ing the judgeships were appointed by
the governor' ugder constitutional
authority, aod they accepted the ap-
pointment with the full knowledge
that such appointments were only
for a short time and ur.til the people
could elect three men of their own
choice. The same constitutional
authority that put the present in-
cumbents into office, reserves to the
people the right and privilege to
name the officers at the first election,
and tbey are now getting ready to
exercise that right. Because these
men are appointees of the governor,
establishes no claim, right or title to
(offices. In fact, they accepted the
places with the understanding that
these terms would expire with the
first general election. True, it is
certainly a high compliment to be a
preferred appointee of the governor
of the great state of Texas, but it is
a greater honor and a more general
honor to be chosen by the expressed
will of the sovereign people of that
great commonwealth. Then why
should the present incumbents of the
Amarillo Court deny any man the
right to offer himself for one of the
places? If they have made good
and efficient officers, well done, and
this should be their appeal for the
votes of the people. Let them stand

WHO'S WHO NOW IN TEXAS.
The Texas Democratic party
seems to have been completely cap-
tured by Wilson advocates, at least
they dominated the Houston conven-
tion in a manner that indicated that
they were in the saddle, booted and
spurred. To indicate what they in-
tend may be seen from the names of
some of the most prominent delegates
to the Baltimore convention: C. A.
Culberson, Cone Johnson, Tom Ball,
T. M. Campbell, Bob Henry, M. M.
Crane, Marshall Hicks. These are
the Delegates-at-Large from Texas
and tells who's who in no uncertain
terms.
The Arizona legislature has pass-
ed a resolution favoring the amend-
ment to the National Constitution,
the first state to approve the measure
since it was prepared by Congress.
: i
The Tulia Herald has a new
manager and editor in the person of
L. D. Webster. The Brand is not
personally acquainted with Mr.
Webster, but judging from the first
issue under his management, the
Herald has a strong hand at the
belfn.
Tor news item as to the building
of the Lubbock-Texico Cutoff is
showing up more quickly than ex-
pected. A clipping from the Clovis
Journal states that work will begin
in three weeks. This road will pass
thru some very fine country in Lamb
and Bailey counties. The line will
touch near Hurley, Texas, in Bailey
county.
For Judge Lancaster.
Without a single exception, all of
the North and Central Texai weekly
papers, which hive had occasion to
discuss the Congressional race situa-
tion, have made favorable comment
and endorsement of the Plainview
man. The people as well as the
country and city papers concede that
tbe Panhandle is entitled to one of
the congressmen-at-large. and that
one should be, so they all say, no
one but Lancaster. The Cleburne
Chronicle, a widely read and influen-
tial paper, says jn connection with
"scrap" between the two Panhandle
candidates: \
Judge Lancaster was urged
through the Press to make the race
for Congress, but he would not con-
sent to do so until it was made clear
that no one else would make it.
Judge Lancaster went tr Amarillo,
the political headquarters of the
Panhandle, and in a conference wjth
her citizens stated that if tbey nad
anybody who would make the race
for congressman at large, name
him, aod he (Lancaster) would not
run. At the conclusion of the con-
ference Judge Lancaster was inform-
ed that they could find one who was
willing to incur the expense and lose
the time necessary to make the race,
and the Amarillo people would (.up-
port him. With this assurance
Judge Lancaster resigned tlyi presi-
dency of a local bank in /Plainview
and early in November^GbHshed his
platform, and has /been actively
campaigning the yitats since that
time, and his pleat in behalf of the
TOSS
Panhandle and the West is responsi-
ble for the wide spread sentiment
over the state hi favor of the Pan-
handle and the West having one of
the congressmen to be elected at
large.
After Judge Lancaster succeeded
in building up this sentiment, and
victory was in sight, Judge Browning
holding on to his office, decided to
and did enter the race. In doing so he
is not only unfair to Judge Lancas-
ter, but is against the interest of his
section of the state. The Chronicle
believes in fair play and thinks "the
laborer is worthy of his hire" and
believes Judge Lancaster should be
recognized as the original Panbuidle
candidate. , ,

More Said.
A. C. Elliott, the editor of the
splendid Hereford Brand, has decid-
ed to save his country and will go to
the next state legislature, at least
we suppose he will. Up to this time
we understand he has no opponent
although it is generally understood
that J. C. Hunt of Canyon will be a
candidate to succeed himself. If is
out of our district and we are out of
politics. Although unlike some of
our newspaper associates, we do not
object to the association of a candi-
date in either public or private.
Elliott would make a good represen-
tative and we believe will be elected.
—Candidian Record, May 16.
Editor A. C. Elliott of the Here-
ford Br^nd has announced as a can-
didate for representative in the 123rd
district. This means a fig jt between
Mr. Elliott and Judge J. C. Hunt of
Canyon. Mr. Elliott has been on
the Plains six years and has made a
great success in the newspaper busi-
ness. He was formerly engaged in
school work in which line he was
also very successful. Mr. Elliott
has the interest of our entire coun-
try at heart and if elected would
make a good representative. The
candidate from Canyon, Mr. Hunt,
served in the legislature for one term.
He was very successful during the
term and has made many friends
who will work for his return.—Can-
