O'DANIEL MAKES POLITICAL
pi&rORY BY HIS ELECTION
W. Lee O'Daniel, salesman-businessman, not only
<yunpaigned for the office of governor and won but
wrote political history at the same time. His feat of
winning the office in the first primary is unique and
never before accomplished since the double primary
has been in use.
Texas has elected a businessman for governor.
One who has well demonstrated his knowledge of
business affairs through years of experience. As
president of the Fort Worth chamber of com-
merce he assumed the leadership of businessmen
in one of our most important cities. These facts
are mentioned because in speaking of O'Daniel
the tendency has been to place emphasis on his
method of conducting a campaign rather than his
real qualifications. O'Daniel will go into the
governor's office with a business background, that
has been possessed by few of his predecessors.
The newly elected governor is entitled to the sup-
port and cooperation of all other state offices. His
popular vote without benefit of any political alliances
is evidence that the people expect just that. Texas
voters have demonstrated that no one in political of-
fice can assume a vested right but must answer to
the people, it may be a rude awakening to some but
it was plainly written in the voting booths last Sat-
urday.
O'Daniel will enter on his official duties with the
majority of the people behind him. They wish him
well. With such undoubted backing he is a long
way on the road to u successful administration.
LARGE BOXES DELAYED
IN COMPLETING COUNTS
From the newspaper man's standpoint election day
is one of trials and tribulations, for assembling data
on the outcome of the many contests is no small task.
It becomes all the more difficult when after an all
night vigil some returns fail to materialize. The public
is eager for the information but cannot be given it
until the ballots have been counted.
It would appear from Saturday's experience that
more polling places are necessary for Sweetwater
and Roscoe so as to distribute the large bulk of
votes into smaller units. In Sweetwater Precinct
No. 1 it was necessary for counters to continue
their work for most of the Sabbath after working
part of the night. Sweetwater No. 5 election offi-
cials worked into the morning hours of Sunday to
complete counting of returns. While the length of
the ballot had its effect of slowing down counting
this is likely to happen most any time in the fu-
ture.
This is not intended as criticism of anyone connect-
ed with holding elections. It is intended purely to
stimulate interest in solving a problem for the public
good.

BACKSTACE IN WASHINGTON
By Itodncy Dutclier
WASH 1NGTON—'The po-
litical primary season gets
started in a big way dur-
ing the first week of Aug-
ust and thereafter the with-
ered aspirations of New
Deal and anti-New Deal
candidates will be found
dotting the landscape from
coast to coast.
Kansas, Missouri, Virgin-
ia, and West Virginia nom-
inate congressional and oth-
er party candidates Aug. 2.
Tennessee Democrats pick
equivalent-to-election candi-
dates for senator and gov-
ernor Aug. 4. The week ends
Aug. 6 with the great Dem-
ocratic classic in Kentucky
between the New Deal's
"Dear Allien" Barkley and
Gov. "Happy" Chandler.
Here are the high spots:
Missouri: Senator Bennett
Champ Clark, sturdy New
Deal foe and 1940 presiden-
tial possibility, has been
conceded Democratic renom-
ination and election for
many weeks. Roosevelt left
this one alone.
Former Speaker Willis
Meredith of Missouri Jiou.se
"proud to be a Roosevelt
rubber stamp," and Joe Dav-
is. St. Louis lawyer, may
poll a big pro-Roosevelt pro- *
test vote against Clark.
But Clark has all the or-
ganized political support in
the state, including that
of the Pendergast machine.
He profits from friendship
of Jim Parley, who made
public appearances with
Clark when the latter
stumped the state after
leading the anti-Court plan
;'ight in the senate last year.
New Dealers could find no
candidate to take Clark's
measure after popular Char-
lie Hay, railroad labor law-
yer and one of his 1932 op-
ponents, refused to try.
Branded by opponents a
"renegade Democrat," Clark
tells voters he won't be boss-
ed but approves most New
Deal policies.
Republicans, many of
whom will vote for Cl^'k
both in August and Novem-
ber, are nominating former
Gov. Henry Caul field.
Meanwhile, Democratic Gov.
Stark and Boss Tom Pen-
dergast fight for control of
the state in a contest ov-
er a Supreme Court judge-
ship, with Stark charging
VVPA is taking sides with
the Pendergast machine.
Virginia: Congressman
Howard Smith of the Eighth
District, adjacent to Wash-
ington, is first of three
members of the House
Rules committee — which
tried to bury the wage-hour
bill—marked for defeat by
New Dealers and labor lead-
ers.
His opponent is young
William E. Dodd, Jr., son
of the former ambassador
to Germany, running on a
100 pel' cent Roosevelt plat-
form and accusing Smith
of opposing Roosevelt mea-
sures persistently. Farley
has indicated preference for
Dodd. Smith, backed by the
Byrd machine talks of
"Communism." Result may
hinge on extent of support
administration gives Dodd
in last few days.
Kansas: Senator George
McGill, loyal New Dealer,
and Democratic Gov. YV. A.
Huxman will be renominat-
ed. Big fight is for Republi-
can senatorial nomination
between former Gov. Clyde
Reed, a progressive at odds
with the Landon-.Iohn Ham-
ilton group, and Clergyman
Gerald Winrod of Wichita,
who seems well financed.
Prominent Kansas pastors
have urged congressional
investigation of Winrod as
a Hitler-Mussolini propa-
gandist. Huxman will be
opposed for election by for-
mer Lieut.-Gov. Charles W.
Thompson, the likely G. O.
P. choice.
West Virginia: Six House
members are up for renom-
i nation.
Tennessee: Senator George
IBerry and Gov. Gordon
Browning, political buddies,
are teamed up against At-
torney General Tom Stewart
and Prentice Cooper, law-
yer, veteran, and former
state senator. Berry and
Browning are backed by
the state machine; Stewart
and Cooper by Ed Crump's
Memphis machine, the New
Deal, and partisans of TVA.
A Browning commission is
purging registration lists in
Crump territory with alleg-
ed senatorial disclosures.
Berry, who attacks New
Deal spending and other
policies, is doomed, accord-
ing to most reports here.
Kentucky: Newspapers
have been full of the Bark-
ley-Chandler fight and will
continue to be. Barklley is
the favorite because of Roo-
sevelt's whole-hearted pub-
lic endorsement, but some
of his friends fear the size
of the Chandler campaign
chest, piled high by levies
on state employes and al-
leged contributions from
eastern anti-Roosevelt sour-
ces.
Governor Chandler cam-
paigns furiously, with sup-
port of a powerful state
machine as opposed to the
federal machine, and refus-
es to accept the Barkley
challenge to criticize the
New Deal. One of the great-
est hand-shakers and most
prolific speech-makers in
politics Chandler probably
would defeat the ponderous
Barkley if it were not for
Roosevelt support. A Chan-
dler victory would be the
worst political defeat Roo-
sevelt ever suffered.
The mos; efficient speed for a
motor car, so far as economy is
j concerned, is between 25 and
I 15 miles an hour. Beyond that
I (joint you have to burn a lot of
j gas and oil to get extra miles.

! ter of roads were introduced in

How a Nation Was
Moved Westward
WfHEN Americans spoke of the
"west" just 150 years ago they
meant the quarter-million square
miles of wilderness that stretched
between the Great Lakes, the
Mississippi on the west, and the
Ohio liver on the south.
Originally this vast virgin area
was claimed by four states on the
basis of grants from the King of
England or treaties with the In-
dians. Virginia, Connecticut and
Massachusetts, for example,
claimed the right to extend west-
ward as far as possible, conceiv-
ably to the Pacific^ Connecticut
clung to the 6000 square miles of
the "Western Reserve" until 1800.
On July 13, 1787, a harassed
Congress passed the Ordinance ot
1787, for "governing the Territory
northwest of Ohio." It guaranteed
religious freedom, right of trial by
jury, public schools, and freedom
from slavery. In December of
that year Gen. Rufus Putnam
started an expedition overland
from Massachusetts, through
Pennsylvania, down the Ohio to
Fort Harmon. Here was estab-
lished the outpost and town named
for Marie Antoinette, Marietta. In
a year 20,000 came to the new
country. Today 25,000,000 live in
this area and the nation has gone
still farther westward. -
Marking the 150th anniversary
of the establishment of civil gov-
ernment in the Northwest Terri-
tory is the U. S. commemorative
stamp above, enlarged.

Czech Integrity
Is Threatened
I 'RAG UK— (UP) —Fears that
Czechoslovak integrity may be
sacrificed to an Anglo-German
agreement spread today among
leaders of the government's
coalition parties following Brit-
ain's direct request to Premier
Milan Hodza for "greater conces-
sions" to the Sudeten Ger-
man minority.
The position of Konrad Hen-
lein, Sudeten leader who is de-
manding satisfaction of his auto-
nomy demands before any par-
liamentary action is taken on
Hodza's proposed minority re-
form statute, appeared to have
been considerably strengthened
as a result of the visit by the
British ambassador, Basil Coch-
rane-Newton, to the premier.
Britain Finn Stand
The British envoy, acting on
direct instructions from London
where Prime Minister Neville
Chamberlain moved swiftly in
laying the ground work for re-
storation of friendship with Ger-
many, was said to have stressed
that the Prague government
should maintain its discussions
with the Sudetens, even at the
cost of greater concessions.
Britain's new firm stand and
attitude that Czechoslovakia has
not shown conciliation in deal-
ing with Henlein served to place
Hodza in a delicate position.
Struggling as few Czechoslo-
vak premiers have been forced
to struggle in the last 20 years,
Hodza succeeded in squeezing a
list of concessions from the ard
ently nationalistic coalition par-
ties supporting him in connec-
tion with minority reform.
