THE ROTAN COMPANY
Fort Stockton, Texas
Texas Democrats Progressive
State Senator F. C. Weinert, of
Sequin, is an anti-prohibitionist,
and a member of the Texas Har-
mon organization, but he is able
to appreciate a political avalanche
when he meets it in the middle of
the highway. He sees victory
for Woodrow Wilson in Texas,
and is satisfied that the forty
delegates from Texas to the
National Democratic Convention
at Baltimore, will be instructed
for Wilson. To a reporter of the
San Antonio Express he said:
“I have just returned from a
business trip into Northern and
Northeastern Texas. I did not
go on politics, but I took occa-
sion frequently to make inquiries
as to the lay of the political land.
I feel convinced now there is
absolutely nothing to it, so far as
Texas, at least, is concerned, but
Woodrow Wilson. Friends of the
New Jersey Governor got into
the field early. They have per-
fected an organization practically
everywhere. They appear to me
undoubtedly to have the great
mass of the voters with them, ft
looks almost like a waste of time
and effort to oppose Wilson in-
struction in Texas.
The Democrats of North Texas
are Progressives, and will vote
fora Progressive for Governor of
Texas, just as they expect to vote
for a Progressive Democrat for
President. That means that they
will vote for Woodrow Wilson for
President and W. K. Ramsey for
Governor. And Cone, Johnson’s
prospects of succeeding Senator-
Bailey in the United States Sen-
ate, as a Progessive, are highly
encouraging.—State Democrat.
Would-be Rescuer is Killed.
Mobile, Ala., March ‘22.— In an
iffort to atop a runa" ay horse
md save two women from death
it injury, Mathew Nees, an 1H-
rear-old boy of ('hichton. Ala.,
rsa instantly killed. He was
ram pled to death. Neither wo-
Ban was seriously hurt.

Trebled in Value.
Our boosters may boost Texas
and tell of the wonderful possibili-
ties of the Lone Star State, our
poets may sing of the glories of
the grand old commonwealth, but
when we want to get down to
rock-bottom facts, facts upon
which to base calculations where
dollars and cents are concerned,
we hunt up Uncle Sam's statistics.
The federal government has just
issued a bulletin on Texas agri-
culture, which contains the fol-
lowing sentence: “During the
decade (1900-11)10) the average
value of land per acre increased
from $4.70 to $14.53, or more
than trebled.”
To the man with money to in-
vest this simple sentence speaks
in louder and more convincing
tones than the megaphone voice
of the booster and the siren songs
of the sweetest singer.
