There were several othr questions raised that received no consideration. One of these wss to whether the court had the right to grant an injunction enjoining from violation of the Sunday law when there waa no statute granting the express authority. Mussett also claimed that he was pot a party to the proceedings and that he became proprietor of the moving picture show after the offense alleged liad been committed.

The suit involved the proceedings by Dorchester et al to recover $158.1 33 on a verified account against the Texas Lamp and OH Company A draft for the amount was passed through the clearing house and presented after withdrawal of funds from bank.

TatbaPaat: aocordajca with a tlma boaorad ematom that candldatea preeeat their lewa and clalma to tba people through that great medium of publicity, tha preea, I crave that Indulgence aa a eaadWata for the Damoeratie nomlnatioa for Uaw tenant Governor at tha July Rfimartea to succeed Will H. Mayea. The eonatltutlonal roqulramenta for aa eligible to thla office ara ooequal with that of QoTemor. Thla was a wise prortalea by the tramera of tha constitution; for, "ta tha case of death, resignation, removal from office. Inability or refusal of tha Governor to serve, or of his Impeach-mnt, or absence from the State, the Lieutenant Governor shall exercise the powers and authority appertaining to tba office of Governor.

I am a Jefferaontan Democrat with decidedly progressive tdeaa to conform to modern oondlUona. I am net the candidate of any clique or faction, aad I recognise only the vote of the people as being the sole court of arbitration ovur personal and factional strife within the ranks of the party to which 1 have always been affiliated. Aa the highest tribunal la tha people, ao Government founded on their righte can exiet aa a tree government when a favored few. arrogate to themselves the prerogative of dictating means by which they caa obtain thalr own aelhsh ends. It has been aa unwritten law among the politicians that It la an Impertinence, a bold effrontery to their cast, for any one to aspire to office who deigns to soil his handa with honest toll.

And If from the ranks of the "common people." aa the boodlera and demagogues style the working class, ona dares to raise his voice. It la drowned by the thunderous roar of their stentorian tones, "He Is not one of.ua." though very careful ara they thai the echo reaches not to the fields. But )ol a benign fate decreed that I ahould be a toller and soil my hands among the "common people." I appreciate fully the fact that If I possessed tha meana I. too, could employ a secretary to carry on a splendid campaign of publicity, and could eaaily, readily, atep In a favored eminence among the would-be slate makers, dlctatora and favored onea; If I were a "lord of wealth," I would be applauded and courted by them. I own, w(th pardonable pride, that my greatest aaset Is the ability an Inherent nature endowed ma with.

Thoae natural endowments, what few I fortunately possess, were carefully directed and trained by a painstaking mother and father during early childhood; and I have alnce. by many years of careful atudy and persistent application, with always a defl-nate purpose In view, attained a atate where 1 can be of some service to my fellowman in a broader sphere. That sphere la in the office second only to the Governor of this State. I would acorn the honor attendant upon the office of Lieutenant Governor If I had no higher conception of Its duties than as a medium through which to further the enda of greed and gain, or to enhance my own aggrandisement by unworthy actions to gratify ambition. No emolument could be adequate retribution for besmirching my character by fatthlaaanaM.

to a sacred trust repoaed In me by the people. To give the best there ia In me to help expurgate a rampant syatem from this Stale whose sole object Is the unholy gratification of selfish ends; to do my part toward the elevation of an enlightened womanhood from the base of freehold chattels to the honored place of cltlxen; to use my Influence for a law that will make It a crime for a land owner to demand, accept, or offer or accept a bonus from a renter (anything above one-third of corn and one-fourth of cotton, or their equivalents, to be considered bonus); to exert my utmost endeavors to have a law engraved on' the statute books of Texas whereby It will be a felony for any man, or set. or company of men, engaged In the manufacture of any article, or engaged In the Jobbing or wholesale business to stipulate or dictate the minimum retail price of any article handled by merchants (this can be done by enacting a State supplemental law conforming to the antitrust law); to give my efforts toward a compulsory school attendance law; to do my best lo influence the Legislature to establish trades and vocational schools over the State; to see an Increase In the average pay of teachers, and Introduce a graduated scale In their wages slmilsr to the Civil Service Department of the Ns-tional Government; to give my best efforts toward an employer's liability act similar to those In fore in certain States now; to punish men instead of shunning the punishment on the corporations. These are some of the reforms I stand for. and promise to work for In the event I am elected.

They are not the Utopian ideas of a bewildered dreamer, hut innovations the exigencies of conditions absolutely demand. It is not the number of laws, nor clans legislation the welfare of thla commonwealth demands; but a few drastic measures, and some that will effectually end the encroachment of the hold on all means and ends a few endeavor to arrogate to themselves. To make a clean race; to put the honor of a gentleman above unworthy ambition Is my motto; not might, but right, my A friend of mine whose Intentions doubtlesa were good, admonshed me in this wise: "Never lncure the displeasure of a single demagogue; If you do, you court certain defeat They are well organised and they will line up to a man against you. Align yourself with them If you want In office." Never. If that be true, I hurl my defiance In their very teeth.

Never will I sacrifice a principle to popularity. That man had a wrong conception of ay equity. And, If I receive the nomination for Lieutenant Governor on the 26th of next July, which Is equal to an election, I will prove myself worthy of the trust reposed In me. Andrew 8. Jamison.
