BIG OFFENSIVE
OF SESSION TO
GETUNDERWAY
FaFctional Difficulties
Now Looming For
The Last 3 Weeks of
Legislature
AUSTIN, Feb. IS—(JV-The big
offensive of the 43st legislature is |
at hand. The grand rush to pass j
hundreds of bills before sine die ad
journment, only three weeks re
moved, is about to start. Some 300
bills are on the calendar in the '
house, and there remain only 17 !
working days of the regular session, j
if the legislators labor on Washing
ton’s birthday and Saturdays.
Lieutenant Governor Barry Miller
in the senate and Speaker W. S. Bar
ron in the house have taken double
ditch on the reins to cheek a stam
pede which might result in the pas
sing hurriedly of scores of meas
ures which under leisurely consid
eration might be kept from the stat
ute books.
j Off to Sluggish Start
It is customary for legislators to j
start their biennial work with re
luctance an da characteristic to fin
ish up at top speed. This legislature
is no exception to the rule. If any
thing, it got oft to an even more |
sluggish start han many of its pre-1
decessors. But a large amount of
work can be done in the closing days.
Night sessions wiil be Etarted this
week in the house.
The legislature has accomplished
little in big things so far. It has
passed the resolution calling for a
constitutional amendment to in
crease the supreme court membership
to nine, thus accepting one of the
governor's recommendations for
“court reform.” It has rejected the
governor’s suggestion that employees
of the state be placed under the civil
service merit system.
This week it will consider the
highway bond issue proposal and
bills effecting a reorganization and
concentration of the penitentiary
system, both of which are advocated
hy Governor Moody. Interest in the
outcome is keen with the governor
personally active in support of both.
Renew Factional Fight
Although the rivalry between the
two factions who split the democratic
party during the presidential election
was lessened somewhat hy the
house’s defeat of the Mankin hill
barring as candidates in the 1930
party primary anyone who scratched
the ticket last November, the fires
of political differences were renewed
hy Senator A. J. Wirtz of Seguin,
when he sent up a bill signed by lfi
senators—a majority—which would
give the state democratic state ex
ecutive committee increased powers.
Under the present law the commit
tee had the power to “prescribe
qualifications" of candidates or vot
ers in the primaries, but these are
restricted by this language: “Pro
vided that no person shall ever he
denied the right to participate in a
primary in this state because of for
mer political views or affiliations."
Senator Wirtz's bill would delete
i this restriction and permit the com
mittee to go “the whole route,” if it
cares to.
There is a movement on to bring
peace to the party and it was this
aentiment that likely brought about
defeat of the Mankin measure. Some
of the legislators pointed out that
since Senator Love’s bills seeking ,
to give party voters “freedom of con
science” in the matter of adhering
to the pledge, was ruthlessly killed,
to take action such as Representa
tive Luke Mankin of Georgetown
proposed would provoke a breach
that might redound to the advantage
I of Love and his following.

Approximately 15,000 leaders in
educational superintendence from ail
parts of the United States arc ex
pected to be in attendance at the
Cleveland convention. The associa
tion is the largest educational body
, in the United States and its reports

wil preside at the meeting.
Supt. Gotke has hand picked a num
ber of schools along the route to
Cleveland which are giving special
attention to problems that have aris
en in the local school system. He
will visit these institutions to get
first hand information on the new
systems and methods. Houston, New
Orleans, St. Louis, Springfield and
Chicago schools arc included on his
itinerary.
While in Chicago the superintend
ent plans to call on Father Ahern of
DePaul academy. Mutual interest be

FORECAST FOR
GOVERNORSHIP
—
No ‘Administration
Candidate’ Has Been
Produced; List Is
Growing Daily
By S. RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN. Feb. 18.—Gov. Dan
Moody’s administration has proven
unusual in having produced, *o far,
no claimant for the aegis of execu
tive authority as the "administration
candidate.”
This stands out as an exceptional
case in Texas annals, particularly
since the longest rosetr of prospec
tive governorship candidates in the
whole history of the state now beinj^
gradually extended to beyond two
dozen names.
And the actual making of the is
sues and the candidates for selection
of Gov. Mood’s successor is at a more
important stage just now than on pri
mary election day of 1930.
West Texas has many prospective
claimants this time for the govern
orship. There are ct least two wom
en in the list. Present office-holders
represent perhaps half the entire
group, and recent office-holders fig
ure among the rest of the list. But
out of those in public office, not
more than two hold appointive
place in the administration, and only
one—R. S. Sterling of Houston—
holds a statewide office.
List is Impressive
The list of those who have an
nounced for office, have been con
sidered »s probable candidate, or
have been mentioned as potential
governorship race factors when Gov.
Moody's successor is to be nomi
nated. is impressive. Its compila
tion does not represent any indi
viduals will believe that all those
named are possible or probable can
didates; but those listed here have
been suggested or discussed in one
section or another of the state, or
have announced for office. And this
doesn't purport to be a complete list.
Pome of the foremost candidates may
he yet unheard of. Under such a
statement of circumstances, here it
is:
Clau-lo Pollard, attorney general.
R. S. Sterling, chairman of the
state highway commission.
F. G. Senter, announced candidate.
Thomas B. Love, anti-Smith leader.
Alvin S. Moody. Love lieutenant.
R. L. Bobbitt, former speaker, now

Mexico Denies
Rebellion Rumor
NOGALES, Ariz.. Feb. 18.—m—
Mexican federal official* in Nogales,
Sonora, today denied rumors of an
impending revolutionary outbreak. .
The rumors became current gossip
on both sides of the international
line when General Francisco Manzo,
federal troop commander, arrived in
Nogales with three automobiles car
rvirg soldiers. The general’s arrival
in such fashion was looked upon by
the inhabitants of the Mexican town
as unusual. Manzo when entering
Nogales on official business, ordin
arily has done so by train.
The rumors were to the effect that
Manzo had declined to accept orders
from a higher command that he had
dispatch part of hi* troops to other
points in Mexico. He was to have re
fused on the ground that troop con
centration in Fonora wns important
because of the Yaqui Indian menace.
Gossip was passed from mouth to
mouth of a protected attempt at dawn
tomorrow, on the part of Manzo, to
take the federal custom* house in
Nogales. Sonora, as the opening
wedge of a revolutionary movement.

BRITISH SEEK I
OFFSET FOR
HOOVER TRIP
#
Government Plans On
Drive To Obtain
Trade In South
American Nations
By BATES RANEY
(Aisoriitfd Presa Staff Writer)
' LONDON, Feb. 22.—As a counter
move to President-elect Hoover's
good will visit to South America,
Lombard Street is quietly calling for
a more enterprising investment of
British capital in Argentina.
British merchants fear that their
commercial stronghold in South
America is threatened by Americans
and Germans. Indeed, this is frank
ly admitted in a report just made by
H. O. Chalkley, the commercial coun
sellor of the British embassy in
Buenos Aires.
Predominance Omitted
In some departments of trade the
United States has secured a predomi
nance from which it is becoming in
creasingly difficult to oust her. She
is now by far the largest importer
into Argentina, and in 11)27 her total
sales exceeded those of the United
Kingdom by approximately |35,
000.000, or, roughly, 25 per cent. In
certain classes of goods, such as
motor vehicles, the United States is
easily supreme.
Germany is also a very formidable
competitor, especially in electrical
equipment. Only in coal, ship
building and shipping does Britain
hold her own.
In connection with the quiet
though authoritative propaganda now
being released among British bankers
in an effort to spur British invest
ment in Argentine, it is curious to
note the widely divergent points of
view held by British and American
investors in that part of the world.
Americans have invested almost
wholly in public loans, w-hile British
ers have preferred to invest almost
exclusively in public utilities and
enterprises. The Englishman is a
firm believer in the adage “trade fol- .
lows capital.” His policy has been
to furnish the finances for great
public works like the Argentine rail
roads or telephone systems and then
insist that the control of these pro
jects remain in British hands and he
supplied with British goods. The
American has been content to get his
6 or 8 per cent on capital invested
and let the trade and control take
care of itself.
Witn the United States and Great
Britain now cast in the roles of ri
vals in an intense struggle to cap
ture world trade the Argentine the
ater of operations is going to bear
watching during the next few years
by anyone interested in interna
tional economies.
American investors recently made
tempting offers to shareholders of
British companies to aeouire their
interests in Argentina public utility
enterprises, and the campaign now
being made by British hankers to in
I fluence these shareholders to resist
the offers on “patriotic” grounds is
some reflection of the intensity of
the conOnercial struggle now going
on in the Latin American republic.
Some idea of the British commer
cial activities in Argentina may he
Moaned from Mr. Uhalklcy’s report.
He points out that the construction
of a system of grain elevators to sub
stitute the present practice of trans
porting grain in bags, which has
been under consideration for the last
| 20 years, has at last been submitted
| to congress. The project will cost
about S80.COO.OOO.

HOO VER GOES
TO CAPITAL
Speculation Rife A 8
To Causes of Early
Return
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., Feb. 18.—t/P)
—President-elect Hoover ended his
month's vacation in Florida today
and is due to reach Washington to
morrow by special train to await his
inauguration.
Since most presidents-elect have
waited until the day before March 4
to enter the national capital, Mr.
Hoover's decision to go back thir
teen days before the end of the ad
ministration ©f Calvin Coolidge has
furnished still another subject for
speculation.
Some say he is having difficulties
in determining upon the complete
personnel of his cabinet; others
that some of the congressional
leaders are not satisfied with his
plans regarding the farm relief

Discoverer of Gordon'*
No longer need sufferers from
stomach troubles lead lives of mis
ery. There is a remedy that is
bringing thousands back to health.
That remedy is Gordon’s (formerly
Gordon’s Antiseptic), an internal
antiseptic so effective that it has
brought voluntary expressions of
praise from hundreds of people
who unhesitatingly ccmmena it to
others.
Gordon’s goes right to the seat
of the trouble because it stops fer
mentation (souring of food mat
ter), which is the greatest obstacle
to the successful treatment of
stomach disorders.
Gordon’s will bring quick relief
in cases of indigestion, sour stom
ach, gas, bloating constipation,
heartburn, dyspepsia, excess acid,
that “tired feeling,’’ bad breath,
sick headache, and nervousness,
when caused by faulty digestion. It
will soon one up the digestive or
gans and stimulate the stomach and
bowels to their normal functions.
The first dose will convince you.
Gordon’s is made In liquid form.
A large 8-ounce bottle, price $1.50
—less than 3 cents a dose at
druggists.
