TARVERMANTO
‘BEAT BOLTERS’
Editor Advances Corsicana
Lawyer as Candidate
For Governor
--
(BY RAYMOND BROOKS)
GEORGETOWN, Sept. 27.—W. A.
Tarver, chairman of the state In
surance commission, was proposed
as a candidate for governor to “beat
the bolters," by editor John M.
Sharpe of the Williamson County
Sun. He was advocated by editor
Sharpe as “the strongest candidate
it is possible to secure,” to carry
through the doctrine announced by
D. W. Wilcox of Georgetown, demo
cratic state chairman, that party
bolters last year will be barred as
candidates for democratic nomina
tion next year.
Mr. Tarver, Corsicana lawyer, be
came chairman pf the state insur
ance commission a few months ago.
He was Gov. Dan Moody's tentative
selection for permanent chairman
of the Beaumont state convention
last year.
Mr. Sharpe declared “every move
on the political checkerboard makes
the call more Insistent for W. A.
Tarver to become a candidate for
governor.”
“As a statesman, Tarver stands
head and shoulders above any Tex
an on the political horizon," Mr.
Sharpe declared. “He is an orator,
a democrat without affixes or pre
fixes.
“He has been a prohibition leader
in the state for years."
Sterling Almost
AUSTIN, Sept. 28 —R. S. Sterling
of Houton was made “a practically
certain candidate” for governor
when R. L. Bobbitt, a potential can
didate, accepted the attorney gener
alship. State Treasurer W. Gregory
Hatcher, announced candidate for
governor, asserted.
Mr. Hatcher declared the plan of
Chairman Sterling of the highway
commission for a statewide bond is
sue will be “a leading issue" in the
governor's race.
“In opposing the loading of an
enormous debt on the people of
Texas," Hatcher said, “I am rend
ering timely public service. He
challenged candidates supporting
the bond plan to meet him in joint
debate.
Mr. Hatcher asserted that “the
columns of nearly every newspaper
in Texas have been flooded with
propaganda Intended to create pub
lice sentiment in favor of he pro
posal of Sterling to issue state
bonds for building of highways."
“The election of the next governor
of Texas,” Hatcher said, “will be
a leading issue in the 1930 guber
natorial campaig, if not the lead
ing issue, and he or someone named
by him who advocated this pro
posal. will be a candidate for gov
omer.”
