SAN ANGELO April 23.-rCone John-
son of Smith county candidate for the
gubernatorial nomination on the stat-
utory prohibition ticket spoke for
two hours tp"a crowded house this
afternoon championing prohibition
with all his power. He said Polridex
ter was dangerous because he thought
statutory prohibition unconstitutional.
Johnson said his. three rival can-
didates were standing Bide by side In
the middle of the road between the peo
pie and the legislature when the peo.
pie wanted a statewide law;
His advice as tb the reme'dy in this
matter wasr
"Tako Colquitt by the coat collar
Tand throw him out of the road; grab
Davidson by the ear and yank him out
and nab brither Billy Polndexter- by
the seat of tho pants and throw him
out too"
The big crowd laughed heartily and
applauded this humorous utterance
and Johnson went on to say that neith-
er Colquitt nor Davidson would give
the prohibition even if the people
wanted It

DENTON Aprll"53 O. B. 'Colquitt'
gubernatorial candidate severely ar
raigned Governor Campbell ' and his!
policlso In an address hero this after
noon. Ho then proceeded to prod his
opponents In tho race.
He declared prohibition to bo the
priclpal issuo in this campaign be
cause a lot of political agitators haVo
mado it so. Ho devoted tho greater
part or his address to a ueienso or his
anti-prohibition policy
Tho candidate spoke In the district
court room nnd had a largo audience.
This morning ho spoke to tho students
of the North Texas Normal. He spoke
nt Pilot Point tonight.
In his speech at the court house he
dubbed Campbell tho "political cu-
cumbebr who gave Texas the stomach
ache" described Davidson as a "sand
lot politician" and referred to Dr.
Rankin as the "political bishop -of
Texas."
".Knock out drops!" he cried with a
slow and somewhat sneqring drawl.
Texas has beon administering knock-
out drops to the people jfor the pnst
four years it!s been Thomas Mitchell
-Campbell!" Mr. Colquitt hesitated
at each syllable of.. tho three portions
of the Governor's name emphasizing
and applying to them a similar but
more fprciblc inflection than the irony'
o f tone' with w.hlch ho introduced the
subject He added that from exper-
ience ho supposed; Campbell was thor-
oughly acquainted with knock-out
drops and knew what ho was talking
about "I only hope .that he will come
out in the open nnd fight mo so I
will know how to-fight bacV " he said.
Fire Rating Board.
"Here's the Flro Rating Board" he
continued "another one Of Camp-
bell's policies. They make koy rates.
Yes a man in Dallas carries tho key
that unlocks the rates. (Laughter and
applause). Campbell's fighting every-
body who opposes his measures. Well
lio'Jl have to fight nje on that one."
Tho subject- of "political rest" was
not presented with the detail Mr. Col
quitt has sometimes directed to that
theme but referred to "too mahy laws '
and asserted that "wo might dp away
.with the Legislature for a few years
for tho good of TexaB."
"When I am your Governor you. can
come in my offico liko a free American
Citizen he promised ""and you need-
n't be afraid 'of a .Stnte. ranger being;
nt tuo door to search you and seu
whether you're a friend of mine or
not." Applause. A voice That's the
kind of Governor wo warftKl want to
be your Governor but I do not want to
bo your boss and when I'xa Governor
you'll bo my equal when you come to
Austin."
After referring to Johnson and Poln-
dexter the speaker added that "he un-
derstood tho 'political bishop of Tex
as Dr. Rankin hndi issued an edict
tho other day to theso candidates that
they had strayed from their platforms
and warning them to come back to taw.
Polndexter.
"Telegrame are flying around to the
Doctor about Polndexter. They seem
to think ho is going to Jump the Judge
and go to somebody else I don't know
who; maybe Davidson it would hQ
Just ilk? him to ;jump out of tho frying
pan Into the flr'o
"Some of my friends say I ought not
to mention Dr. Rankin and Gov. Camp
boll hecauso they are not candidates
for Governor. They are not but they
are trying to decide who shall bo Gov-
ernor (loud applause) nnd I'm going
tomcat the whole kU.pnd bilin." (Long
applause nmf cheeTs). ''
"Again taking up Mr. Davidson's
cand'idaqy ho asserted that "thero are
a thousand rnrniers in itocBwnu coun-
ty who would mako n bettor Attorney
General." Ho charged Davidson with
having attempted to overthrow both
Hogg and the Railroad Commission
and he added that this offico of Rail-
road Commission was. a better one than
Governor and ho wouldn't be n candi-
date for the latter offico but that no
ono else offered himself as n check to
"this move to sweep demagogues Into
power on a wave of attempted popu-
larity." HeldlBg Office.
"Davidson says in his printed speech
that I ought to resign from my offico
to mako this campaign becaiiBo I might
wield the influence of that offico to
be elected Governor He seeks to
convey tho lmpreeIoa.that I havo bul-
lied the railroads for their support
as a maer "c wuy i w -1
record not while' Dvldd wm 111 it.
Tho Railroad Oommhwfon its not In pott
ilea. It Is the one UeRjittment of the
State Government that is not and I
dery any man to cite A single Instance
whoro exact Juatico has not beeft Ad-
ministered by that body. My record
as Hall road Commissioner Is ono 1 am
not ashamed of and t Invite a full
investigation of my roCord.
"I havo at no time compromised Triy
judgment and duty for pblltlcal effect
regardless of why says so. If I had
wanted to so pervert the office 1 held
I could havo long ago built up a jiolit
teal machine that not A man. In Texas
could havo defeated. For my. record;
on tho Railroad Commission I invite
comparison with D&yldson'd record in
any position ha ever held."
Local OplleH.
Ho pledged tho enforcement of local.
option laws wcro ho. elected Governor
charges to tho contrary notwithstand
ing. He declared that ho was the only
candidate in tho race upholding tho
Constitution as prohibition Bhpuld not
bo n political Issue tho local option
laws having settled that question. Con
cluding ho Indorsod tho separation of
tho penitentiary system from tho Gov-
ernor's offico and tho abandonment of
Btripes.
