to mind.
•> i Holloway graduated from the Uni-
versity of Texas law school, was
delegate to a Y.M.C.A. convention
in Europe and then went to Eastland
to serve as assistant district attor-
ney. One morning a plain!y-dr,ssec,
middle-aged woman whose features
told a story of hardship and lack
of opportunity entered. He did not
recognize her as having been de-
fendant in a sensational case some
time previously when she was ac-
quitted because of unsoundness of
mind nor did he know that her
neighbors, with a queer idea of
humor, had told her that, if she
took possession of a piece of land
and held ft for four years, the |
State would buy it from her.
After the young lawyer had lis- |
tened long enough to see that his 1
visitor had nothing to present which \
was any business of the district J
attorney's office, he said:
“There’s nothing we can do.”

chairman of the Stale Democratic Exec-
utive committee and co-chairman of the
Texae Garuer-for-President committee
"We are convinced, from the deluge

at W .tales, but from the entire na-

om Georgia to the Southwest are are
^siting the most enthusiastic protesta-
tions of friendship and admiration for
our stalwart Texas statesman. —
“Mr. Garner’s way of thinking has cap-
tured the public imagination of the
middle ground of America’s straight-
thinking eitiaenry. If the politicians do
not listen to the voice of the people In
1M0,1 predict that the Democratic party
at an organization won’t be worth (hoot-
ing. 1 have heard many comments
the politicians are going to pick the
candidates for both the Democratic
Republican partis*. My advlea to them
in both parties Is to listeo to what the
people are thinking. If they don’t bead
the daep longings of the man of Amer-
ica’s citizenry, they will be politically
dead after the next election. 1 repeat:
If the Democratic politicians attempt to
thwart the will of the people In the next
convention, the party of JefTersen and
Jackaan won’t be worth the effort to pul
It out of Its misery.”
In outlining the strength tat he claims
for the Texan. Mr. Germany pointed out
that out of 1,100 votes In the Democratic
loot-

convention, the south and border states
will furnish Mr. Garner aritb 2M, the
chief block of which is represented by
the 40 votes from Texas The southwest
and western states without counting
California, and taking but two of the
farm states Nebraska and Wisconsin,
.will yield Mr. Garner a total of 401 votes
“Now I am not including in this fore-
cast of 401 the 210 additional votes indi-
cated from the states of New York.
Pennsylvania and California,* declared
Mr. Germany. The Gallup poll in the Iasi
three weeks has printed definite fore-
casts of public opinion from these three
states which together have 10 percent
of the total convention strength. These
polls show, assuming that the President
will not be a candidate which Is the only
way that Democrats believing in the
continuance of its traditional party pol-
icies can think, that Mr. Garner is the
choice of over 50% of the Democrats in
New York and California and of over
(0% of the Democrat! of Pennsylvania.
Out of these three states two will give
Mr. Garner a clear majority of the con-
-ention. the Texas leader pointed out
“There it no question in my mind,*
declared Mr. Germany, “that tha people
United States have very definite
'Ictioni on the coming presidential
"You—you-
band?”
“Yes" she calmly replied. “I hit
him in the head with an ax and
then X cut his throat with a knife
because I couldn’t stand to see him
suffer.”
“Sit down, madam; ait down,” ex-
claimed Holloway, grabbing a pencil
and paper. “Now just tell me nil
about this land of yours.”
This and-that:

las, who has been writing a column

Here’s a vegetable plate to be
eaten end remembered. The cook
who planned It knew her vegeta-
bles and how to serve them. Cab-
bage. carrots, beats and baked
potato offer the contrast In texture,
flavor and color that snch a plate
should have. Generous servings of
lemon add more color and provide
a well-liked seasoning. Add a bev
erage, a breed, end a dessert, such
aa a custard, and the meal’s com-
plete end well-balanced.
Too few cooks know the secret
of bringing out the beat In vege-
tables, even though the rules foa
preparing and serving these moat
healthful of foods are few and
simple. Cook In at little water as
possible (this does not apply to
.cabbage). Do not overcook. Season
with care. With certain vegetables,
a little salad oil may be added with
the salt and papper when vegeta-
bles ere put on to cook. (This Is a
.new trick. Try ID Some vegeta-
'bles, too, take kindly to a bit of
lemon Juice. It It usually best to
add this after vegetable* ere cook-
ed and Just before serving Again,
