FORT WORTH. Tex. (UP) W.
Lee O'Daniel, democratic nominee for
governor, is away to a rousing start
In his campaign to "sell Texas" to
the nation.
The flour merchant campaigned
with a fiddle band that played the
hillbilly songs he wrote. His plat
form was for more liberal pensions
and a 10-fold increase in the busi
ness of the state. By increasing the
taxable wealth, he explained, the
money could be raised for bigger
pensions with no Increase in taxes.
O'Daniel's victory stunned the
state's old-line politicians, but the

candidate lost no time in his sales
campaign. He accepted an invita
tion to speak over a network of 108
radio stations throughout the nation.
The talk was mainly about the beau
ties of Texas.
The nominee once was president
of the Fort Worth Chamber of Com
merce and is known as a business
executive. Kis nomination boomed
orders for the flour that he sells, but
O'Daniel took the rush of orders and
came back with more "plugs" for
Texas and his flour wherever the
opportunity presented itself.
Texans First and Last
Offers for public appearances pour
ed into the O'Daniel home after the
victory. If accepted, they would make
him and the hillbilly band wealthy
but O'Daniel has decreed that any
offers for making money will have
to be in Texas.
Pat. 19; Mike. 18; and Molly, 1G,
are the O'Daniel children. All are
active, attractive fun-loving young
sters who were thrilled when motion
picture companies in Hollywood of
fered to give them screen tests.
Their father said "Xo" to the out-
of-state jobs, however.
"If they want you kids In the
movies." he said, "let 'em come to
Texas."
O'Daniel rejected numerous offers
ranging from $125,000 for a 10
weeks tour of eastern cities with his
hillbilly band to commencement ad
dresses at $50 each. Hotels, theaters,
resorts and county fairs pleaded with
O'Daniel to bring his "boys" there
to show the public how "they fiddled
his way to the governorship."
Whether O'Daniel accepts any of
the many offers probably will de
pend upon his decision on their op
nortunities to advertise Texas. Ad
mirers have suggested that funds be
raised by public subscription to spon
sor a national radio broadcast for
the governor-to-be.
Defeated 11 Opponents
Until his primary victory. O'Daniel
was just a radio personality to thou
sands of Texans. They liked the hill-
I billy music and the O'Daniel talks.
which were usually in a religious
vein. He began on the radio as an
advertisement for his flour and used
the same tactics to win the gover
norship over 11 opponents the first
time that he ever ran for an office.
Impartial observers have appraised
O'Daniel as something better than a
political curiosity. They consider him
as an able business man with the
Irish knack of winning friends. He
is not considered as another Huey
Long, because apparently he is not
politically ambitious and lacks Long's
political acumen.
But none doubt that O'Daniel Is
the greatest salesman that ever ran
for office in the Lone Star state.

KARNIVAL NOTES
Each day brings us nearer to the
big fall event in Plattsmouth the

lining up the different features and
events which are to make this year's

sions, has contracted for many very
high class attractions. The parade
committee under Ray Misner is plan
ning a big parade for each day and
perhaps will schedule some novel pre-
karnival parades. The bandB which
are in charge of Ed Schulhof. are
falling into line in good shape, in fact
it looks now that we may have more
bands than last year from the outside
besides our own drum corps and
recreation band. The committee in
charge of the coronation ball Wed
nesday night, Sept. 21 are determined
to make this the social event of the
season. Daryl Ashbaugh in charge
of this year's derby expects to show
some speedy racers to the crowds
this year. The platform program,
which includes the colorful cor
onation of the king and queen will
be up to the usual high standard of
excellence. It has been a tradition
almost that Foster Patterson and the
karnival are one and he has kindly
consented to preside at the "mike"
again this year. He will be ably as
sisted by the gift night announcer,
Walter Smith.
Plans are in the making for three
pre-karnival events to be held on
the three Wednesday nights preced
ing the opening of the karnival.
Among them are mass band.komical
night, boys night and a mass candi
date night. Watch this paper for
