Colquitt Criticizes Wilson and Defends Democratic Freethinking
The Beaumont Enterprise argues Colquitt faced political backlash for opposing Wilson and praises Democratic history of disciplined dissent. It recounts 1894 to 1914 Texas episodes where critics stayed in the party, noting Reagan Culberson Bailey Parker Hogg and Bryan, and cites Colquitt’s 1914 cotton loan plea as prescient, later echoed by Washington.
