According to pre^s dispatches, 527
candiii::tesutc seeking state and dis-
trict offices, subject to the wiii of the
Voters next Saturday. Added to this,
inthcracesfor local offices in the
ttf course, are the thousands who are
264 Texa< counties. The campaign !s
figured to be one of the most} cxton
sive ever held in Texas.
* * * *
One of the nmu ing things incident
to the elections is the manner in which
someofthe candidates hopetoget
ielected. Every conccivabie device is
being worked to sway the voters. At-
tempt, have bicn made to create !s-
sueswh<rcthere areno issues. Tnr
depres ion has s< rvf d as an excuse for
^volume of orntoiy that ismeaning-
iess and has no beating on the duties
of the office being sought after.
For instance,acandidatefor some
county office may speak at length
about the iniquities of Wall Street
bankers, the soldiers bonus, currency
inflation or whatnot; whereas, if he
were sv inclined and so equipped, he
might give a concrete plan for reduc-
ing expenses of the office he seeks,
or perhaps outline a comprehensive
plan for improving the efficiency of
the office.
* * * *
Matty candidates running for state
offices are emphasizing their stand
on national prohibition. Yet national
prohibition has no connection with
tile duties of a state office. If any
change is made in the Eighteenth
Amendment it must originate in th*
Congress and pass that body by a two-
thirds vote of both houses beforefur.
ther action can be taken. Then it
must be submitted to the; state legist
latures or state conventions for a
thrcf-f'miths majority vote beforeit
can be ratified. Many people prefer
the convention method, which is look-
ed upon favorably by congressmen.
If Congress decides tosubmitthe
question of repeal to the states, the
chances are that conventions wit) pass
on the proposition. In that event, not
even the state legislatures will have
a hand, in settlingthe prohibition
question.

That is the question that is per-
plexing so many citizens of Texas
;and the United States this year. It !s
(gradually dawning on us that the so-
called Depression isnot so much *
depression but just a new condition
under which we have to adjust our-
selves. Half of the United States in-
cluding the farmeil is already adjust-
ed. With 4 cent cotton and other
farm products on the same levet tlit
Texas l'armer earns 34 cents per day
for his tabor.
Now of course we would rather]
!have 20 cents for cotton, and dollar
and a half for wheat. It looks tiXa
this is not possible for severat yearn
to come. We don't envy anyone mak-
ing good money or easy money, but
STERLING P. STRONG
Editor Herald
Alto, T'.'Xas.
I have n ) hard and fast platform
preferring to meet the issues as they
present themselves. The present great
[iHsuoandtheonc that overshadow.!
everything else i the economic ques-
tion. Wl;cn a moat many people are
suffering, some of them actually
starving in this great land of plenty,
the relief of this condition should take
precedence over at! other question!?.
Then are many things that will help
relieve this condition. One of them is
to put enough money in circulation
tooasilyhundie tile business of Me
country.
I believe in strict economy in ad-
mini tering the affairs ofgovemment
to make every dollar count andto
produce a doilur's worth of service or
material in every case.
I favor a liberal foreign policy to
the end that our cotton, wheat, oil
and other products might, be sold in
ftllthd markets of the world.
On the liquor question, I am per-
sonally and politicalty dry but very
mu" o! o'lhef.ircingthisissuets
thefront atthis time to agitatea
people.sinned food and clothing

drink.
I believe in constructive measures

ment that enrich the few.

pro-
and

hyedon'tintend to earn 34 cents per
day and pay 17 cents of this for taxes
Ito be squandered at war time salaries
and prices.
It is very evident that the farmer
isheadedfora condition where he
cannot pay his taxes, cannot buy the
Necessities of tife for his family un-
less the prices of taxes and alt things

tevet we have to take for our
ducts.
Wefarmersare forebearing
slow to anger. The politicians
offSce holders of Texas and
United States have not shown where
they either understood the situation
or if they did understand tt, have
have shown no disposition to remedy
It. It is very foolish to think a
University professor should get!
$6000 per year or even $3000 per ^
year the same money as he received
!when cotton sold for 20 cents and
Wheat one dollar and a half.
We farmers and laboring men want
the office holders to reduce the ex
penses of the government and out
taxes 50 per cent during thenex.
eight months or we are simply going
to coma out en masse and put every
one of you out of office and we ate
going to do just that unless we get re-
lief and you can depend on it. We al-[
so want the Trust monopolies m Texas
and the United States broken up and;
either our farm product prices put up I
orattother prices and salariesput
down to our tevet.
You think wc can't doit. You just
ride the waves the next eight months
and give us no relief and you wit) see.
Go ahead, some of you Texans and
Ivtote for Hoover again. Maybe you
Want to quit working like eight mil-
lion did the past four years with
Hoover and the Republicans running
this Nation.

RED SEA DELIVERANCE
Lesson foa July 21
Lesson Tixt: Exodus 11: 10-16, 21*
22. Golden Text: Exodus t5: 12.
The experience of Coti's saving
poweritialife does nut mean that
the conflict with inisatianend.lt
explains why so many Christians fait
in the hourof crisis. Here arc two
million former slaves, each one of
whomhadexptricncedinamarvelous
way God's delivering power. They
had found peace and security at a,
time when all Egypt was plunged in
sorrow and tears, and yet, even with
tiie memory of this mighty Passover
miracle, they are so soon in a panic
of fear and distrust. With the Red
Sea before them and the pursuing
Egyptian behind, they complained
bitterly to God and to Moses. Thus
'ftcninthcptcsonccofphysical, fi-
nancial, or other peril <iowe forget
that God isnot limited in resources
and is equal to our ev.ery need.
Faith is paralyzed by fear. Faith is
undermined when, like Israel, we
dwell upon the difficulties before us,
Eubstitutingreason for dependence
upon God. While the sound of Me
chariot wheels of the Kgytpians draws
"nearer and nearer; <d the fear of
Israel reaches dcsp..ir, the most un-
expectedof atl things takes place.
Unable to turn back because of the
pursuing host, hemmed it) by
mountains on either side, ]o!theKad
S^ea opens, a God-given highway
stretches before them; so that the
slow moving host of men, women,
children, and beasts o/ burden may
pass over unh; r.r.od and in peace.
The c' perirnce, as we shall find, is
typical all Israel's journeyings.
When they were willing to obey the
word of Cod antl go forward as me
pillar of cloud led the way, their foes
'were ah'.'iys subdued. Nothing could
pxceed the discomfiture of these
Egyptians who, with their chariot
wheels temoved, sank to death in the
depths of the sen. The eiou'l vhich
lightened the way of Israel was dark-
ness to the pursuing host.
