OLD TIME ORATORY
The nation had a glorious sample of old
time Democratic oratory Monday night
when Governor Frank Clement of Tenn-
essee, temporary chairman, addressed the
National Democratic Convention at Chi-
cago.
The governor’s address recalled the era
just about past when William Jennings
Bryan, Silver Dick Bland, Gov. Pat M.
Neff, Senator Tom Connally and others
poured out oratorical gems at political
conventions.
Clement’s address had Bible references,
reminding listeners of Bryan, who fre-
quently quoted the Bible. Reports are that
Billy Graham, evangelist, was one of the
advisers to Clement, 36-year-old Tenn-
essee governor.
The phrases coined by Clement should
be of value during the campaign. The
audience seemed to lap up his charges that
the president could not stay behind a
screen and let others take the full rap for
deficiencies in the Republican administra-
tion.
The temporary chairman’s keynote ad-
dress was the first that had been delivered
since 1932 with a Republican in the White
House. The speaker was able to blast the
record of the party with the presidency
instead of having to minimize any short-
comings of his Democratic allies.
The auditorium audience, as well as the
millions of radio and TY listeners, had a
great evening as Clement indicted the
Republican administration.
Next week another keynoter at San
Francisco probably will do another magni-
ficent job in talking about the Democrats.
DANIEL BANDWAGON GROWING
The bandwagon for Price Daniel for
governor is growing every day. The first
primary lead of 165,000 votes has never
been overcome in a run-off.
Some leading supporters of his oppon-
ent, Ralph Yarborough, apparently are
about to throw in the towel.
Jerry Holleman, state labor leader and
delegate at Chicago, practically conceded
that Yarborough would be a loser and
began talking about the latter’s prospec-
tive candidacy for U. S. Senator to suc-
ceed Daniel.
You can get on the bandwagon by vot-
ing for Price Daniel in the run-off Satur-
day, Aug. 25. Most Panhandle counties
gave Daniel a plurality or majority in the
first primary and they will give him a
majority in the run-off.
If you will not be in Carson county Aug.
25, then you can cast an absentee ballot
any time through Tuesday, Aug. 21.
Keep the Daniel bandwagon rolling
with your vote.
THE PANHANDLE PRESS
JOHNSON VS. DANIEL—Senator Lyn-
don Johnson supported President Eisen-
hower better than the junior senator, Price
Daniel, in 65 roll calls in 1956. Does that
make Johnson a better Republican? No,
it just shows independent voting by the
senior senator.
M. B. WELSH PASSES ON.—It just
won’t seem the same in the 600 block on
Franklin with the passing of M. B. Welsh
Aug. 10. The Herald Man has lived next
door to him for 22 years and appreciated
him as a friend and neighbor. In a few
more days this writer will be leaving
Franklin street for another address—and
it won’t be easy to move the three or four
blocks and leave the good neighbors.
SUBSCRIPTION CHANGES. — When
one has been in a community a long time
as newspaper editor, he naturally has
many changes in a subscription list. You
will note a couple has been on the list
many years; one passes away; the survi-
vor keeps taking the paper. Sometimes
the survivor even stops before death be-
cause of declining health or poor eyesight.
Generally, when you become a Herald
reader the custom continues even when
you leave Carson county.

Beauty on the beach—nicely posed for an informal group shot.
KEEP YOUR GROUP SHOTS SMALL, INFORMAL
In taking group shots, there-are
a few points to keep • in mind.
First of all, don’t try to shoot too
large a group at one time. You’ll
find two pictures are really better
than one—if more than a half a
dozen people are going to com-
pose a single unit for your view-
finder.
Next, be sure your subjects
aave a center of interest so that
fou don’t end up with the kind
if stiff-necked, glassy-eyed com-
position popular in Grandmother’s
ilbum. Just keep your tamera
framed on the little conversa-
ional groups that form naturally
—several people sharing a joke,
hree or four guests admiring the
able decorations, a happy couple
it two having a hard time de-
ciding what to select at the groan-
ng buffet board. Natural group-
ngs like these are your best in-
urance of good snapshots be-
ause the subjects are less likely
) be Self-conscious or even aware
f the picture taking in progress.
If you’re using flash to light
your indoor snapshots, try to have
all the members of your group
at approximately the same dis-
tance from the camera. Other-
wise, you’ll have uneven lighting
on your subjects, making those
in the foreground appear too light
and anyone in the background
much too dark.
Any festive occasion just seems
to beg for color film—-and the
newest type is a snapshooter’s de-
light. It may be used in daylight
or with flash without the addition
of filters or blue flash bulbs to
compensate for the different light.
Imagine how wonderful ft is to
have one color film that can be
used anywhere—indoors or out,
with flash or without!
No doubt about it, a party lends
a fillip to daily living. Why not
capture the fun on film so you
can have a permanent memento
of “the good time that was had
by all”? - —John Van Guilder

The Forbis Pamphlet
Mr. Forbis and the Childress Political Clique are distributing pam-
phlets throughout the District in an effort to defeat Allen Harp.
In the pamphlet Mr. Forbis sets out the boxes that he cajrried in the
primary in an effort to show that his character is better and his ability
superior to that of Allen Harp. He does not give the results in those
boxes where he received practically no votes at all.
In the pamphlet Mr. Forbis says that Allen Harp has served four
telrms. '
The TRUTH IS that ALLEN HARP became District Attorney on
January 1, 1950. You can figure that for yourself.
The pamphlet further states that Forbis has had six and one-half
years active criminal and civil practice.
The TRUTH is that the Williams. Broughton and Forbis law firm
does not practice criminal law at all—Mr. Forbis has not had any
criminal practice (The District Attorney’s Office is concerned pnly
with criminal law) . In fact Mr. Forbis has had practically no court
room experience even in civil law.
A CHARACTER ASSASSINATION CAMPAIGN
Never in the annals of local politics has there been a character
assassination campaign comparable to the one that is being waged
against me. The Childress Political Clique which has sought to control
Childress through the years has always tried to defeat me because I
have prosecuted the high and the mighty on the same basis as those
of low estate and have not submitted to any control from any person
or group of persons. The enmity, created in nearly every county through
prosecutions has added its weight on the side of the Childress Political
Clique. The-members of the Clique are fanning out into the other
counties carrying Forbis literature and false stories about me.
I have been married but one time. My wife and I have been married
and living together as man and wife for more than 21 years. We have
never lived apart from each other except for a part of the time that I
was in the Service during World War II. We have a boy 15 years of age
and a girl 12 years of age.: We have attended Church regularly,
although I did not start preaching when I started running for District
Attorney. My wife and I are attempting to rear our children in a good
home. You will note that I used the word ‘good’ instead of ‘Christian’
The term “Christian” has been so prostituted by political demagogery
as to become, in the words of the Apostle Paul, “as sounding brass
or, a tinkling cymbal” when used in connection with a campaign such
as this. I have been guilty of no offense of any nature of which my
opponent has not been guilty. I have not attacked the character of my
opponent either directly or indirectly. I have sought reelection purely
on my qualifications with t&e sincere belief that a majority of the
people want to elect the best qualifi^ person for public office, espec-
ially an office with the responsibility of the District Attorney’s Office.
It is on this basis that I submit to you my plea for reelection. I will
certainly appreciate your vote on August 25th.
Respectfully Submitted, '
ALLEN HARP
