REPRESENTATIVE 38 DIST.
P-'-tOgl
lall'i Catarrh
T. Young Collins
1*0 the Citizens of Lamar County:
I hereby announce my cand •
ktcy for representative of Lamar
aunty, comprising district. No.
7, subject to the action of the
kemocratic priq^iries.
I was born at Tigertown, in
he western part of the county,
knd lived there until the latter
art of 1916, when my parents
ooved to Paris, where my home
been since that time. My
kther, Wallace Colhns, has lived
i this county all of his lile. Ed
sard Collins, my grandfather,
ettled in Lamar Countv in 1854.
nd served as its third chief jus-
tice, which office is now known
i that of county judge.
1 attended the rural school at
Tiitertown while there and since
hat time have by special study
Bnished my high school educa-
tion. Since completing a general
business course in the Paris Com
nercia! College I have been con
ktantly employed in business of-
fice work. At present I am em-
ployed in the 8tate department
jlf education at Austin. For the
Mt year I have devoted my
kpare time to the study of law,
kttending classes at night, and
piped to be able within a few
onths to pass the State bar ex-
amination.
Through mycon tectionwith the
State department of education I
ave pained a knowledge of the
Stale's educa i >nal system, and
bm reasonably well acquainted
trith the general system of e
|State government. Also, i nave
observed carefully the workings
of th*-* last legislature and have
limited knowledge of proced-
ure in legislative matteis.
I expect to make a thorough
[campaign in the interest of in.v
candidacy and hope to have the
pleasure of meeting each citizen
before the primaries. 1 realize
|the responsibilities to be assurn
eti by the person whom the citi-
zens of Lamar County choose to
Represent them in the Thirty
riintli legislature, and, after g v-
pngduj consideration to the mat
P' r. I believe that I am qualified
flo represent the general inter-
ests of the citizens of Lamar
[County. If given that honor and
hat duty, 1 shall spare no effort
f n an attempt to render earnest
find loyal service,
Respectfully submitted,
T. Young Collins.

To velars of L*nmr and Fannin
Oeantias:
Having given the matter due
consideration and at the same
time realising the important dut-
ies attached to the office of rep
resentative, I have come to the
conclusion that I would offer my
services to the people of the
Thirty-eighth district, composed
of Lamar and Fannin counties,
as their representative in the
July primary to be held July 26
1924.
Having represented the people
of the Thirty fifth district, com
posed of Delta, Hopkins and
Franklin counties, in the Thirty
third legislature; and being fami-
liar with the proceedings of the
house; aud having served on
several of the most important
committees of the house during
that session, and knowing how
to help organize the house for the
best interest of the people at
large, I therefore believe, with
the experience I have had here
tofore in the Texas legislature,
better qualities me to represent
the people of the Thirty eighth
district at this time, more so
than one who is not familiar with
the proceedings of the legiala
lure.
It seems to me that the people
of Texas are over burdened with
taxes, and if I am elected I shall
favor a business session of the
legislature by taking up and
passing the appropriation bill as
soon as the house has been or
ganized, and amend a few of the
laws that are now on the statute
books ol this State, adjourn and
come home, therefore saving the
tax payers thousands of dollars
expenses for an extra called
session to pass the appropriation
bill.
I invite the voters of Lamar
and Fannin counties to investi
gate my past life, both private
and public, and if you find me
worthy, I would appreciate your
support. Yours to serve,
G. J.(Josh) Cox.
