Howe, Texas, Friday, July 31, 1936
Number 31
Many Upsets in
Election Outcome
More than 13,500 votes were
east in the Grayson county
primary election Saturday to
bring to a conclusion one of
the most upsetting campaigns
in the history of the eounty.
Old-time political prognostica-
tors were completely fooitd on
practically every race accord-
to the post-mortems that have
been underway this week
Governor James V Allred
was returned to office without
a runoff in s.pite of the fact
that some of his most ardent
supporters were confidentially
making inquiries concerning
his chances of being one of the
two high candidates.
Grsyson county legislators
both polled large votes, al-
though neither one managed to
obtain a majorty. Adamson and
Keith will contest in the run
off for Place Two. Waggoner
failed to get a majority but
will be saved a run-off with
the withdrawal of Brige Tues-
day afternoon.
Sam Rayburn seeking re-
election to Congress from this
district, finished with a 16,000
vote majority over two oppon-
ents, one of the biggest major-
ities he ever attained.
All commissioners were re
turned to office, P. J. waldrop
winning his place without a
run-off. Jake J. W was re-
elected to his third term as
county judge.
ft. M. Carter won a deeisive
victory in seeking his third
term as judge of the 15th dis-
trict court. Benton Davis did
something that has occurred in
this eounty but twice before,
when he was re-elected to his
third term as sheriff. Davis
had conceded bis defeat Mon-
day morning, but a re-check of
first reports gave him a 40
vote margin Monday afternoon
and an official iecouat by
county chairman Earle White-
acre,Tuesday afternoon result-
ed in a 54 vote victory.
The county clerk contest
v ill probably enter a run oft
with Co H. Barrett and Calvin
Buchanan seeking the place.
Barrett has a 3100 vote lead.
Bob Slagle lacked but 41
votes of gaining a majority
over his two opponents- B. F.

If you would know a man’s
age, examine his mind.
Don’t mistake your own income
for a financial depression.
Beware of him who is too
serious to laugh.
Better a friend who values you
for what you are than a kins-
man for what you have.

“I shall die like a soldier who never forgets what is due his own honor and that of his country.’
Shortly after William Barrett Travis penned the mojt heroie document in American history, the Alamo
garrison which he commanded was put to the sword. One hundred and eighty stalwart Texans
gave their lives; none survived. Perpetuated in the devotion of all Texans today to the “Cradle of Tex-
as Liberty” is the ideal for-which its defenders fought and died. Shown above is the painting which
hangs in capitol halls in Austin.

ess to the Thursday bridge club

menting Mrs. J.M, Poindexter
