We. wish to urge upon you
the following special reasons
why you should support Sena-
tor Decherd for Congress Be-
sides the facts that Judge Har-
dy has been against President
Mfc* in his preparedness pro-
gram for the prosecution of the
war and that his general poli-
cies are reactionary, we wish to
urge these as specially appeal-
ing to the women voters why
they should vote for Senator
Decherd:
1. Senator Decherd has fa-
vored child labor laws; and, as
a member of the State Senate,
he helped pass the child labo.
laws now in force in Texas.
Judge Hardy voted against the
* law passed by Congress forbid-
ding inter-state shipment of ar-
ticles produced by child labor,
thus showing his lack of sym-
pathy for the passage of such
laws.
2. Senator Decherd is for pi-o-
hibition. Liquor and the open
saloon have wrecked more
homes and ruined the lives of
more American women than
any other set of evil forces.
Senator Decherd has been a
life-long prohibitionist, and has
supported every prohibition
measure presented before the
Thirty-Fourth and the Thirty-
Fifth Legislatures. His oppo-
nent, Judge Hardy, is a life-
long anti. He ipade anti prohi-
bition speeches in 1887 and has
been an anti every since. Judge
Hardy voted against the prohi-
bition amendment to the Feder-
• al Constitution. Senator Dech-
erd voted in the Texas State
Senate to ratify this amend-
3. Senator Decherd is for
Woman Suffrage. He believes
the women have a natural
right to the ballot, and that
clean politics and good govern-
ment will be promoted by the
admission of our womanhood
to the ballot box. Judge Hardy
is opposed to Woman Suffrage,
and voted against the Womarti
Suffrage amendment to the
Constitution of the United
States. Woodrowr Wilson has re-
cently asked Congress to pass
this amendment. Senator Dech-
erd’s position on this subject
has been endorsed by the Pres-
ident of the Texas Equal Suf-
frage Association in the follow-
ing letter, addressed to a num-
ber of women voters of the 6th
Congressional District:
“My Dear Madam:
My attention has been called
to the fact that the Hon. E. A.
Decherd, Jr., is a candidate for
always to be found attending
closely to duty and supporting
such measures for the good of
the State, as the following, for
instance:
Child labor laws, all war
measures, woman suffrage, re-
striction of suffrage to Amer-
ican citizens million dollar
rural school bill, compulsory
education bill, author rural
high school bill, anti vice bill,
all prohibition measures, ma-
jority nominations.
If Mr. Decherd were a candi-
date for Congress from my own
district, I would be one of his
most enthusiastic supporters.
Since he is from your district,
instead, I bespeak for him not
only your vote but your influ-
ence, in order that the Nation
may have the benefit of his
honest, straightforward, direct
decision on all questions., bear-
ing upon the public affairs.
Should you consider things
pretty evenly divided between
Mr. Decherd and his opponent,
and find difficulty j in making
your decision, 1-fe^gi you to re-
member that Mre. Decherd
stands for enfranchisement of
the women of the United
States, not only by Spates but
by the Nation, and his oppo-
nent has shown by every vote
he has had a chance to cast,
that he does not believe that
women are competent to cast
an intelligent ballot. Surely,
then, he is not worthy nor de-
sirous of receiveing our support
the very first time we do vote.
Very truly yours,
, Mrs. Minnie FisHer
Cunningham, President.

NOTICE TO MEMBERS
OF BOYS’ CLUBS
\
Mrs. Howell Childs, of Al-
vin, visited her sisters, Mrs. N.
B. Cullison and Mrs. Henry Eu-
bank, here the latter part 0 f
last week. She was on her way
home from Camp Bowie, where
she had been visiting her son,
Lafayette, who is a soldier and
who expects to be sent to
France in the immediate fu-
ture.
The County Paper leads and
sets the example, others follow
and imitate. Read it—the pa-
per with a conscience.
To all members of the Boys’
Agricultural Club of Free-
stone county:
An invitation is extended to
you to attend the week’s course
of instruction for Club boys at
the Farmers’ Short jCourse, A.

July 22d to 27th. It is expected
that I will go to College Station
at this time, and I will be de-
lighted to have a number of the
club boys of this county to ac-
company me. I feel positive
that the instructions and enter-
tainment that you will receive
will justify the expense of the
trip.
Mr. E. J. Kyle, Supt. of the
Short Course, advises that
meals and lodging for that
week will be $1.25 per day.
Please let me hear from you if
you think there is a probability
