LARGE CROWD HEARD GOV. t
O’DANIEL .SPEAK HERE
A large crowd of people gathered
on the courthouse square here to hear
Governor W. Lee O’Dan;el speak
Monday at 1:00 o’clock. The first
part of his talk was broadcast from
Lampasas. The Governor was accom-
panied to Lampasas by Mrs. O’Dan-
iel and his Hill BiUy Band, and the
, talk was from his sound truck.
The Governor stated two or three
I times during his talk that “There
i Ain’t Gona’ Be No Run Off,” declar-
[ ing that such a practice was done
i away with by the voters two years
ago. He states that he will receive
from 70 to 75 per cent of the votes
cast in the election of July 27th..
He had by far the largest crowd
that has heard any candidate speak
here. It was something like the crowd
that was here tq hear him two years
agu The majority of those in the
crowd were supporters as was evi-
denced by the applause given his re-
marks.
He spoke concerning the different
“bureaus” mf the state government
which had been created and which
took all power out of the Governor’s
I hands for at least two years. He ask-
j ed that the voters pay particular at-
tention to the member s they send to
the legislature, assuring that he would
sign any measure they might pass
for the raising of funds for the help
of the old people and those in
of assistance front the (state."[most of these ehuri hes and have been For all phases of the work we are ■ Sunday where he attended the Op-
