Mr. Bledaoe.
Is Candidate
For Congress
To III* Voter* Of' The Seven-
teenth Luniriwlunal Dtatrict:
My announcement for congress
was carried in the Prc-Js, in the
daily and most of the weekly pa-
pers on the 10th day of January,
of this year, however, the th;
announcement was carried as a
news item. This announcement is
my personal message to you.
I was born and reared in Erath
County, — grew ^to manhood on
the farm. My people were poor
and by reason thereof, I wai
forced to make my own way. Af-
ter securing my education, I en-
gaged in teaching school during
the school term, and i n farming
when not i n school; during which
time, 1 also studied law.
I went into the army during
the World War and I finished my
law course while in the army, and
was admitted to the bar and li-
censed to practice law soon after
I was discharged from the army.
I have since that time served
my home - people for over five
years as their county attorney,
having been first appointed to fill
out an unexpired term and there-
after was elected to the office
twice; my people the n elected me
district attorney for the Twenty
Ninth Judicial District for two
terms; then they elected me their
district judge for said district,
and X am now serving my twelfth
year as su<Sh.
This history, of myself is given
for the "purpose of showing what
my home people, where I grew
up think of me, as well as to show
my opportunity to study govern-
ment and my qualifications the
place I seek.
The science and study of gov-
ernment has been my life's study,
and I believe that I have a fair
knowledge of the vital questions
that the American people are now
confronted with, and the import-
ant matters that the next Congress
will have to deal with. I have a
burning desire to serve them dur-
ing these trying times and I be-
lieve that I can render to them
the «ervice that thi* great district
is entitled.
As I have atiited, the Prcm car-
ried the main point* that I think
are of piramount importance to
the people aa a whole, which were:
(1) If I am elected your Con-
gressman, I pledge ft> you that I
shall do everything in my power
to keep our country out of ivar;
for I know the' horrors of war
and the misery and woe that fol-
low the same.
I believe that our country is in-
more diiger now within its bor-
ders than it Is without; and I
am in favor of keeping all for-
eigners out of this country and
give and make jots for our home
peop.le. I like the slogan "Amer-
ica for Americans," and I be'ieve
in a strict immigration law, and
such other laws, that will make it
ea/>y to deport enemy aliens.
(2) In case it becomes neces-
sary for our country to engage in
war, I favor a universal draft,—
that is, not only a draft of man
power, but a draft of money pow-
er, a draft of machinery, and a
draft of munitions and factories.
(3) Our agricultural industry
being the busic industry of the
land, I favor such laws that will
assist and build up this industry
by way of soil conservation and
soil preservation, and co-operative
market associations, to stimulate
a better' market for our "products;
I am in favor of an amendment
to our farm program in order to
bring about the results intended
when the simc was pacsed, where-
by the small farmer and the ten-
ant can be protected and taken
off of the relief rolls and WPA
projects, by securing for them a
home and a place to earn their
own living. The farm program be-
ing intended in part as a relief
measure to help those who could
not help themselves, and I expect
to work, if I am your Congress-
man to see that thi.3 part of the
program is carried out.
I am in favor, and shall work
to have the discrimanating freight
Kites against Texas and the South
west eliminated.
(4) Being a Southern Democrat,
X naturally believe in the doctrine
of Slate's rights, and am opposed
to Federal Control of private bus-
iness, and if I am elected your
Congressman, I shall fight and
oppose to the bitter end, Federal i
control of the oil business in Tex-
ts) Z am in fewr of tha Ummt
tap, rate p—iiWc ft®" Mae ,®peti-
tion of our govicrwncnt; and be-
lieve thai all tax* should be equal
and uniform, and if they am aucb.
the ones moat able to pay will be
j the onea who pay the mwt, am!
j should pay the most. J am in favor
such a tax ia just, when needed to
carry on the government, and 1
am opposed tb the future issuing
of tax exempt securities.
(6) I am opposed to the paying
of a $25,000 a year pension to the
widows of past Presidents. I am
opposed to paying of pensions to
retired Federal Judges.
I am in favor of paying the
aged needy assistance, just aa we
voted it.
<7> I believe in a strict ecenomy
in government. Our national debt
is now nearing the forty five pil-
lion mark, which is alarming, and
shows that an economy program
must be, established.
(8) I am in favor of prohibit-
ing (he advertisement of inttoxi-
cating beverages through the Unit
ed States mails; and I believe that
the moving picture and radio in-
dustries should be prohibited from
giving immoral programs.
(9) I am in favor of the gov-
ernment encouraging and assist-
ing the buying of" homes for
those who are homeless. This
can be done without1 loss to the
government. Home ownership Is
the superstructure of a free gov-
ernment. and our government i*
a collection of homes. The more
homes we. have, the better gov-
ernment we will have.
Of course, there will be many
other problems that ,we will be
confronted with, and I will give
each due consideration, and will
at all times, fight with all my
might for the things that I think
are right, and equally as strong
against the things that I think
are wrong.
I sincerely ask your help, pro-
mising you that I will always be
found at my post of daty, working
and fighting for the welfare and
glory of our people and our coun-
try.
Sincerely yours.
SAM RUSSELX., Candidate for
Congress, Seventeenth District.

dueing engineer for the commis-
sion, .was being urged at week-end
to become a candidate Ifor com-
missioner.
Earl B. Mayfieid, Jr., of Tyler,
son of former Commissioner May
field is also considering sugges-
tions that he run for the place. His
father was commissioner for 10
years before being elected U. S.
Senator, and Allison Mayfieid was
commissioner for 25 years. Clyde
Smith of Woodfield, another can
didate, also is unrelated to the
present commissioner.
Eugene Smith of Austin entered
the race at week-end so it is pos
sible there stiil may be a Com-
missioner Smith. He also is not
related to the retiring commission-
er. State Senator Joe Hill of Hen-
derson was evasive when asked f
he iw'ill be a candidate.

High fax Rate
OJIBWAY, Ont. <U.fi> — Persons
who complain about high tax rates
would find particularly uncon-
genial the ghost steel, telwn of
Ojibway, across the river from
Detroit.
A rate of $509 on each $1,000
valuation has just been fixed to
satisfy a $278,927 judgment Iw'on
by the Canadian Bank of Com-
merce, serving- as trustee for the
Uefonct Essex Border- Utilities
Commission, to which the town
was indebted.
Home owners are likely to suffer j
little, however, since 99 per cent |
of Ojibway is ciwncjl by tiie Do-
minion Steel Corporation, Iwhose
mills have been idle for several
years.
