SENATOR G. C. MORRIS AND FAMILY are shown in their five-
room bungalow at Greenville looking at a political scrapbook his wife
has compiled since the candidate for congressman from the Fourth
District was first elected to public office. Senator Morris, whose chief
interest in life is his wife and five-year-old son, was elected to the
Texas House of Representatives from Hunt County at the age of 21.
Having achieved an enviable record in the.House for four terms, the
people of Hunt, Rockwall, Rains and Collin Counties promoted him to
the State Senate in 1942, where he is now serving his second 'term.
Senator Morris, who was born on a farm west of Van Alstyne in
Grayson County, is favorably known throughout Texas as a sincere,
honest and energetic legislator, who has always fought for the rights
of people in all walks of life. The thousands of, people in the seven-
county congressional district who know him best, point out that his
legislative record alone entitles him to promotion. They are confident
all the free and independent thinking people in the Fourth District
agree that he is the type of qualified young family man so urgently
needed in high public office today. These are the people who will open
the door of opportunity which has been closed for 36 years and “Send
G. C. to D. C.”

By Jimmy Nossaman
(The following is a brief account of
Jimmy Nossaman’s visit to the Na-
tional Republican convention held in
Philadelphia recently. He was asked
by the editors of The Sun to write a
story about the convention and his
trip, but J;o make it brief,
lowed instructions too literally,
was a page in the
could have told
things about the convention we did
not get in the newspapers. Anyway,
AUSTIN. — If there is any reduc-
tion in the Confederate pension tax
rate, the Legislature will have to do
it.
That was the ruling of Attorney
General Daniel in answer to a re-
quest from Comptroller George Shep-
pard. Sheppard asked whether the
automatic tax board could reduce the
rate—now 8 cents on the $100 valua-
tion—in view of the pension fund’s
big surplus.
he wrote a good story, if he did make
it brief.)
I left Dallas by plane at 1:45 a. m.
Friday and arrived in Philadelphia at
12:04 noon. I took a taxi to town and
registered at the Adelphia Hotel.
After a short rest, I visited Inde-
pendence Hall. There I found the
Liberty Bell. It showed it was very
old and had not been used in a long
After this I decided to go by
There I saw the
of the
time.
Betsy Ross’ home,
room where the first flag
United States was created.
From there I took a tour of the
famous buildings and saw many in-
teresting things.
The next day I went to the conven-
tion hall and received my papers and
orders as to what I was to do on
Monday. That afternoon I went on a
tour to Valley Forge. Here I learned
that of all the soldiers buried there,
only one is identified by name. Here
also I saw George Washington’s
headquarters and a reasonable fac-
simile of the huts where Washington
and his men stayed in that cold win-
ter. They were made of logs with
mud to hold them together. They
were furnished with very crude fur-
niture.
Next day was the first day of the
convention. I was up at 7:00 because
we were to report at 9:00. At 11:00
the convention got under way. All
this day and the next were very
much the same. Most of the time was

spent in electing officers for the con-
vention. Wednesday, however, was
a big day, for at this time the nomi-
nating speeches were made. This
day I was offered $75.00 to let a man
on the floor, but I did not take it, nor
did the man get through.
Thursday was the day the ballot-
ing was cast. Dewey stayed ahead in
the 1st and 2nd, but Taft held a close
second.
Friday was the day the vice presi-
dent was nominated and all the Na-
tional Committee.
Sunday I left for New York City.
I went by train because it only took
two hours and 15 minutes. After ar-
riving in New York City I took a taxi
to the Waldorf Hotel where I was to
stay. That-night I went to a party
given by Mr. and Mrs. John Thomas
of Beaumont.
The next day and night Mrs.
Thomas and I saw New York. We
took a boat trip around Manhattan
Island and over to Coney Island. That
night we went to see a stage show
called “Inside the U. S. A.” with Jack
Haley and Beatrice Lillie. The next
night I went to see Fort Appache.
Afterwards we went to see Skinny
Ennis and his band with Lena Horne
in person at the Capitol Theatre.
The next day we left for Washing-
ton, D. C. Here I registered at the
Statler Hotel and then left on a sight-
seeing tour of Washington’s famous
buildings. I visited the Capitol and
the White House, the Supreme Court
and the largest library in the world.
Also I went through the mint and saw
them making money of all kinds.
After that we went to the home of
Robert E. Lee, and the tomb of the
Unknown Soldier. Then I went to
Lincoln Memorial and after that to
Jefferson memorial. The next day
we. left by plane for good old Texas.
On the plane you could see the
beautiful gold sun reflecting on the
white clouds. Behind this was a
pink and blue background. It was
very beautiful* indeed. We arrived
home at 2:15 Tuesday morning.

The following letter was written by
Dave Thompson, agricultural <
suitant for the Grocery Manufactur-
ers of America. We wish that every
citizen whose patriotism is lukewarm
and every Communist or other person
who would if they could, change our
form of government to fit the pattern
of Russia, or other Socialistic or
Communistic states, would read it
and ponder over its significance.
“One hot Sunday in Philadelphia,
Mrs. Thompson and I went by taxi
from the University of Pennsylvania
campus to a hotel downtown. As we
got into the taxi, I said to the driver,
‘You just saved my life.’
“He drove on a few blocks and then
said, ‘I don’t save lives . . . but my
son does.’
“His son is a fine plastic surgeon.
In service during the war, he per-
formed the miracles of surgery re-
sulting in body healing and rebuild-
ing. Now he is in Hawaii, still in
service. As a student he had earned
a scholarship to enable him to ac-
quire much of his medical education.
‘He saves lives,’ said our driver. ‘And
my daughter is in school studying art
—she, too, is on a scholarship. She
will be a fine artist.’
“We said that was very fine—he
should be proud of his children.
“He drove for blocks in silence.
Then he said, ‘I am proud of our
country. Nowhere else in the world
could my boy become a fine surgeon.
Nowhere else could my daughter be
an artist. I am a taxi driver. In Eu-
rope, my son would be a taxi driver
—perhaps a doorman. My daughter
would be a housemaid, or perhaps a
chambermaid in a hotel. No place
else in the world could they rise
above our station. But here in our
country, they can become what they
have the courage to desire. I am
proud of them—but before that, I
proud of our country’.”
