I feel like that there was no mem-
ber of the Senate who rendered a
greater service to the people of this
State than you. I noticed from the
very beginning that you were always
ready and willing with your voice and
vote to assist humanity. You were
opposed at all times to combinations
and special favors. Your vote al-
ways reflected in favor of labor. •
When the people have a faitniul and
conscientious servant, one who is
honest and, by the way, this is one of
the main assests of an officer, 1 feel
they ought to be reelected. If I were
a voter in your district I certainly
would cast my vote for you based on
your record in the Senate, regard-
less of who your opponent might be.
—W. J. Townsend, Jt.

Specially do 1 commend and endorse
your course in defense of the reten-
tion, without alteration, repeal or
emasculation of the Robertson In-
surance Law, and your unfaltering
fight against the organized liquor
traffic, wherever its unholy influence
has sought to shake the foundation
of our priceless personal, social, pol-
itical and governmental purity.—
Robert L. Warren.
Senator Westbrook was very assid-
ous and attentive to his duties. His
experience in the legislature qualifies
him for good service, and without
hesitancy I can say that I believe the
people have no more faithful repre-
sentative in either brancn of the Leg-
islature than Senator Westbrook.—

to note that you have announced for

nearly an ounce of waste material

Just as necessary as it Is to clean

Having had the pleasure to serve
with you in the State Senate, a part
of the ^time as presiding officer or
thattiistinguished body, I had a splen-
did opportunity to observe with what
remarkable fidelity you served
interests of the good people of
own district and of the State, how
true you were at all times and in the
face of formidable opposition to the
interests of the plain people when any
invasion of their rights was threaten-
ed by the representatives of special
or sinister interests, how firm and
dependable you were on all occasions
in the support of moral legislation
and how earnest and sincere you were
in your service to the State.—C. W.
Taylor.

To the American Public:
Do you believe in arbitration or indus-

The train employes on all the railroads
are voting whether they will give their leaders
authority to tie up the commerce of the
country to enforce their demands for a 100
million dollar wage increase.
The railroads are in the public service—
your service. This army of employes is in
the public service—your service.
You pay for rail transportation 3 billion
dollars a year, and 44 cents out of every
dollar from you goes to the employes.

“About two years ago I had a se-
vere attack of diarrhoea which lasted
for over a week,” writes W. C. Jones,
; Buford, N. D. “I oecame so weak that
I could not stand upright. A drugs
gist recommended Chamberlain’s
Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Rem-
edy. The first dose relieved me and
within two days I was as well as
ever.” Obtainable everywhere.
I do not know who is running
against you, but I am sure that no
man could be found who was more !
faithful in the attendance to the
duties of the office, or who stood
more unwaveringly for what he be-
lieved to be the best interests of his
people, nor who was a better prohi-

rights of the common people.—O. S.

ed by my opponent.
The fact that some of the men,
who are "sore” at me for doing my
duty towards them, have not come
forward with some of the evidence
so commonly read in political cam-
paigns, is the best evidence that a
fair minded voter can want as to my
conduct since I have been in office.
You know that, if there was a sus-
picion, they would magnify and
photograph it and send it to every
voter.
If I had misappropriated a dollar
of the county’s money, or had know-
ingly permitted it to be done, you may
be sure you would have heard a fa-
miliar political noise. You need no
better evidence of this than to know
that their only effort to beat me is
to scatter broad cast a report that,
because I once did the hardest kind
of labor to earn money to go to
school, and because I have risen to
my present position, while I am yet
a young man, possibly I am “stuck
up” or have the “big-head.” If these
noisy fellows had a shadow of a
chance to sustain an attack upon my

Such a charge has been made

A 100 million dollar wage increase for
men in freight and yard service (less than
one-hfth of all employes) is equal to a 5 per
cent advance in all freight rates.
The managers of the railroads, as trustees
for the public, have no right to place this
burden on the cost of transportation to you
without a clear mandate from a public tri-
bunal speaking for you.
I he railroads have proposed the settle-
ment of this controversy either under the
existing national arbitration law, or by refer-
ence to the Interstate Commerce Commis-
sion. I his offer has been refused by the
employes’ representatives.
Shall a nation-wide strike or an
investigation under the Gov-
ernment determine this issue?

I well as entertaining.
After the speaking, a reception was

I refreshment.
This being the last week of the
campaign, I wish to thank my friends
for the interest taken in my candi-
dacy for a second term of the County
Judge’s office. When an honest of-
ficial has given his entire time to a
fearless discharge of his duties, and
when he sees that his friends lake
enough interest in him to investigate
and learn that such a desire to serve
his county has at all times controlled
his actions, he naturally feels very
grateful. My efforts to be re-elect-
ed have been made upon my record
as a fearless servant of the people.
If I cannot win a second term in
Hunt county without playing poli-
tics at the county’s expense, it can-
not be won in any county in Texas.
I know that a majority of our citi-
zens stand for those principles for
which I have stood without refer-
ence to popularity.
For more than six months I have
challenged any one, who can show
that I have at any time or place
knowingly failed to do my duty, to
