A vote for Campbell is a vote for
good government.
We find that there are a number of
Baptists who have caught on to the
Jim Ferguson crowd’s scheme of
soft-peddling the Brooks boom.
These Baptists have joined hands
with other denominations and organi-
zations in boosting Tom Campbell,
the man who has whipped the inter-
ests of greed and graft whenever pit-
ted against them. Go to the polls to-
morrow and cast your vote for the
friend and champion of the plain peo-
ple, T. M. Campbell.

The Baptist revivalist, Rev. Ham,
the man who whipped the Jim Fergu-
son liquor machine in Bell county,
landing that county in the dry col-
umn, says, “Texas is proud of Tom
Campbell and the state has too few of
his calibre.” Other prominent Bap
list leaders, while admiring Prof.
Brooks, know that Tom Campbell is
the man the pros should rally to if a
victory is won in the second primary.

scheme has fallen flat; the
Waco man will not be in
second primary. Hundreds
of his followers in his own
church and schools have
seen the workings of the
Ferguson forces and have
come over to Campbell, the
man who can win. Prof.
Brooks is all his Baptist
church members and Bay-
lor students claim him to
be, as educatur, preacher
and citizen. But, he has
no “standing” whatever in
the political arena. It re-
quires a man of Campbell’s
caliber to beat back the
common people’s enemies.
He has whipped them; he
can repeat. A vote for
Campbell is a vote for the
best interests of the tax-
payers and against the tax-
eaters. Support him.
