sioner. Claude Hudspeth for ten
years represented the greater por-
tion of what now forms the new
21st Congressional District, in the
Halls of Congress. It was estimat-
ed that over 2,000 were in attend-
ance.
A wonderful testimonial was
given Runge in the large delega-
tions from McCulloch, Mason,
Llano, Gillespie, Kimble, Schleich-
er, Sutton and Bandera Counties,
and which joined in on the caravan
to help boost Mr. Runge’s candi-
dacy. Over 40 made the nearly
500-mile trip from Brady and re-
turn. the number including mem-
bers of the Brady Municipal Band
and the McDonald Melody Boys.
The Mason Band and the Bug-
scuffle Band from Bandera also
joined in the caravan and aided in
the entertainment programs at the
various points visited.
each point assurance was given of
a heavy vote for Runge. Mean-
while, the delegation from Bandera
had held Runge Rallies at Sabinal
and Uvalde, while enroute to
Brackettville. Runge spoke at all
the places along the route and re-
ceived enthusiastic reception, with
assurance of a heavy vote. At Del
Rio Friday night, a crowd estimat-
ed at 2,000 heard him. He was in-
troduced by Judge Brian Montague,
and it was stated that this was the
biggest gathering ever given any
political speaker in Del Rio.
The picnic at Hudspeth Ranch
■ afforded opportunity for the
ranchers to gather in from over a
wide . territory. Speaking both
morning and afternoon was inter-
spersed with a wonderful barbecue
dinner. Mr. Runge received an
enthusiastic reception when he ad-
dressed the assemblage.
The return trip was made by
way of Sonora, Fort McKavett and
Menard, at each of which points
Runge again spoke.
I he Brady delegation was head-
ed by G. R. White and A. H Broad,
with ranchmen and leading citizens
from Rochelle, Lohn and other
points in the county represented
in the assemblage.

It has been called to our atten-
tion that certain parties have
been severely criticising the Com-
maissioners Court because of their
action last September in leasing
a car to make trips, necessary to be
made in order to properly look af-
ter the County’s business. There
have been so many misleading
statements made that we feel that
the pubic should be given the cor-
rect facts.
In the first place this Court did
not set any new precedent in tak-
ing the course that they did, as a
majority of the counties in Texas
own at least one car and many of
them have one for each Commis-
sioners Precinct.
The only reason that we did not
buy one was because we were
not sure how long it would be
needed, for no one could tell, at
that time, how long it would be
necessary to have some means of
transportation in order to secure
the State and Federal Funds to
which we were entitled. Under
these conditions we leased the car
with the provision in the contract
that should we desire to purchase
it at any time the lease payments
should apply to the purchase price,
which of course will be done. Since
the title was not in us, we could
not register the car as it had to be
(registered by the owner. Those

have used the fact that we did not
suppose register the car to try and make
• think that we were
trying to hide something. When,
I as a matter of fact, anyone knows
I that it was not our place to regis-
ex
ter it, and we could not until it
had been transferred to us, which
has not been done to date.
No member of the Court was fi-
nancially able to purchase a car
out of their salary, and were under
no more obligation to furnish a
car to be worn out in the County’s
service than any other citizen, and
we don't believe that any sensible
person would expect it.
It has proven to be one of the
best investments we have ever
made. During the time wher—the .
government was putting out t..s.
ands of dollars to our County for
C.W.A. and relief, we averaged one
or two trips to Austin every month,
anil by having a means of transpor-
tation whereby we could go when
necessary, we were able to secure
much more relief than we would
otherwise have gotten. On these
trips we almost always carried Mr.
Cox, the Relief Administrator,
with us.
In addition to relief funds se-
cured, we are constantly making
trips to the Highway Department
and to confer with the various
Highway officials; and from this
standpoint alone it has been worth
many times its cost to the tax pay-
ers of McCulloch County. We do
not make this statement for the
purpose of making any defense for
we do not feel that it is necessary
but because of the many misrepre-
sentations that have been made, we
feel that the people are entitled tc
the correct facts, which we are al-
ways glad to give concerning any
of our official acts.
