A CANDIDATE
Congressman Thos. L Blanton of
Abilene has not withdrawn his ob-
jection to the name of Ernest G.
Albright going on the democratic
ticket as a candidate for congress
against him, but will insist that
the fifteen counties which have
left Albrights name of the ticket
“obey the law," and leave it off.
The statement from Congress-
man Blanton was prompted by a
telegram which he said Albright
had wired to county chairmen over
the district, saying Blanton had
withdrawn his objection to Al-
bright’s name going on the ballot,.
The congressman had announced
Friday in his speech at Sweetwater
that he would not seek an Injunc-
tion to get Albright’s name off the
ticket in the four counties where
the democratic executive commit-
tee had agreed to put it on.
The statement issued late Satur-
day by Judge Blanton was as fol-

Contrary to the old idea that ad-

cheaper. Some people believe that
they help to pay for the advertis-
ing when 'they see an article wide-
ly advertised. They never look at
it from the standpoint of volume.
- The larger the volume, the lower
the price Advertising creates a
larger demand for any commodity
and this demand enables the facto-
ry to produce on a larger scale
