Tom James
FOR
ATTORNEY GENERAL
VOTE
MAT 5
Tom James believes...
That the weaknesses and many of the problems that
confront our government at all levels are due to our
failure to accept our responsibilities in politics, and
hence, in government.
If government seems to be blind to the practical prob-
lems in business, it is because business men have failed
their reponsibility to make their voices heard in govern-
ment. The same is true of every other viewpoint in Amer-
ican life.
Tom James is a young man who has had years of ad-
ministrative experience in the field of business, in addi-
tion to his training and experience in the field of law. As
such, he is exceptionally well-equipped to handle the
duties of the office of Attorney General of Texas in a
manner to benefit the people of the entire state.
