The Hereford Brand, Friday, July 17, 1914
T the V«m «f thi 123rd Riprt-
Sen who Are fighting fiercely in albania
Sly fellow :
Iaprasesd with the idea ti veil
u Ilk «%Restion of many of *ny
friends thatMtWiwwu agricul-
tural and stock raiting district, it
shoold be represented in the next
Legislature by a practical and fi-
perienced farmer and stockman.
Having a loog life of experience
along these lines and also four years
experience in the Legislature, I be-
lieve, and my friends believed that'
I could intelligently and effieientty
represent those great interests. Aod
in view of the further fact that this
portion of the state has uever been
represented by any other than a
lawyer and editor, it was thought
eminently just and right that a
practical, successful and business;
farmer and stockman should be >
selected to represent this district.
Hence my candidacy and appeal for
your votes.
I was born and reared to early
manhood in Virginia and my educa-
tion was from the common schools
•ad one of the best academies in
Senth West Virginia. I settled in
Hant county, Texas, in 1873 and
came to the Plains in January, 1902.
Sa I feel that I understand conditions
la Texas generally and of the Plains
eountry especially.
1st. I shall favor the most rigid
economy in the expenditures of our
government consistent with an effi-
cient administration of same. In
the last twenty or twenty-five years,
the expenses of our state govern-
ment has increased from about
$2,000,000 to $7,000,000. In other
words the cost of our State govern-
ment has increased in this time from
50c per capita to $1.65 per capita or
about 230 per cent.
Our penitentiariest which a few
years ago were yielding the state a
handsome revenue, have now fasten-
ed upon us a burden of over SJ,000,-
000, and still going in debt.
This does not indicate good econ-
omy or good business management.
The people should wake up.
2nd. I favor the fullest develop- j
ment of our educational institutions,
especially our rural schools, our
Normals and the Agricultural and
Mechanical Colleges. I favor the
separation of the A. & M. College
from the main University and a just
division of the funds between the
two institutions. I also favor com-
pulsory school attendance of all
children between the ages of 8 to 12
or 14 years and from 3 to 5 months
in the year.
3rd. Our eleemosynary institu-
tions should be properly provided for.
4th. I favor a co-oporation of the
state with the farmers in the estab-
lishment of warehouses and a good
marketing system for the benefit of
the farmer.
5th. I have been a life-long pro-
hibitionist and shall vote for sub-
mission on the 25th and in the Legis-
lature if a majority of the people
vote for it.
6th. I favor protecting women
and dhildren from working undue
hours in factories and workshops.
7th. I oppose the repeal or
amendment of our stock and bond
law. The same • conditions and

into a basin of concrete This bisin
measures some four feet high and
some twelve feet wide. Connected
with this and of the same height and
width, is another basin wh« h serves
as a weir for measuring tne amount
