asks for
Second T erm
TO THE VOTERS OF PRECINCT NO. ONE:
0 In asking- you for your continued support and my r< -election to a
second term, I wish to tell you of the accomplishments of t1 is. my first,
term.
Taxes Reduced
% In campaigning last election I told you that I would help reduce the
taxes. The County tax rate has been reduced eighteen cents, and in
addition to this the rate in Road I list rict No. One, in which t his precinct
is located, has heen reduced thirty-live cents.
Repairing of Court House
% We have made permanent and very badly needed improvements on
the Court House, which was paid for without ha\ ing to ■ re.11. any bond-
ed debt for this purpose. 1 believe that this county should be proud of
our fine Court House, which is comfortable, modern and in perfect con
(lition, and still has the sentiment which its fifty-seven years gives it.
Improvement of Roads
# I have made a diligent effort to maintain the roads in my precinct,
and it has been my purpose to see that each tax payer has been helped
rather than put all of the money on a few roads. 1 have caliched ap-
proximately twenty-five miles of roads, including W. P. A. projects
within my precinct. In this connection 1 have given unsparingly of my
time and thought, and have kept in close contact with the work, thus
obtaining the greatest efficiency possible from the men on the work.
0 I promised when I was campaigning that I would have no favorites
when it. came to working men on county work. Instead of giving all
the work to a few men, I have scattered the work to as many men as I
possibly could. In doing this I helped to keep a number of families off
relief. In order to show you how I kept my promise I want to show you
the number of different men I worked each month during Janu-
ary, 48 men; February, NT men; March, !Mi men; April. (i'l men; May,
! () men; June, 10 men; July, 77 men; August, ! !i mm; September, 101
men; October, 2N men; November, 17 men, and December men,
% If you see tit to re-elect tne I promise that I will continue to give
you the same kind of work that 1 have given you during this term and
will appreciate each vote 1 receive next Saturday.

Misleading and
Deceptive
—1>—
Mailed on July 17 from Wash-
ington, in a Government envelope,
Clyde (iarrett has addressed a
personal letter, written on Govern-
ment stationery, to American Leg
ionnaircs advising that he had fav-
ored preferring them and their
families over all other persons for
relief employment, and in appoint-
ment of post masters, rural car-
rier positions, and as census enum-
erator-, and appealing for their
support.
He enclosed them what purport-
to be a reprint from the Congres-
sional Record for .June 22, i!M0,
asserting same were his "Remark-
in the House of Representatives."
lie made no such remarks in the
House of Repre-entatives.
Just before the Hou-e adjourn-
ed on Saturday, June 22, (iarrett
wa granted permission to extend
his remark- in the appendix of the
Record. (See page l.'(f>2ll. After
adjournment, that Saturday night,
Mr. Garrett prepared and printed
in the appendix not one, but two
"Kxtension of Remarks"; the first
headed "National Defense" is on
pages 13678, I3(i7!l, 13680, and
13681, co.-ting the people $45 per
page, in which he wrote:
"I have fully realized, and con
sistently adhered to the common
rule of the House that a new mem-
ber should he seen and not heard."
After four years, and being in
ix e -ion- of Congress, Mr. Gar
rett admits that he has "to be seen
and not heard."
His second "Kxten ion of Re
mark-" headed "Veteran Legisla-
tion" mailed to Veterans is on page
I36!>0 and 136!) I of the appendix
of the Record. As prepared, writ-
ten and printed by him, it em-
braces the following sentence,
which he left out and omitted from
the reprint lie mailed the Veterans,
to-wit:
"I do not blame the Veterans'
Administration for its lack of
sympathy, or the -eeming harsh
noss of Its decision.- in so many of
these cases. Like the veterans,
they, too, have been on the job for
years."
And in lieu of the above soft
naping he gave the Veteran ' Ad
tration, he inserted ill the
ed reprint he sent the vet
erans the following which does not
appear in hi article in the appen-
dix, to wit:
"In the light of existing vetei

INFANTILE PARALYSIS
IS SUMMER
AUSTIN.—Dr. Geo. V. Cat
state health officer, stated tktt In-
fantile paralysis, like typhoid f«V-
1 er, is largely a summer diseaM. Al-
though cases may occur during aqy
month of the year, over half th
total cases occur during July, Aa
gust, September and Octafar
Through June. 30, fifty-three eaaa«
of poliomyelitis (infantile paraly
sis) had been reported to th* Stat
Health Department.
Direct contact between jieraoii
is the chief factor in the spread •
infantile paralysis, fiecause of tit
seasonal prevalence of the diseaae
flies and other insects have bed
suspected of conveying the viru
or germ. Insect transmission hai
not, however, been demonstrated
Although animals are subject t<
paralysis, they are seemingly ao
susceptible to the human type ai
this paralytic disease. Carrier,
are difficult to determine; LW.-
fact makes advisable the reductiai.
to a minimum of human contact
during any outbreak of the dia-
ease.
Karly symptoms of infantOe
paralysis comprise headache, fever,
vomiting, bowel disorder, drowv-
ness and irritability, followed by
neck or back stiffness. Prompt
medical care, early recognition
and reporting of cases make poo-
si hie the use of valuable preventive
and control measures.
After the acute stage of thf
disease has passed and walking ii
permitted the patient, under ae
circumstances must the affected
part of the body be fatigued. It
is thus observed that the secret of
successful rehabilitation lies in
continuance of professional guid-
ance and large doses of patience.
Children under five are mora
susceptible to the disease, and all
children under twelve should be
watched for suspicious syinptonu
Your family physician s*hould b*
called at once and physician
should report all rases to local an
state health authorities iminediatt
ly. When the disease occurs, ai"
cases should be isolated for twea
ty-one days. All milk should be
boiled unless it is pasteurized.
Children should not visit hoinet
where the disease, or symptoms of
the disease, exists. Promptness ia

important factor in control meaa-
