Close Race Between Some
* the State Candidates in
Saturday Election
The home of Mr. and Mrs. Jos.
Pavlica was the scene of most
joyous event last Monday, after-
noon and night, the occasion be-
ing the marriage of their daugh-
ter, Miss Fannie Pavlica to Mr,
Emil Hutyra. The marriage
service was held at the Catholic
Church early Monday morning,
after which the wedding party,
accompanied by a large number
of friends and invited guests,
motored out to the home of the
brides parents, about four miles
southwest of the city, where an
infare was held and a sumptu-
ous dinner was served.

Thomason’s campaign manager friends continued to call at the
big, hospitable surburban home,
to extend congratulations and
best wishes to the newly wed-
ded couple.
In the evening more than a
hundred guests were served
with a most tempting repast
from a table that fairly groaned
under its weight of good things
to eat.
After the supper had been
desposed of, the Kohut band
struck up a popular air and soon
numerous couples were gliding

show that J. W. Bailey has poll-
ed about 5,500 votes more than
his nearest opponent, Pat M.

certain that these two will be
on the ticket in the run-off pri-
mary. Thomason has signified
his intention of supporting Neff
in the run-off. Looney, in a
published statement, says he

of last Saturday cannot vote

remarkable sets of personal pa-

Judge George Brown was
elected Justice of the Peace of
this precinct by a “unanimous”
vote.
His friends were loyal to N.
A. Coston, former West citizen,
and rolled him up a magnificent
majority. But it is likely that
this is the only box in the county
giving him a majority. Les-
ter winning in the county by a
vote of 3 to 1.
J. W. (Bill) Emmons carried
every box in the district iff his
race for county commissioner
against E. A. Harrell, with the
exception of Elm Mott and
Frost. At the former place
there was a tie in the vote, and
at Frost, Harrell received a ma-
jority. This was Harrell’s
horn box. Emmons had a clear
majority over all of 420.
Of the three candidates for
representative, endorsed by the
Non-Parti^n League, Stanislav
of this city polled the greatest
vote, running far ahead of Ec-
kert and Spencer, not only at
West, but in the other boxes in
this district.

Dallas, July 26.—Something
must be done to keep the peo-
ple on the farm and enable
them to make more than a bare
living or there will be a real
shortage of food, Congressman
Hatton W. Summers declared
here recently in an address be-
fore the Dallas Advertising
league. “And I doubt whether
we will get the necessary re-
construction legislation before
we have eaten up the narrow
margin of food surplus,” he
warned.
Mr. Summers said that at the
time of the revolutionary war,
4 per cent of the inhabitants of
the United States lived in towns.
This had grown to 18 per cent
at the time of the civil war and
has now grown to 50 per cent,
he said. “I want to warn you
city builders.” he added, “you
are taking the stones from the
foundation and building them
into fragil but gilded superstruc-
structure.”
Right back of the high cost
of living is the question of
where enough food is going to
be found, he declared. If the
farmer is successful with his
crop, then he must sell to the
highest bidder, Mr. Summers
pointed out, as the financial in-
terests which back up industry
have failed to work out a sys-
tem for financing the farm so
the farmer himself shall profit.
There must be equality of op-
portunity to secure equilibrium
of populatioi), and the farmer
boy will have to be able to get
as much net profit as he can get
any other place if he is expect-
ed to stay on the farm. Mr.
Summers insisted that democ-
racy in government cannot be
preserved unless there is democ-
racy in business opportunity.

LOWER PRICES ARE SEEN
COMING FOR QLOTHING

/ehige
Lower prices for necessaries
depends largely i£On cutting the
cost of production. In the
present attitude of the labor
unions there appears a difficult
obstacle. Arty proposal to re-
duce wage schedules is met by
threats of strikes^ Nor are the
workers who won the eight
hour day, or even greater re-
duction in hours, inclined to
surrended these concessions,
says Daily Financial* America.
A circular letter issued by
the Dress and Waist Manufac-
turers Association of? this icity,
however says there is a ' real
drop in wages coming. | Th
cline is predicted in the avei
annual income rather than in
the wage scales. It iwxpiaiped
that overtime, bonuses'and -*~
ilar concessions, until* a
weeks ago swelled wages
more than the fiat incri
rates of pay. Now that
ness is slowing down
ment is not so plentiful. ^ Over-
time pay is ceasing ani
time will take its pla<je. In the"
number of dollars which the
wage-earners actuals receive
these garment manufacturers
are looking for a drop when the
next reaction in general busi-
ness sets in.
No doubt these additions to
labor’s portion have helped in
the undue increase of clothing
profits. These have soared far
beyond the advances in food,
housing, fuel, furnishings and
miscellaneous necessaries, as
Federal inquiries have shown. /
Apparently some relief in the
cost of producing clothing is
being brought about in the find
processes. More substantial
decreases can not be obtained,
however, until cheaper textiles
are produced by the big cotton ©,
and woolen and silk industries,
which supply materials for gar- to
ments. f (
