A Strange Meeting
Opens Campaign
Following a month of intensive
peison to person solicitation, Des-
kins Wells will open his speaking
campaign in Wellington, Friday.
June 14. The rally will be held
at the Wellington football field
beginning at 8 o’clock.
The entire Panhandle will watch
this opening with keen interest
and will study the opening speech
of Deck Wells with close atten-
tion, due to the fact that impartial
observers rate the Collingsworth
man as one of the leading can-
didates in the Congressional race.
“The ability of Deskins Wells
to overcome difficult tasks and
his obvious sincerity had attracted
attention long before the present
race started,” Guy Beasley, stock-
man and master farmer, said up-
on being informed of the open-
ing date. “But even those of us
who have known him for 38
years were wondering how he
would stack up in the rough and
tumble of politics. We know now.
Reports from every county in this
district indicate that his cheerful
good humor, and his forthright
honesty are doing the same things
in other counties that they have
done here—winning him stead-
fast friends. We are jubilant over
our chances of electing him to
Congress.”
“I wish every public official in
Texas knew the record of Deck
Wells as mayor of Wellington,”
was the comment of Fred Lederer,
who followed Deskins Wells as
mayor of Wellington. “He reduc-
ed the bonded indebtedness from
$220,000 to $163,000 in four
years without sacrificng any es-
sential services, and at the same
time $50,000 worth of new streets
were built. Futhermore he has
