some of you that I Just wanted
this office for two terms. Ail .the
people of Coleman county have been
awfully nice to me, and for this I
am extremely grateful. Hundreds of
my friends really don't see why I
am taking out of politics. They
have come to me personally and
have requested that I run for some
office, mainly County Clerk.
I am hereby announcing that I
will be a candidate for the office
of County Clerk of Ccleman Coun-
ty, Texas, subject to the action of
th^ TJomocratlc Primary, July 27th,

I can say that the present Clerk
has had more political experience
than I, but at the same time with
my experience as ■ District Clerk,
and without any paid help, I have
managed to keep this office going
and in good condition. This, how-
ever, is according to everyone that
has been connected with the office
of District Clerk, and the people
that have been most vitally inter-
ested in the services rendered by it.
I can sincerely say that if you
see fit to elect me to YOUR office
of County Clerk, that office will
receive my undivided attention, and
all the courtesies, while waiting on
the public, and the County Court,
that I can personally give.
Thanking ycu again from the
bottom of my heart, for I am ex-
tremely grateful for all past favors.
I remain
Yours very truly.
