JIM LANGDON-A WINNER!
Railroad Commissioner
Jim Langdon is a 49-year-
old native Texan with a
winning record in public
office. When John Con-
nelly appointed him to
the Railroad Commission,
the Governor said:
"I have for several
weeks been attempt-
ing to find a man I
consider to have out-
standing ability, in-
tegrity and honor...
I am nappy we have
found that man —
Judge Jim C. Lang-
don." . _
Jim Langdon has fully lived up to Governor Con-
nelly’s expectations. He has conducted his office in the
spirit of Governor Jim Hogg, who had the Commission
set up in 1891 to look after the public interest in rail-
road and freight rates. It now regulates also truck and
bus rates and the production of oil and gas. Judge
Langdon will continue to keep transportation rates in
line and see to it that our oil reserves are protected
against waste and greed, this will help keep down Texas
gasoline prices, already among the lowest in the nation.
Jim Langdon was elected District Judge twice and
re-elected Chief Justice of the El Paso Court of Civil
Appeals.
