are, as you will see, just a little
oat of the ordinary.”

DON'T ASK IT
Why does the Banker object so seriously to carry-
inf- Overdrafts? The answer is easy. An Overdraft
is merely an unsecured Loan.
The Banker has a responsibility to his depositors.
H‘- cannot permit their money to be risked that way.
Do not ask this Bank to honor your check if you
haven’t sufficient funds. You are simply asking us
to let you have some of our depositors money with-
out security. We can’t do that, for it is not in line
with our sound business policy.

Dallas, Texas, Aug. 15,—
State Senator Thomas B. Love,
one of the leaden of the
Democratic forces in Texas ap-
posed po the election of Gover-
nor Alfred E. Smith, Tuesday
announced his withdrawal
from the race for lieutenant
governor. '
As a result of Senator Lov e’s
withdrawal, Lieutenant Gover-
nor Barry Miller will be the
only candidate for that office.
When informed of his oppo-
nent’s withdrawal from the
race, Lieutenant Governor MIL
ler declined to issue a state-
ment, other than expressing
curiosity as to whether Love
had “jumped on” him in Us
statement
The names of both Love and
Miller were certified for plac-
ing on the primary ballot by
toe state Democratic exeewtive
committee at its meeting Mon-
day at San Antonio.
In announcing his withdraw-
al from the race, Senator Lowe
said:
“Looking squarely at alt
phases of the situation, I do
believe it most improbable that
I can overcome the substantial
lead of my opponent and ob-
tain a majority of votes in toe
run-off primary; that to farther
continue the contest would
serve no useful purpose, but
would result in a waste of
time and effort and zeal on
toe-part qf_ toy" friends trhick
ought to be utilised in defeat-
ing Ai Smith In November.”
Senator love pointed out
that the recent decision of toe

under which' several county
executive committees were up-
held in barring his name from
the lrat primary ballot makes it
poasible for his name to be
barred in the second primary.
