The Real Truth
To the Voters of Grayson
County:
My opponent has put out a misleading circular at
the eleventh hour of this campaign. The people are
tired of such tricks,
My opponent has been playing politics in the Texas
Legislature instead of qualifying himself for the office
of District Attorney of Grayson County and now seeks
to conceal this truth by a. smoke-screen circular. He has
had some of this material for more^ than a year. Why
did he conceal it until the last of this campaign?
My Opponent’s Record!
My opponent claims he fought for the pensions. The
record shows the opposite to be true. He voted against
a number of pension measures (House Journal, pp. 1635,
1283-4-5). S. J. R. 12 was up five times for a direct vote
by the House of Representatives. My opponent fought
this measure and voted against it four times out of five
until the closing days of the session. On June 8, 1939,
shortly before the session ended, my opponent straddled
the fence and voted for S. J. R. 12. (House Journals,
Mar. 23, Apr. 29, May 2, 3, 4, 5, 10). It was then too
late to accomplish anything and my opponent knew it!
In the closing days of the longest legislative session in
Texas history, my opponent refused to serve without
pay until the pensions were financed. (House Jour-
nal p. 4358). How sincere was he?. If my opponent had
been sincere in wanting to pay the old people their pen-
sions he would have asked you to return him to the
Legislature for a second term to finish the job instead
of leaving it unfinished to seek a job he is not qualified
to fill. I call upon him now to answer to you why he did
not stick with the trust you placed in him two years ago
and ask to be returned to the Legislature to finish the
job he left unfinished.
MY OPPONENT IS A MEMBER OF THE 46TH
LEGISLATURE—THE ONE THAT WAS IN SES
SION LONGER, SPENT MORE MONEY, AND DID
LESS THAN ANY OTHER IN THE HISTORY OF
TEXAS!
My opponent has copied, in his huge circular, letters
from Austin labor lobbyists (whom he probably favored
in the Legislature). IF OUR LOCAL LABOR UN-
IONS REFUSE TO ENDORSE HIM, THEN HE
SHOULD NOT GO TO AUSTIN TO GET EN-
DORSEMENTS IN AN EFFORT TO MISLEAD
THE PEOPLE!
MY RECORD!
Ralph Elliott has had four times as much experi-
ence as a prosecutor as his opponent has had. JOR
ALMOST FOUR YEARS RALPH ELLIOTT HAS
TRIED MORE FELONY CRIMINAL CASES THAN
ANY OTHER LAWYER IN GRAYSON COUNTY.
During this time his opponent has tried only four.
This is the fact that he seeks to hide from you by his
smoke-screen circular!
I have not been a member of the Legislature but
I cast my first vote - the only time that I ever had
an opportunity to do so - for the Amendment to the
Constitution for the old people.
I have no relatives practicing law in Grayson
County. If I am elected your District Attorney all
lawyers and litigants will receive the same fair and
courteous treatment. My opponent’s father-in-law
and brother-in-law are both attorneys in Grayson
County specializing in criminal practice. Law en-
forcement in Grayson County should not be a family
affair. If I am elected your District Attorney I will
be the District Attorney and no member of the Bar will
dictate my policies. I owe no favors to the members
of the Bar and no one will be dictating to me how to
run my office. I have prepared myself to serve you
and believing that I am fully capable - I am asking
you to promote me to the office of District Attorney.
It is my sincere desire to serve my native county. IF
I AM ELECTED IT WILL BE MY POLICY TO
TREAT ALL CITIZENS ALIKE. I AM NO MAN’S
MAN AND WEAR NO MAN’S COLLAR EXCEPT
THE COLLAR OF AMERICANISM AND DEMOC-
RACY.
Sincerely yours,
Ralph Elliott
Candidate for Criminal Di§f!rict
Attorney of Grayson County.
