NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC
Any erroneous reflection upon the character, standing or reputation of any
poraoa. Arm or corporation which may ap *ear in the columns of the Pionkkk:
p||| bo gladly corrected »n b»*ing brought to the attention of the managen'ent.

The candidates for Governor of
Texas, on the Democratic ticket,
are Neff, Looney, Thomason and
Bailey. Its your privilege to
judge them and take your choice.
There is considerable inquiry
among Democrats as to whether
Hoover is wet or dry, but per-
haps he can’t decide that any
better than* he can decide to
which party he belongs.— Phila-
delphia Press.
Governor W. P. Hobby has an-
nounced positively that he will
not run for Governor again, but
that he is a candidate for delegate
at large to the National Demo-
cratic convention. The Govern-
or’s announcement virtually as-
sures that the present field of
gubernatorial candidates will re-
main unchanged until the July
primaries.
The Mexican government has
threatened by force to prevent
the exodus of Mexican workers to
the United States, according to
late advices from the City of
Mexico. The large numbers of
Mexican laborers that are said
to be leaving Mexico, is seriously
endangering numerous industries
of that region and a large area
of farm lands through lack of
cultivation is apprehended.
Fort Stockton’s streets have
looked almost deserted for sever-
al weeks, but there is a good rea-
son for their apparent dullness.
We have a fine lot cf farmers
that have A Go Ahead Spirit,
and this being the time for fertil-
izing and irrigating, and other-
wise preparing their alfalfa and
grain fields tor the harvesting
season, they are losing no time
in looking after (heir profitable
irrigated farm interests.
BAILEY DECUNES THOMASON'S
CHALLENGE
Former Senator J. W. Bailey
declines Senator Thomason’s
challenge to submit their guber-
natorial candidacies to a special
primary in Cook County. The
following is the text of Mr. Bai-
ley’s telegram from Washington
to John J. Simmons of Dallas,
declining the Thomason chal-
lenge:
“If I could bring myself to lie-
lieve that the people of any coun-
ty should be accorded the right
to select a Governor for all the
people of Texas. I would gladly
consider that, but believing as I
do that the people of every coun-
ty in the State are entitled to a
a voice in that question of nomi-
nation of their Governor. If this
were merely a contest between
Mr. Thomason’s personal ambi-
tion and my ambition to be Gov-
ernor of Texas, I would recog-
nize our right to settle it by cast-
ing lots or in any other way we
might choose, but to me it is not
that kind of a contest. I have
become a candidate for Governor
against both my interest and my
inclination in the hope that I can
thus help to restore certain dis-
crepancies in the administration
and I cannot let a few people in
any county settle a question that
is of so much importance to the
entire State, and cannot agree to
any arrangement that my judg-
jment tells me is against this. I
i I would rather be accused un-
justly than forfeit the approval
of my deliberate judgment.
(Signed) J. W. Bailey."

that these periods of prevalence

well promoted financially, a good

TIRE CONSERVATION DAY
G. H. Knight, of El Paso,
traveling salesman, and R. P.
Morgan, service station manager,
for the Goodyear Tire & Rubber
Co., were at Pace & Denny’s
Garage, the Goodyear tire head-
quarters in Fort Stockton, last
Saturday. * Mr. Morgan is an
expert on construction of tires
for motor vehicles, and was here
to give demonstrations in repair-
ing tires. It is held that more
tire mileage is lost by motorists
through neglect and improper
care than from all other causes,
i Many local motor vehicle owners
called and learned how their
tires are constructed, and the
most approved methods of caring
for them.
