for independence a century ago,

WTCC AT BIG SPRING
MAY 13-14-15
Dates for the 1940 convention of
the West Texas Chamber of Com-
merce have been set as May 13,

er in Big Spring on those dates
for the 22nd annual convention of
the regional organization.

Elections for the selections of
a mayor and two aldermen for
the city and tvro trustees for the
school district have been or-
dered.
The city election is to be held
Tuesday, April 2. and the school
trustee election, Saturday April
6th.
As yet no candidates have of-
fered themselves for city and
school offices. When it is re-
membered that local officers
have more to do with community
welfare than any others it should
be of interest to every voter to
see that conservative men with
constructive ideas are elected.
Right now is a good time to be
thinking of the right name to pro-
pose as a candidate, before the
deadline for nominations closes.

Astute politic! observers in the I* resident of'the JS Jhlb J- M- Cowan, Dallas, a
nation’s capitol agree that Vice
President Garner is the Democra-
tic Party’s best bet for 1940.
Garner’s phenomenal strength
in all sections of the country is
being attributed to four factor’s:
1. He is more experienced in
governmental affairs than any
■other man. He is the only living
man to have presided over both
houses of Congress. He has been
a conscientious public servant in
Washington for more than 35
years.
2. He' is a lifelong liberal of the
practical variety. Most of the
liberal measures enacted during
the past feAv years Avere urged by
Garner long before the New Deal
came into poAver. He has opposed
the NeAV Deal only on question of
extravagant spending and its con-
ciliatory attitude toward sit-doAvn
strikes.
3. His sturdy log-cabin Ameri-
canism is the people’s best safe-
guard against involvement in Avar.
He is a genuine patriot, a believer
in George Washington’s advice
against meddling in foreign dis-
putes.
4. He is a vigorous and rugged
personalty that inspires confiden-
ce. Despite his 70 years, his out-
door life and .clean living have
kept him virile and alert. Morever,
he is a plain American — a home-
body, Avho has been happily mar-
ried to a charming and gracious
wife for more than 40 years.
These attributes of John Garn-
er’s appeal to the best elements in
American life, leading political
observers to believe that he is the
strongest nominee the Party could
select.
ian Association of America, Brat-
tleboro, Vt. has just appointed R.
L. Pou, Dallas, Texas, as Field-
man to present the association in
