lhe citizens are urged to write the name of J. N. Howard on the ballot for
Executive Chairman of the Democratic Party, and scratch the name of the present
incumbent, H. F. Lewis. Below is the announcement of the said J. N. Howard:
At the solicitation of my friends, I have consented to place my name
before the public for the office of Executive Chairman of the Democratic
Party. My name will not appear cm the ballot, and I ask that the voters
write it on the ticket. At the time that I received a written notice
that an assessment had been made against me, in order that my name
should be placed on the ballot, the application having been made by my
friends, I was out of town. I did not get back home in time to investigate
the matter, as I did not know that an assessment had been made against
the Chairman in the past. When I returned, it was too late, so I was
informed, and my name was left off the ballot.
If the voters see fit to write my name on the ticket, and scratch the
name of the present incumbent, H. F. Lewis, then, I pledge the people
that I will render a public sworn statement of the expense of each and
every election held under my supervision. The books will be open to
inspection at all times. Any consideration shown me for this office will
be greatly appreciated;
SINCERELY,
This space paid for by the friends of J. N. Howard, who urge the voters to write his
name on the ballot, and scratch the name of the present incumbent, H. F. Lewis.

CONNOR BABY FOUND [
NEAR HOME
HARTSDALE, N, Y., July 17.—
Baby Bobby Connor, found sci’atched
but smiling in nearby woods after he
had been missing for five days, lay
seriously ill of exposure and starva-
tion tonight while police expressed
belief he had been abducted and
t freed.
“I am forced to the conclusion that
it must have been a kidnaping,” said
Captain Philip J. McQuillan, head of
the Greenberg police.
“I feel that the baby was placed in
the woods (which had been searched
frequently) in the last 24 hours. I \
don’t think he could have crawled
or walked that far back into the
woods.”
Twenty-one months old Bobby uas
discovered in a bramble thicket a half
mile back of his parents’ home in
midafternoon by Sergeant Jerome
Hogan accompanied by Other Rossele
Dunckle of Greenberg.
His mother fainted. The boy was
put in a blanket and rushed to a
hospital.
Dr. C. W. Munger, head of the in-
stitution, reported he was suffering
from exposure and lack of food and
water. It appeared, he said, the child
1 received no water in four days.
“The baby is in a very precarious
condition but has a fair chance to re-
cover,” Dr. Munger added after com-
pleting his examination.
Because of Bobby’s weakened con-
dition—he had lost between 10 and
12 pounds, half his weight—he was
given 100 cubic centimeters of his
father’s blood early in the evening.
There was no evidence Bobby had
been mistreated, the examination
showed. He was still wearing the
pink rompers in which his mother
had dressed him Thursday.

SENATOR Me,
j THE VOTERS OF
LAMPASAS COUNTY
Due to the fact that it has been
physically impossible for me to make
a close canvass of the county, I adopt
this method of soliciting the support
of the citizenship of Lampasas coun-
ty in my race for the position of
Representative of the District com-
posed of Lampasas, San Saba and
McCulloch counties.
If elected I can only promise to
put forth my best efforts to obtain
those things that will be beneficial
to the people I represent, as well as
to the citizenship of Texas as a whole.
| I stand for many reforms in our
criminal procedure, as well as some
amendments to our Civil Statutes, all
of which will, to my mind, be of in-
estimable benefit to our entire people.
Space forbids a discussion of these
changes, but in view of the fact that
I served the people of Lampasas coun-
ty for six years in official capacities,
I am sure that my views on most
questions are well known to the ma-
jority of the voters of the county.
I solicit your support on what' I
conceive to be my own merits, and
assure you that if elqpted to the posi-
tion to which I aspire I will show my
appreciation of your confidence by
working for those things that will be
for the betterment of my constitu-
ency.
Respectfully,
(d-w) W. H. Adkins.

CHICAGO, July 161—“We surely
need rain!”
Every mid-western town has echoed
with that remark, but they’ve prob-
ably said it most often in Miles City,
Mont., this year.
In Miles City only 1.43 inches of
rain have fallen since January 1, the
U. S. weather burea said Sunday, and
thus Miles City led stations covered
by the middle western bureau in arid-
ity.
While no towns in the mid-west
have been completely rainless, Fort
Smith, Ark., has hung up a record
with 33 conscutive days with less than
.01 inches of rain, until a Saturday
cloudburst brought relief.
But North Loup, Neb., and Garden
City, Kan., were not far behind. In
North Loup only 2.22 inches were re-
corded and enly 2-54 in the Kansas
town.

WASHINGTON, July 17.—So far
as labor department records go, no
general strike in recent history has
succeeded.
Labor department officials said
many strikes had succeeded but that
no movement', general in its nature,
which threatened industrial paralysis
to a city or nation, had lasted more
than a brief period. In every case,
the workers failed to get the demands
which precipitated the dispute.
Instances similar to the San Fran-
cisco strike, they said, are few.
The (closest parallel occturredi in
Seattle in 1919. This strike lasted
only five days but labor experts said
it lacked the preparation and the
solidarity of sentiment displayed thus
far in San Francisco. A Winnipeg
general walkout that same year was
also of short duration.
The general strike in Great Britain
in 1926 was preceded by a long series
of labor disturbances. Extremely ef-
fective for a while, it collapsed.
Officials said they recall but three
instances in this country, since the
union movement gained strength,
where federal troops were called out
because of strikes.
The best known, probably, was dur-
ing Cleveland’s administration. In
1894, he put soldiers on duty to en-
able the movement of mail trains and
this had much to do with the failure
of a railroad walkout which began as
there were only 653. Last year the
number increased to 1373.
This country—like other industrial
nations—has bloody pages in its his-
tory as the result of such strife. Hun-
dreds have been killed and property
worth millions of dollars destroyed.
Twenty-two persons were killed in
a single day in, Pittsburgh when mili-
tiamen went into action in the great
Pennsylvania Railroad strike of 1877.
Bradstreet’s estimated the damage
during the 1894 Pullman strike in Chi-
cago at $80,000,000.
Strikes took place in America even
before the revolution. The first one
recorded in the labor department’s
files was a walkout by New York
bakers in 1741 to protest working
terms.
The Pennsylvania Railnoad strike
of 1877, called to protest a wage cut,
was one of the first great ones. Hun-
dreds of cars were burned. Tracks
were torn up. Both the militiamen
and the strikers had artillery in the
streets of the steel center

The steel industry had another
large scale strike in 1919 wdien Wil-

stead strike, the 1919 walkout col-
lapsed.
A notable instance of federal in-
tervention in a strike came in 1902
when President Theodore Roosevelt,
in answer to a nation-wide clamor,
called Chiefs of the 'United Mine

operators to the White House to dis-
cuss a prolonger strike in the Penn-
