After 20 Years.
Twenty years ago, June 28,
a shot was fired at Sarajivo
whieh killed Archduke Franz
Ferdinand and set Europe
and most nations of the
world in conflict. Sixty-five
million men were mobilized
and more than half were cas-
ualties. Fifteen years ago
peace treaties were signed,
the League of Nations creat-
ed to make the world safe
for democracy. Today war
debts are unpaid and nations
are spending more on arma-
ments than ever before.
Where'will it all end? Can’t
the leaders of selfish impov-
erished nations see that war
has already wrecked and al-
most ruined the human race
and another world conflict
will all but finish it?
America’s part in the war
cost 40 billion dollars and
debts are going unpaid. Sure-
ly we will not commit the
folly of entering another War
except in self-defense.
Miss Anna Woodruff
Will Be With
University of Tours
Miss Anna Woodruff, of Coop-
er, will combine study with pleas-
ure beginning this week, as she
leaves with the University of
Tours for a t.wo-months travel
study of America. She will visit
by bus 10,000 miles of the United
States and Canada while taking
regular college courses.
Teachers from forty states be-
gan to gather in Chicago, be-
ginning June 21, for a thrilling
week end attending the 1934 Cen-
tury of Progress Exposition be-
fore splitting into the eastern and
western divisions for the two-
months journey which will span
the continent.
Approximately 800 teachers will
earn college credits upon Univer-
sity of Tours which is a summer
school division of Oklahoma City
University.
included among the wonders of
nature which the tourists will
visit are the Grand Canyon, Yose-
mite National Park, Carlsbad
Caverns. Yellowstone National
Park Canada’s majestic Van-
couver Island. Pikes Peak, the
California Coast, the Painted
iyese-t, and the Petrified Forest.
The teachers will travel under
lhree flags as they tour the Unit-
ed States, Mexico and Canada.
From the quaint old-world at-
mosphere of French Quebec to
the golden sands of sunny Flor-
ida, the eastern group will visit
the out-of-doors marvels and large
cities of the Atlantic coast. New
York, with her canyons of com-
mence: Washington, the Athens,
or America. Boston, hub-city of
Colonial America. New Orleans,
with her crooked foreign streets
bordered with green-shuttered
and scroll-worked French houses;
all of these American meccas will
be stopping points for the happy
wanderers of the 1934 University
of Tours expeditions.
Miss Woodruff will make the
western division tour.
To the People of Delta County:
As previously stated in The
Delta Courier, I have filed my
name for District Clerk and I
take this opportunity of announc-
ing my candidacy. I do not feel
that I need much introduction to
the majority of the people of
Delta County because of the fact
that I have been a citizen for
forty years and have been active
in public life for the greater por-
tion of that time, but for the
benefit of those who have moved
here within the last 15 years and
the boys and girls who have
grown to maturity in the last 20
years it is not amiss to relate
some of my past history, espe-
cially that pertaining to my qual-
ifications.
I served for G years as Deputy
County Clerk, after which I was
elected County Treasurer which
office I held for 4 years. After
retiring from the treasurer’s of-
fice I accepted employment its
bookkeeper and later assistant
cashier of The Farmers National
Bank. After retiring from the
bank—which I did to go in bus-
iness for myself—I entered the
drug business and remained there
for 10 years, when I sold out and
went to work for the City of
Cooper in 1925 as assessor and
collector and secretary and treas-
urer which office I held until Mr.
Hazlewood retired in 1933, mak-
ing 8 years in that capacity.
T merely mention these things
so that you may get some idea
of my public experience and
training and determine in your
mind whether I am qualified to
fill the office.
Those of you who do not know
me and are exacting your quali-
fications for those who aspire to
public office, I invite you to
make a close and careful inves-
tigation and you will find that I
possess every qualification neces-
sary to properly fill the office and
if elected I pledge my very best
efforts toward a competent and
efficient administration of the du-
ties of the office.
I shall start, campaigning the
coming week and it is my pur-
pose to see every voter between
now and July 28th, and if I fail
to do so it will be because you
are not at home or some other
reason over which I had no con-
trol.
I solicit the support of every-
one who feel disposed to vote for
me and hope that I shall convince
a sufficient number of you of my
qualifications to cause me to win.
Thanking each and everyone in
advance for their support, I re-
main, Sincerely,
SAM MORGAN,
Candidate for District Clerk.

Since the announcement of my j
withdrawal from the race for As-
srssor-Collector, I have had quite
a bit of criticism for doing so.
Some of my more intimate
friends tell me that taking such
action at this time when success
seemed so apparent, is prompted
by nothing more or less than be-
ing craziness. I like both criti-
cism and advice when I know they
are coming from friends.
As far as being crazy is con-
cerned, I admit that but insist on
one advantage over some crazy
people, and that is, they are
sometimes crazy and do not know
it, while I am crazy and do know
it.
The Ford business now seems
more certain than ever before,
while office-seeking is always
somewhat uncertain. If I had

friends who are already over-
burdened with taxes, would not
; have afforded me any great a-
mount of comfort or pleasure.
The next Legislature will un-
doubtedly do something to relieve
the tension on the purse of the
tax-payers Should they fail to
do so, I will lend any assistance
possible to help create and en-
fore some form of legislation in
favor of the tax-payers. Person-
ally, the tax rate does not affect
me directly, but right is right

To the Democratic Voters of
Delta County:
I am announcing for the office
of District Clerk of Delta Coun-
ty, and am making this race af-
ter waiting four years. As you
will remember, four years ago I
was a candidate for this office
and received a very substantial
vote. In the run-off primary I
liked only ninety-nine votes win-
ning the office over my oppon-
ent, John Taylor, and following
the Democratic custom of not
running against him for re-elec-
tion, I waited four years, giving
him the opporutnity of serving
two full terms.
I know' I am qualified to fill
this office, having taken special
training in bookkeeping and typ-
ing under Miss Lillie Carrell of
Cooper, and having finished her
course in shorthand, typing and
book-keeping, in addition to pub-
lic schools at Peerless and Coop-
er and Normal School at Denton.
I am asking for this office up-
on my merits alone, believing
that I am as well qualified to fill
this important place as anyone
else asking for It, and knowing
the responsibility of this office. I
wiil endeavor to make the very
best district clerk that I know
how to make when elected.
I have been a Democrat all of
my life and will try to see each
and every voter in Delta County
In person, and appreciate very
much the splendid vote and sup-
port that I received four years
ago. and assure you that I will
