Allred Hits The
Campaign Trail In
West Texas
With the preliminaries behind him,
James V. Allred, candidate for Unit-
ec'. States Senator, swung into the
main bout this week, taking his can-
didacy direct to the voters on the
wide plains of West Texas.
In old-time fighting trim, the
former Governor let loose the fire oi
campaign oratory in a series of stump
speeches.
Allred unfolded more chapters in
the "Book of O'Daniel," which to
his opening Wichita Falls speech he
promised to reveal strictly from the
written record during his campaign.
Leveling a blast at those obstruc-
tionists in congress who blocked for-
tifications at Guam and other Pacific
outposts, Allred declared:
"The blood of every boy . who
fought at Corregdor r in Java is up-
on the hands of the isolationists with
whom our junior senator aligned
himself by his first speech and vote."
Allred quoted from the "Book of
O'Daniel" the present senator's vote
against extension of selective service
after he "had pledged himself to help
the President 'get the job done.' "
Before heading into West Texas,
Allred appeared before the state dem-
ocratic executice committee in Aus-
tin Monday to champion the right ot
service men to vote in party primaries.
Allred put the weight of personal
argument behind his request, first
made in a letter to E. B. Germany,
chairman of the committee, that the
committee clearly define that right
so that no county official aiwdvhere
in the state, would turn service men
away from the ballot box.
The candidate opened his West
Texas drive Tuesday before political
gatherings in El Palo, add from there
went to Big Spring. Duffing the week
he will have addrewed poltical meet-
ings in Lubbock, Amarillo and Chil
dremHttiMS" ' *
