'Nearly twenty years ago I
i began to observe the studious
habits of a certain young man
at Baylor University. He was
studying history and govern
ment; argumentation and de-
bating; political economy and
law. This young man attracted
the attention of professors and
fellow students by his hard and
persistent study. He won a rep
utation for. his ability 'to go
through a subject to the bottom
He was never satisned with a
superficial answer to a complex
question. At that early period.
like Daniel Webster a hundred
years at Darmouth and John C
Calhoun at Yale two of the
greatest statesmen in early
American history this young
energetic student and poten
tiallv powerful as a scholar was
laying the basic foundation for
j statesmanship in his studies at
Baylor University.
"I was a visitor in Washing-
j ton four weeks ago. I talked
to Senators and Congressmen
from Texas and from other
states. Without an exception
whether they were Texans or
representatives from other
states they ratted Bob Poage
among the effective Congress
men. Without exception too
they cited his ability.
"Our congressman is the
author of a bill already passed
by the House designed to put

of aliens engaging in espionage
or sagotage and any alien con-
tacted of a felony.

American Legion
Urges Interest In
Coming Election
Louis B. Wells Post American
Legion expresses concern over
the apparent lack of interest in
coming election and urges that
every voter study the qualifica-
tions of the candidates before
casting their ballot in a resolu-
tion passed recently.
The resolution is in line with
others being passed by Ameri-
can Legion Posts in thisdistr;ct
and reads:
"The members of Louis B.
Wells Post No. 183 Bartlett
Department of Texas American
Legion view with grave concern
the apparent lack of interest of
the public in the approaching
primary elections.
"We believe that in a period
of stress and uncertainty such
as now exists that it is extreme-
ly important that only qualified
candiates be selected for each
office and we feel that every
qualifiied voter should carefully
examine the record of each can-
didate so that they may be pre-
pared to cast their votes for
those candidates who in their
opinion may most likely be able
to guide the the affairs of our
cities cdunties states and of the
nation in such a manner that this
country may best weather the
present storm.
"We therefore call on all citi
zens in our territory to take an
active interest in the coming
primary election.
(John P. Skinner
Commander
Martin J. PSstasek
Adjutant
The interest of the American
Legion is in the welfare of the
nation not in any candidate. It
is enjoined by its constitution
and by-laws from any participa
tion in partisan politics as an or-
ganization and it does not give
official support to any candidate
in preference to another. Any
member of the American Legion
who is a candidate for public of-
fice should not while campaign-
ing for that office be an officer
in the American Legion.

Judge Few Brewster
Makes Announcement
For Re-election
To Bell County Readers of The
Bartlett Tribune:
In announcing as a candidate
for re-election as District Judge
in Bell Lampasas and Mills
counties I do so of course on
the theory that I have made you
a good official. If I have not
done so then certainly I have
no ground to stand on in asking
you to honor me again with the
office.
Although I have had some re-
versals I pride myself in the
fact that I have tried some 20
contested murder cases that
is cases wherein the defendant
pleaded "not guilty" and was con-
victed. Each of these cases was
either affirmed or the accused
abandoned appeal and accepted
sentence.
On the civil docket I have not
had a single reversal in any case
in which the general public in-
terest was involved. One of
these cases was from Bartlett
but you people will remember
that It was appealed twice and
both times my judgment was af-
firmed by the Court of Civil An-
pt als and by the Supreme Court.
If you will re-elect me as your
Disfcrirvh .Tnrlfrp T nlprltro vnn that
I shall continue to give fair'been instrumental in retaining;
careful and unbiased conseder-
ation to all matters coming be-
fore my court.
I am gratefully yours

able night'3 sleep to take off the
fish have been unable to locate
their lines since staking them;
out on Donohue Creek one night j
last week. I

cil at an emergency session;
Thursday night unanimouly vot-
ed to purchas 4.17 acrees of lantL
on which the camp is now Joca
ted. All efforts to renew tha.
lease on the land had failed when
the council decided on the action:
it was brought out at the meet-
ing. A new record land sale fjac
this section was also set "whea
the council accepted the onlj
offer available of $2500 for th
plot. The price per acre figures
a fraction of a cent over $599.52
The deal was completed Wed-
nesday when the owner Ned.
Bartlett signed the papers ant
'accepted the money. The prot
osition was financed by tae'
First National Bank of Bartlefcfc
at a low rate of interest and;
will be paid by the City out at
tax funds. It was estimated by-
the council Thursday that ai
small increase in the tax rate
would be necessary in order tor
meet the notes as they come;
due.
The Camp is located on land
part of which already belonged
to the City the land purchaseC
this week and 2.63 acres of land
owned by Louie Bartlett.
(When the Camp was establish
ed in Bartlett in 1935 the Iandu
was leased for a period of five.
years from 'Mrs. John Bartletfc.
now deceased. With the renew
al of the lease during June on
the land now owned by iLoufe
Bartlett and the purchase of;
the part owned by Ned Bartlett
the Camp site is now clear foe
another five year period ami
