For those weary of reading and
listening about the destructive forces
at work in Europe, the political
campaigns in our so-far peaceful
United States come as a welcome
respite. All last week the Democratic
Convention headlines were placed
above and in bolder type than the
events in Europe in our American
“Dailies”. This week all good citi-
zens of Texas are weighing the past
records and future promises of many
aspiring candidates. It is a healthy
sign when an intelligent citizen turns
his mind to the putting or keeping
of his own house in order.
The success of our American
Democracy is being questioned today
by many both at home and abroad
Those who are inclined to emphasize
the weaknesses of our system (and wc
know there are weaknesses) point
particularly to its slowness of oper-
ation and the financial waste involved
Those who place a higher value on
freedom and personal initiative than
on dollars and cents although admitt-
ing certain weaknesses point with
pride to the many accomplishments
of our beloved Democracy. However,
it is only intelligent when recogniz-
ing weaknesses whether they be of
character or in government to try to
do something to correct them. It is
such a mental attitude that should
besir every voter in Texas to attend
his Primary elecioh, next Saturday,
Jttly 27 and to use his best judg-
ment in putting those in office who
are best fitted to govern.
Some regard the right to vote as
a privilege, others as a duty. Our
laws recognize voting as a privilege
for practically every state in the
Union keeps their unfit from the
polls. This being true should not
those of us so PRIVILEGED recog-
nize voting as a DUTY? Should we
complacently stay at home, let the
MINORITY nominate or elect our
officials and then brag before other
people that we in the United States
believe in the rule of the MAJOR-
ITY? Dare we then complain when
Monday Contract Club
Monday afternoon Mrs. Homer
Davis had as her guests the Monday
Contract Club. Guests were Mrs.
Boyd Guilford, Mrs. Ralph de la
Garza, Mrs. Elgin Shelton and Miss
Elizabeth Taylor. Club prize was
given to Mrs. de la Garza.
Grand Slam Club
5c extra we can spit in his face.
I’ll chew “Star-navy” that day.
Some people up here are a little
excited about the war, too. They
read the Republican newspapers
Some of them would have you believe
that Roosevelt has Hitler in his vest
pocket and is going to turn him
loose with a “Tommy” gun on the
guys that don’t vote for him. I am
a Democrat so I don’t worry.
All kidding aside, darling, we
don't have anything to worry about.
For IF the Nazis win the war they
will be to weak that it will take them
years to prepare the tremendous of-
fensive necessary to make a move
against th U. S. In the meantime we
are going to build up the largest and
finest air force in the world and
further strengthen our navy that is
already finest in the world. Our
army within two years will be the
best equipped in the world and will
be large enough to repel ANY in-
vading force. America is so much
stronger in money, men, materials
and manufacturing that no COM-
BINED FORCE could successfully
invade us once our forces are or-
ganized and coordinated. Roosevelt j
is now capably mustering all of our
resources into the greatest military!
machine the world has ever seen. I
Hurrah for Roosevelt and may God
bless him in all his efforts.
Much love,
G. P.

their is governmental waste or mss-
government?
Let us see what knowledge one
should have in order to ca«t his vote
intelligently in next Saturday’s
Primary. First do we know the
major duties of the various offices to
be filled? Secondly, have we studied
the qualifications of those who desire
our support in reference to the
abilities needed for the office? Or do
we intend to allow personal friend-
ship or personal prejudice be the
deciding factor?
If one has honestly weighed these
two considerations he will not vote
blindly. Neither will he be persuaded
by friendship, prejudice or sympathy
Nor will he be afraid to cast his
vote for fear he will make a mistake.
Most people have experienced voting
for candidates and later regretting
their lack of foresight. Nevertheless
a bird cannot fly without first trying
his wings.

Thompson honored her son O. A. Jr.

Walker, Barbara Ann Thompson,

Schroeder Jr., Pete Hunter, Billy
Gene Herschap, Roland Timberlake
Louis Franklin Jr., Jimmie Chapman
and O. A. Thompson.
