without
occupy-
)obs well. \X e saiJMhat about the city election in Gold-
thwaitcVlast ..Spring, but onlv a handful of voters
bothered to express their thanks at the ballot box to
Mayor Ley Long-and to the members of the City
Council. \\ e said at the time and we continue to think
that the Goldthwaite city election last Spring repre-
sented a sorry lack of appreciation of men who give
.of themselves and their time in the public interest.
As for next 1 uesday, be it remerphered that the
candidates will not be elected until after the votes
- have been counted. They were merely nominated in
the July Primary or in the August Runoff.
State-wide, there are Republican opponents - run-
ning against Governor Allan Shivers and against Ben
Ramsey, the Democratic candidate for Lieutenant
Governor. W e are for Governor Shivers and Mr.
Ramsey and we think there is r\o doubt that they
.will win, as will the other candidates for State office
on the Democratic ticket. However, we are for such
men as Governor Shivers and Ben Ramsey on their
NKierits, and not because they are Democrats.
In Mills County, the candidates on the ballot next
Tuesday will have no opposition. That probably ac-
counts for the prediction that in Mills County there
will be little public interest in the election. We hope
that the predictions will turn out to be all wrong and
that there will be a heavy vote in Mills County next
Tuesday—in appreciation of jobs well done.
As a matter of duty, we go in and out of the Mills
County Court House several times a day, every work-
__ing day of the week. We have watched our public
servants at their work and we believe that such per-
sons as County Judge Lewis B. Porter, County Clerk
Earl Summy; Precinct Commissioners Jess Tullos,
Fred V, Wall. K B Henry and J. Frank Davis,
County Treasurer Bertl^i W'eathers, County Attor-
ney A M Pribhle, Justice of the Peace E. A. Oben-
liaus and County Surveyor J. C. Long, are conscien-
tious public servants who deserve Votes of confidence
at election time as well as at nomination time. From
all that we have been able to learn, Arthur E. Gro-
matzky is a fine representative of the 104th District
in the Legislature at Austin, and from first-hand ex-
perience we know that Congressman O. C. Fisher,
State Senator Dorsey B. Hardeman and District At-
torney James K. Evetts serve all of us well.
Sheriff Wiley L. Mahan, who is one of the finest
public officials ever to be encountered by us in a long
career of dealing with such officials, is not- up for
election, but C. F. “Stub” Stubblefield, who was nom-
inated after a close Primary and Runoff, -will be
standing next Tuesday for actual election for the first
tithe. We think that “Stub” Stubblefield should go in-
to office next January with a whacking big general
election vote behind nim.
Finally, whenever Americans show themselves
pathetic about the free, secret ballot that they enjoy,
the enemies of freedom make capital of that apathy.
TlHs it no time for apathy on th« part of any citizen
who cherishes his or her freedom.
A vote of 2,000 or better In Mills County next
Tmeeday will show tirtt we at* not apathetic.
