DEWEY AND TRUEY WILLARD
Just What Was Hurt
Pfedgtii Chkagol
Many people ha**e beard can-
didate Yarborough say repeated-
ly that Governor Shivers “raised
his right hand and took a solemn
oath” at the 1052 Democratic Na-
tional Convention in Chicago to
support the nominee* of that con-
vention—and that Shivers later
'‘violated” his oath.
HERE ARE THE FACTS:
I attended that convention as
one of the two delegates from
the Sixth Congressional District
of Texas. Judge A. P. Mays, of
Corsicana was the other district
delegate Shivers was the chair-
man of the Texas delegation.
Neither I nor Judge Mays nor
Governor Shivers took ajiy “eath”
to do anything, nor did any dele-
gate from any state. Shivers
DID NOT “violate” any “oath”
or “pledge.”
The Official Proceedings of
that Convention are printed. I
have a copy and would be glad
to show it to anyone interested in
knowing the truth. On page 55 of
these proceedings is shown the
only “pledge” taken by any dele-
gate It was part of a resolution
adopted by the Convention (be-
fore nominations had been made)
and it reads:
“No delegate shall be seated
unless he shall give assurance
to the Credentials Committee
that he will exert every hon-
orable means available to him
in any official capacity he may
have to provide that the nom-
inees of this convention for
President and Vice-President,
through their names or those
of electors pledged to them,
apear on the ballot under the
heading, name or designation
of the Democratic party.”
During the discussion of this
“pledge” (above quoted) on page
68 of the record, Governor Shiv-
ers said:
“We (meaning the Texas
delegation) interpret the orig-
inal resolution as far as Texas
is concerned, to require noth-
ing more that our state law
requires, that is. that those in
Texas who desire to vote for
the nominees of this eonvea- *
tion shall have an opportunity
to do so, regardless of the
speeches of interpretation by
others who might ;ry to read
something else into it."
The Texas State Democratic
Convention, meeting in Amarillo
long after the Chicago national
convention met, voted to carry
out the “pledge” made by Shiv-
ers and directed that the names
of Stevenson and Sparkman be
THE GOVERNOR'S RACE
WHAT ME THE ISSUES!
They Are Clear Cut
IT’S YARBOROUGH — A DEMOCRAT
VS.
SHIVERS — A REPUBLICAN

"C.I.O.", "P.A.C." and stirring up race hatred.
But the real issues are these. Do not be
deceived:
Laok,Mommy, VmdoiAg it fnyself!
HOW'S YOUR CHILD’S INDEPENDENT SPIRIT? Do yoa en-
courage him to take on more responsibility? A pleasant and easy
chore for him is to prepare his own school lunchbox, with just a
few suggestions from you.
Here's a sample menu: Maine sardine and sliced egg sandwiches,
made with cracked wheat bread, carrot sticks and leaf lettuce,
wrapped separately in waxed paper, fruit, cookies and milk. When
his luncheon box carries sardines from Maine you can be sure that
he’s getting his full quota of high protein, calcium, Iron and many
essential vitamins. (ANS)
placed on the ballot as the nom-
inees of the Democratic party.
Then the State Convention voted
to blast Stevenson for his stand
on tidelands and to ask all Texas
Democrats to vote for Eisenhow-
er.
Shivers does not make “pledg-
es” nor promises that he does not
keep the faith!

VACATION IS OVER AND NOW IT'S BACK TO
FARRAR LUMBER CO.
. «' ■. J
TAXES.—The REPUBLICANS have just^passed a tax reduction law which main-
ly benefits the Moneyed boys who get income from dividends. The Democrats
wanted a law which would give everyone some relief.
FARM PRICE SUPPORTS—The Democrats had good substantial supports at very
little cost. The Republicans are trying every conceivable means to reduce
support prices. If their 75% flexible program is passed, farmers will go
bankrupt.
INTEREST RATES—The Democrats maintained low interest rates for G. I. loans
as well as Farm Commodity (C. C. C.) loans. The Republicans have raised
these interest rates. The G. I. Home purchaser pays about $1,000.00 more in-
terest on his G. 1. loan during the life of the loan than he did at the Demo-
cratic rate. This money goes directly to the coffers of the big insurance com-
panies and bypasses the local merchants.
RURAL ELECTRIFICATION—The Democrats lighted up riiral America. The
Republicans have cut appropriations for R. E. A. and are doing all they can to
favor the powerful utility monopolies at the expense of R. E. A.
FREE ENTERPRISE—The Republicans are always yelling "Free Enterprise”. The
same boys enjoy the greatest possible protection from government The Oil
boys (mostly Republicans) have government production control in order to
keep prices high. The Coca-Cola manufacturers have an absolute monopoly
on making Cokes thru government franchises. The Steel industry, the car
makers, the farm implement and other manufacturers control production to
keep prices up, but when the farmers attempt such methods, it’s "Socialism”
according to the Shivercrats.
IF YOU WANT TO HELP EVERYONE HAVE A BETTER LIVING,
VOTE FOR YARBOROUGH—A DEMOCRAT.
A CHANGE WILL DO US ALL GOOD.
CPoL Adv J
National new-car registration figures* for the first six months
of i954 prove that Ford leads the industry in sales! In fact, ever
since car production has been free of restrictions, more and more
new-car buyers have been swinging over to Ford. That’s because
Ford offers more things for more people than any other car. In
today’s Ford, for example, you get the matchless benefits of owning
the only car in the low-price field with a V-8 engine (the new
Ford Y-block V-8) . . . the only car in Ford’s field with the smooth
ride of Ball-Joint Front Suspension . . . the only car in Ford’s field
with truly modem styling . . . the only car in Ford’s field with
such high resale value.
