JUDGE MURRAY
AND KIS RACE
FOR RE-ELECTION
Statement of Three Sisters of Henry
and Jess English Concerning the
Race for County Judge.
To the Democrats of Hopkins County:
In view of the fact that our broth-
er, Henry English, who now lives in
Dallas, has come into Hopkins coun-
ty and worked against his sister’s
husband, Judge J. J. (Jess) Murray,'
iii his race for re-election to the of
fice of County Judge, and assisted in
appointed. “Bob,” be replied, “Deep
down in my heart, I do n^t believe
he is.” Then Connerly sprang his
trump card. He opened his law
book, and read slowly from a Su-
preme court opinion to the effect
that if a judge held a reasonable
doubt as to the guilt of an accused,
he should not sustain the verdict.
The young lawyer got his new trial,
and the drinks.
The story was prompted by a mo-
tion filed in Connerly’s court here
asking a rehearing on the sole
grounds that the verdict was not sup-
ported by the law. It led to an-
other story, incidental to which is the
fact that Bob Connerly and his back-
handed game of golf was for *28 con-
encouraging his opponent, Mr. Bui- secutive years city champion of Aus-
Misses Juanita and Jane Baird,
who have been guests of Miss Maude
Grainger, have returned to their

- Mrs. Charles Salter and Son C. P.
Jr. have returned to their home in
Dallas after a visit here With heri par-
ents. Mr. and' MrS. Oliver Mann. Mrs.
Thelma Jennings returned home with'
them for a' visit-
lock, to announce on the last day,
June 14th, we feel'that the people of
Hopkins county should understand
the reasons why he wants Judge Mur-
ray defeated. It is huiriiliating- to us
to have to make this explanation,
but the truth and common justice
require it.
When our father, O. B. English,
died, he left a small estate consist-
ing of lands near Brashear. Our
brother, Henry, claimed that father
owed him. We were unable to under-
stand why our father should owe
Henry, and Vera requested him to
make a statement of how the debt
arose and what it consisted -of.
Henry refused to do it. Later he
filed an application in the County
Court of Hopkins county to be ap-
pointed Administrator of the English
Estate. This application was answer-
ed and contested by Mrs.; Black and
on a trial before Judge Flewharty,
who had been appointed Specihl
County Judge to try the case, Mrs.
Black won the appointment. Then
Henry immediately appealed the case
to the District Court. Pending the
appeal, Henry acquired the interest
of all the other children, except the
three who sign this statement. He
then abandoned his claim against the
estate and brought suit in the Dis-
trict Court of Hopkins county to par-
tition the land. When this case and
the appeal from the County Court
were reached for trial, agreed judg-
ments were entered by Judge Sellers
under which Mrs. Black’s appoint-
ment as Administratix was confirm-
ed and the land ordered sold.
J. C. McDonald was appointed
receiver and directed to sell the land.
He sold it at public sale to the high-
est bidder. Henry arid Jess English
were both present at the sale and
Heriry made a nuniber of bids but we
bid more than he did'and the land was
sold to us. Henry received six-ninths
of the money. He has been mad
at us Cver since, and is now trying,
with the aid of our brother, Jess
English, to defeat Judge Murray,
merely for spite. Judge Murray took
no part in the controversy between
ourselves and Henry and is in no way
responsible for the course we took.
Judge Murray has always proven to
he a ti'ue friend of Henry’s and of
all our family. Juclgef Murray is the
husband of their oWn sister, has
made a fdithful and competent offi-
cer, is running only' for his second
term,' and wC cannot ■ understand why
our brothers should ^eek to defeat
him. We appeal to the fair-minded
Democrats of Hopkins' county to see
that they do not speeded.
LOT A ENGLISH MURRAY,
VERA ENGLISH,
(dw) REBECCA ENGLISH BLACK.
Give your motor
m chance to
do its
best
tin and four years state champion.
And it. isn’t so much a story as a
rCminescence.
When that eminently good Repub-
lican, William Howard Taft, visited
Texas he wanted to play golf down
near Corpus Cbristi. So the commit-
tee on arrangements decided that
eminently good Democrat and golfer,
Bob Connerly, was the logical op-
ponent. The match was made, and
the pair made ready to tee off
President Taft' held his hands be-
hind him and asked Connerly to guess
which hand.
“Why Mr. President,” Bob answer-
ed, “You shoot first, because it
wouldn’t be right for me to precede
a president.” But the genial Taft
insisted and Connerly won, Sending
his ball about 250 yards down the
fairway, with a small slice.
“That was a good drive if it hadn’t
been sliced.” He remarked. The
president considered it. “Mr. Con-
nerly,” he observed, “I’ll take the
drive and the slice both.”
' - With Charles P. Taft and the chair-
man of the Republican state execu-
tive committee caddying, the first
nine holes was pleasant. At the end
of the first nine the president asked
Connerly if he were too “tired” to
play another round. The Texas
champion replied that golf was like
walking with his best girl—-he-never
got tired.
As the president of the United
States and the chief clerk of the sixth
civil appeals"court stood among the
wind-blown salt pines of south Texas,
Taft confessed that for the first
time in months he felt fvee from
fear, Connerly said. He said the
president told him how he lived in
canstant fear of his life.
Then Connerly told him how easy
it • would be for a man to stand a
mile and a half away with a high’
powered rifle and shoot him.
No you, couldn’t, Mr. Connerly,”
the president answered. “Secret
service men are hiding in those pines,
watching us right now.”
Connerly probably o#uld have made
the shot, for he was nine times
champion of the state at tjnrget shoot-
ing, and clay pigeon snipers still tell
of the meet at Shreveport when Bob
broke 125 out of 125.
Connerly had dinner with the presi-
dent, and reealls that Taft at once
started critictising the food as pre-
pared under the direction of Mrs.
Charles P. Taft, telling how he would
have prepared it.
“Mr. President,” Mrs. Taft ans-
wered him, “we are all waiting
use MAGNOLIA
SOCQNY
MOTOR OIL
PARAFFINE BASE
STATIONS AND DEALERS THROUGHOUT THE SOUTHWEST
breathlessly for you to publish your
book on culinary practices.”
But, Connerly forgot to tell how
the golf game came out.
“I beat him six up. I’ve never let
a Republican beat me yet.
Bob doesn’t play so much as he
once did. One of his eyes has failed
under the strain of something like
three score years and no longer could
he shoot a 33 with a putter. Still,
he played a game with Judge Critz
of the Civil court the other day.
“And I could beat him with one leg-
end one arm.”
His backhand stroke — left hand
forward—has earned him fifteen lov-
ing cups and innumerable medals. He
stuck with it despite the advice of a
golf professional. For, he explained,
it is his natural stroke—like the
stroke at law was a “natural.”
LIGHT, POWER
AND POLITICS
The best argument against poli-
tical meddling with the electric indus-
try is that an adequate supply of
low-priced power is essential to
American progress.
Anything that retards the logical
development of the electric industry
likewise retards- the logical develop-
ment of our civilization. Anything
that interferes with the effort of
private initiative to provide our
homes, farms and industries^ with
better electric service interfered
the same time with social and busi-
ness progress.
Power is not a legitimate politica
issue any more than is food or cloth-
ing. It is the duty of the various
state governments to regulate the.
electric industry in the public inter-
est. And that is all.
It is claimed that regulation in
many instances is inadequate. If
that is true the problem can be solv-
ed. The electric industry has no de-
sire to evade its public obligation. On
the contrary, it has expressed itself
as anxious to co-operate in any sound
move to improve public control. All
that has happened is that in certain
sect-.--ns of the country the industry
has made such remarkable progress
in recent years that regulatory faci-
lities have not kept up. Such a. sit-
uation can be remedied by construc-
tive action, not by political exhor-
tions.
No industry has done more for the
United States than the electric. None
is more vital to the maintenance- of
good wages and high living standards
for American workers. It is to be
hoped the public will sift the wheat
from chaff in the schemes that are
proposed to control it in the name of
“regulation.” _

J., or local druggist,
Austin, Texas, Aug. 14.—This is
a story for lawyers and golfers; rath-
er, it is two stories, one for lawyers
one for'golfers.
Both are by and about “Bob” Con-
nerly, veteran chief clerk of the court
of civil appeals here.
Bob shoots a “Backhanded” game
of golf, and a good one, too. Whieh
is introduction sufficient for his
story of how, as a young lawyer ap-
pointed by court, he played a “back-
handed” hunch in defense of a negro
found guilty at assault to murder and
sentenced to 21 years imprisonment.
Young Bob prepared a motion for
new trial, and outside of legal ver-
briage, that motion contained one
sentence: “the verdict is not
poTte'd by evidence.”
His fellow attorneys, *lder
more experienced, scoffed at
simple motion. “Why,” they said,
you might as well burn that motion.”
“Will you bet me a drink,” asked
Bob, “that I don’t get a new trial?”
The bet was made—he doesn’t tell
the nature of the drink—rind young
Connerly went to court with a single
law hook under his arm.
“Judge,” he addressed the eorirt,
“I just want to talk on one phase of
this case. Do you believe this old
darkie is guilty of assault to mur-
der?”
That was over in Arkansas, by the
way. The judge looked over his
spectacles at the young man he had
