Don’t let anybody tell you that, if I’m elected this
year, I cannot be reelected next year. This story, and
other rumors, are being circulated by agents of the
Fair Dealers because they are scared to death that
an anti-Fair-Deal congressman will go to Washington
who will really fight their corrupt machine.
Then, a typical professional political switch took
place. The moment this man Rogers arrived in Wash-
ington he reported to Sam Rayburn; he has worked
for the Fair Dealers ever since, and has voted with
them 90 per cent of the time.
This confidence trick took place in the 18th Con-
gressional District only a year ago. It must not happen
here. It must not happen to you.

There is only one way to register your protest,
and that it to vote for the only anti-Fair Deal candi-
date. the only anti-administration candidate. Let us all
tell Harry Truman, “This is the end of the line.’’

I just cannot sit by any longer and watch our
country being destroyed economically from within,
and being outfoxed from without. This is the eleventh

In May, 1950, another special election was held.
Ben Guill of Pampa was elected Republican congress-
man for the 18th District. Ben was able to serve only
five months in the House before he had to return home
and start campaigning all over again in order to be
reelected. In the meantime, his “Democratic” oppon-
ent, Walter Rogers, for five solid months, campaigned
against Ben on a strictly anti-administration platform.

This time, I will be able to serve you in the House
for one full year. During that time, I will have built
up a congressional record that you and your family
can be proud of. When I return next year, I will be
able to stand on that record with pride, and I know
that then, as now, you won’t have a single doubt in
your mind to reelect a congressman who has kept his
promises and who lias fought for your principles, for
your freedom, and for your individual rights.
Yes, while cajnpaigning, Walter Rogers played the
role of a strictly anti-administration candidate; he waS
as strongly opposed to the Fair Deal as Ben was. He
too, was against compromises, corruption, inflation,
and higher taxes. For this reason only, the supposedly
conseravtive, anti-administration “Democratic” can-
didate, Walter Rogers, beat Ben Guill in the general
election by 2,000 votes.

man to Washington whose boss will be Sam Rayburn?
How can you show the Fair Dealers that you are
disgusted with corruption, reckless spending, higher
taxes, and the big steal of our tidelands, if you send
a congressman to Washington who is a member of the
Fair Deal party, and whose every wish will be denied
if he doesn’t play ball with Bill Boylt and his Pender-

Christian Science
Sunday Services
Man is as indispensable to God
as God is to man, declares the
Christian Science Lesson-Sermon
titled “Man” to be read in all
Churches of Christ Scientist, on
Sunday, Sept. 9. “Ye are my wit-
nesses, saith the Lord, and my
servant whom I have chosen; that
ye may know and believe me, and
understand that I am he: before
me there was no God formed, nei-
ther shall there be after me”’ Is-
aiah 43: 10). Mary Baker Eddy
brings out the point in these
words from the Christian Science
text book, “Science and Health
with Key to the Scriptures,” which
will be included in the Lesson-
Sermon: “God, without the image
and likeness of Himself, would be
a nonentity, or Mind unexpressed.
He would be without a witness or
proof of His own nature. Spiritual
man is the image or idea of God,
an idea which cannot be lost nor
separated from its divine Princi-
ple.” f - '
