For the last several years the
local post of the American Legion
has had charge of the Fourth of
July celebration. This year the
affair was a great success, both
as to a varied and interesting
program and as to the large at-
tendance.
The day was opened with the
customary salutes after which
the band played a choral. Later
in the morning the Fredericks-
burg Concert Band rendered a
program at the court house pavil-
ion. This band concert was fol-
lowed by political addresses.
Adjutant R. W. Klingelhoefer
read the Declaration of Indepen-
dence. The two candidates for
State Senator, Walter C. Wood-
ward of Coleman and J. A.
Thomas of San Angelo, were in-
troduced by H. H. Sagebiel. Each
of the two declared against the
Kian, each stated that taxes
shou'd be reduced wherever pos-
sible and not injure the machin-
ery of government, and each de-
clared that a number of laws
should be revised to make them
clearer. From the attitude of
either candidate it was plain that ;
each one has the highest respect'
for the other. The audience con-;
eluded that if either is elected,!
they can rest assured that a ■
gentleman represents us at Aus-, good chorus singing.
