‘Hardin Worthy Opponent
To Garner’
(Political Advertising.)
(From George West Enterprise.)
In Sid Hardin of Mission Texas.
Hon. John N .Garner has an opponent
for re-nomination in the democratic
primaries who is worthy of his steel.
It has been the privilege of the
writer to know Hardin intimately
and to be associated with him in
such a way as to permit becoming
acquainted with his ability and char-
acter. Of strong intellectual ability
a clear thinker magnetic speaker
young and vigorous Mr. Harin has
pronounced views and will fearlessly
expound them on the platform. He
is a strong believer in state's rights
and it is upon this plank' he will
laigely seek to win the favor of the
voters.
Mr. Hardin has been at the head of
the Mission public chools for ten
years and has a splendid record a3
a school man. He has attended sum-
mer schols at various institutions of
learning year after year and i«t well
equipped to hold the high place to
which he aspires.
Last summer Mr. Hardin was on
the lecture platform and delivered a
series of addresses through Indiana
Ohio and other states of that sec-
tion discussing the doctrine of
state’s right. So ably did* he ex-
pound the gospel which this country
is apparently losing sight of through
the encroachment of federal laws
that he attracted the attention of
many who have made a study of our
government and he has been besieged
to make the race for congress for
many months. He has finally con-
sented to do so. and now that his
hat is in the rin? Mr. Hardin pro-
poses to carry the fight to the peo-
ple in the interest of the principals
of government which he upholds. He
is in the race to win and unquestion-
ably Mr. Garner despite his place
of national prominence is in ’ for
the hardest race to hold his place
in the national halls of congress
that he hns ever experienced.
Mr. Hardin has just completed a
term as district governor of this Ro-
tary district and succeeded in plac-
ing his district at the head of the
list in many ways through a ma-
jority of the months of the Rotary
year. He enjoyed the respect aiwl
confidence of the men with whom
i he was associated and the chairman
of the program committee of Rotary
International speaking at San An-
tonio district convention proclaimed
him the equal of any district gov-
ernor who hail ever served Rotary
j He has a way of producing results
and leading men without causing dis-
sension which is given to few.
If sent to congress Sid Hatdin
will not remain in obscurity long.
His ability and determination to
forge ahead and surmount obstacles
which would block the way for oth-
ers will cairy him to a place of pro-
minence and he will be tireless in
working for the best interests of his
district yet not forgetting that it is
his duty to serve the nation as a
whole.
John Garner has been in congress
so long that there are hut one or
two men who outrank him in point
of years served. There is no ques-
tioning hi# high standing or his
ability to secure his full measure
at the pie counter. Rut the fif-
teenth district cannot hope to retain
John Garner in congress always and
the opportunity to place in his seat
a man of such ability character and
genuine worth may not present it-
self again. X
However Mr. Hardin is not seek-
ing the office on that basis. He is
opposed t« Mr. Garner's stand upon
the question of state's rights par-
ticularly. and will seek the nomina-
tion solely upon the question of
whether his \iews do not better
tract the ideals of the founders of
his government.

NEW ORIGANS. La.. May 24—The
cotton market opened easy today ow-

Sunday. As Liverpool continued
closed for the Whitsuntide holidays
there was nothing to offset weather
conditions.
First trades showed losses of nine
points and during the morning the
j market ruled quiet around the open-
ing figures. When the map was
posted showing indications of an un-
favorable change in the weather the
market became steady and prices ad-
vanced 3 points to 17.55 for July
and 17.09 for October.
The market continued to rule qui?t
all ntr>rning with old crop months
within the early range and the new
crop positions showing improvement.
October traded up to 17.10 in the sec-
ond hour on fears of a return of un-
settled weather but later eased off
to 17.05. December traded up to
17.11 and then reacted to 17.07.

Tells War Record
“Mr. Ferguson attacks my ‘‘war
record.”
“The government passed the selec-
tive service .law providing a way of
recruiting its soldiers. While Jim
was making speeches against the se-
lective service law I registered under
its provisions. I did not wait to be
called under the classification based
on my sworn questionnaire. I made
two unsuccessful attempts to enter
the army. 1 was then commissioned

cruit and train a company. Doubt
arose if this organization would be
called into active service. Without
waiting my turn to be called to serv-
ice under the law by which thous-
ands of patriotic Texas boys were in-
ducted I Asked induction into the
army. It was offered mo and I vol-
untarily accepted it. I resigned my
National Guard commission and en-
tered the army as a private. The

Much work remains to be done by

) housing committee reports they are
meeting with success in the getting
of rooms in which to house the vis-
iting firemen although many more
rooms must be secured. “At least
10.000 visitors art exported and it is
I going to require the cooperation of j
| every town in the Valley to house j
' and take care of this large number of I

committee. \
The attendance this year will be |
more than double that of any previ-

Say* Moody Should Quit
In his acceptance of "MaV chal-
lenge.* Moody explained: "I want
to say that the public offices of Tex*
jus are not to be wagered or bartered
away or otherwise disposed of than
is provided in the constitution and
in the popular will. But this cam*
1 paign is an issue between Ferguson-
j ism and the rights of the people. So
eager am I to rid Texas of every-
thing they stand for. that 1 accept
the challenge issued by Jim Fergu-
son in his wife’s name.” .
If Mrs. Ferguson winid the wager.
Davidson said in his statement she
will win double by keeping the of-
fice of governor and the right to
name an attorney general who would
I serve six months—“long enough to
dismiss some troublesome road suits.”
Davidson censored the aUu/ncy
' general for entering into a “bet with
Jim Feguson" after having proclaim-
i ed in his San Antonio address that
the issue was "Fergusonism aaginst
the rights of the people.” The only
' honorable course left to Moody Dav-
j idson asserted is to withdraw from
the gubernatorial race.
