But. wa fear this ridiculous prat-
tic* to not all swaggering parade.
There is often evil Intent hi tt Both
"eowboy" and officer often carry
guns to brow-beat and over-awe
humble clUaras. It Is s quiet sped—
of a reign of terror. They go not
hesitate to threaten. They order
unlnfluential people about aa though
they were peons. Thay keep them
away from the polls or frighten
them into voting as they are told.
This gun-tottng thing la a part of
a corrupt system of government. AO
a necessary adjunct to tt to tha out-
rageous Texas law which leaves the
ballot number on a monk ballot to
permit lawlem politicians to open
the ballot boxes Illegally and ascer-
tain how a cl risen voted . Then he
la punished. Presently be loarne to
vote as he Is told. Honest slectlons
will never prevail in Texas until tha
number to torn off the ballot by the
voter before ho deposits it In the
ballot box.

serious frown of public opinion in

It to our opinion that if there
' were a general disarming of man
In Willacy County and a firm sheriff
there to make the gun-toters under-

know who killed the Blantons within

uImagine making 20 miles per gal-

down dale. That’s what my Chrysler
Royal gives me. I have to make de-
liveries of batteries all over southern-
western Ohio. Two or three times a
week I put a thousand to 1200 pounds
of these batteries in the back end of
my coupe and the performance and
economy I get is just astounding.
“And then when my work is done
I have a fine-looking car for my
pleasure driving. I like the chair-high
seats with which the Royal is pro-
vided. They give you a comfortable
restful ride and also permit you
to have a good view of the
road ahead.” A
