MAN
Every man should have an op-

at honest work. If. through no
fault of his own, he is unable to
work then society should protect
him from suffering and want," Ed

stand on unemployment and labor.
He favored old-age assistance and

I up and say that he is competent
to remain in the commission board
when the banks are in charge.
Had Bank Experience
Now if you want a banker to
run the commission, if you want
a business man but not a poli-
tician, put Frank Morris in the
railroad commissioner's chair. He
was brought up in a bank; his
. father owned a private bank when
he was a baby and founded the
; first National Bank of East Texas;
he died four years ago, past 70
years of age and still active chair-
man of the bank. Frank Morris
Knows banking from A to Z.
Then there is forming in • the
dust storm section of the west and
incidentally the home of E. O.
Thompson, the greatest carbon
black and gas lobby that has ever
been put together for the purpose
। of a continuation of the'.destruc-
tion and blowing into the air of a
billion, 385 million cu. ft. of gas
I every’ day. It is the intention of
Col. Thompson, if reelected, to
continue this until this natural re-
, source has been Completely ex-
hausted for the use and benefit of
a very few unscrupulous poli-
ticians and money-chargers. There
is being blown into the air in Mr.
Thompson's home territory the
above amount of gas every day.
[ We charge that every major oil
. company, sulphur interest are
solidly behind Ernest Thompson
for the purpose of delivering all
of the natural resources to this
group of Wall Street bankers and
oil men who have never contrib-
uted a dollar to a public institu-
tion in this state but every one of
them had their existence in Texas
and made their fortunes here and
have now moved out of the state
and carried these natural resource
fortunes with them.
Highway Matters
I also charge that Ernest
Thompson has entered into an
agreement to deliver the highways
into the hands of the monopolistic
railroads. He would deliver high-
ways which have been bought and
paid foe by every man and woman
who pays taxes in Texas. Mr.
Thompson told you the other night
that he had freed the highways
of the boot-leg tsucks. He meant
by that- that he had,' and it would
be his continued policy, taken the
little man, independent trucker,
who strives for a bare existence
for his family, off the highways
and turned It over to monied in-
terests . Mr. Thompson says he
has made the highways safe for
travel. ; He meant he has made
the highways safe for the rail-
roads, big trucks, and buses. It is
for the downtrodden man that I
am pleading, the fellow who wants
a fighting chance in the world, the
man that is being crushed under
foot, by Wall Street.- Since Mr.
Thompson has been on the rail-
road commission, he told you in
his radio talk the other night, he
has increased the school funds and
has reduced gas rates in scores
of towns. I tell you that the rail-
road commission has no control
over lit titles in towns of above 2,-
000 population. Mr. Thompson
told you also that he had stopped
hot oil traffic in East Texas. I tell
you that hot oil is running as free-
ly as it ever ran. Apr. Thompson
would cut the independent oil man
to where he would have to sell
out or give away hid oil holdings;
and the East Texas field is a field,
by the way. that was discovered
and brought in by an independent
operator, and at its opening 75
per cent ‘of the holders were inde-
pendent men. Today these same
men only own 25 per cent of the
holdings. The tables have been re-
versed with the major companies

fact is. I am not trying to ride into
