WE, THE BUSINESS FIRMS OF CANTON. are firmly convinced of these
facts. We firmly believe that an economy based on the dairy industry is a
stable economy. We rejoice to see the increase in the number of dairy cows
noticeable on the farms surrounding Canton. We believe the farmer could
make no wiser choice than to include dairying in his plans for the future ...
and to begin now to increase the number of dairy cows he is keeping. There-
fore, we pay homage to the dairy cow through the Free State Dairy Show
... not as a one-day affair, but as a symbol of a vital year 'round activity.
The First National Bank of Canton is happy to welcome visitors to
the annual Free State Dairy Show in Canton on Monday, June 16. Our
heartiest congratulations are extended to the Van Zandt Dairy Associa-
tion and to the dairymen of this county for the advancement made in the
dairy industry during the past few years. We encourage more farmers to
enter this fine field... and grow with the First National Bank and this
East Texas area.

BUT, THIS ALONE, DOES NOT FITLY EXPRESS the importance of
dairying and the dairy cow to the economic wellbeing of Canton and Van
Zandt County. These factors rapidly are assuming greater and greater im-
portance, as they provide the farmers with a regular and dependable source
of steady, oft’-repeated, income. They are not only worthy of note on Dairy
Show Day alone, but throughout the entire year, as well.

raising and solid improvement.
Our military should be kept
strong and I believe aid should
be given to veterans.
In selecting a man to represent
you in Congress, I believe that
you should have q man with prov-
en ability and with enough fight
and determination to oppose meas-
ures which are not for the good of
our country and, by the same
token, to foster measures which
will improve it.
I will appreciate hearing from
any of the voters in the Third
Texas District by mail or tele-
phone. I can be reached at my
office in Carthage.
Respectfully,

now I have been actively engag-
ed in the practice of law in Car-
thage.
About 12 years ago I purchas-
ed a small foundation he rd of
Hereford cattle as a hobby and
even though cattle and farming
are close to my heart and is in
some degree still a hobby, this
ventun* has grwn to the point
where it is now one of the lead-
ing herds of cattle in East Texas.
I have been interested not only
in improving our soil but in bet-
terIng and advancing our live-
stock. This will enable the farm-
er, I believe, to earn a better Jiv-
ing from the soil and will pro-
duce a far better economy and
standard of living among our
rural people than they had when
I was a child and the principal
crop was cotton.
I have enjoyed a successful law
practice in Carthage and have
handled a large number of cases
in both the trial and appellate
courts of Texas. I have also en-
gaged actively in farming, real
estate and in oil and gas opera-
tions in the Carthage gas field. I
feel that my business background
and training together with the
“seasoning” I have had as a prac-
ticing attorney qualifies me to
become a member of Congress.
I am a member of the Meth-
odist Church, the Panola County
Bar Association, the State Bar
Association and am the immediate
past president of the Kiwanis
Club of Carthage.
In setting down these qualifica-
tions, I do so with humility. I
feel that I am actually entitled to
but little credit but am fortunate
in being born in a land of oppor-
tunity which gives each of us a
chance to elevate himself from
humble circumstances to a prom-
inent place in our state and na-
tion.
I am married to the former
Dixie Simpson of Taylorville, Ill.
We are the parents of three
daughters, Melinda, Jennifer and
Deborah.
As to my platform, I am es-
sentially anti-Truman Fair Deal
and if I am elected to congress,
I shall do all in my power to bring
about the following things:
1. Restore Texas tidelands own-
ership to Texas.
2. Prohibit the increase of taxes.
3. Reduce taxes when we have
substantially reduced our gigan-
tic national debt.
4. Retain the 27’4 per cent oil
depletion allowance on income
from oil and gas.
5. Rid our government of those
state department employes who
would destroy our form of gov-
ernment.
6. Ban the practice of giving
mink coats, deep freezes and the
like as inducements for favors.
While I am not in favor of

FRED WHITAKER
Fred Whitaker of Carthage, a
candidate for Congress from the
Third Texas district, has author-
ized The Herald to make the
follow .i g announcement in be-
half of his candidacy:
TO THE VOTERS
OF THE THIRD
CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT:
My name is Fred Whitaker. I
was born and reared on a small
farm two miles north of Car-
thage, where I lived until I was
graduated from Carthage High
School in 1927. I am 42 years old.
I was a member of a large
family with a small income, and
tiecause of that it was necessary
for me to help my family gather
crops in the fall before entering
school. In the spring I had to
leave school early to break the
lard and help prepare it for
spring planting. It therefore was
not until my last year in high
school that I was able to com-
plete a full year of schooling and
then I did so by working more
than 60 hours per week in a fill-
ing station in Carthage.
In the fall of 1928 I ertered
Texas Christian University at Fort
Worth and studied there four
years. Later I received a degree
in law from Cumberland Law
School in Lebanon, Tennessee,
and was licensed to practice law
on December 27, 1933.
During the five years I attend-
ed college I paid my own way by
waiting on table's, working at oth-
er campus jobs, and delivered
newspapers for 24 months. Every
dollar I spent in getting an edu-
cation I earned myself while at-
tending school.
In 1934 I was elected county
attorney in Panola county and
served one term. On completing
it I practiced law in Fort Worth
