of this, it was represented to

MR. HILL AND HIS ISSUES.
Governor W. P. Hobby drove the
saloons from Texas, put the Ameri-
can flag flying from every school
house in Texas; saved Texas’ great-
est educational institution and the
State from shame and disgrace. If
you stand for these things, you owe
him your support and vote. Stand
by the man who has stood by Texas.
The dance given Saturday eve-
ning by the Woodman Circle was
a great success. The music was
furnished by the Coast Artillery

City has known. After the dance

At the March investigation Fe gu-
son promised under oath to repay to
the State the tax money he had spent
for automobile supplies, etc., if the
courts held that it had been wrong- i
fully spent. (March Inv. Rec., p. 188;
Imp. Rec., p. ’98.)
In August, after the court had held
the money illegally spent, Ferguson
swore he did not feel under any obli-
gation to repay the money. (Imp.
Rec., p. 599.) The money was not re-
paid until after the house of repre-
sentatives had impeached the gov-
ernor. (Imp. Rec., p. 599.)
These are but a few of many in-
stances showing Ferguson’s’ unblush-
ing contradictions of himself under
oath, taken from the sworn record of
his trials.
$35,000 SAVED IN 35 YEARS
zAHE report was recently made public of a
EcXg feman who after 35 years of service
28=-£2 had sayed up close to $35,000.00. It
brings home forcibly the value and the
power of constant, persistent and determined
accumulation.

I Ferguson swore that his brother, Joe
I Lee Ferguson, loaned him $37,5000 to
| pay his tote at the Temple bank.

. Imp. Rec., p. 347.)
• In August, Ferguson admitted un-
| der oath that the same $37,500 with
I which he paid that note was currency
given him by his mythical friends in
i February, before he swore his broth-
er gave it to him. (Imp. Rec., p. 650.)
! In August, Ferguson also testified
that after the March investigation he
had told these same mythical friends
that he faced bankruptcy, due to the
investigation he had just been
through, and asked for the loan of
$156,500, which, he said, was then
made him. (Imp. Rec., p. 64.)
Ferguson admitted, after it had
been otherwise proven, that he had
received and paid out nearly $50,000
of this money prior to the March in-
vestigation. (Imp. Rec., 648.)
After testifying that he told his
friends he faced bankruptcy, Fergu-
son admitted, and the record shows,
that not a dollar he owed the Temple
bank was due until the following De-
,__cember, more than eight months in
the future. (March Iiiv.,p. 145; Imp.
Rec., 505.)

If elected, I pledge myself to work r

newspapers of the District. In this
regard Mr. Hill is finding a warm ri-
val in my other opponent, Judge Clay
Stone Briggs of Galveston. The
State of Texas now has both prohi-
bition. and woman suffrage and yet
there is nothing in the reco-d to show
that Mr. Hill and Judge Briggs had
the least thing to do with getting
either. Their attitude recalls to me

even conversed with them, save and
except Congressman, Gregg, I have
not been able to locate them, al-
though I have made persistent and
diligent inquires. I rather suspect
that Mr. Hill’s real mission to Wash-
ington was to persuade Congressman
Gregg to “adopt” him as his
(Gregg's) successor, and subsequent
events seem to bear me out in this
conclusion, as Mr. Hill is now run-

Before we take up the crimes of

records in regard to his veracity. If
a mar falsifies shamelessly under I
oath, should he be your governor?- I
leave it to you.
In February, 1917,. before the houe
of representatives, Ferguson stated
that he did not owe the Temple State
Bank “a nickel in the world. ” (S. J.,
p. 186.) Fe admitted before the court
of impeachment that he made the
statement. (Imp. Rec., p. 648.)
In the following August, at the sec-
ond investigation, Ferguson admitted
that when he made his February

Up-state the folks have opened
their eyes to Hobby’s plan for better
schools for EVERY DISTRICT, and
they know that he will deliver the
goods with fair play and equal jus-
tice to all. And the whole State is
fast taking this view. We predict
that the coming two years under Gov-
ernor Hobby will be the happiest and
most thorough periods of reconstruc- ,
tion, and upbuilding of the rural as
well as the city schools in the his-
tory of the State.
