Somervell Wants the Whole Hog.
With commendable pride in its
home products, Somervell county
is seeking to place two sons,
Vernon Lemens and Jack Langdon,
in the State Senate and House of
Representatives, respectively, and
thus claim for the next-to-smallest
county in Texas the honor of fur-
nishing both the senator for its
senatorial district and the repre-
sentative for its flotorial district.
The Glen Rose Reporter says:
“Somervell county can well be
proud to bring about the election
of two of our highly respected cit-
izens to offices of much importance
in the run-off campaign to be held
Aug. 22. We refer to Mr. Lemens
for State Senator and Mr. Lang-
don for Florotial Representative.
. . . We make no secret of
the fact that Lemens for Senator
—Langdon for Representative—
is our slogan.”
The Tribune joins the people of
Somervell county in wishing suc-
cess for our old friend and present
Flotorial Representative, Vernon
Lemens, in his campaign for the
Senate. Mr. Lemens has held the
position of flotorial representative
with honor to the entire district
for the past eight years.
While not questioning Mr. Lang-
don’s ability, we see no justice in
Somervell county continuing to
hold the flotorial honors, especial-
ly in view of the fact that Mr.
Lemens seems assured of election
to the State Senate.
Johnson county holds the 18th
judicial district honors, Somervell
has held the flotorial honors for
eight years and bids fair to furnish
• the senator from its district this
year—while unless Bosque county
is accorded the honor of furnish-
. ing the Flotorial Representative in
the person of W. E. Cureton, this
county will be unrecognized for a
total of ten years insofar as dis-
trict political honors are concern-
ed.
While Somervell’s selfish at-
titude in wanting the whole hog is
perhaps excusable, Bosque county
voters, of which there are some
6000, can do much to remedy the
situation by first, going to the polls
August 22 and voting for Bosque
county’s candidate for representa-
tive, W. E. Cureton; and second,
getting your neighbor to go to the
polls and- do likewise. Mr. Cure-
ton received a handsome vote of
endorsement in the first primary/
but every voter must turn out at
the polls in the second primary if
Bosque’s candidate continues to
lead in this race. In the matter of
pride in home candidates, Bosque
county should not allow Somervell
to outshine.
Folks, we can all rare back and
laugh. Business has never been
as good as it is in Bosque county.
Picture show closes Saturday
night to get a real work-over.
Folks, it will be new and remodel-
ed all over, a modern balcony, will
have a seating capacity of about
500 and modern front. Just go-
ing to be swell. The only thing I
don’t like, and the architect didn’t
even ask me, is the front awning,
but think he is wrong anyway.
Pretty place and why don’t we,
they -or us do something about it.
Have a wonderful school plant
and a big boys’ dormitory that is
going to ruin, that cost way Up in
the thousands of dollars, not worth
a dime in the world to the present
school plant, town, children or
anyone. With just a little plan-
ning and no outlay of money,
this under a PWA program could
be converted into a gymnasium-
auditorium and be one dandy as-
set to the school, the public and
the school children and commun-
ity. It is really criminal to let
this beautiful building that cost
thousands of dollars to rot down
when so little would make -our
school set up complete for years
to come.
Folks, in my ramblings I saw a
sight for sore eyes and was I sur-
: prised. It was the meat and dress-
ed chicken display in Roque-
more’s meat counter, well arrang-
ed and looked swell. My hat off
to the clerk or boss that did this
job, and to you other markets,‘you
are going to have to step on it or
W. E. CURETON THANKS
VOTERS.
To the Voters of Bosque County:
Sincerely thanking the voters of
my home county, whose loyal sup-
port brought me through the first
primary, leading my opponents in
the race for Flotorial Representa-
tive, I further appeal for an un-
divided support of Bosque County
in the Run-off.
It is Bosque County’s time.
Somervell has held it for 8 years.
Somervell is further honored by
having its candidate for the Sen-
ate placed in the lead for the run-
off in its District.
Johnson County having the dis-
trict judge and district attorney
continously (and with a Repre-
sentative of its own) is well honor-
ed. I join hundreds of other cit-
izens in earnestly appealing to the
voters to support me in carrying
the banner of Bosque County in
this fight for some recognition in
the offices of the district.
Gratefully yours,
W. E. CURETON.
H. H. POWELL IN RUN-OFF
RACE FOR COUNTY JUDGE
To the Voters of Bosque County:
It is with deepest gratitude and
sincerest appreciation that I ac-
knowledge the honor paid me by
the voters of Bosque county who
by their votes and support placed
me in the Run-off Primary to be
held August 22nd.
In response to, solicitations and
profers of support coming from all
sections of the county, I wish to
say that I shall' not disappoint
these loyal .friends but shall con-
tinue, in the race for County Judge
until the finish, and I am much en-
couraged by and deeply appreciate
the activities of my friends and
pledges of assistance from others
who voted for my opponents in the
First Primary.

TREASURER OF THE CITY OF
MERIDIAN, TEXAS:
WILD WEST
LIVES AGAIN
Wild and Whoopee Days
Enacted in Frontier
Centennial
Roque’s gang are going to beat
your stuff. A job well done is a
pleasure to look at.
Down with the old, up with the
new. Mrs. Lennie Brewer has the
old Bub Robertson home down
and will start putting up a modern
dwelling in - its place. Believe
this was known as the old Judge
Locket place. Time marches on.
Lots of social doings on; more
than usual summer activity.
'This run-off between a few coun-
ty candidates and district offices is
looming up with lots of mud or
just plain dirt. If the public will
leave the candidates alone they
will get along. Let’s all vote and
give the boys a big hand but let’s
keep the. mud at the bottom of the
well where it belongs.
Meridian, Saturday the 22nd,
will be headquarters for the elec-
tion returns again. Come in and
see how your favorite candidate
runs.
We have an order for 10 to 12
broiler or fryer turkeys. Will
pay above market price for this
amount of fryer turkeys.
Eggs steady but in demand.
Hens and fryers not wanted.
Lower and in no demand. The
northwest, account of drouth and
feed shortage, moving their poul-
try premature and glutting the
market.
The Ft. Worth Centennial is
well worth seeing and the main
shows cannot be described. Must
be seen to be appreciated. The
town of Ft. Worth and the brains
back of this show are to be highly
congratulated. Everything is fine;
the only don’t is don’t check your
hat at the Casa Manana as after
seeing a wonderful show the at-
tempt at getting your hat hack and
the delay in time of getting it will
spoil all the good effects of the
show and leave a bad taste, in your
mouth. Leave your hat at home
Dave Montgomery Thanks Voters.
I wish each friend and suppor-
ter to accept this message of grate-
ful thanks and appreciation as a
personal message from me. I am
more grateful than words can ex-
press for the vote given me, plac-
ing me in the run-off. I wish to as-
sure everyone that I have the kind-
est regards for those supporting
either of the other five candidates
for the office of sheriff in the first
primary. I recognize the right of
every person to support whomso-
ever they may choose in a political
race. I shall, of course, be glad
and deeply appreciative if those
who .supported others in this race
will give me their support in the
Run-Off primary to be held Satur-
day, August 22nd. Anyhow, I ask
that they investigate carefully
my qualifications for the Office of
Sheriff in any way they may
choose. I have resided in this sec-
tion practically all of my life,
therefore, it will be an easy matter
to ascertain whatever information
you may desire concerning my life
and qualifications as a peace offi-
cer.
Again extending thanks forthe
support given me in the first pri-
mary and asking the influence and
vote of everyone who feels kindly
towards my candidacy to give me
their support and vote in the run-
off,
adv-c
Sincerely yours,
DAVE MONTGOMERY.
To the Voters of Precinct No. 1:
To my friends who supported
me in the recent primary and gave
me the leading vote, I wish to ex-
tend my thanks, and ask that you
remember me in the Run-off Pri-
mary, August 22nd.
To those who did not vote for
me in the first primary, if you can
support me in the second, would
be very grateful. The reason I
am running for this position is be-
cause I need it. If elected, will
conduct my duties in a fair, im-
partial manner.
Thanking you again, I am
Yours for a square deal,
H. L. MEADERS.
The office of County Judge is
one of the most important posi-
tions in our government system.
It requires experience, accuracy,
fairness. As the county purchas-
ing agent, the county judge deter-
mines largely what the financial
standing of the county shall be,
what rate of taxation shall be re-
quired to meet county expendi-
tures. The county judge should
have business experience, some
.knowledge of law, and should be
free to perform his duties unham-
pered by obligations to any coterie
of self-seeking backers.
I am making the race for Coun-
ty Judge upon my own merits.
To those who may not know me,
I wish to state that I am 36 years
of age and was born and reared in
Bosque county, am married .and
have a family; I expect to make
Bosque county my home all my
life. After completing local
schools I attended college, then en-
gaged in teaching, later went into
the grain business, and in all have
had 12 years business experience.
While teaching in South Texas I
studied law for three years in
Houston. A few years ago I in-
vested my life savings in a down-'
payment on a Bosque county farm
near Meridian, where I live and
make my livelihood. Everyone
knows the problems that have con-
fronted the farmer the past sever-
al years, and will, I am sure, un-
derstand my desire, to secure a
position of larger income for my-
self and family.
If elected County Judge, I shall
endeavor to serve you faithfully
and fairly,'to favor no group or
section of the county, to keep the
tax rate low by an economical
administration, to render decisions
with deliberation and according to
the laws. At all times I shall
stand ready to advance our beloved
county and its causes and to ren-
der the greatest service, officially
and otherwise, to the greatest
number of people. ' a .
Since the Federal Government
plans to spend large sums of
money on Farm-to-Market roads,
it will be my special aim to work
to the end that Bosque county
shall receive .its fullest share of
these funds and that every sec-
tion of the county shall have Farm-
to-Market roads of the first class.
Assuring you that I shall appre-
ciate your vote and support on
August 22 nd, I am
- Sincerc’y,
HOBART H. POWELL,
Candidate for County Judge.

There probably is nothing new
under the sun. ’Electricity existed
long before Messrs. Volta, Edison,
Marconi; et al, started to fuss with
it. There have been wild west shows
before .. .and successful ones. Be-
fore that of course there was the
real wild west with an arena a
million square miles in compass..
Now comes a spectacle based on
what has gone before but staged
with such lavishness and consum-
mate art that one might well be-
lieve the old west lives again in
“The Last Frontier,” .one of the
outstanding attractions of the Fort
Worth Frontier Centennial.
When Billy Rose was engaged as
director general of the Fort Worth
Frontier, his first act was to set
about organizing the biggest and
most spectacular wild west exhibi-
tion of all time. Some advisors sug-
gested that appeal of such a show
nassed. with the demise of Buffalo
Bill. To Rose the suggestion was
no dice.
“As long as men live there is a
certain glamour about the old days
on the frontier that will never
tarnish. Like the glimpse of,a
pretty woman the deeds of brave
men always make folks buy tick-
ets,” declared the shrewd showman;
“That’s why I intend to deal as my
top aces. . . girls and horses.”
A special set, 263 feet wide and
167 feet deep, representing the
plains and foothills, will serve as
the locale for such stirring events
as attack on the stage, rescue by
rangers, battle with U. S. troops, a
prairie fire and concluding with an
old fashioned square dance with
160 couples. More than 1,000 Indi-
ans, cavalrymen, cowboys and cow-
girls, singers and dancers are en-
gaged in “The Last Frontier.” Di-
rection of the dynamic spectacle is
in the hands of Verne Elliott, fore-
most rodeo entrepreneur and pro-
tege of Buffalo Bill, and Edward
Clarke Lilley, well known New
York drama producer.

A JOINT RESOLUTION
proposing an Amendment to Sec-
tion 26 of Article 3, of the Consti-
tution of Texas, by adding there-
to Section 26a, providing that un-
der no apportionment shall any
county be entitled to more than
‘seven (7) Representatives unless
the population of such county
shall exceed seven hundred thou-
sand -(700,000) people; providing
for the apportionment in counties
of more than seven hundred thou-
sand (700,000)-people; providing
for its submission to the voters as

BE IT RESOLVED BY THE LEG-
ISLATURE OF THE STATE

Texas, be amended by adding
thereto Section 26a, as follows:
“Section 26a. Provided how-
ever, that no county shall be en-
titled to or have under any appor-
tionment more than seven (7) Rep-
resentatives unless the population
of such county shall exceed seven
hundred thousand (700,000) peo-
ple as ascertained by the most re-
cent United States Census, in
which event such county shall be
entitled to one additional Rep-
resentative for each one hundred
thousand (100,000) population in
excess of seven hundred thou-
sand (700,000) population as
shown by the latest United States
Census; nor shall any district be
created which would permit any
county to have, more than seven
(7) Representatives except under
'the conditions set forth above.”
Sec. 2. The foregoing Consti-
tutional Amendment shall be sub-
mitted to a vote of the qualified
electors of this State, at the next
General Election, to be held on
the first Tuesday after the first

every county to not more than
seven (7) Representatives under
any apportionment unless said
county shall have a population of
more than seven hundred thousand
(700,000) people as ascertained
by the most recent United States
Census in which event such county
shall be entitled to one additional
Representative to each one hun-
dred thousand (100,000) popula-

ty shall be entitled to one addition-
al Representative to each one
hundred thousand (100,000) pop-
ulation in excess of seven hundred
thousand (700,000) population.”

of said election that a majority of
the voters are in favor of said
Amendment, the same shall be-
come a part of the State Constitu-
tion.

State of Texas, is hereby directed
to issue the necessary proclama-
tion for said Election and to have
