Pensions Lower Under 0 Daniel,
Rotan Man Says, Citing Record
TO THE REPORTER-NEWS:
KEEP THE RECORD
STRAIGHT, LEST WE FORGET:
friend of the masses.
What did the senate state affairs
committee do? It came out with
SJ.R No. 12, which if submitted
You hear it over radio and on the
street from those that do not know
and do not read to find out, that
there was no social security and
no pensions for the aged until the
late and present governor took of-
fice in 1938 The record of the
comptroller of the state shows that
when Jimmie Alfred went out of
office the aged were drawing as
much as $20 per month and that
many were drawing $15 per month.
This' is a matter of record and no
one needs to be deceived and made
to believe otherwise. Why will any- |
one try to deceive the people in
that way when he knows that the
records will not bare them out
And why will anyone be so stupid
as to believe such statements?
What are the aged getting now?
They are getting $7 to $13 per
month, and you all know this is a
fact If House Bill No 340 had
been passed in 1938 as it should
have been, the aged would still be
getting the amounts that they were
Phen Aired went out of office. But
no the state affairs committee of
the senate killed this bill in the
committee room and on the senate
floor, there was not any discus-
sion of the bill. Ask Joe Hill if 1
am not quoting correctly I should all times, so elect one
have said Senator Joe Hill, the Then you will know that our presi-
--------------------------dent has men whom he can depend
to the people and cut into the
state constitution, the state would
have lost about half to three-fourhs
of the revenue it is now receiving
from the natural resources of the
state, and it is not receiving enough
yet, especially on sulphur and gas.
Let’s keep the record straight.
We are now told that there is a na-
tional em rgency existing in the
United States and it is a fact: now
we will elect as our United State*
senator, a man who did not open
his mouth during the national
campaign to assist the election of
the president? I think not. We
have men in this race for the place
left vacant by the death of the
late Morris Sheppard that did en-
dorse and did help elect our presi-
dent We cannot, and I believe that
we will not, take any chances on
any candidate that has not been
loyal to the administrations de-
fense program and that has not
worked for it
We have some true and tried
men, like Gerald Mann. Lyndon
Johnson, and Martin Dies, that you
can put your finger on at any and
all times, so elect one of them.
