In either of the throe points.
There was one bright spot is the
Texas weather picture: up to pres-
ent there had been little indication
of any return to dust bowl condi-
tions of the ‘thirties. For the most
port, no heavy winds had occurred
to kick up dust, except for localized
instances.
As far as the Weather Bureau
could tell, it seemed that the fourth
week of August would start out
about like the first three sizzling
weeks had been.

Vote Urged
AUSTIN, Aug. M - Gov. Allen
Shivers today urged Texas citizens
to go to the polls and vote Satur-
day, no matter how short the bal-
lot.
For some counties it will be their
shortest ballot in history.
In counties with no local or dis-
trict races to decide, there’s only
one race on the ballot.
A few counties to that situation
Runnels and Concho among them,
have decided just not to bother
holding an election at all. Wichita
County, another of the group. con-
sidered skipping but decided
against it.
“All elections are important to
a democracy,” the governor said.
“The second primary Saturday is
“The fact that only one state
race to at issue should not lessen
the interest of the voters to having
a voice to their government, since
many important district and toed
races also will be decided.
“Therefore, I most earnestly
, urge Texans to go to the polls
Saturday and exercise the priceless
privilege of casting a ballot tor
the candidates of their choice,” he
said.
Judge Frank F. Culver and
Spurgeon Bell are the contestants
to the lone state race. They seek
the Supreme Court Place 1 ds-
“R. Important altrlet races to
which the governor referred in-
elude one eivil appeals court judge-
ship, four Congressional seats,
three State Senate seats, two dis-
frict attorney post, and 29 seats to
the State House of Representatives
to addition, many counties still
must decide some of their county
office holders.
The two candidates for the Texas
Supreme Court judgeship took
somewhat opposing views as to
some counties skipping the holding
of elections Saturday.
Judge Culver frowned on such
decisions but said he doubted any-
thing could be done about it. Bell
said it was up to the local people
in the counties to do as they wish.
