KENNEDY HAS THE RECORD.
Why Not Reward Him For Faithful
Service?
Communicated. ^
Up to this goood hour the rec-
ord of A. M. Kennedy has never
been successfully assailed. It
cannot be. Heisnowina posi-
tion to accomplish more than
ever, if given a second term as
flotorial representative from this
district.
His good work in the last leg-
islature has been commended
and endorsed by leading men of
Texas. That record is-full of
achievements for the people.
The record shows that his
course in the Legislature was in
the interest of the people, and in
the fnatter of tax reform and fi-
nances he was particularly suc-
cessful.
The record shows that he or-
ganized the opposition to the
thirty cent tax rate and as a re-
sult the rate was kept down to
twenty cents, thus saving to the
people ONE THIRD on their
state taxes.
The record shows that he op-
posed, and quite successfully,
extravagant appropriations and
useless expenses all along the
line.
The record shows that his tax
bill, to force public service cor-
porations and the owners of cor-
porate wealth to pay something
like their just proportion of taxes
has produced more revenue than
any other special measure passed.
He got this bill through in the
face of determined opposition
by lobbyists representing the
telepoune, telegraph, oil compan-
ies, express companies, Pullman
car and other corporations en-
joying special privileges and
not heretofore paying their just
dues to the State. Had this bill
been defeated it meant that just
that much more taxes would
have been taken from the pock-
ets of the people who do not en-
joy special privileges, as do these
. corporations.
The record shows that A. M.
KENNEDY lead in the light
that defeated "graft" bills in-
volving a, waste of $50,000 of
the people's money.
The record shows that his bill
to safely invest the permanent
school fund is earning more than
$100,000 a year to the school
children of Texas.
It is democratic custom to give
a public officer a second term
when he has proven himself
faithful to his duty and to the
people. No charge to the con-
trary has ever heen made against
A. M. KENNEDY.
Death of Mrs. Lon Shamblis.
Mrs. Lon Shamblis of Pales
tine, daughter of Mr. and Mrs.
R. M. Jackson of this city, died
at her home in Palestine early
Sunday morning.
Her death was very sudden
and unexpected and proved quite
a shock to her relatives and
friends.
Her mother left here Saturday
night for her bedside in response
to a message that she was ill,
and a later message announced i
her death.
Her father R. M. Jackson, and
her two brothers Sam J. Jackson
and Dick Jackson and wife left
Sunday at noon for Palestine to
attend the funeral which occur-
red Monday.
To the bereaved relatives the
News extends sincere sympathy
in this sad hour.
Pullman Trains on the T. & B. V.
The T. & B. V. railway com-
pany has recently purchased four
solid trains of brand new Pull-
man coaches. The trains are
solid vestibule and the coaches
are the very best on the market.
They are now running these new
cars on the passenger service be-
tween Cleburne and Taague.
They also have four new cars
in the Cleburne shops which have
not yet been put in use.
They have also purchased sev-
eral new engines and will soon
put one in use o the passenger
run.
There is no prettier train than
a Pullman solid vestibuled, and
the service is unexcelled.

To the Democrats of Peecinct No. 4.
I have hoped to be able to see
every voter before the primary,
but owing to circumstances over
which I have no control, (sick-
ness) I find it will be impossible.
I can simply rely on my friends j
to help me 011 that day.
My opponent has held this of-
fice for six years, 2 years over
the democratic rule.
If you elect me I promise to
render Justice to the very best
of mv ability to all alike regard-
less of sex color or previous con-
dition.
Respectfully,
Jesse J. Vannoy.
