To The Citizens
cf Armstrong Co.
There has been a circular dis-
tributed over the County by my
opponent, in which statements are
made with reference to the Audit
l made of the County Records. They
i arc showing that discredit has
| been given the Audit made and
are asking that corrections be filed
| with the original Audit. There hao
| been an order of the Commlssion-
; ers Court Correcting the Audit ana
■ this order has been entered on the
minutes of the Commissioners
Court and can be seen in the Of-
fice of tho County Clerk. These
Records are Public Records and are
open to the Public for inspection.
I am asking that each of you go
in and check the audit and the
orders cf the Commissioners Court
j of July 11, 1938. correcting this
1 Audit and satisfy yourself as to
j the correctness.
In answer to the Statement of
the Telegram mentioned in this
| circular in which statement of the
1937 account was not audited: The
j State Auditors make an annual
audit of the State Records of my
office each year, and are not or-
dered out by any citizen of the |
County; thr-y are sent by the State
of Texas. These Auditors were in i
my office on June 15. 19C8 and did !
audit the accounts of the office
for the fiscal year ending June 30.
1937. It is true that the Fiscal
year of 1937 does not end until
June 30, 1938 and therefore are nut
audited until after that date. The
Audit of the State is cn file In my
office and is open for inspection
and I will be glad to show this to
each of you.
I have filled the office the ..very
best that I have known how to do
and my conscience is clear. I want
you to ask your neighbor or your
boy or girl whether I believe in
clean government.
This statement is made so that
; ou will not be misled. I am run-
ning on my own merits and records
in officc; if you think I am honest
and sincere I will appreciate it if
you will go to the polls and vote

Plans ior the Old
Settlers Picnic
Nearly Complete
A number of interested parties
in the Old Settlers' Re-union and
picnic of Armstrong County, met
in the county court room in Claude
Saturday afternoon and planned
| for the old Settlors' Re-union and
picnic.
After discussing the matter pro
and con the committee decidcd to
Isettle the matter as to the date at
[their next regular meeting.
The following committees were
appointed, all of whom are expect-
ed to get right into the "saddle"
and start the good work at an
early date.
Finance Committee: Hugh Doak
and Edd Rodgers.
Program Committee: Mrs. Mai
Kight. Mrs. J. Landon Doak, Mrs.
Ammon Woodward. Mrs. Jimrnie
Yeaman, Mrs. M. L. Hughlett and
Mrs. Wade.
The Program Committee is ask-
ed to select as many assistants as
they deem necessary to assist them
in arranging the program to make
it the best ever for an occasion of
this kind.
Don't forget that this re-union
is for the young as well as the
old. Old Settlers are cordially in-
vited and the young folks must
fall in line and help make this
one of our best gatherings.—Tom
Brummett, President.
To The Voters
of Armstrong
County:-
Referring to the statement issued
by my opponent, it appears as if
ho is trying to mislead the people
cf Armstrong County instead of
facing the facts as they appear in
the county records.
As to the order passed by Com-
missioner's Court July 11, 1938. I
will call your attention to the fact
this order does not correct any
audit in Armstrong County, as
there was no proof offered for cor-
rection, and the order was not
passed unanimously.
The law requires the commission-
ers court to have county books
audited annually, and this is not
the duty of any citizen.
As to clean government I was
referring to misapplication of coun-
ty funds, and not to minor offense.
