than they do a brute. Another com-
mandment says, “love thy neigh-
bor as yourself.” Who is your neigh-
bor? Do you know some people be-
lieve it means if some one who has
done something for them but my
Bible tells me it Is some one that
needs us or some one that we can
help like the poor man was helped
by the Good Samaritan. Do you live
that way? You should. You remem-
ber when our Lord and Savior was
on earth he was treated so awful
they crucified him and not one
word did he say. He forgave them
and those people who do not know
what they do, if he were here to
walk and talk with some of the peo-
ple, they would do the same thing.
You know some people just can’t
seem to want this old world to have
God-fearing men in office. We all
know that God is love and we will
have to love everybody if we ever
see God. So dear editor, you will
have to love W. Lee so you might
just as well get started for you know
you don’t want to miss Heaven, do

terests and we don’t like to see a
man brag about how religious he Is.
Our observation is that a business
man or a candidate for office does-
n’t have to keep telling people he
believes in the Bible, they will And
it out If he really is, without him
telling tnem at every opportunity.
Our observation has been that you
better beware of people who keep
telling you how good they are and
how bad everybody else is, and that
is one of the main reasons we are
opposed to Mr. O’Daniel. We have
never found any one who said they
were opposed to the Ten Command-
ments so why does Mr. O’Daniel
think he is so much better than
anybody else? We can’t help but
believe he used the Ten Command-
ments for his platform just because
he figured such a platform would
leave the impression he is a religious
man, and get him thousands of
church members' votes.
We appreciate the nice things you
said about us, Mrs. Warren, and we
know you are sincere in your opin-
ion of Mr. O’Daniel but we have
checked up on this man in places
where he formerly resided and we
can’t help but believe it would be
a most serious mistake to elect him
governor. We do appreciate your let-
ter and we think you are very kind
and charitable In your attitude.

And now we have a letter from
Mrs. C. W. Johnson, who also writes
a very nice letter about Mr. O’Dan-
iel:
Shamrock. Texas.
July 17, 1938.
Dear JAUB:
I hope you won’t mind, too much,
to print this letter even though it
brings forth a few good points of
our candidate for governor. W. Lee
O’Daniel. It has been asked so
many times, what has O’Daniel done
for the people of Texas? I think he
has been very thoughtful of them
myself.
Many times in the years which he
has been on the air, he has stopped
to, give kind and comforting words
to those In sorrow and to try and
lighten the heartaches of our good
people. His programs have meant
very much to many of us when we
felt discouraged. It gave new hope
to us, especially his Sunday pro-
grams.
I think music brightens the lives
of all people that might otherwise
be dull and listless, and I don’t

Insurgents Crash-
(Contlnued from Page One)
predicted Anal victory and exhorted
workers and soldiers to give their
utmost.
Both sides seemed to have con-
centrated every possible warplane,
tank, gun and man in the arid,
scorching countryside where the ac-
tion may quicken insurgent Gener-
alissimo Francisco Franco’s march
toward Valencia and lead eventual-
ly to a breach of communications
between that port and besieged Ma-
drid.
Government advices said the in-
surgents lost “thousands and thous-
ands" of killed and wounded. In-
surgent reports mentioned between
3.000 and 4,000 government prison-
ers taken.
Forces Concentrate
Varela apparently was taking ad-
vantage of the unprecedented con-
centration of government forces in
the area, estimated at 180,000, about
50 miles northwest of Valencia.
Mora de Rubielos, Albentosa and
offensive in which the insurgents
used every variety of weapon
Rubielos de Mora, point of a sal-
ient the government had held two
months north of the Sagunto road,
fell quickly. Insurgents said they
ran up their red and gold flag 30
minutes after storming the town’s
entrenchments.
The swift government withdraw-
al, apparently, was to remove a force
estimated at 40,000 men from peril
of isolation as insurgent pincers
pressed in the base of the salient
along the highway.

and sure hope you don’t find too
many mistakes. Will close and hope
to hear O'Daniel ring out all over
Texas next Saturday as our next;
governor.
Respectfully yours,
Mrs. Della Warren.
—JAUB-
Now, there are a few remarks we
would like to make, answering some
questions Mrs. Warren and other
admirers have raised regarding Mr.
O’Daniel’s candidacy for governor.
First, we would like to say that what
we fought President Roosevelt on
was his proposal to take control of
the United States supreme court,
and the congress likewise opposed
the plan. Many sincere people op-
posed the president taking so much
power in his hands, and personally
we are still ready to take issue with
him if he should propose It again
tomorrow, although we greatly ad-
mire Preisdent'Roosevelt personal-
ly. We did stand in the rain to hear
him and we would do it again if
given the opportunity.
One thing that burns us up about
Mr. O’Daniel, as a matter of fact,
is calling such men as President
Roosevelt a “professional politician,”
and leaving the Inference he ought
to be chased out of office just be-
cause he has made a study of state
and national government and has
held several public offices. Mr.
O’Daniel Is trying to poison the
minds of voters against everybody
who has ever held public office by
calling them “professional politi-
cians,” and we think that is against
the Commandment you quoted,
Mrs. Warren, about “loving your
neighbor.” Do you think Mr. O’Dan-
iel is living up to the Ten Com-
mandments and is loving his neigh-
bors when he accuses everybody In
the race except himself of being a
"professional politician”? Do you
think Mr. O’Daniel Is any more re-
ligious than President Roosevelt
just because he always mentions re-
ligion in his political talks while
Mr. Roosevelt doesn’t feel like a po-
litical platform Is the place to talk
the Gospel?
Personally we don’t like to see a
man use the Bible and religion to
■ I further bis business or political in-
I greatly admire any
time out of his busy day to bring us
these lovely old songs by air. I hope
that all of us aren’t so busy that we
can stop for one minute to remem-
ber that there are many people out
of the six million Texan/s who are
hot as fortunate as we are and for
various reasons cannot attend the
churches to hear these grand old
sacred numbers. These numbers
furnish much enjoyment and bring
lots of cheer to the lives of our shut-
ins. W. Lee O’Daniel did think of
these people while others gave them
no thought.
Mr. ODaniel seems to be a grand
fellow and I’m sure every one would
feel this way about him if they’d
only take time to count his fine
qualities.
We would all be so much better
off if we would try to see the good
in those with whom we come in con-
tact before we criticize them. I am
sure that there Is some good to be
found in each cf us. Let us not over-
look it like so many people do.
I also think that other people’s
religion Is not to be judged by us,
but I do think that our own religion
can easily be judged from what we
say about our fellowmen.
We, the common people of Texas,
believe in and want for our next
governor, W. Lee O’Daniel.
I wish to thank you and the many
others for the thought you gave the
needy children of Shamrock It w?as
greatly appreciated by all.
Sincerely yours,
Mrs, C. W. Johnson.
—JAUB—
We appreciate getting letters like
this and we wish the candidates
pie, we agree with that heartily and
we are going to ask you frankly If
you think Mr. ODaniel is trying to
see the good In his opponents for
governor when he calls them “pro-
fessional politicians,” and intimates
he is the only honest man in the
whole 12? We heard him speaking
today and he said they were all so
dirty that they could cleanse them-
selves in the mud of the Brazos
river. Now, is that trying to find the
good in the other candidates for
governor? Have you ever heard
Ernest Thompson, for instance, say
anything disparaging about W. Lee
O’Daniel? As far as we know Ernest
Thompson has never hinted that
any of the candidates for governor
were dirty and crooked and yet Mr.
O’Daniel comes out and hints they
are all crooked except himself. Is
that the conduct of a Christian gen-
tleman? But we know you are for
O’Daniel and we belike you are
sincere in your convictions, so we
are not going to say any more.
Many thanks for your letter and no
matter who is elected, he will be
your governor as well as ours and
if one of us can put up with him
the other one should be able to.

attitude of Mrs. Johnson. We hearti-
ly agree with her statement that
O’Damel’s program has been fine
and inspiring and has done worlds
of good. We have always considered
him an excellent entertainer but we
know dozens of other people who
can preach good sermons and sing
good Sacred hymns whom we think
would be miserable failures in the
governor’s office. One thing we all
want to remember, however, Is that
the main purpose ODaniel has had
in his radio programs has been to
advertise Hill Billy flour. He hit on
that kind of a program because he
believed people wanted that kind of
entertainment, and he was right. He
hasn’t been doing all this just be-
cause he loved the people of Texas,
it has been his means of making a
living.

Ai-oney vs. Checks
Some students of finance hold that money
will eventually disappear as a circulating
medium, and that only “credit currency,
or bank checks, will be used.
WE BELIEVE YOU’LL AGREE
This may seem to be an extreme view, yet
the trend is definitely to checks. Already
over 90% of all payments are made by
check. The reason is easy to find. Checks
are safe, efficient, convenient. They provide
receipts and accurate records. They save
time and steps.
You can obtain these advantages simply by
opening a checking account at this bank.
