Senator Small declared, “but now
they say all roads lead to Houston.
22 Bathrooms Again
“This contest has developed Into a
light between the skyscrapers of
Houston and the short grass of the
plains and it is up to the people
of West Texas to say which side
they want."
He referred to Sterling’s mansion
at Houston with its 22 bath rooms
saying that a man of such circum-
stances could not have the view-
point of the common people of Tex-
as.
f He charged Sterling with spending
fabulous sums in a whirlwind cam
paign, declaring the office of Texas
Is not for sale.
The Fergusons have been in office
long enough, he said. “They say
they are offering Texas a bargain,
they are offering two governors for
the price of one. I am here to tell
you that Texas would get cheated
If It got six of their kind for the
price of one,” he shouted.
Small Strength Cited
The big pastime in Pampa these
days is trying to find a person who
Isn’t going to vote for Senator Small,
according to Mel Davis, one of
Small’s most ardent supporters.
There are 4,500 qualified voters in
Gray county and Small will get
practically every one of them, Davis
says. He predicts less than 100
votes to the other candidates. Sim-
ilar stories were brought to Pampa
by delegations from other counties.
Odos Caraway and Holman Ken-
nedy of Clarendon said he would
get 90 per cent of the Donley vote.
Wiley Wright, Jep Todd and Judge
B. J. Pickens of Canadian say every-
body in Canadian is for Small.
The Rev. W. A. Erwin of McLean
•aid the same for McLean. S. B.
Hale of Spearman said the North
Plains count es would go almost
solid for Small. Preceding Small’s
speech the Rev. Tom W. Barbham
pastor of the Pampa Methodist
church, addressed the crowd, say-
ing the time has come when voters
must elect a governor who is honest,
upright and fair. He sold it was
his first time in his life to address
a political meeting.
Willis Introduce*
Judge Newton P. Willis introduced
Senator Small, saying in part:
“I could not and I would not in-
troduce to you this peerless prince
«f Panhandle pioneers who you al-
ready know far more intimately
than I can depict. I merely pre-
aent to you my friend of many
years. Your friend and champion
«f ours whose personality has won
Its way to our hearts.
"Bom in Alabama In 1888, this
son of the old Bouth, this gentleman
of the old school, was reared on
these Panhandle highlands, whose
rarefied atmosphere produces men
intrepid, dauntless and true. Pride-
folly I have watched the career of
this apostle of common sense, whose
life has been an open book, known
and read of all men; receiving hi-
adcuation at Trinity Unlversty,
Waxahachlc. Texas, and the State
University of Texas, admitted to
practice law in 1911, winning the
confidence of Juries and clienta.
■tarried to Miss Zoe O'Neil, one of
She Panhandle's queens he rose to
the position of county Judge, mayor
«f Wellington, president of West
Texas chamber of commerce, district
Judge, senator, leading statesman of
both houses and finally to the Saint
Oeorge who slew the dragon of greed
that would fUcb from the people the
land they had bought and paid for
He defeated the attempt of the at-
torney general to “knit a knot In
his fortunes with the fingers of our
substance.' and "like • plumed
knight, like a warrior bold." this
young Lochlnvar came out of the
west and mounted the summit of
Texas fame.
“With extreme pleasure, therefore.
1 present to you a friend without
treachery, a commander without
a victor without oppreeslon.
officer without vice, a
without reproach. A
cttiarn without hypocrisy
k man without guile, the natural
invincible candidate for
of all Texas, Senator CUn-

BILL PORTER MOVES
Folks, as you know, this store has always believed in giving the utmost in 8®r j!.ce
its customers. In our old location in the congested traffic district, we were finding 1
hard to live up to our standards of service. So we have moved. You’ll find us now
in the
PORTER MOTOR BUILDING
ON THE EAST SIDE OF MAIN STREET IN THE 300 BLOCK
We are able to give better service than ever before because we have more parking
room, a better show window for fruits and vegetables, better inside displays—a clean,
fresh, white-painted store that you will appreciate.
The old time service groceries are a thing of the past, you will be told by some of the leading cash and
carry stores. They will try to lead you to believe people do not want service, in fact nothing but price. But
we beg to differ. While we match prices with anyone, quality considered, it has been our experience that
people appreciate quality, accommodation and service day in, day out as much or more than price cut bargains.
Come visit with us, compare our prices, which are governed by the market changes. We follow the market,
no matter how low she goes. For that reason, instead of offering you specials, we give below some of the
bargains you will find in our store every day. We believe you will agree they are money saving prices:
When Eric Johnson, right, took Florence Smith, left, out for a sail
in his 17-foot home-made sailboat off Bermuda recently, he proposed
they continue their voyage to New York. After a 17-day trip in which
several storms were encountered, the couple reached their destination
only to escape by inches wrecking the craft against a pier. They are
shown here at New York.

HARLINGEN, (UP)—Frustration
of the attempts of liquor runners
to transport liquor out of the Lare-
do and Lower Rio Grande Valley
Isn’t so difficult as only two routes
lead out of this 225-mlle stretch of
the Rio Grande. But Interrupting
the continual stream of liquor across
the river to the border country Is
another matter.
Liquor running has become a pas-
time with many Mexican. They
are not dull—these characters—and
their chief delight Is hoodwinking
the border patrol and prohibition
officers. To do that, they are con-
tinually involving novel schemes
that will keep them at least one
jump ahead of the United States
agents.
And because of that, enforcement
officers say that attempts to smug-
gle any considerable quantity of
liquor across the numerous interna-
tional bridges long since has been
abandoned. So has the use of boats,
which are found to be too cumber-
some.
The newest wrinkle, enforcement
officers say. was one encountered
recently. A barrel, filled with bottled
liquors, was sealed airtight on the
Mexican side and placed in the river.
The barrel barely showed above the
surface of the water. It was easy
for a Mexican swimmer to push it
across one of the many desolate
stretches in the lower Rio Grande
territory. If swimming the river
becomes too risky, It la a simple
matter to tie a light rope to a dog liquor. With that discovery prohl-
and send him across. The receiver billon agents began to wonder what
an the Texas side then can station ! portion of the more than 25,000 can

Nor is that the only purpose to I o
which dogs are put. It is known { Mrs. H. B. Ouynes and grandson,

ing, however, makes them worthless
where the river is patrolled fre-
quently.
Not all of the liquor that flows
across the Rio Grande Is bottled in
the brewery where Its label Indicates.
In fact, enforcement agents believe
the majority of It Is not and for
that reason is very Insanitary. Mes-
cal and tequila especially, two popu-1
lar liquors In the border country,
often are brought across In goat j
stomachs and bladders. The con-)
slgnment Is lighter and less bulky
that way, and It Is a simple matter
to bottle and label It at some adobe
hut hidden In the thick, almost Im-
penetrable brush.
Despite their efforts to prevent
It, government agents know that
considerable liquor Is seeping into
Central and North Texas. While
the two highways were watched
meticulously last year, a steady
stream waa slipping through. It had
them mystified until a car lot ship-
ment of what purported to be Rio
Grande Valley cabbage was entered
In Oklahoma and found to consist
largely of liquor. Crates or cab-
bage lined the walls of the car, but
Inside were hundreds of cases of
liquor which was valued at many
thousands of dollars.
The owner was never apprehend-
ed. However, a check of the rec-
ords showed that several other cars
had been billed out earlier In the
season by the same shipper, and It
