TERM AS
Before asking voters of Erath
County to re-elect me for the
second term to the office of County
Superintendent of Schools of our
County, I believe It Is my duty
to give an account of myself for
“ i one term I have tried to serve
you.
Even though It Is a very well
eaUblished custom to give any
one a second term, I do not think
yaa owe It to me or any one un-
lm you are satisfied with the
cervices rendered you.
During this term that I am now
serving you. I have given my en-
tire time and every ounce of my
energy to ONE purpose, and that
was to serve you best and make all
adhools in Erath County the beat
with a
people Of my County. If the good
people will elect me as their rep-
resentative In that capacity, I
promise to be true to the trust and
confidence of the people, and I
shall render to you the best ser-
vices that I am capable of ren-
dering. Upon these promises I
earnestly solicit the support of all
people and hoping that I shall
have the pleasure of seeing you
during the campaign and there
face to face with you personally
solicit your vote and influence In
the coming Primary of the 23rd,
of July 1938, I am.
Respectfully yours.
Clint Barham,
Candidate for County Attorney,
Erath County, Texas.
-O-
that it was in my power to make
them, and above all else provide
ANNOUNCEMENT
more efficient training for every
boy and girl In this county.
I have been considerate of every
Individuals' desires and have
granted them if In my power — If
It did not Injure a greater number
Omui It helped. I always wanted
to grant every request, but In a
few Instances, where two Interests
conflicted. 1 was compelled to say
"NO". It sometimes takes more
•enrage to say NO than to promise
anything, but I have always, In
office or out of It, desired to ac-
comodate every one that I could
and there is nothing that gives me
■sore pleasure than to render ser-
vice to anyone I am able to serve.
The school laws of Texas change
ao often that it is difficult Indeed
to always know the latter laws
and regulations of the State Board
aad the State Department of Edu-
cation, but I have given myself
unceasingly to the task of trying
to keep posted on every new law
asal new regulation, and I think
that my greatest service to you
first term has been rendered
To the voters of Erath County;
I hereby submit my name as a
candidate for the office of District
Clerk of Erath county, subject to
the action of the Democratic Pri-
mary In July.
I am a native of Erath county,
and have spent most of my life
In the country as a private citl-
sen. I have an ambition to step
up a little higher, and to serve
our people as Clerk of the Distr
Court. I believe I am qualified to
perform the duties of the office
and If you see proper to honor me
with your vote and the office,
wlU show my appreciation by
courteous treatment under all con
ditlona. and the very vest service
that I can possibly render.
Assuring you that 1 will appre-
ciate your vote and Influence,
am, 1
Sincerely yours,
J. W. (Bill) Shannon.

CLEARING ATMOSPHERE
The special session of Congress
largely Is blamed for doing noth-
ing. But three things which would
have taken Just as long in the
regular session and they were done
at the special session. The Housing
Ml!, to increase labor wae put In
form where it can be quickly pas-
sed and will go to conference as
soon as the regular session con-
venes. The same thing Is true of
the Farm Bill and just as much
time would have been needed in
the regular session as was con-
sumed In the special session for
its enactment. The Wage and
Hour bill was sent back to a com-
mittee and If it ever comes out
of there it should be In a form
far more acceptable to all parties
who are Interested to its effect,
labor, business and the consumer.
As It was just brought forth It
waa purely political and was op-
posed by all the groups who should
have been the most interested in
its succes.
MISCELLANEOUS MEASUR-
ES — The regional planning bill
and the Government reorganiza-
tion bill are to be taken up at
the regular session and both face
strong opposition. Relief appro-
priations. revision of the food and
and anti-trust laws,
of the Maritime Com-
| luritiea and Exchange
Commission and the Federal Trade
Commission are other subjects due
for consideration.

million dollars headed in the dir-
ection of the farmers. The billion
dollars will be in the form of

ing loans, and for the WPA funds
to build farm-to-market roads tq,
aid the farmer. Then there Is
