LANHAM LEAVES FOR OHIO
TO WORK IN INTEREST COX
Fritz G. Lanham of Fort Worth,
United States congressman from
this district, left Monday afternoon
for Ohio, where he will spend the
next two weeks until the general
election Nov. 2 in a speaking tour
on behalf of Governor James M. Cox
and Franklin D. Roosevelt, Democra-
tic nominees for President and Vice
President.
Mr. Lanham will make a stren-
uous campaign for the Democratic
standard-bearers, speaking in the
principal cities of the home state of
both Governor Cox and Senator
Harding.
Politics are boiling in Ohio more
fiercely than in any other state of
the Union, and it is a distinct com-
pliment to Mr. Lanham to be se-
lected to take the stump in what
is perhaps the most doubtful of all
the doubtful states.—Fort Worth
Record.

terest and attorney’s fees signed
by the above named defendants.
The case has been put off from
time to time, but was called by the

The evidence as given by »the
plaintiff recalls the last undertaking
of the Weatherford citizens in the
line of railroad building. The old
grade stands in pretty good shape
to this day and runs from Weather-
ford to* Poolville by the way of
Peaster. It seems front the evi-
dence, the note which is the basis
of this suit:, was drawn for dhe pur-
pose of securing money to complete
ten mile* of the road, and was sup-
posed to have been signed by thirty
men before it became a valid in-
strument. It was made to T. R.
Erwin, trustee, and contains an as-
signment to him from the Chicago,
Weatherford and Brazos Valley Ry.
Company.
The plaintiff is represented by
Shropshire & Bankhead while Hood
& Shadle and Carter & Queen are
representing the defendants, The
evidence is nearly all in. and the
case will likely be argued hhis after-
noon.
