DAN MOOOY jfllHOUNCES FOR GOVEtNOR.
Austin Tex. March 6. At-
torney General Dan Moody an-
. noiuiced his Candidacy for Gov-
ernor of the Stato of Texas at 5
o'clock Saturday afternoon. The
Announcement said:
"An unparalled political condi-
tion confronts tho people of Tex-
. aft; a condition which challenges
every patriotic man and woman.
"For more than a year one
man a private citizen has oc-
cupied a position of greater pow
er and influence than any public
offical and that man has been
and now is free from the re-
straints and responsibilities of
which the law places on public
officials. As a result of this situ
ation wo have had and now have
government without responsibi-
lities to either the people or the
law and the exercise of official
authority by proxy.
' "Let us briefly mention some
thinirs which should nnusn tho
4 blush of shame to come to the
face of every Texan who loves
his State.
Attorney for Railroad
"This private citizen who is
the husband of the Governor
has admitted that he was the
salaried emnlove of n. vntirnnri
corporation while he was acting
tas chiof adviser and making de-
cisions for the Governor
-" "He has operated a newspaper
carrying expensive advertise-
ments of corporations while leg-
islation affecting their interests
was pending. This paper has
earned expensive advertisement
of contractors who were either
holding or seeking road contract
under a highway commission ap-
pointed by the Govemor under
me guidance ana influence of
her husband
"He has sat with the High-
way Commission and his politi-
cal friends who were' never
known as road contractors hav-
ing received contracts that have
been a heavy tax upon the pub-
lic treasury.
"He has had a member of the
Text-book Commission connect-
ed ithi the paper of hich he is at
the head.
"He has brouorht about thn an.
pointment of himself as clerk of
the free Textbook Commission
and; has taken an active and do-
minant part in the letting of a
large textbook contract to the
highest bidder.
Would Continue on Job.
"In the face of such a condi-
tion he attempted to continue
himself in this unusual position
by having his wife offer as a
candidate for Governor on the
fanciful idea that jthe people of
Texas Bhould and want to vin-
dicate hi mfrom the charges up
on which he WaB Jmpdached con-
victed aftd. removed from office
in 19 IT. It is time to forget in-
dividuals and look to the inter-
ests of Texas her good name
and the welfare o.f hor people.
"In the discharge of my duties
as Attorney General facts have
been uncovered imrl 1n-nnr1ii j
light in the administration of tho
road funds by tho State High-
way Commission showing an in-
i excusable waste of public money
The facts showing this wanton
ipisuse of public confidence arc
familiar to tho people of Texas
and need nqt be recounted here.
I The Governor guided controlled
and influenced by her .husband
appointed tho commission re-
sponsible. Not only that but
tney ooioiy and brazenly em-
! ployed counsel to defend unreas-
onable and unconscionable con-
tracts and which were held to
be unreasonable and unconscion-
able by the court.
"The candidate guided and
controlled by this influence of-
fers for re-election as tho prom-
ise to be iruided- in tho future hv
the same influences that have
directed her administration in
the past. That the people of this
orate win continue- to tolerate
such a condition is unthinkable.
Fires at Davidson
"No other candidate is offered
for Governor who seems to real-
ize the irravitv of tho sitnntinn
now confronting tho pople of Tex
as. in tact the only other can-
didate who has spoken on the
pueslion accepts the lame ex-
planation of these contracts iriv-
en b ythe mouthpiece of the pres
ent Governor and adontetl the
figures.of the resigned chairman
of the Highay Commission and
sa.'i that my effotr to compel
road contractors who had wrong
ully taken from the public funds
unconscionable and excessive
profits to return such profits
was a mistake. Therefore there
can be no issue between that
candidate and the present ad-
ministration on this question.
This issue is one involvintr nub-
lis honestv which is of first im
portance in a free government
and this candidate in pre-cam-
paign speeches attempts to mini-
mize and; says he knows one
which overshadows it.
"A through exposure of con-
ditions and a complete adminis-
tration to justice in this matter
and the proposition of the State
cannot be accomplished without
the full and courageous co-operation
of a Governor who is
willing to go tho whole vay for

Has Dozen Planks
If honored with your confi-
dence as chief executive of this
State I pledge on my record in
the past to cany out the follow-
ing policies:
"1. To thoroughly expose
and use everv nowor nf tho nf.
fice to bring to justice those re-
sponsible for tho inroads which
nave been made into the public
treasury throutrh the lettimr of
excessive and conconscionable
contracts.
"2. To see that the principle
of honesty is recognized in every
branch and dealing of the gov-
ernment. "3. To appoint clean high-
class honest and canable men
and women to every public office
under the administration.
4. "To see that the neonle of
this State get a dollar's value for
every dollar that is exncndod bv
every department of the State
government and to attemnfc to
uncover every leak hrough which
-puoiic tunus are now dissipated.
Adequate laws should be passed
to protect tho public funds from
dissipation and punish those re-
sponsible. No Wholesale Pardons
"6. That I will jiot cripple the
efforts of the law-enforcing of-

For the First Tim
$50 Buys a Closed Car
If you plan to spend over $500 F. O. B. Factory for an auto-
mobile you cyi get tho year-round comfort and conven-
ience of a Ford closed car.
Tho price advantage which tho public enjoys In purchasing
Fortl cars is the result of volume production. In 1920 when
tho Ford Motor Company was producing approximately
only a million cars a year the Ford Touring Car 6old for
$575. Today with production on tho basis of nearly two
million cars a year tho Tudor Sedan a high quality all-
steel closed car can be purchased for $520 $55 less than
tho Touring Car sold for six years ago. Open car prices nr
correspondingly low.
' While this program of price reduction has been carried on'
Important refinements and improvements have been made
In Ford cars. The latest improvements Include new and
. attractive body lines a lower center of gravity closed cars
.in color all-steel bodies new brakes and new stylo fenders.
However tho basic features of Ford design have not been
changed. Three point motor suspension planetary trans-
mission dual ignition system torquo tube drive multiple
dl8c-in-oll clutch splash lubrication thermo-syphon cool-
ing system .outstanding features of automobile design
havo all been retained regardless of cost.

Neglecting a little wound cut
or abrasion of the flesh may in
nine cases out of ten cause no
great suffering or inconvenience
but it is the one case in ten that
causes blood poisoning lockjaw

cheapest safest and best course
is to disinfect the wound with
liquid Borozone and apply the
Borozone powder to complete the
healing process. Price (liquid)

DangerlnCoughs
That HangOn
Neplected coughs often lead to worse
trouble. Yet there is a simple method
based on the famous Dr. King's New
Discovery which usually breaks the
worst cough entirely in 24 hours.
Hero is the method: You take just
one teaspoonful and hold it in your
throat for 15 or 20 seconds before swal-
lowing it. It has a double action. It
not only soothes and heals irritation
but also removes the phlegm and con-
gestion which are the real cause of the
coughing. So the most stubborn cough
soon disappears completely.
Dr. ICing's New Discovery is for
coughs chcist colds bronchitis spas-
modic croup etc. Fine for children
too-r-no harmful drug3. Very economi-
cal as the dose is only one teaspoonf uL

DID YOU KNOW THAT
There is a scarcity in the bus-
ness ofiimo of high-priced men
and women today; there are
many worth a thousand dollars
a year but only a few worth ten
thousandjust a li'.tle training
makes this difference. Prof.
James of Harvard declared that
the average man uses only ten
per cent of his brain power.
Suppose you are twice as capa-
ble as the average man you are
using only twenty per cent of
your maximum power one-fifth
of your greatest possibilities.
Eighty-five per cent of the
men of this country are earning
only twenty-fie dollars or less
per week. Ninety-two per cent
of those in business fail between
the ages of forty and fifty.
Ninety-five per cent have no
money at the age of sixty. Our
business is to take you out of
the eightv-five. the ninrtv-twn
and the ninety-five per cent
