Will A. Harris of Rains
County For the Senate
Will A. Harris, prominent Rains
County citizen, authorizes the Record
to announce his candidacy for the offi-
ce of State Senator from the tenth
Senatorial District, comprising the
counties of Collin, Hunt, Rains and
Rockwall, subject to the Democratic
primaries in July. He would suc-
ceed Senator Joe M. Moore of Green-
WILL A. HARRIS
ville, Hunt County. Mr. Harris has
been prominently and favorably men-
tioned as a tentative aspirant for the
place for the past several months and
his friends assert that he will be a
forceful and favorite contender for
the office and that he is well qualified
of rendering a splendid service to the
people of his district and the State of
Texas.
Mr. Harris was prominently iden-
tified with the Woodmen of the
World for several years, having serv-
ed two terms as Head Banker of Tex-
as, New Mexico and Arizona, and edi-
tor of the Woodman Journal for more
than six years. He was a candidate
for Congressman-at-large from Tex-
as some years ago, when he used a
motorcycle to make his campaign and
registered a large and enviable vote.
After having travelled in all the sta-
tes of the Union and in foreign coun-
tries including Cuba, Dominion of
Canada, Republic of Mexico and Cen-
tral America, making an Internation-
al Educational Tour of America, he
has devoted considerable time to stu-
dy and lectures on his observations,
personal contact and experience rela-
tive to their commercial, industrial,
agricultural, economic and social wel-
fare, and his friends point out that
with his store of knowledge thus gain-
ed.. would be a valuable aid in render-
ing the duties of the office to which he
aspires.
Mr. Harris has been active in public
affairs and politics from his early days
and has held many places of trust and
preferment and among other things,
in his statement, he says “I am a
Democrat and have voted the ticket
straight all my life. My grandfather
and father were Democrats. I have
voted for prohibition at every oppor-
tunity, my first vote being for prohi-
bition in a local option election. Am a
native Texan, having been born on the
same farm on which I now reside.
Joined the Presbyterian Church in my
early boyhood days.” A platform will
be announced later and an active cam-
paign will be made, according to Mr.
Harris.
