Clifton Record
BY ROBT. L. BALDRIDGE
ENTERED AT POSTOFJPICE, CLIFTON,
TEXAS, AS SECONDjCLASS MATTER
EVERY FRIDAY MORNING
SUBSCRIPTION ONE DOLLAR A YEAR
Hon. O. B. Colquitt will make
two speeches in Bosque County,
one at Clifton and another place
to be decided on by the manage-
ment before the July primaries
says a report from headquarters.
The Dallas News has quit pub-
lishing the “straw votes” on the
governors race—it says they are
unfair—in other words, they
have been \very unfavorable to
the News’ favorite candidate,
which of course makes it unfair.
We believe the News will think
the primary unfair on July 23,
when their choice candidate, who
“has done so much for Texas,”
shows up at about fohrth place
whej the*votes are counted.
To The Voters Of Bosque County.
My time having been fully
taken up with school work until
May 20, it will be impossible for
me to make a close canvass of the
county; therefore I take this
means of saying a few words to
the voters in respect to my can-
didacy for the position of County
Superintendent of Public In-
struction of Bosque County.
I have taught in the public
schcols of my native state for
twenty three years, and have
been elected to every position 1
have held by a majority vote of
those whose duty it was to elect
teachers. County supervision
is only a department of the pub-
lic school work, and the qual-
ified voters of the county consti-
tute the school board. A ma-
jority of this board will elect a
County Superintendent, just as
a majority of a school board of
the district elects teachers for
the school or schools in its dis-
trict.
In announcing for the position
lie school work from the primary
to the high school grades.
I was educated in the public
schools of Hill and Johnson
Counties, and have taught in the
rural, village and city schools
of these counties.
Since all my school work has
been done in Hill, Bosque and
Johnson Counties, my executive
ability can be easily ascertained
by any interested voter. I hold
a permanent certificate.
Very respectfully,
(Mrs.) Oka Lee Bettis.
