Don't wait until the deadline
Jan. 31 to pay your poll tax.
You say one vote won’t make
ajfa difference? History will not
support that theory. Consider
this record:
Thomas Jefferson was elec-
ted President'hy one vote in the
electoral college.
- So was John Quincy Adams.
Rutherford B. Hayes was
elected President by one vote.
His election was contested, and
it was referred to an electoral
commission. Again he won by
a single vote.
The man who cast the decid-
ing vote for President Hayes
was a Congressman from In-
diana, a lawyer who was elec-
ted to Congress by a margin of
one vote. That one vote was east
by a client of his wrho, though
desperately ill, insisted on being
taken to the polls to vote.
Just one vote gave statehood
to California, Idaho, Oregon,
Texas and Washington . . . And
today all the trillions living in
these five stales are Americans
by just one vote.
Don’t forget that one vole in
Congress saved Selective Ser-
vice just before Pearl Harbor.
There is no power like the
eludes Hardin and Tyler coun-
ties. Mr. Stover is a resident
of Silsbee.
The candidate, before his
election as county attorney, was
associated with Terrell Buch-
anan of Silsbee in the general
practice of law'. He has a B.A.
degree from Vanderbilt Uni-
versity and he received his law
degree from Texas University
in Austin.
Mr. Stover has been active
in civic, and public affairs here
ever since he moved to the
county. He is a member of the
Board of Stewards of the First
Methodist Church; is a member
of the executive committee of
the ' Trinit.v-Neehes Council,
