District 10
State Representative
The position of District 10 State
Representative is presently held by„;
Smith E. Gilley of Greenville.
Gilley is opposed by Democrats
Lowell Cable of Sulphur Springs and
Louis P. Marshall of Greenville.
Republican .Jack Whiiden of
Commerce is also seeking the position.
Lowell Cable (Dem.)
Lowell Cable and wife Mary have
two children and live on a farm near
Reilly Springs.
Their sons are Day, 20, a -junior at
the University of Texas, and Chad, 25,
a new lawyer in Sulphur Springs.
Chad and his wife Leslie, a Braniff
flight attendant, live in Como.
Lowell Cable, a Navy veteran of
World War II, served on Guadalcanal
and other islands of the Solomon
chain. Treasury Islands, Saipan and
Okinawa.
Cable and his wife are both
graduates of Oklahoma State
University and Cable was a
vocational agriculture teacher for
several years. His wife taught
remedial reading at Douglas School
for a number of years.
He has been engaged in the real
‘TAtate business since 1958 and has
been involved in various civic affairs,
including tenure as the president of
the Sulphur Springs Independent
School District, chairman of the
Hopkins County Regional Livestock
Arena and Civic Center Complex.
‘‘The (civic center) project in-
volved bringing the county, school,
city and federal governments
together in a model of inter-
governmental cooperation,” he said.
Cable is presently serving as
secretary-treasurer for the Sulphur
River Municipal Water District and is
engaged in “an attempt to make the
Cooper Reservoir a dream come
true.”
“My interest in politics developed
as I saw our lifestyle in Hopkins
County and the traditional values that
made this country great, being
consantly eroded by bigger, less
responsible and more intrusive
government,” Cable said.
“As our sunbelt urban areas con-
tinue to grow, the real struggle in the
legislature is to see that rural con-
servative iterests are voiced in
Austin,” Cable says. “I am com-
mitted to the notion that we need less
government regulation in our daily
personal and business lives.
“Fiscal responsibility, individual
freedom and limited government are
what I stand for. I am deeply com-
mitted to excellence in our schools
and opportunities for our youth to
become productive citizens.”
Cable said he feels that a tough
stand on law and order is necessary.
“Our fine peace officers are fighting a
deadly serious battle,” he said.

County Sheriff
John E. (Junior) Tittle currently holds
the position of Sheriff of Hopkins County.

formal agreements with city 'police
departments to handle problems inside
city limits.
The sheriff has control of his operations,
appointing deputies, jailors, and ad-
ministrative officials.
The sheriff is also responsible for ad-
ministering his budget.
The 1979 budget for the Hopkins County
Sheriff's Department was |1C1,7S1.
The 1990 budget is for *191*6.
Challenging the incumbent is Gene D.
