LAST STATEMENT
TO VOTERS
BAILEY’S FINAL
STATEMENT FOR
DISTRICT ATTY
My Friends* Ladies aad Gentleman:
Hiring barely fa lion abort of vic-
tory for District Attorney two year*
ago, I took the splendid rote accord'
ed me then as an investment and an
Invitation to try again rather than
a mere political event; and since this
1a my second race, and there are
only two of ns, Saturday’s election
determines finally the political fu-
tore of yonr humble aspirant
My opponent and I have agreed
not to have cards handed oat at the
polls Saturday and thereby save both
the expense of the cards and the
worry occasioned thereby. But you
may work for and assist me in any
other manner you desire.
This is an hour of grave uncertain-
ty in the life of every man. woman,
and child and increases with each
day's events at the front, yet. as
never before, it is our duty to keep
intact our democratic institutions
and to provide the best staff of pub-
lic officials, both State and National,
that can be found—men of proven
ability, cdpable. loyal and ready to
go beyond their mere statutory duty
In this crisis and willing to give
their all for their country
In a democracy, the public prose-
cutor is, and always has been, espec-
ially in time of war the people’s bul-
wark againet crime and lawlessness,
and upon him rests the rights, liber-
ties and safety of the people; and,
while much of the credit for detect-
ing crime and apprehending the of-
fenders really belong to the peace of-
ficer* who riak their lives and sacri-
fice their choicest moments to an-
swer their duty, yet actually the peo-
ple. the radio, magazines and news-
papers depict the District Attorney
es the principal character and credit
him with breaking up crime, rings
and rackets which prey upon society.
Indeed, he is held more or leu re-
sponsible for the success or failure
of law enforcement and should there-
fore be a man of mature judgment,
proven ability, indomitable courage
and vigor and who holds duty and
honor above friendship and every
thing else and fearlessly and impar-
tially performs bis tasks.
Oa July 2$th. you will choose your
District Attorney. Your inquiry is.
WHO CAN BEST SERVE? As
a candidate 1 submit that my literary
end legal training consisting of a!
most four years in two of our senior
colleges and over three years in our
University of Texas Law School to-
gether with my nine years of exper
in lb* trial and appellate courts
of our State and in the U. S. District
•Courts amply qualify me to serve
you well. During two terms I served
as County Attorney of Shelby County.
1935 to 193$. the records of the
County Court reveal that I obtained
more convictions and collected more
fines than any other County Attorney
before or since, notwithstanding the
large bulk of the so called “drunk
driving cases" were not in the Coun-
ty Court during my terms.
An inspection of the record shows
that 1 actually obtained 135 final
conviction* out of 196 cases, whereas
the next best record shows only 105
convictions, some of which are not
final Judgments. The record further
shows that under my administration
12$ case* were reported on the fee
book with a total collection of 97.-
699.66. with an average of 960.30
per case collected, and with 31 cases
exceeding 1100.00 la fines and cosU
back, whereas the next highest by
any County Attorney is only (60)
cases reported, with a total collection
of only 12.701.60, with an average of
164 00 per case, aad with only
cases exceeding 1100 00 In fines and
costa. Thorefore, upon the public
records of Bhelby County to whjeh
urge your careful scrutiny and com
pari son lies written an account of
my stewardship as a prosecuting at-
torney. a record made by hard labor
9n obedience to duty, and which dis-
pells any deubt of my ability, vigor
and qualifications for the office
District Attorney, and accounts for
the fact that I carried 20 of the 33
voting boxes In Bheby Connty In my
race for District Attorney two years
ago.
In this campaign 1 am deeply grate-
ful for the kindly manner In which
you have received me and the won-
derful support and encouragement
you have given my candidacy. Hav-
ing been reared almost equally in
the two counties of the district, and
having descended from one of Pa-
nola County’s largest pioneer fami-
lies. it ia truly fitting that I have
your support If then, my friends,
you confer upon me the duties of the
office and thus honor me with the
grant opportunity I have so diligent-
ly sought to serve the people of my
section of our State, it shall be my
whole purpose to conduct the office
Upon a high plane of efficiency and
in keeping with the splendid manner
in which my worthy and able pre
cedecessors have held It in the years
gone by, with fatthfullness to duty,
with fairness and Impartllity to all,
and with an unalterable devotion to
the one purpose—wervice to my fel-
low man. To this end, my friends, I
shall dedicate to you the best efforts
of which I am capabe, even my sac-
red honor. I am.
Your friend,
DAVI8 BAILEY
Gordon Davis
Makes Statement
To the Voters;
1 want to thank each and everyone
of my frienda for their loyal support
in the past and 1 am again asking
your support in the coming primary.
I am very sorry that I wont be able
to see every voter perwonnally as I
would like to do on account of the
scarcity of rubber and limited time.
I won’t be able to make a thorough
canvas of the county. As you know
1 served one term as your sheriff
and would like very much to have a
second term, and if you good peo-
ple will elect me your sheriff I will
do my beat to make you a good of-
ficer. I know I make mistakes and 1
would like to have a chance to cor-
rect those mistakes. Again 1 want to
thank you for youq support in the
P«st and also the coming primary
Saturday I remain yours to serve.
GORDON DAVIS
(Pol. Adv.)
CHARLIE CRUMP
MAKES APPEAL
To the Voters of Precinct Two:
The primary is lastly approaching
and in the waning hours, I wish to
extend my appreciative thanks to
the many loyal friends and voters
who have pledged me their support
on next Saturday. With the aid and
help of these friends and the voters
of precinct two I hope to complete
the campaign I started four years
ago. when 1 was given a place In
the run-off. If elected to serve as
yonr next commissioner. 1 will at
all times strive to pay the voters
dividend in service that will meet
with their approval.
Respectfully yours,
CHARLIE CRUMP
(Pol. Adv.)
Last March When I announced my
• candicacy for County Judge I prom-
* I ised the people that If I were elected
‘ the next County Judge that I would
stream line tha county government
In order to reduce expenditures.
Elect me your County Judge and
1 will conform with the state law df
submitting a budget to the Commis-
sioners’ Court In July of each year
before the tax-rate la set ht Septem-
ber; then, you will know for what
purnose your tax money Is to be
spent Panola County la now operat-
ing without' a budget because the
present County Judge failed to sub-
mit one to the Commissioners Court
In the April 2, 1943 Issue of the
Panola Watchman the incumbent
made this statement In his announce-
ment for re-election:
Quote Judge Crawford: “Before the
July Primary. I. expect to address
you again through the columns of
this paper. I Intend to have printed
a complete audit of the county’s fi-
nancial condition for the pest years.
For nearly four years now we peo-
ple have been chloroformed and lull-
ed to sleep by such idle prattle and
unfilled promises. Although the Couu
ty Judge has given verbal statements
concerning the financial status of
the county, no financial statement
has been submitted to the public
through the columns of the press;
because, such a financial statement
could not stand public scrutiny. The
Texas Legislature in which I have
served for the past eleven years
gave special apace within its cham-
bers to the press in order to keep
the public informed. Elect me your
County Judge and I shall invite the
press to cover every meeting of the'
Commissioners’ Court.
Elect me your County Judge, and
I will promptly try every case which
is filed by the State Department of
Public Safety for negligent driving
negligent homicide which occur
on the highways of Panola County.
Men women and children have been
injured or killed on the county's high-
ways, and the Highway Patrolmen
have filed cases which have never
been brought to trial. The Sheriffs
department has filed many eases for
law violations in County Court, and
they are still untried. We have now
nearly 16000 of uncollected fines
•which should have gone Into the Of-
ficers’ Salary Fund tf they had been
collected. Elect me your County
Judge, and these cases shall be tried
and flues shall be collected, aad the
General Fund shall not harve to sup-
plement the Officers' Salary Fund
The present County Judge has ac-
cused me of voting against the so-
called County Judges' Bill which was
before the Texas Legislature last
year. This Bill was a reenactment
of the lc gasolne tax to be used for
the retirement of county bonds which
had been used for the construction
of highways which later became a
part of the Bute Highway Syste
The Judge should not have ms
such an accusation without having
looked at tho record. For the behe-
fit of these who might be inclined to
believe the Judge’s statement, I cite
you to page 1698 of the April 1 House
Journal, which show* AIsup voted
Aye on final pawsage of the Bill.
The electorate of this county know
me too well to believe that any per-
son or group of persons could in-
fluence me in the administration of
the office of County Judge. >
Show your interest (n county gov-
ernment by going to the polls Sat-
urday and casting your vote lor—

To the Votera of Precinct Three:
I wish to cordially thank every
citizen of precenct three for their
past courtesies and the many con-
siderations shown me. Your cooper
atlon has been a hundred percent
and 1 will always be grateful to you.
I trust that I have handled the duties
of the commissioner’s office In a
manner pleasing to you all, and
take this method of seeking your
further support, vote, and gootj, will
in the primary next Saturday.
Respectfully,

FINAL STATEMENT
As my friends through the year*
•well know, this has been a trying
campaign for me. The great national
urgency ha* reached Into the
homes of many a»6d has prohibited
normal living due to the many sac-
rifices we have all cheerfully made.
The war hae brought tire rationing,
and a scarcity of many Item*,
undoubtedly *re will be called upon
to face more Jacrlflcea in the future.
But the ordinary things we have
given up for ultimate victory, the
material things ha* not been my
greatest concern. This war has in
vaded my bom and my family circle,
and while no news of safety arrived
from my son an fallen Bataan, death
entered my home. I am not writing
this message to the people for the
purpose of encouraging sympathy
for my candidacy, but to explain to
tho voter* why It has not been pos-
sible for me to contact every In-
dividual In the county. In past years,
the people of my native county have
/been good to me. and 1 am confi-
dant my frienda and supporters, who
are Interested in continued adequate,
fair, and just enforcement of the
law will not fall me next Saturday.
I feel like I have men as my deputies
who are clean, h|Pe*t. aad capable.
They are tjjinm. courteous, and
Yell liked, anda(ft‘mlidy of my of-
every parson

flee has been to give

treatment.
Thank you all many time* for your
past consideration andfrleadship and
please accept this message as an
Invitation fpr your continued good-
will and cooperation.

“Oh- I have-slipped the surly bonds|
of earth
“And danced the skies on laghter-|
silvered wings;
“Sunward I've climbed, and joined!
the fumbling mirth
“Of sun-split clouds—and done
hundred things
“Ton have not dreamed of—
wheeled and soared and swung |
“High In the sunlit silence.
Hov'ring there,
*Tve chased the shouting wind
along, and flung
“My eager craft through footless
halls of sir.
“Up. up the long delirious, burning |
blue
“I’ve topped the wind-swept
heights with easy grace
“Where never lark, or even eagle|
flew—
“And. while with silent lifting
mind I’ve trod
“The high untrespassed sanctity A\
•pace,
' Put out my hand and touched the|
face of God.’’
