BOGUS CASHIER CHECKS
IN CIRCULATION
There are bogus cashier checks in
circulation and one was cashed here
a few days ago by a local merchant.
The cashier’s check was for $20.00 and
was issued by the Security State Bank
of Longview, Texas. There is not
now and never has been such a bank
in operation. The young man passing
the check was picked up Thursday
morning, March 10, by the local sher-
iff’s department and charged, with
swindling. He was fined $23.20 and
made good the amount of the check.
The man passing the check claimed
that it was found by him.

MRS. DARDEN TO TEST DECISION
(Ft. Worth Star-Telegram)
Mrs. Ida M. Darden, candidate for
Congressman-at-large, announced here
Thursday she will seek a writ of man-
damus before the Supreme Court of
Texas to test the legality of the rul-
ing of the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee Wednesday requiring
the candidates to file their names for
specific places on the ticket.
Mrs. Darden, running on a prohi-
bition repeal platform, is the first of
the 25 announced candidates to de-
clare she will contest the committee’s
decision to certify candidates for pla-
ces 1, 2 and 3 on the ballot. The com-
mittee, which laid down its ruling on
the question before concluding its
meeting here with the selection of
Houston for the state convention on
May 24, invited a test before the Su-
preme Court to determine whether it
properly should specify places or al-
low the candidates to engage in an
open race.
An attorney for Mrs. Darden was
engaged Thursday in looking into the
election laws governing the commit-
tee’s decision, preparatory to filing
the mandamus action in Austin. It
was indicated the writ will be sought
at once.
Other candidates for Congressman-
at-large here, while dissatisfied with
the committee ruling, were prepared
to abide by its decision.
W. Erskine Williams said that
while he preferred an open race, he
was satisfied with the action of the
committee and would not contest it.
W. E. Myres said he disapproved of
the designation of places, fearing it
might in some instance defeat the
voter’s opportunity to cast his ballots
for the three candidates of his choice.
He pointed out that under the adopted
method of filing, all the candidates
favored by a voter might be includ-
ed in the same group.

which laid insistence upon a pledge

“THE RAINBOW TRAIL”
of party loyalty to those participating
in precinct and county conventions,
threatened to defeat the desire of
Democratic leaders for a wholly har-
monious party in the state this year.
The loyalty demand was made in a
resolution requiring a pledge to sup-
port party nominees for President and
Vice President from all participants
in the precinct and county conven-
tions.
The requirement was interpreted as
being intended to prevent a repetition
of the bolt of a large number of Texas
voters to the Hoover camp in the
1928 election. Leaders here of that
movement Thursday said they would
examine the laws to determine wheth-
er the Democratic committee legally
,can exact such a pledge from theip.
They pointed to a Supreme Court
ruling obtained by Tom Love of Dal-
las in 1930 as a basis for their be-
lief that the requirements of the
pledge is not -valid. The Supreme
Court decision compelled the Demo-
cratic executive committee to place
Love’s name on the ticket for Gov-
ernor after it had barred the bolting
voters from becoming candidates of
the party.
Mrs. J. T. Bloodworth, district W.
C. T. U. president and a leader of
thd Hoover-Democrat movement in
1928, refused to comment directly up-
on the pledge requirement, but de-
clared that as far as her organiza-
tion is concerned “there are no Dem-
ocrats and Republicans where prohi-
bition is at stake.”
“The W. C. T. U. is a solid body
on the dry question,” she said.
She added that she “hoped the Dem-
ocrats will do the sensible thing and
give us a candidate we can vote for.”
Julien C. Heyer, another of the
leaders of the movement within the
Democratic party for Hoover in 1928,
said he would make a study to de-
termine whether the party pledge sys-
tem had not been nullified by the de-
cision in the Love case. J. W. Stitt,
chairman of the Hoover movement,
declined to be quoted until he had
examined the question. Cato Sells,
Hoover Democrat leader four years
ago, was out of the city Thursday.

"THE PEOPLE, WHO SELL IT EOR LESS”
Thursday afternoon, March 10, snow
began falling in Lampasas. As the
ground was wet the snow melted
about as fast as it fell. Thursday
night more snow fell and Friday
morning there was perhaps a half
an inch on the ground. The moi-n-
ing sun soon melted the snow. At
2:30 in the afternoon snow was again
falling and the ground may be cov-
ered Saturday morning.
We want to thank, from the very
depth of our hearts, the friends, who
so faithfully and loyally ministered
unto us in our sorrow in the loss of
our husband and father. We appre-
ciate more than words can express
your many kindnesses.
Mrs. L. J. Woodruff,
Mrs. W. A. Wilson and
children. (d)
