WALTER IVY VICTIM
OF RUNAWAY SCRAPE
AT RANCH MONDAY
Condition of Walter Ivy, 27, who
was hurt Monday when his mules ran
sway while hauling water remained
critical last night. Ivy was taken to
the Stamford hospital.
Ivy who lives about II miles south
of here was hauling water on the
Willow Springs ranch when his mules
ran away with him. lyy's mother was
the first to suspect an accident when
she saw his mules run by the house
and heard her son's cries. He was
found near the house.
The accident victim was carried to
the hospital by his parents, Mr. ami
Mrs. C. H. Ivy and tw„ brothers, [..
C. and P. C. His wife ami seven-day
old baby were unable to accompany
him, however.
Ivy, who suffered a fractured skull,
has a reasonable chance for recovery.
Buying Of Cattle Is
Kesumed This Week
buying of cattle by the government
cattle was resumed here this week
with more than 7000 head already
listed and several hundred more ex-
pected to be on the list within the
next few days. Ray Carlisle, head ol
tine cattle buying division, announce!
this week that plenty of cattle blank?
are available for farmers and cattle
raisers who have not yet signed.
Under a new ruling only 150 cattle
will be shipped from this county dur-
ing any one week. This has nothing
to do, however, with the number that
can be condemned during any one
week.
After the cattle are delivered to th
pens in Aspermont they are turned
over to C. K. Hrannen, local relief
administrator, who has charge of ship-
ping.

liJahon Speaks To
Voters Thursday
Stressing the planks of his platform
calling for immediate payment of the
soldier's bonus, drafting of industry in
time of war, a pension for the aged,
and promising t0 l e the representa-
tive of all the people if clected
George Mahon of Colorado City
brought his campaign for congress to
Stonewall voters in an address here
Thursday.
Mahon, wh0 is district attorney at
Colorado, never mentioned the name
of his opponent in his address. In his
speech he placed special emphasis on
the plank in his platform calling for
•he drafting of industry during a time
of war.
Mahon defended his age, point iu;
out that many of the famous men in
congress had gone there while even
younger than he is at the present
time, 33. He also said that he had as
much experience in politics as his op-
ponent.
The young district attorney spoke
from the back end of a pick-up car, in
front of a local drug store. A loud
speaker was used.
During his speech, Mahon took a
rap at Chas. Guy, lubbock editor, who
has been editorially supporting a Lub-
bock man for he congress post. Mahon
spoke for more than an hour.
Westfall Winding Up
Campaign This Week
County Judge Leonard Westfall is
winding up his runoff campaign for
state representative this week with a
week of campaigning in Dickens coun-
ty. He will return here to receive the
election returns Saturday night.
Westfall spoke to one of the largest
Political crowds ever gathered at Sny-
der last Saturday evening. Most of
li st week was spent in Sctir. y county,
tlie home of West fall's opponent Joe
A Merritt.
Westfall has spent very little time
in Stonewall county, feeling, he said.
(Hat his home county people kne v him
and that they expected h-m to am
paign mostly in counties whe.-1 I". >.
ii'.-t i?o well known. He has ex,or • .1
thanks for the big majority given
him in July in this county and lias
asked his home folks to stay with him
in the run-off.
VOTE
(An Editorial)
It is the duty of every eligible voter in
Stonewall county to cast his ballot Saturday.
Don't neglect yoqr duty.
It is natural that many Stonewall voters
will come to the conclusion that their vote
won't amount to much Saturday. Then be-
cause there are only two offices in the coun-
ty to be decided, many will feel that interest
in the race does not warrant their taking the
time off to vote.
Go to the polls Saturday and vote. In this
day and time man has very few chances to do
as he pleases. The right to vote as he choos-
es is one of the few left. Lack of time is no
excuse because in this year of 1934, time is
about all many of us have.
So vote Saturday. Exercise your right of
the ballot. Have your say in the government.
Remember that you have no right to criticise
the act of any public official if you don't do
your part in indicating as to who is to hold
office.
The STAR urges you to vote. Vote like you
want to, i ollow your conscience, hut above ail
—VOTE.
tiullican Explains
Platform Saturday
Taking time to fully explain his cot-
ton and cattle program of his plat-
form, Judge Chtrn M. Mullican of
Lubbock, candidate for congress,
spoke to a crowd of Stonewall voters
on the streets of Aspermont Saturday
morning. He was introduced by
George Kinley, Jr., one of Mullican's
workers in this locality.
Mullican charged that his opponent
has taken three of his planks in Inn
(Mahon's) platform from his own and
two from another candidate for con-
gress who was eliminated in the first
primary. Never once in the speaking
iiowever, did Muilican call the name
of his opponent, but referred each
time to "my opponent."
Mullican explained that he was a
cotton arid cattle raiser and knew the
problems of the people of this district
tie explained that he was for the i
mediate payment of the Soldier's lion
us, tor ah old age pension and wa
lor a program for helping the farmer
cattleman and small business man.
Mullican luid lunch here and spok
Saturday afternoon to voters in Uul
and Haskeil. Ho spoke from in front
of Bryant-lank store.

To the readers < f the Star
Last week Mr. Formby, tin-
of the Star, made mention of th
that I had been responsible IV
good vote received In Judge M
in the first primary.
I do not know whether he consid-
ered it an advantage to his candidate
was thus
aligned. However since he has opened
the matter for discussion in the race
1 shall reply to him, believing he will
be tair enough to give it publication,
in fact Mr. Formby, from my view-
point, is a very fair young man and
is trying to give us a good paper, and
is doing so. He favors George Mahon
for Congress and that is his priviledgei j
He thinks he believes in George or!
did think so last week. .Mr. Formby.
in fact, ha% been fair with all of us
except himself, but has Mr. Mahon
been tair with him in having hi>. plat-
form circular printed in Dallas ,' I am
sure he does not approve ol the fact ]
that Mr. Mahon, though proclaiming !
himself a friend of ALL the people
ol the district and .ulvcating in arti-
cle 0 of his folder "11A KMOMOU:i
COOPKRATION WITH ALL Till-;
PEOPLE OF THIS DLSTKICT AND
WITH 'I'lll-. NATIONAL ADMINIS-
TRATION" has had some if not all
of his printing done in Dallas, Texas,
tar away froin his district. An exam-
ination of the folder in question will
reveal at the bottom of the last page
the stamp of "Allied Printing Trades
Council Dallas, Texas." This latiel is
hard to read but a careful examina
tion wil show the above.
Why did Mr Mahon have this
printing done out of the district ol
he is a friend of ALL the people in
the district ? There is in his ncigMsir
city of Big Spring a me in lie r or mem
tiers of the Allied Printing Trades,
There is another at Lubbock be des
the scores of newspaper and jnt> of
fu-es in the district who could have
handled the work. The price under
code arrangement is or should bo the
same. Perhaps he meant friendship foi

lish the name of the printer and also
