The reported statement that I
have instructed city employes to

Davis Friday. "I don't "want to t
drawn into any controversy but
desire to say that I have griven
city employes no Instructions to

"These are serious times." Judge
Jackson continued 'and not the ordi-
nary times when a man might be re-
warded for 16 years' service in a
minor state office but the time has
come when the people of this district
cannot afford to send to Washington
a 'Sears Roebuck statesman. At this
time when the eyes of the world are
turned appe&llngly on the United
States we of this district should send
a man to Washington who is on
speaking acquaintance at the white
house.
"Most of our public servants are
nrettv well naid for their services."
the speaker concluded with reference
to tne reward zor service argument.

the great American people or this
district who we know is American

r "I have not sought the opportunity I
to run for congress. I am a poor
man without a dollar on earth. In-

my present office proved unfortunate
and by them I was left In a debt I
was unable to nav. Kow. one's home
stead is exempt under the law of
Texas but under the law of God no
man claims exemption and so I and
my wife left our homestead and went
into a rented apartment. I had been
told that if I made this race oppo-
nents would say I had failed to pay
my debts. I ask them to say also
mat in my tour years as customs col-
lector when speculation ran rfTe on
the border. I turned my back to all
private business. If I send my resig-
nation to Washington tonight It will
be with a clear record.
Feels It Tils Duty.
"I'd rather be a private citisen with-
out a dollar or beaten for office than
have the thought that I suffered any
injury to come to tne commission I
held under the greatest president that
ever lived In America.
"The office I hold Is Just as high
and has as much dignity as congress-
man so that no personal preference
could Interfere with my decision.
There is no consideration on which I
would enter this race other than a
sense of duty to our country. Should
1udge Goggin Judge Jackson. R. E.
Thoroason or a man like them make
the race. I would support them.

"Then why not support Mr. Huds-

NE year ago tomorrow the United States
entered the world war and to commemorate
this eventful day and at the same time encourage
people to save Thrift Stamps we are going to give
one 25c stamp FREE with every $5 cash pur-
chase. To pay cash here tomorrow will be a pa-
triotic act as the saving of Thrift Stamps backs
up the men in the trenches.
Our valiant sons and the sons of our allies are now
facing a crisis. The Germans are advancing but
they will be stopped. We at home can help to
stop them. For eoery foot the Germans advance
that many more War Savings Stamps should be
saoed by all of us.
Plan right now to begin saving Thrift Stamps if
you haven't commenced already. They are in-
vestments. You will get your money back with
interest. All patriotic El Pasoans know that they
SHOULD save Thrift Stamps. The time has
come for us to understand that we MUST save
these Stamps.
Germany is watching YOU. The more stamp
books we fill the harder will be our blow against
the "Beast of Berlin."
