No. 46
Everybody Vote
Saturday; Let's Have
New Record Established
C
Saturday is election day, rather
the first democratic primary.
Owing to there not being a re
publican lccal primary everyone
will probably enter the Demo-
cratic primary and establish a
record primary vote. The issues
are important that each candi
date for Governor stands for.
Local officials have opposition for
a number of offices, these are
likewise important. We must
elect the man best qualified to
give the people an efficient ad-
ministration of the office that is
sought.
The Sticker has no axe to
grind anywhere, the people
should be sufficiently well posted
after the hot campaign being
waged to know who they desire
to vote for. Bvery man and
woman pays $1.75 for the right
to vote for whom they please, go
to it, and may the best man win.
This section will go strong for
"Ma'', no more than right, this
section is a Catholic community,
the paramount issue two years
ago was to rid Texas of the Ku
Klux Klan, she did this to the
satisfaction of all anti klan
'voters. On this issue we under-
stand she is again receiving sup-
post* The Sticker is taking no
particular interest in any candi*
date locally, but requests if you
have not made up your mind and
it makes no difference who you
vote for, for Governor. We are
for Lynch Davidson and would
appreciate a few votes for him.
We supported him two years ago
• in the first primary with "Ma"
second choice, and supported
"Ma'* in the run-off. We are do-
ing the same thing this time.
Let's all vote, bring the wives
and children who are qualified,
and vote for who ever you pleasp
Let's not get hot headed and fall
out with our friends, its poor
judgement, i Each can vote for
whom he pleases. Mo doubt but
every candidate is qualified and
would make a good official if
elected. But by all means vote,
do your duty, don't be a slacker,
Let's go, let your conscience be
your guide.
The Russek No. 1 was down to
a depth of 510 feet, a gas pocket
was struck a depth of 365
feet. The well has been order-
ed closed down until further
notice owing to the death of the
t* driller and itjury to the field
manager.
Mrs R. F. Kusey is spending
the week with relatives and
friends at Waxahachie.
Mrs. L. O. Walter
The many friends of Mrs. L
O. Walter were shocked to learn
of hir denth in Color?do Springs,
Colo., last Saturday.
Dsceasee will be remembered
here as Bessie Schaefer which
washer name befoie her mar-
riage. She was born 'in Schu-
lenburg, attended school, and
grew to womanhood in this city.
The body was shipped to La
Grange where it was laid to its
final resting placeJTuesday after-
noon at 4 o'clck. The Lutheran
minister of that city officiating.
She was a daughter of the
union of Fritz Schaefer and Lena
Oltmann. After the death ol
her parents she lived with Mr.
and Mrs. John Mahler.
She contracted the fatal
malady which caused her death
some 7 years ago. Her husband
holds a responsible position with
a big packing house in ElPaso.
She is survived by only one
brother, this being the only re-
maining member of her family
other than uncles and aunts.
To this brother, Roy, and her
husband the Sticker in common
with their many other friends
extends its sincere sypathy.
To The Voters
Of Fayette County
The Primary election will be
held on July 24th. I am a candi
date for re-nomination to the
office of County Judge. I am now
serving my first term as your
County Judge. I have been
prompt in all my work. I have

money was properly spent. Id
all cases that were tried I did
the best I could that the plain-
tiff and defendent got justice.
On account of my duties as
County Judge I could not make
an active campaign. It was my
duty to first attend to my work

wish I could have seen all of the
voters in the county. I feel that
I can better service you in the
future than I have in* the past
year and half,I then ask for your

Judge Lueders Makes Statement
To The Voters Of Fayette County:
My opponent the Hon. John P.
Eblinger is trying to again put
the klan issue into the race and
avoid the real issues concerned.
I made myself clear two years
ago as to how I stood on the klan
issue. I told you that I had
never been a member of a klan
and still state that that is true.
I told you two years ago that
when the K'.u Klux Klan was be-
ing organized that I thought
that it looked as if it were a good
thing as any true Texan would
think. At that time the negroes
that were in the army had just
returned from France and they
thought that they had a right to
have a white girl as they had in
France. They had trouble in
our sister city of Schulenburg
with the negroes ana asked for
help which I can verify by the
Commander of the Troop of the
National Guard at that time.
The Klan stood for White Supre-
macy and for the Purity oi
Womenhood. That later I saw
that the klan was not what it
should be and that I then and
there stared to fight the klaD
and still do. I belonged to the
following organizations Knights
of Pythians, Modern Order oi
Praetorians, S. P. J. S. T. and
American Legion. I still belong
to the same organizations and ni
other ones of any nature what so
ever.
Two years ago I told you how
I stood on the klan issue and
went all over the county making
speeches against the klan ano
asking you to come out to the
Democratic Primary and vote to
defeat the Klan in Texas
WHERE AND WHAT WAS
MY OPPONENT DOING? He
told you that the Democratic
Party was too rotton and said
that it was so rotten that it
*tank and that is why he had
quit the Democratic Party. He
told you not to go to the Demo-
cratic Primary. I begged you
to come out to the Democratic
Primary and told you that that
was the only way to defeat the
Klan in Texas. To come out and
vote for "M " Ferguson and de-
feat the Klan in Texas. My op-
ponent was asking you to sup-
port the Republican Ticket and
uot go to the Democratic Primary
WHO WAS HE SUPPORTING
FOR GOVERNOR TWO YEARS
AGO? WHAT DID HE DO TO
DEFEAT THE KLAN IN
TEXAS?
My opponent has some kind of
carbon copy of what he says is
some klan report that there is no
certificate showing that it is a
correct report. Why any body
can make up a report like that
without getting a certificate to
it. Why does he not get a certifi-
cate showing that it is a true and
correct report. I am glad that
the Legislature passed the Anti
Mask Bill but lam sorry that
they not go a little further and
make all organizations tile a copy
of the list of members with th«
iounty clerk of each county. For
in that case you could find who
was a member and who is now a
member, and you would not find
my name on that list.
I am certain that you all re-
member the race for state sena-
tor two years ago. They tried
to pull the same kind of rotten
stuff in the last week of the race
for senator and also published
something about a man being a
member of the klan and that the
klan was supporting him. Novc
they are trying to pull the same
kind of stuff the last week in my
campaign. It is strange what
stuff they try to pull and I warL
you not to pay any attention to
this kind of stuff and it is ni
telling what else they may try
and pull.
I have made myself clear on
this issue and hope that you
good people will not be mislead
by prejudice but will go to the
election on next Saturday and
vote for the real issues. If you
think that I made you a good
County Judge in last year and
half I then ask for your vote and
support. \
Thanking you in advance for
your vote and support.
Iam respectfully yours,
Theo. W. Lueders.
To The Voters j
Of Fayette County
As my opponent has seen fit to
rush into print with the state-
ment cf my 1924 settlement in
Oad light, I desire to state as
follows in order to correct the
assertions made by him.
While the Commissioners
Court ordered me to turn over
$374.00 to the County as excess
fees of office, the law says that
an officer is entitled to retain
25 per cent or 1-4 of any excess
fees found to be due the County
in the annual reDort. 1-4 of
$374.00 is $93.50 which was sub-
tracted from $374.00 left a bal-
ance of $280.50, which was turn-
ed over to the County as shown
by the records.
My opponent being an Attor-
nay at Law, should have known
the law in this matter.
The records of the Comptrol-
lers office at Austin and the
Auditors office in LaGrange will
show that I have paid over all
money to the State and County
and I have receipts in full cover-
ing all these items.
Respectfully submitted to the
voters of Fayette County.
Edwin E. Scheel.
H. C. 0"e and family and
mother, Mrs. Fritz Oile return-
ed from a visit with relatives in
San Antonio, Seguin and Gon-
zales.

The Last Call to the Voters
In Commissioner Precinct No. 4:
Ladies and Gentlemen, this is
my last appeal to you, as I stat
ed in this newspaper when I an-
nounced for commissioner, that
1 would like to get another term
as commissioner in this precinct,
and that there never was anoth-
er commissioner in this precinct
before, that had to face such un-
popular issues while in office as
I had to, the most unpleasant
was the tick dipping law, which
came up while I was Commis-
sioner; and another thing while
I was in office there was only
$7500.00 per year to maintain so
many bridges and roads, now
the comlinissioners gets about
$12,000.00 in the road and bridge
fund per year. If elected I will
give the people good service in
this office, every dollar that will
be sDent, the roads will get a
dollars worth of work, I will do
everything in my power to guar-
antee the people satisfaction,'will
devote all my time to the job and
will work like any other hand
when building bridges or any
other road work like I did when
I was in office four years ago.
Dear voters, give meyour sup-
port and help on July 24th. and
I will thank you forever.
J. M. Bartos.

C. H. Moody, Driller
Russek No. I, Killed
On last Saturday night at 8
o'clock a Ford car driven by W.
G.Page who had C. H. Moody as
his passenger, going from here
to Houston, had a fatal accident.
The car in some manner struck
a concrete culvert on the road
between SugarLand and Rosen-
berg turning over and pining
Mr. Moody under the car. Help
soon arrived and lifted the car
from his body. He was rushed
to the hospital at Rosenberg
where he lived until 1 o'clock
that.night.
A telephone message was re-
ceived here shortly after the ac
cident, Henry Russek and Mrs.
Moody rushed to the scene of the
accident and arrived there a few
minutes before he died. A num-
ber of rumors have been heard of
how the accident happened, but
the most plausable story is, that
a car with a very powerful head-
light was coming toward them
which blinded Mr. Page so that
be did not see that he was' strik-
ing a culvert.
This tragedy is most deplor-
able, it is the third death since
this well started a few weeks
ago. It seems that destiny
means to put a terrible price
upon this test well. Whether it
is the price of Oil in human flesh
or just the workings of Him,
whose mysteries we do not un-
derstand, we can not know. It
is likewise the second husband
that Mrs. Moody has been called
upon to give up in an accidental
and violent death. Her first
husband was killed on an oil well.
She was not knowri to many of
our people personally, but every-
one knew her when she was in
iown driving a Dodge roadster
and had a little baby 9 months
old with her.
Mr. Page, the promoter of the
Russek No. 1 here, who was
driving the car was very oadly
bruised, but had no bones
broken, he is in a highly nervous
condition owing to the accident.
L'he Doctors ha fe been working
on him to calm him.
Mr. Moody had his ribs crush-
ed in puncturing his lungs, he
was also hurt in the back and
other places.
The car was fixed up and is
now in the Ford garage here in
Schulenburg.
Mr. Moody was highly regard-
ed here oy everyone who knew
him, he was a firsti class driller
having a recsrd of bringing in 3
wild cat wells out of four tests
chat he drilled in the wild cat
territory.
The body of Mr. Moody was
