Letter To The Editor
Dear Editor
Just recently, an article that
appeared in this newspaper on
Sept. 29 was brought to my
attention.
This was in reference to the
Historical Society Notes written by
Mr. George Edgerton.
1 don't claim to be a historian,
but having lived all through my
childhood, the injustices caused by
such political factions gives me the
authority to speak up for the first
time.
I am talking about one particular
paragraph that was quoted from a
newspaper of 1938, which reads as
follows: "The La Grulla officers
returned to La Grulla and advised
J.M. Longoria, who reportedly
cal'ed the sheriff to pick up three
of his bandits at the brickyard."
This quotation prompted my
response to set the record right on
behalf of my father, who was
called a bandit.
How can anyone write such a
quotation without implicating
himself as a conspirator? Out of
the horse's mouth the truth will
come. That reminds me of another
Spanish saying, "No solo el que
mata es criminal, sino el que le
estira la pata."
Many reliable sources that knew
my father well claim that he was a
good, honest, and kind person who

TWO THINGS TEXANS
DON'T LIKE ARE BAD
HIGHWAYS AND
BROKEN PROMISES.
The money we send to Washington every time we fill up our cars comes back
to Texas. The government promises that this money will be spent to build, repair
and maintain our highways.
Diverting those Federal Highway Trust dollars to some other purpose could
devastate our highway system for years to come.
• It would halt vital road construction;
• Cancel needed safety improvement;
• End repairs to roads and bridges.
Texans can stop this threat by voting for Proposition One which makes certain
that highway dollars are spent on highways. Let's keep the promise to Texans.
On Election Day look at the bottom of vour ballot and find Proposition One,
the Highway Amendment. Proposition One continues the Texas plan for good
jobs, economic growth and safe roads without raising taxes and most impor-
tantly . . . keeps your family safe.
A lot is riding on the promise of good Texas
roads.
Keep highway money for highways and the jobs
thev create. Proposition One is endorsed by the
Texas Highway Commissioners, local and state-
wide officials of both political parties, and hun-
dreds of civic groups because thev know that build-
ing good roads keeps Texas moving.

Keep Texas Moving.

became involved in politics
because he saw wrong and tried to
help to correct it.
To anyone who considered him a
menace by interfering in their dirty
politics, he would be labeled a
bandit.
Just for the sake of history and to
state a fact, my father never killed
anyone in the short 33 years of his
life. He has been discredited,
defamed, and even massacred,
merely because of his political
views.
Criminals are those who
murdered him in cold blood in such
a cowardly manner. In trying to
justify their hideous act, they
called him a bandit.
To my distaste, these criminals
became respectable citizens of our
community. At the expense of
somebody else's blood and grief,
they prospered and became power-
ful with political clout.
Is this justice? Maybe, to some
people. I know better. What about
their victims? There's just one
hope to them. True justice comes
from God, who gave his com-
mandment, "Thou Shalt Not Kill-
No Mataras."
Will it be possible for any
historian that this letter (written
from the viewpoint of a victim) be
acknowledged as the "other side of
the story", and be placed ; '.ong
J.M.L.'s newspapers? This would
do true justice to my father, which
has been way too overdue. "He
Dicho."
