HUNT COUNTY'S CHOICE

State Senator
THE RlOOORDs
Perkins was elected from McKln-
ney, Collin County, In 1908; West-
11rook was elected from Farniersvlllo,
Collin county in 1912; Wcstbrook af-
terwards moved to Wolfe City, Hunt
County and lie was elected from Hunt
Oounty In 1816, continuing Collin's
choice. Thus Collin County has nam-
ed the State Menu tor eight years out
of twelve, us against Hunt County's
four years.
Sec ret it ry of State Howard In a let-
ter on December ft, 19J.9, says: "Hon.
Kd Wcstbrook was ii resident of Far-
mersvllle, Collin county, when ho was
elected SUite Senator on November 6,
18t2, for the Fifth Senatorial Dis-
trict."
With tho above true facts heforo

verdict at the

August 28th
(Political Advertisement)
The following was published in the
Houston Chronicle under date of July
3ut.h, 1920 from the pen of J. W.
Chancellor of Bowie. Texas.
To Editor of The Chronicle.—"The
same today, yesterday and forever."
Mr. Bailey makes the proud assertion
that lie has nut changed his political
position for thirty years.
He would not forget that he is the
same man who opposed tho Federal
'savings banks. He is tho same man
J who opposed tho parcel post, tho
means by which every farmer In tho
I state could receive Ills mull every day.
I Ho is the man who opposed the child
I labor law, a law which has for its pur-
1 pose, prevention ol' children working
in factories and in mines and such
places, until such times us they wore
reasonably able to so labor. Ho op-
posed the pure food law. The repeal
of this law would bo worth millions
of dollars to tho food speculators,
and as the does not change his posi-
tion, it is reasonable to say that, If
elected governor, he would favor the
rcpoul of this law. He opposed tho fed-
eral reserve banks, the only means
which the common people have crer
enjoyed for keeping interest and rea-
sonably low rates and preventing pan-
ics. He opposed the farm loan bank,
which makes it oaslor for people to
own homes. Ho opposed the selective
draft. Ho opposed tho league of na-
tions, and stands for Lodgo and the
republican administration. Ho has
openly called Woodro\v Wilson a so-
cialist and has opposed everything ho
did, and yet at the same time ho en-
dorses Cox, when Cox and Wilson are
lu harmony.
As he nover changes, lie undoubted-
ly opposes all t'.o above measures at
this date.
Ho is tho man who did not raise a
voice to assist a single soldier during
] tho last mighty struggle. Ho is the
j man who did not make speeches In
'behalf of the Red Cross or any other
helping agoncy during tho last strug-
! Bio.
"labor's Friciul."
He Is the man who tor 21 years
stood in the hulls of Congress, ana
when labor was receiving from 60 to
$1.00 per day for hire, and your cot-
ton was Belling from three to five
cents per pound, and your children
were In rags and tattors, and you were
paying 20 per cent Interest in your
money, and never raised his voice for
yotir success or relief.
Ho Is the man who says he will re-
duce your taxes. Tho state tax rate
last year was 76 cents on the hundred,
this year it is 62 cents, divided as inf.
lows: 20 cents for school, 16 cents for
free text hooks; 6 cents for old sol-
diers (Confederate pensions.) and X2
cents to run the expenses of the state
government and eleemosynary insti-
tutions. Would he cut the school tax?
Would he eliminate free text-books?
Would he eliminate the soldiers' pen-
sions? It' none of these, what would
he do with the 22 conts remaining?
Would he further hamper the blind?
Would ho imprison the insane in our
county Jails? Would he take some-
thing from tho cripple, tho halt and
the .malm? How would he reduce
your taxes and from whom would he
take ol'f.
The average man with three chil-
dren receives infinitely more from tno
state for the education of his children
than he pays in stuio taxes. Then
whom Is Mr. Bailey trying to favor? It
'certainly is not the average man wltn
average means. With the light before
us, who can be for him?
1 am one of those who in the r cent
primary voted for the Honorable It. n-'.
Thomason of El Paso and Gainesville,
and notwithstanding the efforts of the
Bailey escorts to capture the votes of
Thomason, I want to say that in my
opinion 99 per cent of the Thomason
votes will be for Neff, and likewise the
Looney votes.
♦ ♦ ♦
Trying To Spilt The Alllca.
Some of Mr. Bailey's campaigners
are gleefully calling attention to cer-
tain supposed cninpaigu nnpleasancies
between Mr. Neff and Mr. Thomason.
Tills reminds me of the efforts of Von
Hlndenburg and his coterie of German
war lords to divide the strength of
tho allies and secure n separate oeuco.
It Is true that this effort was siccess.
ful and securing the poace with Lenlno
end Trotsky. Tho friends of Neff,
Tl.omason, hoov.oy and Lewelllng
f inied an alliance some months age
to overthrow this "master of democ-
racy." They are tho allies. It may lie
that Bailey crowd can find a Lonrne
or a Trotsky In tho ranks of these al-
lies. If so, wo want them to he tound
at once, scr that, thou* position may bo
clearly understood.
There will be no Achilles, "sulking
In his tent" ns this battle progresses.
There may bo a l.enlno or n Trotsky
now or thon but wo arc going to
carry tho battle of tho allios for ie-
mocracy forward, and the peoplo are
going to write the treaty of peace and
ratify the same on August 28th.
Every Bailey follower and cohort
will bo at polls on August 28th. and If
behooves all tho forces of Democracy
to meet them there, so that our victo-
ry will bo unsullied and unquestioned.
If Mr. Bailey Is elected Governor,
, which he will not bo, that fact would
bo heralded throughout the nation as a
triumph for the Republican forces, as a
repudiation of Texas. Yours for democ-
racy,
J. W. CHANCELLOR.
Bowie, Texas.
TRANSCONTINENTAL
MILITARY CONVOY
OFF TO DALLAS
The Transcontinental Military Con-
voy left McKlnney Friday at 10
o'clock for Dallas. The convoy In
enruuto to Eos Angeles, Calforna
from Washington, D. C. A phone
nuvtsage to Secretary C. W. Smith of
the Business Men's Association wan
received about six o'clock Thursday
evening to the effect that the oonvoy,
which was scheduled to spend the
night In Van Alslyne, would i o in
McKlnney to rcmutn over night, ri'c
first six cars and two motorcycles ar-
rived in McKinney about 7:80 o'clock,
and pitched camp on the court house
lawn, and began preparing supper for
tho members of the convoy. However
some of tho big ten ton trucks became
bogged in the mud a few miles this
side of Van Alstyne and had to re-
main there all night. Supper cooked
in McKinney was carried to the oth-
er members near Van Alstyne. The
trucks which were forced to remain
near Van Alstyne during the night
arrived in McKlnney Friday morning
about 8 o'clock, and the convoy de-
parted for Dallas at 10 o'clock.
The convoy was in command of
Major John H. Franklin.
♦ ♦
Purposes of Trip.
Many people may think that the
trip is being made Just to give a
number of army officers and enlisted
men a Joy ride across the country at
the expense of the government. Such
Is not the case. The purposes of this
convoy from Washington, D. C. to
Eos Angeles as outlined by the chief
of the motor transport corps, United
States army, is as follows:
"The war department's contribu-
tion to tho good roads movement,
comparative service and operation
test of various types of motorized
vehicles, advantages and disadvant-
ages of solid and pnoumatic tires, re-
cruiting for motor transport corps
and army in general and collecting
road data relative to the character
of surface, pavements, drainage, etc."
Various types of motor vehicles re-
tained by the army are Included in
the convoy. Tho character and kind
of cars which go to make up the con-
voy include five Dodge touring cars,
two Cadillac touring cars, two Dodge
light delivery trucks, seven White 1
1-2 ton trucks, three White tank
trucks, two White 1 1-2 ton machine
shop trucks, two White staff observa-
tion cars, eight Garford 1 1-2 ton
trucks, eight Packard 11-2 ton trucks
cargo, four standardized "B" trucks,
cargo, ono G M. C. ambulance, one
kitchen trailer, one Cleveland trailer
and six fnotorcycles. The pilot car
of the convoy Is a Nash sport model.
♦ ♦ ♦
Over Bankhcad Highway.
The itinerary of the Journey Is ov-
er the Bank head highway, the na-
tional road designated by the govern-
ment from the Atlantic to the Pa-
cific, which highway runs through
McKlnney. Total mileage of the tour
Is 3690 and 921 miles are through
Texas. In the party are eighteen of-
ficers and 168 enlisted men. The
convoy when stretched out along a
road with the proper distanco be-
tween vehicles is practically two
miles In length. The convoy left
Washington June 14 and was due in
I>allas August 2. Owing to delays of
various kinds, tho convoy is nine
days behind schedule.
.• moto,-cycle, ridden by one of the
rofpaengers, caugli' on fire Just a few
miles out of Van Alstyne and was
practically destroyed. The rider es-
caped uninjured. Just as the convoy
was heading out of Van Alstyne two
of the big trucks stuck in a mud hole
alongside of the lnterurban tracks. An
intorurbun cur aided In pulling tlio
heavy trucks out of the mire, and the
rest of the convoy detoured around
the soft place. The long line of heav-
ily laden trucks, driven and In charge
of khaki clad lads, created much ex-
citement through this section of the
ciuncry, and many men who served
o erseas were reminded of the many
times they saw heavily loaded truck!
trains traveling the muddy roads of
Franco.

WOLF TELLS OF HIS VISIT
TO BATTLEFIELDS
M. H. Wolfe, of Dallas, returned re-
cently from two months' trip through
Europe.
"During the last week of July, in
company with Dr. George W. Truett,
Dr. J. B. Gambrell, Dr. J. F. Love and
Dr. E. Y. Mulllns, by private auto we
traveled more than 250 miles through
the battlefields of France, and it was
the conviction of all that the scenes
witnessed and the emotions stirred
were easily worth the Journey across
the ocean if there had been no other
reason for going," said Mr. Wolfe.
"Chateau Thierry Is the beautiful
Ifttel city in whose streets our Ameri-
can boys did some of the best hand-to-
hand fighting and drove the Germans
hack across the River Marne. A large
nart of this city was not destroyed.
The explanation given is that our hoys
attacked with such fury that tho Ger-
mans ran and had no time for destruc-
tion, many of them being forced to
switn the rivet to avoid capture.
"One of the most interesting sight*
was Big Bertha, the German gun used|
to shoot seventy-two miles into the
city of Paris. This monster gun, now
dismantled, hut most of the equipment
remaining intact, is located in a dense
thicket to which a sidetrack has been
built from the railroad.
"Another interesting spot is the vil-
lage of Vaux, where our American
boys won their first victory. A large
rock duly marked designates the place.
We picked up a number of exploded
American shells used by our boys.
"Bellenu Wood is a place never to be
forgotten The large woodland Is ut-
terly wrecked, the' trees being praetl-
call reduced to stumps by shot and
shell.
"We visited several of the largo
American cemeteries where lie the
bodies of tho noblest and best the
world ever saw. These cemeteries ar>>
hoRUttl'uJly kept, there being a beautl
ful cross painted white standing at the
head of each grave, with the name and
number and regiment clearly printed
thereon. The sail part about it being
that hundreds of these are marked
"unknown." As we passed along these
lows of graves and read n ime after
name of friends familiar there arose
emotion." 'hat. reached to the depth of
I he soul. All five of us stood around
the grace of one splendid young fellow
whose parents till of us knew and lov-
ed, and with uncovered heads an-1
teav.i strc'tmlng down our faces, new
visions of life's deeper meaning crowd-
ed upon us."

ROTARY CLUB ENTERTAINS
FARM BOY'S
Quito an interesting Rotary lunch-
eon was enjoyed at noon Friday,'
I which was served in the dining hall
'of tho First Christian church. The
ladles of that church served a magnifi-
cent luncheon for the Rotarlans and
I their guests. Among tho guests were
jthe following farm boys, who recently
I attended the Farmers Short Course at
I the Texas A. & M. College. The Mc
Kinney Rotary Club and individual
business men defrayed the expenses
of these boys In order to enable themi
to get the benefits of the special In-
struction and other educational ad-
vantages of the Farmers Short Course
of instructions lasting ubout a week.
Tho boys, who were guests at the Ro-
tary luncheon, were: J. D. Harris,
Marvin Gibson, Benjamin Carter, Irv-
ing Eubanks, Rubert Stoker and For-
est Carter. The boys were introduced
by County Farm Agent G. D. Everett,
who stated that there are from one
hundred and seventy five to two hun-
dred of these boys in Collin county.
Some of these club boys are raising
cattle, others hogs and some prize
acres of corn and other crops. Each
one of the boys present at the lunch-
eon responded with talks, in which
they told of their impressions at the
A. & M. College and on the trips. They
also thanked the Rotary Club for
sending them and for the excellent
dinner given them. There are fifty
thousand members of the Boys Clubs
of Texas. There were four hundred
of them who attended the Farmers
Short Course at the A. & M. College
this year. Other visitors of the day
introduced, were: H. H. Bass, by S.
J. Vaughan; Dr. W. S. Wysong, by J.
iEd Rhea; Will Bush, by P. V. Mulkey;
Mr. Carney, by E. W. Rollow and
Prof. Carl L. Howland, President of
the McKlnney Junior College, by
Walter B. Wilson. Prof. Howland
made a brief talk on the* objects and
aims of the McKinney Junior College.
The school Is to open its doors In Mc-
jKlnney on September 14 with a facul-
ty of fourteen members. Prof. How-
land stated that he wanted to do his
part as a cltlssen of McKinney in pro-
moting every good cause and enter-
prise and appreciated the very friend-
ly spirit that the city had shown to the
college.
As the Texas Power & Light Com-
pany is asking for a slight raise in
commercial lighting rates in McKln-
ney, The Rotary Club decided to dis-
! cuss the merits of the application re-
cently made to the City Commission
for this increase. Facts relating to
the matter will be presented for con-
sideration at next week's luncheon.
The discussion on that occasion is for
educational purposes only, for The
Rotary Club has no powers or prerog-
atives other than advisory In thin or
any other matter of public concern.
But Rotary's object Is service and
the McKinney club is trying to serve
all Interests intelligently which can-
not be done only by study and infor-
mation on problems of civic and muni-
cipal concern. Dr. J. C. Erwin urged
that ull the facts be presented pro and
con so every member might be in-
formed in making up his mind far
against the proposed increase.
