From
comes another letter from
J B Warren In which he contends
that automobiles In his
city of 20000 persons arc allowed
Ml to turn around right In the middle
fl of the block And he even goes
so far as to have six of his friends
sign n statement to that effect
before a notary Heres the
statement We the undersigned
do swear that wo ourselves
turn in the middle of the streets
ot Athens Georgia when we seen
parking place on the other side
of the street This is n common
occurrence on our downtown
streets We have never had nn
accident doing this and we have
seen very few accidents on our
streets Most of our anccidenlr
are caused by outsiders who
dont know very much aboutl

sed a week She is now Mrs
John Orr n senior in Tulia high
school For tho benefit of her
many friends we are carrying
a story this week on Miss Hul
scyMr Warren your statement
Illustrative
concerning ODaniel is v
of the effect of propaganda This
man has NOT carried the state
rT iTrp in all his cam I
by LANDSLIDES
paigns He did get 51 per cent of
the votes in his first race for
governor and 543 per cent for
reelection in 1040 But in the
special election for the Senate in
1941 hc was elected by only
1095 voles over Lyndon Johnson
in 1942 he was
17 A In the campaign
and del
forced into a runoff
l < w rented Jimmie Allied by only
10000 votes A chango of 3ti
votes in each Texas county would
have defeated him In other
words instead of there being a
landslide vote the last two
times ho has just barely made
it
It Is true thnt ODaniel came
to Texas from tho North In
fact the first time lie ran for
governor ho wasnt eligible to
voto inasmuch ns hc hadnt paid
his pqll tax Although he has i
Republican background that party
doesnt claim him
Tho psychology with which he
mustered tho voto of n great
many pcoplo Is interesting ami
has been the subject of scvcrnlj
books It is tho opinion of many
that tho secret of his success is
n play upon religion and the
finest emotions of tho heart for
Thus hc has
polltical purposes
I Mtlcd himself to many fine people
ot tho lowincome group while
at tho samo time his public
Tecord is most pleasing to the
rich He is n master at making
himself a martyr For instance
