a campaign slogan He buggests Vote Denwcrauc the Tarm You
Save Mav He Your Own
A Tulia farmer one who has a considiiahlc investment in hi
farm and home came by to say If the Republicans gt n again
Im ruined
In one nearby community a preacher injected politics into his
sermon and three farmer got up and walked out
In another nearby community the church is so split over politics
that the factions sit on opposite sides of the building and are not
speaking
In another church its youth director suggested that all the vouch
put Nixon bumper stickers on their cars Accrrding to one report
one youth in attempting to carry out the suggestion of the church
youth director was told by her father a farmer Like hell you will1
The problem facing farmers and small buiness men of Texas is
not Can 1 afford to vote for a Catholic Preslncnf Rather it is Can
I afford to vote for eight more years of Republicanism If the farm
economy continues to slip during the next eight years at the rate it
has slipped the past eight can I survive If our foreign relations slip
during the next eight years as much as they have deteriorated the past
eight years will it matter much what church the President if we still
have one attends0
COUNTUr SDITOt
MANY TEXAS preachers Sunday were spouting forth wild
WHILE
statements concerning matters of which they are grosslv ignorant
repeating false statements and telling half truths and lies thi
pastor of one of Austins largest Baptist churches the Rev Hlak <
Smith was telling his congregation that Ameica cannot afford the
luxury of a religious controversy in a Presidential campaign
Rev Smith is pastor of the University Iinptin church
He said protestants who believe the elcctirn of a Roman Catholic
President would threaten the separation of church and state may be
mistaken as I believe they are He said lh < s deep concern which the
religious issue has elicited grows out of an exaggerated and misplaced
fear He added that Baptists as well as Catholics place pressure on a
President He said the Catholic church is not as monolithic as some
suppose Many priests and bishops have opeilv declared they believe
in the separation of church and state not as a matter of temporary I
expediency but on principle He added when Senator Kennedy clearly
affirmed his commitment to separation some Catholics high in the line
of command firmly condemned him while others approved and commended
him
C0UNt r iciion
AMERICANS those who underttand the fundamental
INTHLLIGnNT
principles of government and politics know that when they cast
their vote in November they are not voting for i man nor a dictator
They are voting for a team composed of botn Protestants and Catholics
with the Protestants decidedly in the majority When we vote
for a President we are voting for a Cabinet The President we
elect is something like the President of a large corporation At all
times he is under the control of the stockholders who speak through
the board of directors and the chairman of tile board The team we
suppqrt Iwhat counts not the church which the captain attends
To assume that a President has the power tn tamper with major
principles of government with Congress which is the law making body
with the U S Constitution which can only be changed by an affirmative
vote of three fourths of the states is th height of ignorance
Franklin D Roosevelt was one of the strorpest Presidents America
has ever had Yet when he sought to enlarge the Supreme Court
when he attempted to put through the NRA hs superiors called a halt
couNTir ioitoi
TRIMBLE a minister in the ChristHn Church wrote recently
SOUTH
ly in the Lexington Ky Herald
It is a sad commentary on the intelligence of the American
people to say that the paramount question in tms campaign is religion
and there could be no such question in this land if our fello citizens
hearkened to the voices of the departed leaders and patriots Washington
Jefferson Jackson Lincoln Jefferson Davis Alexander Stephens
Theodore Roosevelt Woodrow Wilson and a host of others of every
political party and religious creed whose patriotism statesmanship cannot
be questioned
I am not one of those who believe that the great majority of
good men and women of this counrty who btlev in the incompatibility
of the Roman Catholic faith are Intotoitnt and bigots as they
are usually branded they are only benighted and honestly believe that
the Catholic church and those of that faith art a menace to the
American institution
It would be absurd M say that these objectors to religious equality
ate not sincere in their disl rusts It would be equally absurd to conclude
that they are consciously violating th spirit of the Federal
constitution w their stand that Catholics he Uired from high pomona
at our Governatent on account of their faith If I had heard and read
day in and day out without refutation as millions have the vile
vicious slanderous scurrilous libelous propagandi that has been preach
ad and published by professional itinerant < reentry ssasjtrers and

Tulia Ponders
Canadian Water
Mayor John Hrown of Tulia appeared
before the directors of the
Canadian River Dam authority at
Plainview Monday and said that his
city would like to be included in the
plan wherebv water from the proposed
Canadian River dam would be
used to serve a number of Panhandle
and South Plains communities in
the future
A petition from the Tulia city council
stated they would be wtiling to
pay their prorata cost of money
spent to deate by the member cities
Should one of the present members
drop nut or fall to approve a contract
Tulia could then be included
There Is some chance that one or
two present members on the South
Plains might resign from the organ
nation Slaton and Lamcsa officials
said they would hold off their city
contract elections in order to determine
whether other possible water
sources might be available at lower
rates
An authoritywide election will be
called for Nov 22 at which time voters
in the 11 member cities will be
asked to approve a repayment contract
between the Canadian River
Municipal Water Authority and the
federal government
Of course Tulia citizens would be
given an opportunity to vote on
membership in the authority should
Tulia be granted membership
