Hooper CooK For
Tax Collector.
In the announcement column
will be found the name of Hooper
Cook, who comes before the
voters this week as a candidate
for the office of Tax Collector of
Bell county, subject to the ac-
tion of the democratic primaries
to be held July 25th 1914.
Mr. Cook enters the race after
repeated and earnest solicitation
from a large number of friends
and supporters over the county.
He has been a citizen of the coun-
ty for many years and during
that time he has been engaged in
farming and stock raising and
has made a success. He has at
all times been considered among
our very best citizens and has
invariably made good in every
thing he has undertaken.
In presenting the name of Mr.
Cook as a candidate for this of-
fice we feel that we are intro-
ducing a man who is m every
way worthy of the support
of the people of tne
county, and . who if
elected will make' a most capable
and efficent officer.
Remember Mr. Cook when
selecting your favorite for Tax
Collector.

How big a part do Clothes
play in this "commanding
appearance" business?
Ever stop to analyze that?
The most commanding personal"

not properly attired. That is why
men who command in our-'business, polit-

To The Voters
of Bell County
In announcing myself for the
important office of Sheriff of Bell
county. I do so with the satisfac-
tion xof knowing thit the people
of the county know that I am
well qualified to fill the office
with credit to myself and the
county.
I am making the race, for
Sheriff on my own merits as a
peace officer, and not on the de-
merits of mv opponents, and
should any voter hear; Jme utter
one uncharitable word against
them, I sincerelyjhope that voter
will cast his vote against me.
1 was born in Bell county 43
years age, and have lived in the
county all my life with the ex-
ception of two years, during
which time I filled an appoint-
ment as manager of one at ,the
State convict farms, also as War-
den of the Rusk penitentiary. I
was appointed Constable of pre-
cinct No. 4, vhen I was twenty-
four years old, and was elected to
succeed myself, voluntarily re-
tiring from the office after sery
ing the people in this capacity
three years and four monts.
During the month of November,
1904, I was appointed Deputy
Sheriff under D. C. Burkes, in
which capacity I remained, for
six years, during which time I
was continuously on the job. giv-
ing my entire time and energy
to the faithful performance of
the duties of this appointment
And, if I am elected your Sheriff
I promise to do equally as well,
if not better, than when Deputy
Sheriff.
I believe it is the duty of a
Sheriff to get out and assist his
deputies in doing the work. Also
pelieve a Sheriff Bhould visit all
over the county, mix with the
people and find out if any viola-
tions of the law are going on.
Past experience has taught me
that peoDle are slow about going
out-of-the-way to get to the
Sheriff's office to report viola-
tions of the law, but on the hand
when mingling with them, they
will gladly inform him of
many violations, as well as assist
in bringing the violators to jus-
tice. I am strictly opposed to what
is termed the "six shooter de-
puty." I believe the constable
in each precinct should work in
harmony with the Sheriff. Ob-
servation has also taught me
that the good citizenship is bit-
terly opposed to "six shooter
deputies,,' and rigidly 30. be-
cause they are a menace to good
citizenship, and the improper way
of enforcing the laws. Neither
do I believe in the offering of re-
wards for the capture of crimi-
nals, as I believe, it is the duty
of the Sheriff to hunt down the
violators of the laws, and bring
jthem to justice, without burden-
, ing the citizenship with laws,
! and bring them to justice, with
out burdening the citizenship
with raising large rewards in or-
der to get them.
To those who do not know me
and my qualifications for Sheriff,
I refer them to ihe following:
Ex-Sheriff D. C. Burkes; all the
deputies that worked with me,
