STRONG ENDORSEMENT BY TABOR
Former State Health Officer Declares
Williams Qualified Tor Governor.

Dallas, Texas, July 24.-The fol-
lowing endorsement of Democratic
Bob Williams for governor Is from
Doctor Geo. r. Tabor, formerly state
health officer, now practicing medi-
cine here. DR.. Tabor speaks from
personal knowledge, having thor
oughly sounded Mr. Williams:
To the Democratic Voters of Texas:
Upon urgent. request of some of
my friends in different parts of Tex
as, l, in company with a citizen of
Harris county, visited Mr. r. R. Will
liams of Cumby, democratic candi-
date for governor of this great state,
for the purpose of satisfying oursel-
yes and reporting to them as to
whether or not he possesses the nee
essary qualifications to make a gov
ernor
| shall not bemean, belittle or de-
nounce any man who differs with me
in my estimation of Mr.. Williams,
and who has seen him through differ
ent glasses and held other views re-
garding the man from mine
take pleasure in stating that
believe he will make good, honest,
capable, fearless, satisfactory COVER
nor if elected. | had quite a lengthy
conversation with him, and in all sin
cerity | say that l am sure his judg-
ment will be sound and deliberate
upon all questions of state which
might confront him, and upon tax
and financial matters his brain capa-
city and judgment will certainly sur
pass the average man. He is not.
man who will run off after a tangent
nor go rainbow chasing, but will de-
vote his every energy in an honest
effort to upbuild the state and relieve
the people of unjust taxation and OBJ
noxious laws. He Is man of the peo-
pie. He has had legislative experience
and was not accused of being lack
ing in Intelligence until he became
for governor. Nor was he
accused of being ugly" in appear
ance until it was shown that the op-
position could prefer no other char
ges against him that were true, ex-
cept that he also wore plain clothes. !
With reference to the caricature pic
lures of him which have been dis
tributed throughout the state, l i
would call your attention to cartoons
Of William ]. Bryan, which have
been published in Puck, Judge and
other periodicals making him appear
hideous and grotesque, but at the
same time we all can recognize the
resemblance to Mr.. Bryan without
the cartoon being tagged l do not
mean to compare Mr.. Williams ap-
pearance with Mr.. Bryan, for the
former lays no claims to good
looks, nor is he 'dressy'' man, |
but in appearance he is plain, both !
in feature and wearing apparel, but |
though his features and clothes are
plain, they are both clean and hon |
1rable and | will warrant you that
ne has a clean, honest heart and has |
he brains of a man and a soul with
out blemish. He is not enfeebled
with age, but is vigorous and as
strong as man of his small stature
could well be. He tells me he never
more than 1875 pounds. His
step is sprightly and his eyes are
keen. His voice is even and his words
He is deliberate in all he
says and does. He has no abuse or
unkind words for those who malign
him. He is not of that mold, and
says If l am elected governor, l do
not want it said that l secured it by
abusing Others"
Mr.. Williams is no statesman, he
has no polished education observed
him make grammatical errors occas-
ionally, but not the terrible blunders
he has been accused of. | have en-
gagged In conversation with promin-
ent successful business and profess.
sional men of Dallas, who made |
grammatical errors.
In closing | want to say that II
he is elected there will be only "one !
governor" and that will be r. R.
Williams, and he will not be afraid
to do what he thinks in his heart to
