Mr.. Anderson needs no Introduction

questionably not only one of the best
known, but one of the most popular
men that ever held public office in
"The Lone Star state. After serving
as deputy sheriff of Harris county for
twelve years Mr.. Anderson was elect.
ed chief of police of the city of Hous-
ton. He had occupied this office only
a short time when the sheriff Of Har-
ris county died. Mr.. Andersons
friends then persuaded him to make
the race for the uneXpired term Of
sheriff to which he was easily elect
ed. He was honored with reelection
seven different times and served the
people in this important office for
fifteen consecutive years. Four years
ago Mr.. Anderson declined reelection
and retired to private life. He cast
his lot among the people OF Houston
