WHY THE ALAMO GUIDE
SUPPORTS GARRETT

Mr.. Editor: | understand that II
this issue of your paper there is tc
appear an editorial copied from the
Alamo Guide endorsing the candida
cy of Mr.. Garrett and expressing the
sentiment upon which he bases his
hopes for reelection. Since this pa
per is published in my native county
of Crockett the reason why you have
been asked to give publicity to it is
apparent. / feel that the public
should know all the facts about it
Just prior to my announcement for
Congress, the Alamo Guide endorsed
me voluntarily and with enthusiasm
When l announced, offered to it the
publication of my platform at the
customary rates charged by the week
ly newspapers in the district. Instead
of publishing it as the other papers
did, the editor wrote me letter in
which, among other things, he said:
1--WE want you to succeed, and we
expect to do our part to make sue
cess possible. We have only pub
Iicity to sell, the same as you have
legal knowledge. We are not seek
ing to PANHANDLE you, but if you
think we can do you 100000 worth
of good in Crockett County with our
papers between now and August, we
will be pleased to hear form you. We
have a combined, circulation Of 1000.
We stand ready to act as your pub
licity managers for Crockett County.
Please excuse for apparent audacity.
Kindly favor us with reply at your
earliest convenience"
would be glad if the editor would
publish our whole correspondence.
have it and will furnish it to him if
he wants to publish it.
l declined the offer, and thereafter
did not use any space in the paper
1t soon suspended publication, but
it has recently begun to be published
again. These PANHANDLE" tao
tics may be all right in the North
where the editor recently came from,
but it does not meet with my appro-
val 1 do not want to buy the sup
port of any newspaper, and if have
to buy seat in Congress 1 do not
want it. Do you think that political
conditions need purifying very bad
ly?
Mr.. Garrett was in Alamo just be-
fore this editorial appeared. l don't
know why it appeared, but do know
that its effect in Crockett County may
be measured by ones ability to insert
his finger in pan of water and then
take it out and find the hole.
