HODGE BACKED
BY ATTORNEYS
Fellow-Lawyers Recognize His
Worth and Will Work for
His Election as County
Attorney.

Recognized by the bar, court, jury
and citizenship as a strong, vigorous,
competent, criminal lawyer, with sew
eral years experience and without
single act on his part that would place
him with any element other than the
law abiding element, there can be no
question as to who should be and who
will be the next county attorney, ac-
oording TO friends of John l.. Hodge,
candidate for this office.
1T would prove disastrous to Carter
county TO elect man who is not able
either from experience, ability or 9th
erwise to bring criminals TO justice,
his friends state, and it would be dis
astrous to elect man who cannot
judge meritorious case from one which
is not meritorious. II would cause the
county hundreds and thousands of dol
lars of unnecessary expense, without
results TO elect an incompetent man.
John L. Hodge has proven his capa.
bility. He has proven his superiority.
He has been the assistant county at
torney under Russell Brown, and under
James Mathers. Prior to coming to
Carter county he was prosecuting at
torney for four years. He has actual
experience in the execution of duties
which come under Ile supervision Of
county attorney and he is conceded as
being one Of the strongest prosecutors
in the entire southwest.
Garter county is well on it's way TO
general cleanup and vigorous prose.
cution OF those who dare to violate the
laws is absolutely necessary. Never
before in the history of Carter county
has there been needed a stronger, bet
ter qualified, more honest and efficient
county attorney than at present John
l.. Hodge meets all the requirements.
THE thing to do is to elect man
who knows his business and who can
bring justice to all Let us. all con-
sder the qualifications of those seek.
ing election. Do this and you will vote
for John l.. Hodge"

MAN IN TEXAS
INDORSES ZANEIS
Candidates Campaign Has
Attracted Attention of
Traveller Who Visited
Here and Met Her.

Endorsement of the candidacy of Mrs.
Kate Gait Zaneis for county superin-
tendent. is given by c. l.. Greer Of Hous-
ton, Texas, who happened TO be in the
county several weeks ago and heard
her speak. Following Is the letter:
Il have read with much apprecia-
tion Mrs. NJ. j. Nolan's tribute to Mrs.
Kate Gait Zaneis in the Ardmoreite of
23rd inst. and from coming in con-
tact with Mrs. Zaneis and hearing her
speak one time, / had formed conclu-
sioDs very similar to those brought
out in Mrs. Nolans sketch.
II was visiting in Woodford, okla,
In July 1920, and dropped into the Meth
odist church one night to hear the
various candidates present their claims
to support, and Mrs. Zaneis was one
of the speakers. When she arose to
speak it was plainly evident that she
was no ordinary woman, and as she
launched into her address 1t was easy
to see that she was master of her sub
ject, and the superior of the two op-
ponents whom she had to fight. And
she also proved herself a campaigner
of no mean ability. Although only q
visitor 10 your state, felt impelled
to rise and indorse her for the place
she was seeking, but l didn't do so.
Later. l had the pleasure Of q few
minutes conversation with her in her
office in Ardmore. and my impression
Of her as woman Of ability-already
formed-was heightened. Before being
admitted TO her private office. had 10

judgment and much force. Dynamic

tanning all the attributes Of gracious
woman. Tor two years have watched
the course Of her work as outlined in
the Ardmoreite, and l believe that she
has lived up TO the campaign promises
she made. Twenty odd years ago

Because of the unusual conditions
