Bob Secrest An Inspiration

The biggest news in this congressional district and
big throughout the state, and in the nation
at large, the Of the resignation Congress-
Robert T. Secrest, who is leaving congress to
ter the armed forces of the countrynot some soft
safe place, but his duties will take him with the navy
foreign country. He will likely be aboard a
battleshp airplane carrier either, always in
danger of attack by submarine, airplanes and battle
ships Not only that, but he is giving up $4,000
year political post for naval commission which will
perhaps him third of that 1t will be
recalled that in his speeches since the Pearl Harbor
attack, he has made the statement that he ready
to offer his services for his country.
During his period in congress- this paper did not al
ways agree with the way Mr.. Secrest voted on some
so-called measures which Mr.. felt might
be the means of leading this country into How
believe at that he voted the sentiment of
the majority of the people in his district. His at
times anagonistic to that of the Presidents pol
icy. For the way he voted he has been faued Qarge
ly for political purposes) and in many instances by
persons who took the same view against the chief eX
ecutive. But unlike those who criticised him, when
Secrest this nation attacked he threw everything
aside and freely offered his services In doing he
made good his promise stated publicly that if by his
vote American boys were sent to fight foreign
soil, he would offer his services to go too.
During the 10 years Mr.. Secrest has been in con-
gress he has fame, and has brought about many
notable achievements. But the biggest thing in his
lie TO is ms resignation from congress,
the armed forces and at time when his reelection
virtually assured. (Watch for sniper to
out with the statement that his purpose in re-
signing was because he took it easy way out,
since he could not have been re-elected.)
We have already heard it said that Mr. Secrest's
services in congress badly needed and he should
not have given the post, but he says This
try is bigger than the 18th district and bigger than
Bob Secrest. The danger to the country is grave
that anyone who contribute something to it's de-
Tense in direct way, should do So
The example of Bob Secrest should be inspira-

Off ODaniel has been popular
enough in Texas that he was elected
two times as governor and once as
U. S. senator without runoff. The
campaign just ended was spirited
one and the late DR.. Lee Humphrey
was brought into the picture,
according to an article in Time
magazine, which states The offic-
ial O'Daniel biography says that he
was named after the Souths famed
Robert e. Lee, and goes on to say
that no one had even bothered to
check up on his claim, in his pre-
vious campaign, but in this one
enemies spread the word that he
was really named after DIR Lee

O'Daniel when her distinguished
son was born.
