Again it lias bee'll demonstrated
that Washita Democracy wants no
farmers in Legislature. Tom Mason
one of tlie prominent farmers of
Washita County wus a candidate
for Representative hut he did not
get it because there was a young
lawyer tfho is jifct out of school
wanted the position to boost him
publically, hence the farmer was
sent away back to nit down. Mr.
Mason Is a Catholic belonging to
the Slieldal church arid til IS to aid-
