He is comparatively a young man, and yet he is generally considered as one of the ablest and greatest judges that lias ever adorned the Supreme Bench. Even those opposed to him have been unable to give any plausible reason why the people of Texas should lose his services. His fitness and qualifications have not been questioned.

Because of his faithful work on the court, his high character and splendid ability he is entitled to be re-elected. TRAVIS COUNTY NELSON PHILLIPS EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE. (Political Advertisement) To our Friends in the City of Austin We wish to ask you to vote for Prof. Z. D.

Jones for County Superintendent, because we know him to possess those qualifications to a rare degree that fit him for this office. Endowed by nature, trained by experience and urged by the laudable ambition to serve all the schools of Travis County with the same zeal and efficiency that he had superintended the Manor Public Schools for the past five years, he is, in our opinion, the one to whom the citizenship can safely trust this important office. "We know him to be efficient, energetic, experienced and faithful. THIS EVENING Rev. R.

P. Shuler will address a submission rally tonight at 8:30 at the Upper East Avenue Park. The meeting has been well advertised and is expected to draw a large crowd. Mr. Shuler has issued a challenge to Governor, T.

H. McGregor and other antis to meet him on the rostrum, and it was reported early Friday afternoon that Mr. McGregor had accepted the challenge. This could not, however, bo confirmed. Time Extended for Naval Training J.

B. Evans, navy recruiting officer stationed here, is advised that the time for enrolling for the civilian naval cruise has been extended from July 15 to Aug. 1, or until 2000 men have enrolled. It is therefore possible for persons desiring to take the cruise, but who neglected to sign up, to get in on this outing yet. The total number enrolled up to July 14 was 1519.

Only one had enrolled from Austin, though Mr. Evans knows two other Austin boys who are expected to enroll from other points. San Antonio has a- list of nlne Austln man jfJ Raffe Em erson, engineer for the State Railroad Commission. The Texas recruits will go to Charleston, S. to take ship.

Eight different battleships will take on a contingent and give them a working out in naval training. For the week just past, Dallas led the whole United States in number of recruits for the regular service, with twenty-five men, and Houston tied with Pittsburg for third place, with thirteen. The total for the wek was 317. Enlistments are running fifty to seventy-five a week more than they did four months ago, Mr. Evans said.

Dodd Brothers Are Brough Here The case against Lewis and Herbert Dodd, charged with robbery of the Marble Fall3 bank, having been transferred to the Criminal District Court from Burnet, the two men were brought to Austin and now are lodged in the Travis County jail. Lewis Dodd was convicted and given ninety-nine years In prison for th emurder of Robert Helnatz, bookkeeper of the bank which was robbed. The Dodd brothers were held here before being sent to Burnet for trial. They probably will be tr-led for the bank robbery at the fall term of the Criminal District Court.

VOTE A. J. HARPER Candidate for Re-Election COURT OF; CRIfilNnL APPEALS SECOND TERM (Political Advertisement)' In a recent Issue of the Dallas News the following appeared: "The statistics accomplished by the Court tf Criminal Appeals during the lerm Just ended are altogether a. tribute to the Industry and wisdom with which it labored. 'As evidence of the Industry, for instance, It Is shown that the total of the cases pending at the beginning and those filed during the term was 604, and that all but 23 were disposed of.

Of these, 11 had not been submitted, so that the total charge against the court on this score is 12 cases. More interesting and gratifying, too, are the statistics showing the disposition made of these cases. Of the felony cases, 221 were affirmed and only 60 reversed and remanded. It would be Interesting to delve Into the statistical record for the last five' or six We believe It would show a steady decline In the triumph of technicalities. At all events, the reversal of only 60 out of 2S4 felony cases makes a reasonable score for the technical pleader." In bringing about this desirable result Judge Harper had much to do during his first term he has written 47 per cent of the opinions of the court.

In'a recent issue of the News was a certificate of Mr. Smith, Clerk of the Court, showing that Judge Harper has written nearly as many opinions as both of the other members, in one year handing down himself over 800 opinions. The expression In the News article, "It would be interesting to delve into the statistical record for the last five or six years. We believe it would show a steady decline in the triumph of technicalities," aptly expresses the-truth and this fact has given Judge Harper the opposition of a number of lawyers who practice criminal law, and who are very actively endeavoring to create the impression that a great majority of the lawyers are opposed to Judge Harper's la addition to the unanimous endorsement of his home bar, he has been endorsed by the members of the bar in the counties of his old (Senatorial District, and of many other counties in Texas, among the lawyers supporting him being such men as: 33 a FOR T.

Adkins was led to his observation by something which happened the other day, at his expense. The thief who entered a house bolong-ing to. him at 405 West Thirty-seventh Street was not mere hit or miss man who took things because they fell in his way, but he knew what he wanted and took it. Shades for all of the windows had been sent out and hung only a few days before. There were six of a certain size, two in each of three rooms, and others of- different sizes.

When the owner went out to see the house Ihursday afternoon he discovered that five of the six shades of a size had been taken; the sixth one was in its place, and all those of other sizes were in their places. ed nad been opened but was left unlocked.

TOMORROW That Guide Ballot Surprises Phillips Concerning the so-called guide ballot which has attracted so much attention, Chief Justice Nelson Phillips of the Supreme Court issued the following statement: "My attention has been called to a so-called guide ballot sent out from Austin and distributed throughout North Texas. My name appears on this ballot, and I therefore make this statement "Until this ballot was shown to me I had no knowledge of it, or connection with it.

It was not sent out with my knowledge or authority. I am asking for re-election solely upon by record as a member of the court." Calloway's Remarks May Be Expunged WASHINGTON, July 21. Without d'ssent, the House today, on motlo.i of Representative Rogers, ordered investigation of language used by Representative Callaway of Texas, which Representative Gardner of Massachusetts contended was an insinuation of ulterior motives in his agitation for military preparations. Mr. Callaway is in Texas campaigning for re-election, but his colleague, Representative Gardner, said he had no objection to the investigation.

Mr. Gardner wants Mr. Callaway's remarks expunged from the record.
