He believes that the smallest unit inja democracy is the home and adw catcs that a system of home owner--ship for Texas should be made a policy of government In this state. New Solon Is Farmer Dan Dove Comes From Country Dan Dove of Mexia is serving his first term in the Texas legislature. He was elected to the house by the people of Limestone county in the regular elections of 1940. He is the son of J.

A. and Minnie L. Dove, also of Limestone county. His. father is a farmer, and in this instance the old saying "like father, like son" is true.

Dan, who was born in the county which he now represents, is also a farmer who lives close to the soil and whose sympathies are with the plain people. His birth date was April 12, 1902. In his 38th year he comes to Austin to do business for his people and for the state of Texas under the big dome. He and Mrs. Dove are extended a cordial welcome to the friendly city, Austin.

Interests Broad Rep. Dove, a colorful figure, Is proud of the fact that his home is in the country. His post office address is on the Nigger Creek route of Mexia. His immediate predecessor in the office was Ross Hardin of Prairie Hill, one of the Hardin twins, who served three terms before retiring from the office to make the race for railroad commissioner of Texas. Rep.

Dove received his education in the public schools of his home community and in Westminster college, Tehuacanna. He spent two years in that fine old institution which was one of the early higher institutions of learning in Texas and from which many of the great figures in Texas political and educational life have come. He is a member of the Baptist church. His interests are broad and varied, and he enters upon his legislative labors, not as a professional politician, but as one conversant with the needs of his state and sympathetic with the humanitarian reforms that have characterized the new deal. Pension Supporter Dan Dove wps elected by the democrats of Ldhestone county on SEN.

GEO. MOFFETT is the fact that he was the author of a very important amendment to the state constitution which changed the basis of apportionment of representatives. This basic amendment was adopted at the polls in 1936. "Cotton George" also was the author of the measure providing a cotton research laboratory, and of a similiar measure offering a $10,000 bonus for increasing cotton consumption as much as 300,000 bales annually. Committee assignments in the 46th included: Chairman of both the committee on livestock and the committee on constitutional amendments (chairmanship of two committees in the same session is unusual); and membership on the committee on agriculture, finance, inter-state cooperation, military affairs, mining, irrigation and drainage, penitentiaries, public lands and land office, and nominations of the governor.

Texas is truly a better place in which to live by virtue of the life and public service of Sen. George Moffett. His welcome back to duty in the 47th is most sincere, as lovers of clean government like that which the great Jim Hogg espoused, see in Sen. Moffett a statesman who grows taller with added district take pleasure in mtroduc-J mg him again to service in the friendly city of Austin, which he and Mrs. Aikin have come to re-1 gard as their second home.

At! home they overlook no opportunity to say a good word for their state capital and when in Austin they never lose a chance to show their loyalty for the old seventh district which he feels honored in representing. He was born in Red River county Oct. 9. 1905. His parents were Mr.

and Mrs. A. M. Aikin, Sr. He received his literary education in the public schools of his home community and in Paris Junior college.

His law degree he received at Cumberland university, which has sent out to every section of Texas -and to many states many of the most eminent attorneys of the country. In Prime Of Life In 1929 he was married to Miss Wclma Morpheus. A democrat, a Mason, a Rotanan and an active member in the Paris Chamber of Commerce, and connected with many others of the worthwhile organizations of his home. Son. Aikin has taken much pleasure in public affairs.

In the very prime of young manhood he is known to his people and his fellow members as over on the alert and on the job to make good in his endeavor to serve Texas in a way that will always be a source of pride to those back home who sent him to Austin, lllf 111 Jlilllllf IllSIIIItllflllllllllllllMIIIllllf illliMIIIIlIIIlIISflllliiUfiirJS Began Career Early Solon Was Leader On of Campus Allan Shivers was born at Wood-ville, Oct. 5, 1907, the son of Judge and Mrs. Robert A. Shivers, leading citizens of that historic region. Later they moved to Port Arthur.

His education was obtained in the schools of Woodville, Port Arthur and the University of Texas. As a student he was a hard work-er, ambitious and a leader. In the University of Texas he distinguished himself on the campus and in worthy campus activities as well as in the class room. He never forgot his main objective in school as is reflected in the fact that he won both an A. B.

and a LL. B. degree. Yet because of his prowess in student government and in campus affairs, he left a record that will not soon be surpassed. Political Career Began Early When he went home with his law degree, it was with no intention of hunting for greener pastures in other climes.

He chose the hard way. He elected to remain where he had grown to manhood and took -IP SEN. ALLAN SHIVERS his chances with his boyhood friends, playmates of yesterday, and neighbors and friands. So upon departing bareheaded from the "Forty Acres" so well beloved by the multiplied thousands who have attended the University of Texas, he opened his law office at Port Arthur. Responding to the urge to place himself in a key position of service to his district, state and nation.

"Allan," as he is familiarly called by all who know him best, bought a hat and hurled it in the political ring. He was young, untried in politics and unknown to most of the people of the four flourishing and populous counties of his district. Opposed by veterans and forced to storm the citadel of doubt, he sought senatorial duties in earnest, making a campaign as brilliant as had been his campus career. He won. He was elected to membership in the 44th Texas senate.

In that session he applied himself with diligence, anxious not only to master the rules and procedure of that august and important body, but also to espouse intelligently those measures which he regarded as having been designed to further the interest of the taxpayers of Texas, and for permanent good. He met the lovely and vivacious Marialice Shary. They were married Oct. 5, 1937, at Sharyland, Texas. Sen.

Shivers is a Baptist, an Eagle and a member of the Lions club of Port "Arthur. In 1937 he served as president protenipore of the senate. He has been a delegate to all state and national conventions of the democratic party since 1932. Conscientious Legislator In 1935. Sen.

Shivers was a member of the senate conference committee which wrote the first old age pension law for Texas. He voted against the Allred deliberali-zation bill, and in 1939. voted in favor of amending the pension law to prohibit denial of a pension because of the possibility of child support. He was author of the Texas unemployment compensation act, and will offer an amendment to that act at the coming session, to make effective the principle of merit rating. It is estimated by the commission that this amendment will save the taxpayers of Texas approximately $10,000,000.

Committees of the 46th of which he w-as a member were contingent expenses, enrolled bills, labor, mining, irrigation and drainage, public lands and land office, rules, vice chairman state affairs and chairman of the committee on nominations of governor. He is welcomed back to the 47th session as one of the most conscientious, courageous and brilliant young men ever to serve in the senate.

Suhk's Experience In Texas Public Life Varied The statement "Let George do it" could have originated in Chillicothe, the West Texas home of Sen, George Clarence Moffett. For he is distinctly a man of action and acquainted with work.

By profession he is a real dirt farmer and of him it also may be said, "When he puts his hands to the plow he never looks back. He was born on a farm in Hardeman county and has never left it except to go to Texas A4M, to the World War and to the Texas legislature. Someone has said that you can take the boy out of the country but you can't take the country out of the boy. Sen. Moffett has never desired to be taken out of the coun try.

He is the only member of the present senate who is a farmer by occupation. 'Cotton George' His home address is at Chilli cothe. and it is in the vicinity of that thriving city close to the Panhandle that he manages a cotton plantation where the principles of persistence, patience and perspira tion are used in liberal proportions and as a result notable success in production has been achieved. That intelligence and industry still find their reward on the larm is ably demonstrated on the plantation which Sen. Moffett has managed for the past 17 years.

"Cotton as he is familiarly called by all of his host of admiring friends, is known throughout the state as one of the ablest and most honorable men ever to serve in the legislative branch of the Texas state government. The son of.Frank Lee and Ina Farington Moffett born at Chillicothe on Nov. 20, 1895, he has grown up with his part of the world whose progress in the last half century is a glowing tribute to 8 great citizenship and a section blessed with the bounties of wonderful natural resources, climate and other advantages. After completing the course of study in the Chillicothe high school he went to College Station to attend Texas Agricultural and Mechanical college. From that great institution he graduated in 1916 with a bachelor of science degree.

Less than 4 year after the United States entered the World War he enlisted as a private in the" air service. His training at was identical with that of thousands of other sons of that educational institution which has produced so many noble Texas youths for the battle of life, in peace as well as in war. Civic Leader After the armistice was signed he returned to his home to take up his beloved and familiar duties in the community and on the farm. He married the popular Miss Hilda Marie Rabb, to which union has been born a charming daughter, Patricia Joy, and a fine son, Frank Lee. His family has truly been an inspiration in his labors of love.

Sen. Moffett is an active member of the Methodist church, a loyal Mason and Shriner, an Elk who knows the full meaning of the 11 o'clock hour, a member of the American Legion and a charter member and the first president of the virile Lions club of Chillicothe. He served four years in the house of representatives, the terms being the 42nd. 43rd, 44th, and 45th. It was in 1938 that he was honored with election to the Texas senate.

While a member of the house he was known as one of the ablest of representatives, one who was true always to his convictions, loyal to his constituents and devoted to the best interests of his state. As a member of the 44th legislature he was a leader of the successful movement to create and establish the Texas Memorial museum, sponsored by the American Legion of Texas, and located on the campus of the University of Texas. On Many Committee Yet in the prime of hfe, he has before him many more fruitful years of public service. He is known for his practical viewpoints, his common sense, spotless character, courage and faithfulness to duty.

thins I THAT FROM NOW 0 1 CAN ACT Y3Ti lh Grandfather Joined Up With Austin Behind Rep. Samuel Jackson Laacks is a long line of honorable and famous ancestry of which any man might well be proud. Ifaacks became a good American name, when, in 1720, Samuel Ifaacks, the first of the name landed on American soil. The grandfather of the representative, Samuel Isaacks. a lad of 17, was one of the 300 pioneers accompanying Stephen Austin, who lined up on the eastern banks of the Sabine river, boundary line between the United States and Texas, then claimed as a part of Mexican territory.

Austin had commanded that no one should cross the river until he gave the word. The steed of young Isaacks was nervous, and the lad on his back was excited and filled with patriotic "fervor. Impatient, young Isaacks spurred his horse into the Sabine, and they swam across the river. Isaacks, thus the first of Austin's band to reach the shores of the new colony, was destined to cut a large figure in Texan independence. In Ripenew of Minhaod This spirit of adventure marked the career of the young man.

This desire for service and readiness to do his share has been inherited by his grandson, and he has always been found at the front, fighting for what he believes to be the welfare, the freedom and independence of the people, their right to govern themselves. judge Isaacks was born at Sa-lado, Texas, Feb. 18, 1869. His parents were Wesley Carel and Purity Annis Foreman Isaacks. When their son was born, they were inspired by the names of two great humanitarians, Samuel Houston, first president of the republic of Texas, and Andrew Jackson, who helped carve a part of a great nation out of the wilderness that is now Tennessee, and who, as president of the United States made a record by establishing the democratic principle more firmly in the hearts and minds of the American people, and in the statutes of the United States.

This boy, christened Samuel Jackson Isaacks, now in the ripeness of his manhood stands true to the principles that were held by the great men for whom he was named. Judge Samuel J. Isaacks wasl educated in the common schools of .1 i i i 3 -v SEN. L. J.

SILAK ing Institution of higher learning from 1933 througn 1335. And it was in 1934 that he was elected to his seat in the senate from the 15th district, assuming his duties in January, 1935. Committee assignments in the 4Gth senate were: Chairman agriculture, vice chairman senatorial districts, chairman public printing, commerce and manufacturers, congressional districts, constitutional amendments, highways and motor traffic, insurance, labor, state affairs and penitentiaries. Sen. Sulak returns to the 47th as a veteran in official service.

20. i API Dame Margstrrt Lloyd George, wife of; Britain world war prime minister, d.ed Monday at Cnccieth, Walea, REP. ISAACKS Texas, studied law, and was admitted to the bar in 1902. He married Miss Minnie Williard Rut-ledge, and seven children were born of their union. Judge Isaacks is a member of the Christian church and of all Masonic bodies, these coinciding with his own thoughts in spiritual and humanitarian matters.

He has kept faith with the teachings of his church, and the fraternity of which he is an honored member. Campbell Booster Elected to membership in the 23th legislature, Judge Isaacks served his people well. He was a great admirer of Gov. James Stephen Hogg, and followed the counsels of that great Texas governor. While in Austin, he lived at the old Avenue hotel, which was then the home of Gov.

Hogg. Many nights he spent with the great humanitarian governor, and listened to his teachings, fired by the patriotic utterances and message of this distinguished citizen of Texas. In 1906, inspired by the advice of former Gov. Hogg that Tom Campbell would make a good governor, Judge Isaacks who had moved to Midland, where he was mayor for several years, took up the battle for Campbell in West Texas, and through his tireless efforts and public speeches, lined all of that area up for Campbell for gnvernor. When the state conven-1 tion met in 1906, Tom Campbell I led in instrueted votes, but did I not have enough for election.

This strong nucleus created by Judge Isaacks swung into action and when the convention adjourned, Tom Campbell had been nominated for governor. Judge Isaacks returned to his home in Midland where he again took up the practice of law and in the press of other duties forgot the campaigning he had done for Tom Campbell. One day in 1909 a telegram reached Judge Isaacks. It was Gov. Campbell offering him the sppointment as judge of the new 70th judicial district established by the legislature, embracing the counties of Midland, Upton, Glasscock, Ector, Martin, Winkler, Andrew's, Reeves and Ward.

Judge Isaacks accepted, took the oath of office, and entered upon a career of service on the bench that has never been exceeded in our state for its edministration of justice, tempered with mercy, with fairness and the spirit of the humanitarian. Judge Isaacks was elected by the people to retain his position as district judge in 1910 and again in 1914. He resigned in 1917, to take up the practice of law in El Paso, where he has since resided and practiced his profession, always with justice and fairness as is his code." He has often remarked that the best lawyer is the one who renders the court the most service in arriving at the focts and in construing the law of a case, Good Advisor After his removal to El Paso, Judge Isaacks took little active part in politics. He served in 1920 as a presidential elector, and in 1938, pressed by a large part of his constituency, he made the race for membership in the 4fith house of representatives and was elected. In this legislature, he was placed on the committee on examination of comptroller's and treasurer's accounts; judiciary; livestock and stockraising; public lands and buildings; school districts.

On these committees he has done service inspired by a rich experience in contacting, knowing and understanding the needs of the people. He has been probably the most valued adviser of the younger members who bring to him their many perplexing problems of a first year in their state's lawmaking body. His advice is logical and authoritative. Apparently he derives his greatest pleasure from assisting the young man in removing the obstacles confronting him. One of the most inspirational and clarifying speeches made during the regular session of the 46th legislature, was broadcast over the radio by Rep.

Isaacks on the subject of pensions for the aged. The speech was unanswerable in its logic and profound in its wisdom, It went straight to Vf heart of this difficult question. It pictured the position of the in the world in wnich doors of opportunity have been closed to those out of employment out of money, out of any means of subsistence. The speaker pointed to the thousands bereft of homes, lands and money, through no cause of their own, but due to a tragic situation created by a world's unrest and by a lack of confidence and courage in its people. The speech was a "plea for justice, pointed with patriotism.

I and fired with the fervor of man who battles for the right and i just Mr. Isaacks loves the history of: Texas, and the humanitarianism of i its great men such as Houston and) Hogg. He called attention to the) guideposts of this history and pleaded with the lawmakers to profit bv the lessons these have taught He is making a strong and effective plea for the better and more adequate housing of our priceless archives and the authority of his leadership is daily gaining recruit! for thii worthiest cf causes. Rome Claims Cruiser Sunk ROME, Jan. 20.

(AP) Stefan, the official Italian news agency, said Monday that Italian authorities had learned two British cruisers were sunk in the air attack in the Straits of Sicily 10 days ago, instead of only one. The first cruiser was hit by Italian dive-bombers southeast of Pan-tellaria island Jan. 10 and the second by German bombers east ol Malta the next day, Stefan! said, The ships were of the same type, the agency said, and therefore i( was impossible to ascertain which was the Southampton, whose loss was announced by the British ad. miralty last week. It was in the same fighting that the Italians claimed to have damaged the big British aircraft carrier Illustrious, which since has been reported hit in two German dive-bombing attacks on Valletta, Malta.
