SCHOOLS AND THE
SHIFTING POPULATION
The decrease of population in
many rural communities which
is being revealed by the cen
sus returns is generally attrib
uted to industry drawing men
and women to many of the
cities and towns. Rut P- P.
Claxton United States commis
sioner of education says that
although it is true that the
large development of indus
trial centers has made inroads
into the rural communities an
investigation would disclose
the fact that many people are
leaving the rural sections for
the purpose of obtaining better
educational facilities for their
children.
It is an undisputed fact,
Prof. Claxton says, that where
the schools are made better in
the rural sections they have a
tendency to hold people on the
farms. He pointed out that
18,000 elementary schools in
the United States did not open
last year on account of teach
ers. And to avoid the closing
of other schools there were
employed during the last
school year between 40,000
and 50,000 teachers who had
not stood the required examin
ations.
Professor Claxton made the
striking statement that if all
the persons who have ever
been graduated in the normal
and teacher training courses in
the "normals and colleges of
this country since the first nor
mal was established in 1836
were alive today they would be
adequate to supply the present
demand for teachers. There
is now, he said, need for 100,
000 new teachers for elemen
tary schools and 20,000 for
high schools.

GRAY’S LAST APPEAL
TO THE PATRIOTIC VOTERS
The following article will show to you that Thornberry Gray is
not a candidate for County and Probate Judge at his own volition:
hut it is by solicitation and petition.
March 8th, 1920.
To the Honorable T. A. Gray:
We, the undersigned, having the explicit confidence in
your integrity and honesty, and believing that you will be the County
Judge and be run by a bunch of politicians, we earnestly solicit you
to let us make you our next County and Probate Judge. We feel that
you stood oy us and we will stand by you, and each of us indicate op
posite our name the amount to help defray your expenses. You
must run.
W. S. OTTINGER,
J. D. HODGES,
A. I). WILSON
B. A. SPICER
T. S. STARKS
T. L. GOFORTH.
This petition w as also signed by 193 of the representative citizens of
Independence County, but for lack of space we deem it not necessary
to set them all out by name at this time, and I must say as I have said
in a former article that I feel more than grateful to all these farm
ers who have contributed to my cause, for I am satisfied that you
were prompted by patriotism and love of country only, however I felt
it my dut> to tender these contributions back to these gentlemen w ith
he same grateful feeling with which it was given to me.
I do not feel that it is necessary for me to set forth my platform
at this time as you are all familiar with what I stand for and the
things I hope to accomplish; therefore, let me urge every one to go
to the polls and make my majority the greatest that any one man ev
er carried this county, and let me tell you that will he the proudest
moment of my life, and I will do my very best to give everybody a
square deal, and by giving a man a square deal I mean giving him
what the LAW SAYS FOR ME TO and not what some POLITICAL
SCHEMER WANTS ME TO.
Yours for good roads, good schools and good churches,
THORNBERRY A. GRAY

The people are with Tom Terral in this fight and
the political bloodsuckers, tricksters, ringsters and
professional politicians are with the “RING candi
dates. Pace - Davis - McQuistion-MtCarroll-Reaves
Calvert Machine are back of Powell. Little Rock
Board of Commerce, Banks, Insurance Companies,
Corporations and Big Interests are back of McRae.
THE PEOPLE are back of Tom Terral. Mr. Voter
which crowd appeals to you?
Tom Terral is the only candidate for Governor
who has had the Nerve, Courage and Backbone to
name the parties on the different Boards and Com
missions who have been robbing the people of theii
revenue and plunging the state deeper and deeper
into debt. All the other candidates have been politi
cal cowards when it came to exposing the fellows
who are committing these wrongs against the tax
ridden people.
The ringleaders of all the Boards and Commis
sions are fighting Terral. With them it is just any
body to defeat Terral. They know by experience
^they can’t control and dictate to him. They know
Tom Terral’s election will choke them loose from the
“public teat.”
When elected Tom Terral will go into the Gover
nor’s office with NO clique or special few controlling
his actions and dictating to him what he shall or shall
not do. He will be the actual Governor of the whole
people.
VICTORY IS CERTAIN! In Tom Terral’s
speech he says: The People Shall Know the Truth.
Compare his speech with the speeches of other can
didates. lorn Terral puts his finger on grave wrongs
being committed by these grafters, highbinders and
political bloodsuckers and states he will oust every
single one of them when he becomes Governor. Ter
ral will appoint men of integrity, ability and experi
ence to the important positions of state government.
Tom Terral is the man for the people.
To serve corporations, insurance companies,
special interests and political machines McRae or
Powell would be better qualified since they are tied
to these interests.
Mr. Voter do you know that Powell and McRae
are special attorneys for Road Districts? Do you
know the politicians and moneyed interests are back
ing them? Tell me.how they can serve TWO MAST
ERS at the same time. It just can’t be done.
TOM TERRAL IS THE PEOPLE’S CHOICE TO
DEFEAT MACHINE RULE. Hundreds of letters,
telegrams and telephone calls are pouring into Ter
ral’s Headquarters telling of his speech taking like
wildfire in every section of the state. Nothing less
than a LANDSLIDE is predicted for Terral by the
best infrmed men in the state. o
Friends, BE ACTIVE till the LAST HOUR. The
fight is won. It is not a victory for Terral but a
VICTORY for GOOD GOVERNMENT. During Tom
Terral’s administration the taxridden people will see
a safe, sane and business administration and a state
government run in the interest of those who pay
taxes.
