Name Mixup Is Framed
Dallas June 10 State Comptroller George H. Sheppard says his political enemies framed the filing of James M. Shepard as a candidate for the state comptroller post. He notes the mix up arose from names alike and claims an attempt to contest the ballot. Shepard, a red haired meat slasher, recalls limited political experience and says he ran after being approached by Charles H. Rose who offered to pay campaign expenses. He earns $30 weekly and was surprised the salary law sets the post at $2,500 while he believed the comptroller earned around $7,000.
