An anonymous Plain-Herald contributor argues Hale County residents fail to fund road improvements, ceding funds to other counties and hindering reimbursement from state and federal road programs. Wilbarger County’s approach to matching funds and securing highway routes is cited as practical, with broader calls for counties like Hale Hall Donley and Chiles dresses to adopt similar highway funding and designation strategies.
A local appeal urges voters to approve bonds to fund Gulf highway and Lee Highway paving, highlighting past bond success and promised federal and state aid. The writer notes Hale County progress and calls for wider support across western counties.
A Washington correspondent reports that fourteen Democratic states are forming to block William G. McAdoo from the 1924 nomination. The plan seeks unity in opposition, arguing those states hold enough votes to thwart any candidate, given the two thirds rule in conventions, though some questions remain unsettled.
The Vernon Record condemns McAdoo as an uncompro mising socialist ally, warns against labor dominated leadership, and urges Democrats to deny him the nomination. It argues government ownership of railroads and organized labor threaten national destiny, calling for political extinction of McAdoo by party members who revere core Democratic principles.
