Thompson Will Seek Congress Post This Year

Amarillo’s Col. Ernest Thompson launches his Democratic primary bid for congressman at large. The mayor, in office three years, outlines a platform emphasizing cheaper utilities, lower taxes, and streamlined city government, citing a $1,000,000 annual saving from rate cuts and 25 percent tax relief. He argues for national focus on domestic work and opposition to further European financial meddling. Thompson’s record includes public improvements, war service, and role as Amarillo’s leader amid tough times.

War talk and small-town exploits on the square

A long column of lighthearted vignettes from a square scene recounts war chatter among locals, a Congress-at-large candidacy by Colonel Ernest Thompson, playful skits about enlistment, social rumors, a four letter athlete, theater capers, and a humorous note on student grades, all in a breezy, colloquial tone.

Believe It Or Dont Column Snippets Mixed With Local Notes

Belief it or not items feature McClaskey claiming oil wells in Russia and a saved white crew, Harper recounts a bearings mishap en route to Hillsboro, and various social tidbits.
