Aaron Frank Clothing Co. NOT CONNECTED WITH OTHER STORES 509-511 East Houston St. IN THE HALLS OF THE MIGHTY “Some Men Are Born Great. Some Achieve Greatness and Some Have Greatness Thrust Upon Them." Special Dispatch. Austin, Tex., June 20. —When, after having been carefully raised ly honest Alabama parents and taught the ne-, cessity and dignity of labor behind a plow in old Van Zandt, Hon. John A. Mobley went to the legislature twice and was apparently willing to go again, his friends almost lost hope. In this emergency Governor Campbell ap pointed him assistant attorney general, to practice before the court of criminal appeals, and he was saved. This appointment, by the way, paid off an old debt of the governor’s, for the chief executive was the unwilling cause of Mobley’s defeat for the speak ership of the house of representatives in 1909. No, he didn’t do it on pur pose, but this thought was hardly con soling to Mr. Mobley. Just Touching It. Not to go too deeply into an affair painful both to those’ who supported Mobley for speaker and those who did not—b u t for widely different reasons —it is enough to say that Mobley had tho speakership won when somebody whispered that the governor was for him. That settled it. It would have been folly for those unterrified and unshaved representatives of a great people to pass up a chance to shew the governor that he couldn't make them do anything, by lleck, no matter how much they wanted to do that very thing. At'that Mobley lost by only six votes. Whether or not the governor thought this when Judge McCord was promoted to the bench of the court of appeals, his apopintment brought into the office left vacant one of the ablest lawyers in tho state, with a decided aptness for prosecuting criminals and unwinding an appellant’s maze of exceptions to show that there is nothing inside. He’s a Scrapper. Mobley is a man who has had to fight for everything he ever got. and with the single exception of the speakership has got everything he has fought for. 11 is battles began with his boyhood, when he worked and went to school at intervals and they are not yet over. Already they have become affairs of state wide interest. As the champion of the full rendition law, the bank guar anty law and gross receipts and fran chise tax laws he made Texas history. The intangible tax law, although it or iginated with W. D. Williams, now rail road commissioner, is in its present ! form one of the statutes which he [ helped to frame and fight for, and each of these measures has brought down on him endless criticism. It may also be said without untruth that all of the measures advocated by him have since been found beneficial to that class they were designed to protect, whether it was the small taxpayer or t le de positor in a state bank. Won a Scholarship. Born in Van Zandt county in 1875, Mr. Mobley went to school at Ben Wheeler for some time, working ou a farm at intervals and besides the regu lar studies took a commercial course. He left school to work iu a small gro cery store until able to go ’'ack. when in 1593 he won a scholarship iu the University of Texas, graduating in 1901 in the law department. In the same year he began the practice of law at Athens, Henderson county. So fur he had made a good record, but at this period he tell from grace and became county attorney of Henderson county in 1902, his first political office. Being" a county attorney over in east Texas in those days was no sinecure. A too vigorous course of duty was like ly to wind up with a display of fire works inaugurated by relatives of a convicted defendant, culminating in “taps” for tho attorney. Mobley be ing young, did not altogether realize ( the gravity of his situation ami tailed I .H'NE 20. 1910. to jog along in the ethical way. As a result he was frequently threatened and by way of repartee held court with a shotgun across his knees and sent for ty-eight men to the penitentiary in something more than a jear. Having thus thinned out the opposition he ran for the legislature and was elected. Beat “Whisker Politics.” His second race for representative was rather strenuous. He was a Bailey man in an anti-Bailey county. Every body iu Henderson county knows Cone Johnson, who has fox hunted ovjr the HE’S YOUNG AND FEELS IT hills around Athens for years. The county was also strongly anti-Campbell and to make matters worse, Mr. Mob lev’s opponent was wearing high boots and shouting for justice to the plain * ‘ peepul. ’ ’ It was a tough combina tion, but Mobley beat it. Incidentally he gave one more county to Campbell in his race against “Village Black smith” Williams, and made th. kind of politics that starves barbers unpopu- ! lar. That race, ns Mr. Mobley says, “made the monkey-parrot row look like a peace conference,” and twenty-two joint debates were pulled off. It was less strenuous thau some of his legis lative experiences, but these are well known. Young and Feels It. Mr. Mobley is very approachable and assumes no heavy dignity. He is young and reels that way to an extent that makes him like the pastimes and inter ests of young men. Behind him is a pretty good record for a man of his age and nobody knows what is ahead. Maybe it isn’t quite fair to biographize him until he goes further up. A pure water for people who use and want the best. It’s a health aid and a most satisfying thirst quencher. On sale everywhere.
