MIR. L. Rouvant, San Antonio, Texas.
DEAR SIR-Yours of the oath with enclosed
slip from the EVENING LIGHT is to hand. II
you take second look at it, you will discover
that other dealers who have not got the med
icated glasses would naturally cry them down.
Why? Because they get for spectacle that
costs them one dollar dozen, one dollar per
pair, or else they get for glass that cost them
IS cents a pair, the sum of 81. 50 per pair.
Therefore you will at once see that it is to their
interest to cry down the medicated glasses.
First, because they have not got them to sell,
as you are our only agent for San Antonio;
binary glasses; third, the medicated glasses
are driving the ordinary glasses out Of the
market Now, sir, propose to
protect you in the sale of the medicated
glasses so that you can warrant every pair that
you sell to give positive benefit to the eye. l
don't care who it is, any one using the glasses
will at once admit their superiority, and &C
knowledge their Improvement The eye is
no small affair, and people at this age are not
blind as to what is positive improvement. l
have had the same trouble to contend with
here, until the medicated glasses came into
general use, and now what is the result
Every one that uses them Recommend them
to their friends, and am selling them all
through the United States, thousands upon
thousands of pairs, and have yet to hear Of a
complaint. will present to the citizens of
your state testimonials and certificates of the
highest and most tattering character from
men of prominence and position, and were
| to advertise, to-day, for testimonials, from
your state alone, for the medicated glasses,
I am certain could fill one side of the San
Antonio Express. don't claim any medi-
cine in the glass, but I do claim that from
chemicals applied to glass in a soluble state l
have discovered the making ola glass that is
a perfect Transparent lens, that bends the rays
of light, SO that they become SOFT nice and
cool, keeping the eye in normal condition,
thus doing away with any distressing sensa-
ton. What do care for the opinion of ply
sicians, whose only idea of the manufacture of
glass is theoretical. For any practical glass
maker will inform you that it is an impossible
ity to make glass without the use of chem
icals. Wishing you every success. | am
yours very truly HERO. HOUSAlI.

CAPTAIN THOMAS VS., THE FARMER
AND LABORER.

While the circular published elsewhere
in this issue, is a very full indictment of
Captain Thomas, there are several other
counts touching his votes as representative
Of the people, which it is proper to add
now, The Republican press OF the dis.
triCt, such portions Of it as ism sympathy
with the captain, has sought to arouse the
farmers and laboring men against Captain
Murphy on the ground that ho has, by
ability energy, good judgment aud honesty,
been SO far successful in the management
OF bis own private affairs az to have &C.
quired reasonably large business interests.
This should, if anything, RAISE Captain
Murphy in the estimation and confidence
of all voters who, like he did, are starting
at the bottom of the ladder, and who de.
sire an able representative in congress; and
It should satisfy them that, havinl sue.

dishonorably failed, he will DO also sue

IMPORTANT TO DEMOCRATS.

THEY SHOULD DIVIDE THEIR VOTES EQUAL
LY BETWEEN THE TWO DEMOCRATIC CAN.
DiDATEs FOR THE LEGISLATURE.
Every Democratic voters and others who
will act with them, should give each
of the Democratic candidates
for the lower house of the
state legislature, from this senatorial dis
trict, one and half votes fany plump
ing" is done, one or the other of them may
be feated and that would lessen the
chances (which are now reasonably sure of
s.Democratic general Assem- bly,.
In the State there are II Senatorial Dis
tricts in which the Republicans have two
candidates for representative, and the Dem
ocrats Que. All of these will be elected
1t is reasonably certain.
There are l6 Districts IN which the DEM
ocrats have two candidates, aud the Re
publicans one, all Of which will be
elected.
There are IS Districts in which both par
ties will run two, and each side will Ger
tainly elect one, leaving the third in doubt.
There will thus be assured GS Re
publican and 81 Democrats. majority
of in TIE house is II. Therefore to give
us majority we will have to get 10, or
the Republicans will have to get 8 of
the 10 doubtful 81 members.
If the Democrats will act wisely there
is no doubt whatever but that they
will have good working majority in the
rassem5iy, burif they are Gallons, or resort
to "plumping," defeat is certain, The cleo
ton OF 1880 furnished an example of the
disastrous results Of "pIumbing.' In that
election the Democrats Of six districts
elected only one member in each, because
they concentrated their votes upon one
candidate, when, by dividing their votes
equally between two, they could have cleo
ted both. This was the case in the First,
Twentieth, Twenty fourth, Forty. ninth,
Forty-fourth aud Tenth districts, all being
Democratic by maiorities ranging from II
to $50, but which, by Democratic plump
ing" allowed the Republicans to elect two
members to the legislature to the Demo
Gratis one. Had the Democrats acted wise
ly and divided their votes equally between
their two candidates, they would have
elected six more Democratic members than
they did, the 1921 general assembly would
have been Democratic 10y a
majority Of one, and the late
disgraceiul gerrymander could have
been prevented. Therefore, we ask the
Democrats of this and also Of the Fifty.hrst
district to act wisely to not thoughtlessly
throw away good chance to make the
33d general assembly strongly Democratic.
