who remember Mayor DemingS speech and pre-

interested sufficiently in the welfare of
Abilene to vote only for its growth,
prosperity and best interests. They
fully understand the question which is
now being considered, and if they de-

bonds, they should not be abused, bera-
ted and called ''cranks'' "Old fogies, !"

of calling every one who does not fall

REFLECTOR does not wish to dictate to
any voter in this matter, but we believe
that after giving the question careful
study, nothing will be gained in voting
the bonds.
