AT BEXAR.
Saturday was field day in politics
and the candidates were hard worked.
Some Of them got very tired by their
Responding prospects.
There was a barbecue at Bexar post
office, known as precinct Is, and having
regard to the surrounding votes il was
well attended. The "straights" practi-
calIy had it their own way. A. Robin

to the satisfaction or votes they get out
of that precinct.

The peoples party" were in strong
force and barbecue was held to give
their candidates chance to talk. Louis
Grothaus, George Paschal and j. r.
Newcomb delivered extended pleas for
themselves and cO-ticketists, but how
much good they have done will be seen
by the result. Reliable information
from that point leads to the inference

THE LEAGUE RALLY.
The Bexar County Industrial League
held rally Saturday night on the Main
plaza which was largely attended. J
n. Armstrong was elected chairman and
this being done, Mr. j. e. Crawford
stepped forward and delivered an adj
dress upon the objects Of the League
and In furtherance OF his election as as
SCISSOR. Then the Hon. A. j. Evans
stepped forward and made one of his
characteristic speeches In which he
espoused the cause Of labor against cap
ital and gave the peoples party
''scathing" that will not be forgotten.
He said that crowd OF so-called repub-
licans had 'sOld him out body, soul and
breeches, but he defied them to deliv-
er the goods. He would vote for Shelly
because he was brave, honest and
prompt, he wouldn't vote for WurZbach,
but he would for Huston, be-
cause he was true republican,
Crawford should have his vote because
he had. In his younger days, fought for
the rights of Texas. He knew Fred
Bader and that WAS the reason why he
intended to vo for Martinez He COM
mended the league ticket in the highest
terms. Judge Evans speech was list
ened to with great attention and he
frequently evoked roars of laughter and
Outburst of genuine applause.
Theo. Banks, Otto SOlms, j. Martin,
G. W. w. Smith, j. ROutledge, w. II.
Huston, Fayette Walker and other
local speakers followed and did good
work for the league ticket which was
evidently the popular ticket.
