CANDIDATES. MEET
And Discuss the Issues Of the
Campaign.
A Large and Hilarious Gathering Of Fourth
Ward Voters Last Night.

Before S o'clock last night the
hall at the Fourth ward fire station
was crowded, and when The NEWS
representative arrived every availa-
BILE chair, except one reserved for
the chairman, was occupied. APP
preaching one Of the gentlemen &C.
cuping a seat, the reporter asked
that he surrender his chair. He
said, among other things;
care you Bart Moore MANI"
"Yes."
care you working for THE
NEws?'
eyes"
"Well, take it,"
At SIS Mr.. James Hopkins was
elected chairman.
Judge Brinkerhoff was first
called. His appearance was greeted
with applause. He said:
JUDGE BRINK ERHoFF's sPEKcH.
81 appear before you asking your
sufTrages for the mayoralty. We
see by the present registration that
this is a city of 10000 inhabitants.
There has been great deal said
about the enforcement of the ordln-
ances of the city. There is hue
and cry that there are many laws
which apply to the city and state
alike, that are not enforced, espe-
cially as regards gambling and Sun
day opening of saloons. This cry
is against the county officials az
we'll, l will say, and | think my
record for 20 years among you is
guarantee as to the value OF my
word, that if l am elected
shall, as far as is with
in my power, enforce the ordinances
of the city. Applause under
stand that as you go down one Of
the principal streets of Waco yor
can hear the cry of keno from ont
of the open gambling halls of Waco
The Waco evening news. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 1891-1894, 1894-03-31

way we got block pavements wss
because the people living on those
streets petitioned for block pave
ments. The council did not want
it. The rock pavements of this
town are all good and all cheap
work.
"The charter provides that con.
tracts for street improvements must
be given to the lowest bidder. That
bidder may come from where he
may. Bids are adv, rtised for and
the street committee opens them
and gives it to the man who seems
best for the bsst interests Of the
city. That contractor may employ
whom he will.
| "The justice courts, county
court and district courts have as
much jurisdiction to enforce the laws
against gambling as has the mayor.
1t is not the duty of the mayor to
spy out the gambling houses and
try the offenders before his court.
"The editor of The EvENING
NKws came to me and said that he
opposed me, but that had made a
good mayor and he would support
me. 1t was not ten days before he
published the reports of lawlessness
which you have seen, opposing me
for reelection, and doing Waco
more damage than can be repaired
in years.
'If you think l have been capa-
bic officer and have made you 8
good mayor, ask your support. If
| have not made capable mayor |
will bow to the will of the voter. "
| Applause.
Mr.. Moore responded to the calls
and said:
BART MooRE's SPEECH.
81 am asking your support fol
mayor of Waco. l have no record
to refer you to, as have the gentle
men opposing me. Judge Brinker-
hoff refers you to record of twenty
years that he has been sucking the
public teat. Mayor McCullooh
says he has no platform. | have.
l have reasons for asking your sup
port and have presented the issue
squarely.
The Waco evening news. [volume] (Waco, Tex.) 1891-1894, 1894-03-31

your vote. Do not give it to me
because you are my friend, but be.
cause you think am the man that
comes up to all the requirements.
If l am not, then vote for one that
is better qualified Applause
MAYOR M'CULLocH' SPEECH.
Mayor McCulloch next took the
stand. He said:
II am before you tonight as a
candida for re election to the
Office of mayor Of Waco. do not
deem it necessary to lay down a

"Mr. McCuloch's record is before
you. He SAID he has been worked
to death, in fact ia the hardest
worked mayor in the United States
If he hes been worked so hard, give
him a rest. He needs it. He also
said there are no open gambling
houses in Waco, and in the next
breath that the CITY would not be
prosperous without them. The idea

"In the details of the Office of
mayor, l have attended to all duties
as closely as possible, without the
loss of single day. As president
of the council, there have not been
over half dozen appeals from my
decisions. If | had not been right
there would have been more ap
peals. AS judge of the police
conrt, l have presided 365 days in
the year, Sundays excepted, and
have tried more than COCO cases
more than all other courts in the
county. have tried to be an i'm
partial judge. Regarding the en-.
folcement of the law, / have done
what my power allowed me to do.
Many of those brought before me
were poor men, with wife and babes
at home. who would suffer by fine
of $25, which would contine them
in Jail fifty days, and have given
them lighter fine, 80 they could
90 home to the wife and babies.
Applause l have asse ssed fines
to the amount of $50, 900 during my
last term which has gone into the
treasury. l have held that court
without one cent of salary. The
council voted me salary, but
through a technicality could not
get it. Notwithstanding the de.
preston from Denison to the Rio
Grande, Waco has steadily grown
under the present administration,
and is still growing. Applause.
81 will say that it is impossible
to completely suppress gambling.
| No officer or set of officers can do
it. hear no charges against
Judges Scott, Goodrich or Jenkins
all higher in authority than the
mayor, or against Judges Gallagher
or Harrison. One gentleman has
said Austin has suppressed gam
bling. do not believe that it has
been done, but | will say that Austin
is the least prosperous city in
Texas. Austin has very little more
! population than she had twenty Fl We
years ago. Houston, judging from
the late registration, is the most
prosperous city in Texas. People
have hocked to Houston, and
among them are gamblers. In 1882
/ and 1888 there were three gambling
, houses on the lower floors on Austin

Brinkerhoff was recorder and Mr..
