Evening Mail Saturday.
There has been considerable query
lately as TO where the labor vote in
Fort Worth would go in the coming
county election. and In order TO get
some light on the subject, a Mail re-
porter yesterday afternoon called on
Dr. II. S. Broiles at his Office for
the purpose of getting an expression
from him. Dr. Broiles Is a man who
more thoroughly than any one else In
this city organized the labor vote, and
who was thorn in the side OF Dem
ocracy for years. AS the laboring
mans candidate he was elected mayor
of this city, and his influence with the
laboring classes is probably greater
than that of any other one man In
Fort Worth. He is a man of brains
- good forecaster of political events
and his Views on local political affairs
are OF considerable weight.
In the beginning yesterday the re-
porter was candid with DR.. Broiles
and told him he wished to interview
him on the local political outlook and
that anything he might say would be
published. Thus having warned him,
the reporter asked the question:
What action, doctor. do you think
lIlt hdbbIlHB men Oh fOTl w OIlH VIII
take with reference to the ticket NOM
inatod by the Democratic party in
their prlmaries?"
81 am not in active politics now"
said he. after brief period of thought,
and am keeping out of the hurly-
burly as much as possible. 1 found
long since that business in my profess
sion and politics do not mix well, and
have concluded to stick to business
ana let politics go. Still, l cannot avoid
noticing the trend of affals that are
engaged In by those men who have
been my warm political friends and
supporters. You ask me what action
the workinBmen Will take with refer
ence To the Democratic county ticket.
Thep can. In fact. take but one action.
Having elected after due dellberation
not TO put out a ticket of their own,
but to go into the Democratic pri-
maries and fight the battle out there,
they by so doing pledged themselves
TO abide the result and they Will do 1t.
They went into the primaries in good
faith, and that good faith will be car
ried out TO the voting of the ticket
which their votes aided in nominating
AS for myself, ] propose to stay and
go with those men who have been
and still are my friends. The Popu-
lists and the workingmen having failed
TO nominate any ticket, and the work.
Ing men having gone into the Demo-
cratic primaries in order TO nominate
the best men OF all the candidates In
the field. and having done so. l am
going to do what I deem best and
proper--vote for all the nominees
on the Democratic county ticket.
am going to follow my friends. the
working men. and they are going to
Keep their faith and vote for the tick
ct they helped to nominate. am
impelled to this course by two consld-
eratlons, one being that my people.
having helped to nominate the ticket.
IL is myduty to support It as they will
do; the other reason is that the ticket
nominated Is composed of good men,
and they have all been friends of the
workingmen. They are honest and
capable, and believe under their nd
ministration of county affairs the in
forests OF the people will be protected.
Such men as John p. King, Adam
Euless, Ben Terrell. John Rardon.
George w. Armstrong and all Others
ON the ticket. are worthy OF the sup
port of all leading men.
That Is about all have to saw on
The subject and | feel confident that
what | have said will be indorsed nv
every laboring man who participated
In the Democratic primaries"
