FOR COUNTY JUDGE.

Being satisfied that at each recur-
ring election the people are more and
more outspoken in favor Of non-par-
tizan judiciary. and that the judicial

with the strife and contention OF polit-
zeal parties, we hereby submit our
name to the voters of Bexar county,
Texas, irrespective OF party nominal
lions and make our announcement as
candidate for the Office Of county Judge
at the ensuing November election.

SHORT STOPS.
What the People Are Saying.

W hsS NA' NNii' @hhN ga
The call for a Republican county
convention to meet on the Goth of
this month, is being generally dis
cussed.
1t does seem like cheek for any po-
litical party organization to attempt
to put out a county ticket without
consulting the otficeholders combine.
There are plenty of people, good
honest people, who still cling to the
idea that there should be no politics
in local elections, and who believe
that they can best serve their cOuu-
try by allowing the Big Six or the
Little Four to run their local offices
for them.
But it would be a refreshing eXpe-
rience to see one genuine party coun-
ty ticket put before the people. 4 tick
ticket run without Doodle. so. if de-
est men.
1t would be Il relief to see Il gen.
uine Republican ticket announced; a
ticketrun without Doodle. so, if de.
feated, the candidates would be able
to say they were not bankruDted by
defeat.
Every local combine ticket is back.
ed by an electioneering fund that
means corruption of the ballot box.
The oath of Office should be printed
upon the back of every ballot. 1t is
high time the integrity of office should
be established and no man allowed
TO hold an office who has not prepared
himself to qualify for it.
No wonder our local governments
are run eXtravagantly; no wonder
there is loseness in Office when the
men who hold office regard lightly
the oath of office.
Let the Republicans hold n good
convention and put out ticket, il
will have the effect of clearing ur
the local political atmosphere.

impediments constantly used against US
by your department. If we are further de-
tered in this matter we shall not suffer
our name to be sacrificed without fun
explanation of all things and matters per
tanning thereto.
Feeling you will give the subject your
due attention, we shall be pleased 10 hear
from you at your earliest opportunity

E. Curtis, assistant secretary, and ran:
Bonds are issued only upon receipt at
this office of the original certificate, rep
