PREPARING VEGETABLES FOR Ia


Vegetables of any kind should be put
into fast-boiling water. and placed on the
hottest part of the range until they boil
again, and then continue to boil steadily.
Green peas should be gathered, If possible,
just before using. Boil them twenty or
twenty-five minutes, according to age.

Editor Mason Herald:
Apropos of the triangular race
of the aspirants in this congress
siOnal district perhaps a few ret
respective facts would assist the
careful citizen in deciding just
what course to pursue in order to
determine what choice be made
between the respective candi-
dates.
Without attempting to add or
detract from any mans views, or
principles adopted by party; pre-.
Stunning at this time few people
will change from fixed views on
questions of moment to the cam
paign. We will note the plain
facts, that since NOonan as the
Republican candidate, Slayden
as the Democratic candidate, and
McRae as the Peoples candidate,
from among these must be chOs-
en- our next congressman. Mr..
NOOnan is the gold standard can
didate while Slayden and McRae
are for free silver, and it is plain
ly evident that all the refOrmers
will give preference to either of
the latter two candidates over
NOonan, and since the choice is

one of the latter the question is:
(which of the two?"
We find the tendency of gold
standard Democrats is to favor
NOOnan and indeed, numbers
have informed the writer of their
intention to support him which
if they do, will detract from the
strength of the Democratic nom
inee, who could scarcely be elect
ed even with the entire Demo
cratic vote. Hence this detrac-
ton throws the choice between
NOOnan and McRae, with no pos
sible chance for Slayden.
We find in quite an extended
tour over the district that POpu-
lists all hold this view, but the
silver Democrats unlike the gold
Democrats, seem to prefer to
stay with their candidate even
though their vote results indirect
ly in the election of a gold stand
ard man.
1t behooves us as people fight,
ing for a principle to study the
resulting conditions of our action
and at this critical moment, strike
blows that will count, rather
than throw strength to the enc
my or remain passive.

NOTES OF THE CONGRESS.
SIGNAL CAMPAIGN.

The news from all over the dis
trict in favor of Judge NoOnan
is splendid. The Judge has lost
no ground, on the other hand
the prospect is that he will come
to Bexar county with a handsome
plurality.
The apparent inactivity of
Judge NOonan's campaign COM
mittee has caused some uneasi-
ness, but the truth is, the Judge
has made a much better canvass
than last time and the people are
with him.
For the first time in his life
Judge NOOnan is experiencing
the use of falsehoOd against him,
but the people among whom he
has lived and served for these
many years will not be moved bv
misrepresentation.
At the last election Judge Moo
nan was opposed by Gus HOus-
ton, one of the ablest Democrats
in the district; a man trained in
political warfare; but Houston
was beaten in a Democratic dis
trict.
Houston carried around with
San Antonio daily light. [volume] (San Antonio, Tex.) 1886-1907, 1896-10-18

him the OdOr of the busted Nave
rick bank, and it did not smell
sweet in the nostrils Of the peO-
pie.
Slayden is no match for HOus-
ton, either in ability or acquain;-
ance with the political questions
of the day.
Slayden carries around with
him the fresh smell of a busted
firm. He jumps from bankrupt
CIV into the race for congress.
Houston was only the assignee
of the Maverick bank. Slayden
is q member of the RObards firm.
Evidently Slayden considers
his bankruptcy as a graduating
process into the free silver craze.
Business "bust"-the land 10
"bust"-its all of a kind.
Do the people of the 10Th dis
trict want to swap Judge NOOnan
for a member of a recently bank
rupt brOking concern? We think
not.
