MEXICANS READY
70 March Up To The Polls
And Exercise The Inalien-
able Right Of Selling
themselves

/ While New York and the other east
.rn states can boast of such orators
a., BRYAN. Hill, Sulzer and numerous
! others they have not got all the ora
! tory in the democratic party by any
means. FL Paso is five hundred miles
from Texas but she is not entirely
without orators as was proved at the
TO factional democratic meetings last
light.
The hard fight seems to be on the
race for sheriff. and one not acquainted
with the methods of procedure here
would he surprised at the earnest work
the friends OF the two candidates are
doing for their men.
The Ten Eyck faction met at the
headuuarter corral in the rear OF the
Palace theater last night and loving
" mingled with the native pelados un-
til the wee hours. Speech making was
the leading feature while beer drink
ing was probably the chief attraction
After all had had enough To make
them good fellows" the orators were
given full sway.
Amonp the orators wore the notori-
ous Pat and Jim Dwyer and others too
numerous To- mention. Pat introduced
himself and in broken Gringo-Pelado
lingo. words inserted alternately. he
told the largely Mexican audience
what clever fellow Ten Eyck was and
what a walk-over they would have at
the primaries tonight. The audience
drenched down Pats speech with XXX
Pearl and then Jim Dwyer introduced
himself and made a typical Patrick
Henry address. Just as he was soar
ing into the skies with denunciations
of the Boone and Patterson factions.
Charlie Patterson strode into the cor
raj. Charlie was invited. he said. and
was there to pay social call. He
took seat and was quiet as could he
until Dwyer. in following his prear-
ranged program, attacked him fiercely.
The Pattersons are done for" he
said at the top of his voice. We will
finish Patterson and Boone at the next
primaries. | will meet the hombre and
demand him to give an account of
himself
arose and said: Il will meet you now.
Dwyer invited him to take the stand.
Charlie was telling them all about it
in that many seconds but he didn't
talk long. Colonel Dwyer and his reg
iment of Greasers set up yell that
would have frightened old Geronimo
himself and If Charlie said anything
more no one could swear to it.
Charlie quit the stand and drawing
certified check for $500 out of his
pocket shook it in Dwyer's face and Of
| fered To- wager that amount that Boone
would carry the first ward and the
county on top of it. Dwyer was busy
tickling greasers in the ribs and pass
ing beer and did not hear it. The band
struck up an international air to cheer
the wild crowds and Charlie had to
vamoose.
Over at the Boone corral things were
equally as lively. They have two cor
rails. one at the Bonanza saloon and
the other at the Cinco de Mayo saloon
ON South stanton street. Orators were
plentiful and enthusiasm and beer
flowed in rivers.
Charlie Patterson. Ike Aid ote. Mr..
Boone and others made enthusiastic
speeches at both the meetings and
most of the proceedings at the Ten
Eyck meeting We're repeated.
All the Interested parties are hard
at work today preparing for the eli
max tonight. \ touching little com

According to reports bad blood ex-
