.,.lns and progressive little city aud
.osn and interviewed men from
ny -.,ons OF Guadalupe county, | do net

,.,r forecast the way this county viii
M scott.Garner congressional fight

su s.o,pt Of work that is done between

Il u the republicans that they will

d l..,,v ia the merest tommyrot, The
4 .nt conditions can not possibly be so
Il 100 as to furnish an intelligent rea
Il ,or such claim.
n I. ~ election had been held two months
,rsa six weeks ago, Scott would have

vere more or less disappointed IT
3sD,,or Dibrell not having received the
'-s.rstlc nomination. But above all
s..s senator Dlbrell has led the Garner

MI ali superfuous garments ana IRON
~ md Of Guadalupe to the other ne mas
H.s,SSed pure democracy to large crowds
I'M telling effect He Is billed to con.
\ sas bis speaking up to the very day of
TsSnty Judge weinert, who is now

4-sshes Judge WeiDert is one of the
m Informed men in this section OF the
F1te He told me this morning that while
4 month ago Judge Garner stood but little
IN Of carrying the county, today ne has
Xs.e than an even chance and will poll
4 full party vote, II not more. Mr.. w.

8aocrsts are perhaps better organized

4 d far as l have been able to learn Judge
IN Saturday, Is the only republican slated
make a Scott speech between now and
a, election The local republican commit
4 was challenged for division Of time
b Judge Ogden. The challenge was &C.
1,ted and a local democrat, yet to be
ssen will answer Judge Ogden.
DIBRELL FOOLED EN-.
HI far as have been able to learn the
4 reason that the republicans have been
Naming this county Is because It is the
sns Of Senator Dbrell They have been
Rlhng upon Senator Dbrell maintaining
4 flenCe throughout the campaign. Sen
NJ Dibren permitted them to labor under
4.
~ magnificent reason for MS dong
I'll Thinking that Senator Dibrell was
sd the simon pure democratic consist.
n! and figuring that he would i'm mega
II way night Garner, the loca, republicans
MID to perfect "A working organization.
Il The right time Senator Dihrell spoke
II and in n no uncertain manner This
&Hv the local republicans flto pane.
La at once began to collect their hosts.
&iny who had been counted upon STAN
Ma at the first gun fred BY senator
3hfer The few who rallied to their
4igs call are still in semi-dlsorganized
4Ihe German voters-the German element
\ Guadalupe will not vote ms n phlllnN
IL year They are more or less divided
Mons themselves. When the silver<ques
n was paramount, to a man they rallied
Sc support of the sound money ticket
4Hln by over 100 votes. Two years ago
1hea Mr.. kleberg announced he favored
4 Y silver he lost the county by 93 votes
&Bat the German element are Just as
#inimouslv opposed to Imperialism as
M were to free silver. Mr. Scott is
tnfplly silent upon this subject Judge
Bimer and those democrats who have
&sen IN this county have denounced the
& fefiallstic policy of the republican party
"A these donunclatlons the speakers hnl 9
n the full sympathy Of the American citi
&N Of German descent. With free silver
Il On issue the German speaking voters
"A very likely to speak ont in bold terms
n the imperialistic policy Of the Tepub-
ner They know exactly what IMPERIAL
IA means. and they wish to steer this
#XtIy from the traps and pitfalls they
&ttheir sircs encountered In Europe
n u 'he recent debate held here between
81 Ternor Hogg and United states District
&torney Atwell Of Dallas the issue If i'm
Il lalism was the only ono discussed. In
Il Ternaculer Of the street, Governor
#sg chewed M Atwell until there was
H Thing left Of him. This debate unques.
& hshly made many Garner votes
s far as I have been able to see. Flu
Mo Note and possibly one or two others
n the only republicans here who have
&leited any political sagacity In Mr.
Holts behalf. Mr.. Nolte is the repuh-
8an candidate for State treasurer, He
a receive a large majority Of the votes
Il IN this county. His personal popu-
XaE extends through all classes He is
&ag OIL that a man can honestly do for
Hsse Garner's opponent But Mr. Nolte
y aot able to throw the vote of this county
as man, His close personal friends are
sslng against him and are blocking
~ Scott move he makes. Then, again,
n Nolte Is a man Of large private AFFAIRS
h mas now under way some Of the big
n Industrial moves ever made In this
r lon But the way the supporters Of
we Garner are up and doing counteracts
n EFFORTS the republicans make.
