THE BROWNSVILLE HERALD says
that the Dibbrell people admit

tual rqual. Probably The HERALD
has read the papers closer than
we, but we would like to ask when
and where such admissions made
The other fellows when they are
candid with themselves know that
such talk is absurd. There is no
doubt that Judge Garner has re-
ceived the favor OF the politicians
and that he Is one of the smooth

Texas. But these are not the only
qualities needed at Washington

The papers containing the
editorials commencing the two

nomination in this district ss be-
ing well matched in point Of
ability have naturally not been
saved from the exchange waste
basket, but THE HERALD has from
time to time quoted or referred to
statements of that character from
various exchanges. Chief among
them were the Corpus Christi pa
pers which were unanimously in
favor of Dibbrell, but not one of
which has said harsh word
against Garner. The ability of the
latter has been demOnstratedNln the

been chosen TO represent his dis

recognition of his abilities from
