Predicts 10000 Plurality in Indiana
and $4,000 in Ohio.
New York, Oct. 21.-Rev. DIT.

John Wesley Hill, pastor of the Met
ropolitan Temple. who has spenN the
last few weeks campaigning ~ the
west with Taft, has returned to New
York. convinced, he said, that hSTe
would be a Republican victory In the
coming election. DR.. Hill said that
Mr.. Taft's western tour had greatly
his strength in that part of
the country, especially with the farm
ers and working classes.
He predicted that Indiana would
go for Taft by 10000 plurality and
Ohio by 1000. SO far as he could
see. there was no apathy out west
nothing but enthusiasm all along the
line for Taft.
Taft will carry Nebraska" DR..
Hill went on to say. "He Is very
popular there, as well as in Wiscon-
sin. Illinois, Minnesota and the D2ko-
tas."

licences and equipped with fire
hydrants to protect the city from
fire, and the city owns the plant
and has it in full operation.
A year ago the town had no fire
department. Today it boasts of a
volunteer fire organization, with
hose company and truck and
ladder company, which viii soon
be one of the best equipped in the
state.
And in addition to the many
great things which have been ac-
complished IN Brownsville during
the sixteen years of The Herald s
existence, the city has the splendid
prospect of the early construction
of an international railroad bridge
which will span the Rio Grande at
this point and make Brownsville
the gateway to the United States
on the shortest rail line between
this country and Mexico.
Thus, all The Herald's glowing
predictions are rapidly being re
allied. With its first issue, The
Herald announced that it had
" come to staay," and it has stayed
with Brownsville through perhaps
the most trying period of the
eity's existence and witnessed its
triumph. That it has been able
to stay, The Herald feels is large
ly due to the cordial support
which the good people of Browns
vile have extended to it, and on
this, its sixteenth anniversary, it
is proud to extend its warm and
heartfelt thanks to them.
And In conclusion, The Herald
would ask for continuance of
the same support, which it will en-
deavor to merit. The next ami
versary of the paper, should the
hopes of the management be re-
allied, Will find it enlarged and
taking press dispatches. The pro-
cession is moving on in this region
of great possibilities, and The Her
aid will do its utmost to keep up
with the pace which it has done
its best to promote.

SWEET SIXTEEN.

Just sixteen years ago today
The Daily Herald made its first
bow to the reading public of
Brownsville and the lower Rio
Grande valley. Subscribers were
Few and the outlook for the little
five-column sheet was not of the
brightest hue, when its salutatory
was made. But with its first
breath The Herald began to sing
the praises of this fertile, sun
kissed lower Rio Grande valley,
and it continued to declare that
only capital and enterprise to
build irrigating canals and a rail
road were needed to make it
'eblossom as the rose" Many peo-
pie here in those days were wont
to laugh at The Herald s rose col
ored predictions for It's chosen
country.
Lets see what yarns The Her
aid has today about the country, "
many would say, as they opened
the evening paper. And more
than one remarked to the editor
that The Herald was misleading
outside readers in publishing such
glowing articles about the great
possibilities of this soil and eli
mate.
When The Herald first an
nounced that canal was about to
be built at Brownsville five or six
years ago, which would be 120
feet wide, one reader called the at
tention Of the editor TO the typo
graphical error" as he called it.
You surely meant IL feet wide,
didn t you?" he queried.
But the canal was constructed |
and all Brownsville went out and |
saw the hundreds of men
scraping out canal that is ac-
tually 120 feet wide, and many |
miles long. And now there are
over twenty irrigating canals in
operation within sixty miles of |
Brownsville.
Many of the old timers, who had |
been disappointed before in their
hopes Of getting a railroad built
10 Brownsville, used to declare
they would never believe that
railroad would come to Browns
vile until they saw the track with
trains running on it. One prOmin-
ent man who was here then de-
clared there was a book in which
was written the names of all
places on the earth which had
railroads or would have one. and
that Brownsville and Matamoros
were not among the number. But
four years ago, the st. Louis,
Brownsville & Mexico railroad ran
its first regular train through to
Brownsville, and today is running
daily trains to this city from Hous-
ton. Four years ago there were
no products exported from this
valley, yet during the season just
ended nearly a thousand cars of
truck were shipped over the
road
A little over a year ago, The
Herald was agitating the building
