as and TO this end we instruct for him
to be reelected as state chairman.
Resolved, That we heartily endorse
the candidacy for governor of the hon
orabIe J. o. Terrell of San Antonio,
native son Of Texas; a man of eXcep-
tionaly high standing as a lawyer and
in business circles; and a statesman
who. as governor, would be working
solely for Texas instead of for higher
office for hipself.
Resolved, That we favor local option,
and strict regulation of the liquor traf-
fic in conformity with the spirit of ex-
listing laws.
Democratic Methods Condemned
Resolved. That we condemn the i'm
proper political machine methods by
which a few individuals in the Demo-
cratic party have perDetuated them
selves in public office term after term
against the desires even of a strong ell
ement in their own party, who are as
efectuaIly disbarred by such methods
from exercising the right of selfgOvern-
ment and free choice as if they were
members of an opposition and minority
party.
Guess Who This Is.
Resolved, Tha5 We condemn without
reservation the action of an Officehold-
er, now a candidate for reelection, IN
giving the cOuntenance of his presence,
ing manager to the carrying on in Juar-
ez, Mexico, of keno games, which are
. outlawed in Texas. and which are ev-
erywhere recognized as destructive of
the morals OF young and old and sub
versive of every principle of business
honesty and personal integrity.
Want Books Audited.
Resolved, That We demand a thor
ough audit of the books of the county
lno CT rx-ira X
perienced, independent, nOn-political
auditors the reports of said auditors
10 become public records as soon as rem
dered.
In local affairs we believe that the
people Should have a say, and therefore
We strongly condemn the system OF
bossism by which this county is at pres
ent governed. No matter how good and
honest the officeholders individually
may be, when they take orders from the
boss instead of from their constituents
at large, popular government becomes
a farce And we offer TO the voters OF
FL Paso county as candidates for vari-
Gus offices clean men who will perform
the duties of their respective positions
with an eye single TO the good of the
people who elected them, having no
strings tied TO them, and wearing the
collar of no boss or ring.
Resolved, That we favor electing to
office men who will put their duty to
the public above all other consideTa-
tions and will not demean their office
by engaging in, or countenancing, acts
across the border that are outlawed in
Texas; and all the candidates of the Re
publican party, if elected, stand pledged
to give the public service their first
and best attention at all times
