It is not intended by the club to pre-
sent these matters TO the morning pa

per seems, as usual, TO be wrong IN Its
advocacy OF what is best for the peO-
pie OF FL Paso county, Texas.
The further objection to asking the
assistance or even publication of any
fact by the morning paper Is that to
address communication to that pa
per. we would have to do so without
being informed as to who controls that
paper as to its publication and policy.
Such communication would probably

ment Of the principles and facts pre-
scented in circular form 10 the voters
Of the city ana county Of FL Paso
The call has been signed by a num-
Der OF lawyers as well as a larger
number Of laymen and is still receiving
signatures No attempt has been made
TO obtain numerous signatures to the
call. as the club, in presenting the
prineiples and facts. relies more upon
the Justice Of the cause and the need
OF the reforms advocated than upon
the number Of people who may advo-
cate same through the medium OF this
club.
The call, which is incorporated in the
circular referred TO. states In no IN
certain terms the purposes OF the or
ganizatiOn Of the club. It is intended
by the Issuance OF this circular 70 reach
possible and through that means in
vote.
Has No CandIdates.
II VIII be observed that il is not the
purpose OF the club to induce voters TO

marles, except that the club does most
emphatically oppose "the ring" and its
