ELECTION CASES POSTPONED
UNTIL NEXT SEPTEMBER
Judge Hopkins Will Convene Special
Term Sept. 8. to Investigate the
Brownsville Elections.

The district court room in the
Cameron county court house was
filled to overflowing with attorney
and Witnesses when the hours ar
rived for calling the city election
cases which were set for yesterday
morning. There was an air of eX-
pectancy and here and there little
groups were engaged in earnest con-
ference.
Through some delay the case was
not ready until 1880 when Judge
Hopkins announced that the time
for the rest OF this term Of court
was SO short that he would be un-
able to hear the cases and that he
would convene special term on
Monday Sep, ember 8 for these cases.
All witnesses in the case were or
dered to appear before the court at
that time.
While the announcement came as
surprise to those present il was
evident that the cases could not be
finished at this term and the general
opinion commended the judge for his
action.
1t is understood that both side
were ready to go on with the case.

1861 was upon the integrity Of the
Union.
He cited the Iaudatory assertions
OF Roosevelt in 1908 and 1910 in re-
futation Of Roosevelts claim thai
Taft was unfit to succeed himself.
