quit, and Would Meet
Cobb if Latter Was Anti
Ring Representative.

W H Burgess declined to accept the
invitation of z. L Cobb to meet him
in debate on the relative merits Of
CoIquitt and WoIters as against Ram
sey and Sheppard for the governorship
and senatorship respectively. Cobb is
for Ramsey and Sheppard and sug-
gested that Mr. Burgess meet him
vance the interests of his friends, Col
quit and Wolters. Mr.. Burgess admits
that he is supporting COlqultt and
" offers, but declines TO meet Mr.. Cobb,
giving as his reason that Cobb dis
claims to represent the anti-ring, yet
wished to discuss the merits of the
anti candidates at the same time the
gubernatOrial and senatorial questions
are debated. Mr.. Cobb today directed a
letter to Mr. Burgess agreeing to elm
mate local politics from the discus
sion if Mr.. Burgess would agree to
meet him in debate upon the guberna-
torial and senatorial questions. Mr..
Burgess insists that as Mr.. Cobb admits
that he does not represent any local
organization, he will not debate with
him, but in both letters expresses a
Willingness to meet Mr.. Cobb If the

A dispatch from Mexico City sd

A dispatch from Mexico city says
"Gonzalo Enrile, former financial
agent of Crozco. will not be extradited
from the United States. The minister
OF foreign affairs said today no
grounds were found which would be
accepted by the American govern
ment."
No advice of the action of the Mex
lean foreign office in the Enrile case
has been received in FL Paso by the
federal officials or by T. c. Lea, at
tOrney for Enrile. Enrile has now
been in the county Jail 81 days and,
unless a new complaint is filed against
him by the Mexican government, ne
will be released Sunday at the eXpira-
ton of the 40 days required by the
extradition treaty for holding a man
for extraditiOn without bond.
Although no specific charge is made
in the complaint, it is understood that
the Mexican government has attempt
ed to eXtradite Enrile on the charge
of embezlement in Connection with the
use of moving picture films of the
Mexican centennial.
Before being arrested he was
stabbed by unknown men in Chihua-
hua and since being arrested in FL
Paso he has been taken to the hos

burgess WILL DEBATE COBB # ANTI
RING ENDORSES GOBB'S CANDIDATES

that. am going to advocate the de-
feat of the ring ticket locally As
you object to a debate upon the local
contest, and as it was to be merely
incidental, now suggest that we elm
mate all local candidates and have a
COIquitt-Ramsey and Wolters-Shep-
pard debate.
I have no influence with the anti
ring organization, and could not ask
them TO declare for state candidates.
Besides il would be manifestly i'm
proper for them to follow in the blum
dering footsteps Of the ring, by under
taking to dictate who the people
should vote for for governor and SEN
atOr.
For instance: The Iaboring people
of Il Paso deeply resent the action
of the ring in attempting TO force Col
quit upon them, ColqUitt being the
worst enemy of labor that has ever
been governor of Texas. The laborinS
people refused to be blinded into
voting for their arch enemy, because
they believe, with the great majority
of the thinking people Of Texas, that
there are more vital issues in this
campaign than the liquor question
The thoughtful anti prOhibitionistS
over the state realize that the extreme
attitude of COlquitt on the liquor ques-
ion is doing more than anything else
to agitate prohibition
To further illustrate: A majority OF
the lawyers 81 FL Paso, being mostly
anti prohibiti0Eists. are going to vote
for Ramsey. They know judge Ram
sey to be an ADLER and better man
than governor Colquitt, yet it would
be improper fer the lawyers to at
tempt to dictate that the people vote
for judge Ramsey.
The people OF FL Paso are tired of d
few men debating who the vote OF
this county shall be cast for in state
elections. Our good people are as
clean and as intelligent as the people
in other parts of the state There
fore. boss rule must stop in FL Paso.
1t is this Blessing disposition that has
led to the weakness of the ring. Some

Burges,s First .Answer.

Mr.. Burgess letter in reply to Mr..
CObb'S first offer, received by Mr.. CoDD
Wednesday afternoon. follows; 800
FL PasO, Texas, June IL, 1912.
NV Dear cobb: Your letter Of this
date is before me. You are quite right
way lead to any diminhtion of our per-
sonal friendship.
I had understood that you were go
ing to make a speech in FL Paso be-
fore the primaries for judge Ramsey
for governor and Norris Sheppard for
senator. and presumed that you would
not fail to use your efforts to accom-
plish the defeat of what you describe
misinformed as to my having been Sc
lected to reply to you, for such IS not
the case.
You are in error in assuming that
am the leading local representative of
governor Colquitt or Col. Jake VOL
tiers, as 1 am not representative OF
either; however the views they enter
tain are going to cause me to vote for
them even against my friend, Morris
Sheppard, and my very good friend,
judge Ramsey.
You are also in error in your very
complimentary statement that am
the brains of the ring; 1 am simply a
private in its fighting ranks.
In view of the fact, however, that
you are not a member of the anti-rinS
organization and that they are not re-
spOnsible for your Views, and in view
of the fact that the candidates on the
socalled ring ticket will be held re-
sponsible, more or less. for anything
that I say, it is manifestly improper
for me and unjust to them to meet IN
joint debate one for whose words and
deeds their opponents sare in no way
responsible.
II the candidates on the anti-ring
ticket will avow their allegiance to
judge Ramsey and Morris Sheppard
and their advocacy of the views on
which those gentlemen are making the
state campaign and will authorize you
to speak for them locally, I think we
shall have no difficulty whatever in
arranging a joint meeting upon terms
entirely satisfactory to us and to those
whom we may then represent.
1 am, Sincerely your friend,
VIM. II. Burgess.

e. L Cobb, City:
Nv Dear Cobb: Your letter of this
date has just reached me-
A careful reading of the letter dis
closes that the real issue at last to
be discussed at any joint meeting
would be local politics.
I have no disposition to enter into a
discussion of the issues in the state
campaign. The same reasons exist
today that existed yesterday for not
meeting in joint debate one who de-
clares that he does not speak for the
opponents of those for whom should
speak were I to meet you, and who,
apparently, are not willing to author
lie you to speak for them They
seemed to be willing to do this at the
FL PasO county convention, since held
by the courts to have been illegal, and
they. undoubtedly selected you to speak
for them at Houston. If they are still
willing to espouse the cause for which
you speak, and which they seem to
have championed at Houston, and will
so declare and authorize you to speak
for them, I will again say we shall
have no difficulty in arranging a meet
ing; otherwise I don't care to par
ticipate.

DEMOCRATS SEE FATE.

What right the democrats have in
raising howl through their organ to
the effect that the Roosevelt movemen.
is stalwart move, can not be imacin-
ed, unless it is that they themselves see
their fate. They have enough to COIL
tend with in their own ranks, tut as
usual are scouting about and becoming
interested in the affairs of others, prob.
ably this time because they see their
fate in the Roosevelt movement. The
fact that insurgents and stalwarts
alike have adopted the Roosevelt move.
ment on basis of unity is becoming
more evident every day, and because
Congressman Hanna is in the right in
his support of Roosevelt does not make
it any more Of a stalwart move, than
the fact that Governor Stubs of Kan
sas, who has always been a progress
sive, makes it an insurgent move. The
fact is, the movement is of such large
proportions that it's dimensions can lot
be conceived by the democrats and it
is because of this that they are ram
sacting their brains to find some place
to put the blame. The Roosevelt move
ment is for Roosevelt and progress.
1t is not for the stalwarts, not for the
insurgents, not for Congressman Hanna,
or anybody else. It is because the dem
ocrats are now at sea that they would
put the garb Of stalwartism on the
movement, the handwriting on the wall
is becoming far more visible than
they care to imagine.
