the ring to perpetUate itself in office.
Judge Clark stated that the fact OF
being a candidate for office on the

sleeping four years with his head on
the peoples pocket book.
There was judge COldwell, and judge
Edwards who also delivered addresses
at that meeting. Judge Edwards said
that I could tell a good story. If the
people of FL Paso have laughed, they
have laughed with me and not at
me-"
He spoke about the ring making the
assertion that the ants had some Re-
publicans on the ticket, and said ne

benefit OF Jim Gaal-

"Coldweu said that Price had never
run for office before I find that he
made the race for city recorder when
NealOn was out for mayor. The result
of the election showed that out of the
$500 votes pOlled, 500 were for Price,
so the judge was not far wrong-he
did not run much.
This is your campaign, and il you
have got any suggestions to make,
come in and make them. I am going
to fight those. fellows until die l

On March 3, of the same year, at the
meeting which was held in the Craw-
ford theater, NealOn was said to have
made some reference to the fact that
while the tinkling bells of the street
cars had been relegated to the adobe
house period the bell II the political
boss in the drug store could still be
