am a Democrat but I expect to
vote for u. 5. GOen, of FL PasO, for as
sOciate justice of the supreme court Of
Texas. He is local man of the high
est order of integrity and ability and I
feel that it viii be creditable both to
him and to this county to give him a
large complimentary vote.
OF course, I know he has no chance
to be elected, but on account of his
many worthy qualities, both as a man
and as a lawyer, L hope to see him run
largely ahead of his ticket in FL PasO
county. He is true to his friends,
faithful to his trusts and a highly de-
serving young man in every respect.
Yours truly,
