El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1913-03-26

create it into an anaemic prissy, sissy
city like those some Of you left back
east
at takes big men to see big things
Little men see little things. There are
some who would look at a world re-
nOWned painting They would not see
the beautiful azure sky, or the won
derful coloring in the trees or land
scape, all they would see would be
fly speck on the canvas.
You can look at these men and their
deeds during the past four years and
find but little fault Here We have one
of the best cities in the United States
One reason is the kind of men you have
had in charge of your city government
Kelly and the New Yorkera
Two years ago a New York poll
tiCian came here and stopped off to
see Kelly. Last year the New York
commission went 10 san Francisco and
that man was with them They stopped
off here on their way back He wanted
TO show them all Kelly 1t cost him
about S25T to entertain them, but he
entertained them. While / was down
in Austin I saw BIZ Sterrett and he
told me of two other men that went
with him to san Antonio on a mission
Bill stopped at a big hotel The other
two hunted around for a two-bit room.
That is the kind Of men Kelly would
not attract
you have an oil contract here where
by the city Of Ell PasO gets oil cheaper
than any other Institution here. said
three years ago when Kelly went in as
mayor, that the city was lucky TO get
$4,000 a year man for $4,000. and he
with the men here has demonstrated IL
to a certainty.
Davis almost Overlooked
Mr.. McGhee said that Lamar Davis.
candidate for treasurer. had been al
most overlooked and the latter made
the shortest speech Of the evening az
ter he had been applauded. He said:
As the candidate for city treasurer, 1 !
want 20 say, il the city funds are en- !
trusted to my care there viii be no !
trouble in striking a balance any /
Brideers Reads The Herald
ALcGhee said that a motion to adjourn
would be in order. but there were cries /
lon had gone and McGhee said the mo- |
ton would then be entertained. However, |
there were cries for "Bridgers' and /
Bridgers responded in these words: I 4
have been particularly interested, be
cause I have been reading The Herald /
/ didn't know what a godly set OF men I
we had in FL Paso until I read OF the (
Citizens ticket in The Herald.
Judge Eylar said Kelly had spent /
1897 entertaining the New York com
mission. That was a mere ptttance- L /
" as on a trade excursion not long ago
and saw one Of the candidates on the (
Citizens ticket in the dining car there
The porter came in with 10 cents on a
tray. He stood off and looked at the
is cents, then looked at the candidate
me candidate looked at the 10 cents,
looked at the porter, looked back at
the 10 cents and picked IT up and put
it in his pocket. IL they practlce JhaI I
same kind Of economy, the city would
have an economical administration, but
Mr. Slater viii be disappointed IN the
building of some of these bOuleTards
ne has advocated, because the taNpag-
ers are going to paw for those boule-
Yards and not Mr.. Slater L don't be
lieve the people Of FL Paso are going
to believe everything they see in the
Herald.
'I read an account Of the speeches
made by candidates on the Cltlzens
ticket last night 1t seems that Mr.. Z
Dick was recently foreman OF the sranu
jury. He had a great personal RESPONSE
bility on his shoulders. He discovered
how few persons in El PasO respected
the law. I think he found that he ana
a few on the ticket with him were Jhe
only ones respecting The law Iney
say ali the laWbreakers are supporting I
the Democratic ticket If that IS so
don't see any reason for the Citizens
ticket running
They declared against violations OF
the election law. When Tom Lea had
endorsed that resolution he looked over
at Ike and asked How many votes
have YOU gotT You all know what
respecter OF election laws Ike Is I
don't believe any clique is running
things in EI PasO- believe the present
officers are in because the people have
when they see them and to keep them.
I don't believe Henry Kelly and the
others are going to be beaten by men
who have nothing on their minds but
poker games, and they cant even play
poker"
Here the meeting adjourned The
date Of the next meeting was not de-
cidcd.
alta, VISTANS TO MEET.
