NOT AFTER EITHER JOB.


Editor FL Paso Herald:
Your paper yesterday contained a
statement concerning the retirement
of the present park commissioner from
the office now held by him and stating
that it was reported that the under
signed would be eletced to succeed
him, having been promised a position
as soon as one could be found or made
for him. Last November your paper
contained a similar statement concern
ing the retirement of the street COM
missioner and the election of the IN
derSigned to fill his place.
I wish to respectfully state that
there was no foundation whatever for
either report have not been an ap-
pl;cant for either of the positions
named or any other political office,
am not now an applicant and have no
expectation of applying for either of
these offices or any other and the sug-
gestion or Implication that I am hang
ing around waiting for a political job
of any kind does me an injustice, which
I am sure you will be willing to COR
