stealing Of seat in the National Con.

from a man who was not a favorite

ton in the general results OF the cleo
ton: these practices, carried on a
little longer. in the name OF Democ.
racy-well. the temporary dethrone-
ment OF the grand old party In Texas
will not be far postponed. 1t Is good
to have giants strength; It is wrong
to use II as giant. The controlling
element at FL Paso could have acted
honestly and had an overwhelming
majority. They did not need to play
the political highwayman. But that's
what was done. They sowed bad seed !;
they will reap bad harvest, in due
time. San Antonio. 1912, was BAD;
Ell Paso, 1914, was VTLLAINoUS!
Real Democracy is synonymous with
honesty. The grand old party In Tex
as does not deserve such ignominy as
II has to bear because OF the coarse
brutal, vicious work of the rough
riders OF the last two State conven,
lions, done In It's namel
