over the county roads ought to be
an anti ring" man because Of their
condition. He then introduced Harris

county.
Harris Hits a.RinE.s
Speaking Of a letter which Pool IS
sued TO the voters about the roads,
Harris said: Pool evidently did not
know what somebody else wrote in
that letter What does VIII Burgess
know about roads-$l2,000, that's all
he knows"
Harris went on to tell how he could
take the money that has been spent
out Of the 100000 bond issue, build a
Bltulthlc road for the north loop, re-
surface the road to Anthony and Fa-
bens and still have left enough county
road money to pay TIrney and Burgess
$4,000 to represent Zack White and
Henry Kelly and still have $4,000 for a
tombstone for Pool in Evergreen Gem
etery."
The county engineer tells you TO
vote for Pool Yes, he Is drawing $3.50
a month as county surveyor and the
county is paying. $500 a month add
UiOnal for road engineer to do his
work When elected I promise you
to cut that off. / would chop off J.
d. POnder's $50 a month as paymaster,
when he is drawing $1,000 year as
treasurer I would stop paying the
sheriffs department for a road guard
when a motorcycle man is also paid
$50 a month by the county and draws
down 81 for every conviction Don
Domingo MOntOya would not get $50
as Interpreter when the Htigants pay
for it. A warrant for SIS a month for
night Waterman for. the court house {
will also be cut off. unless he is there |
on the job If 1 am elected no man in !
this county Will tell me what TO do. !
II I go in I am going into those books I

Judge Jackson sarcastically referred i
10 the FL Paso Times for keeping so /

er the tutelage Of Henry Kelly, until
the county had S550,O00 with which TO
,uy a court house
Has Good Precedent.
