us to lose" said c. A. Kline, who was
nominated for city treasurer by E. D.
! Skinner. Il am proud to be associated
with the men on this ticket who are
not politicians and who are not office
seekers. The names on this ticket
insure a real business administration
of the city's affairs. We, as candi-
dates, expect to do our duty but VIC
can't do it all alone. You have up to
January 81 to pay your poll tax. Just

confidence I have in Them" said Paul
Thomas, whose name was put in nomi-

Gene Harris Speaks.
4 want TO say amen to everything
that judge jackson has said,'' said
Eugene Harris. "And I want to say
that If Tom Lea is a crook I'm going
to vote for crook and a crook viii
be the next mayor. If these men are
crooks then crooks won't be able to
fool them, because they viii be onto
the game.
IF we elect this ticket the officers
will start in to do what the county
commissioners, who are not under
ring, domination are doing. The peo-
pie OF FL PasO county are being given
a business administration and the
commissioners only disturb Pool to
make him put the motion. [ feel GER

the people genuine business admin
