the officials. The grand jury has no
right to make a report OF that kind.
They have violated the laws themselves
and now they are trying to push it
down the threats of the good people of
Ell Paso. If the city officials are in on
this crOOkedness the grand jurors
haven't done their duty and indicted
them
THE grand jury is getting $50 a day
for Investigating things they have no
shadow of a right to investigate. They
are wasting the county's money. Why,
I understand that today they pulled
people up there to find out whether or
not they had taken out their final
naturalization papers. It makes no diff
ference one way or the other whether
they have or haven't. If they have been
here six months and have expressed in
tentiOn to become citizens. they are
fully within their rights, and this grand
jury has no right to make an investiga-
ton along that line.
Says Jurors Should Be Indicted.
when two of the grand jurors, Dick
Dudley and T. W. ArdOin, went before
the commissioners court and said that
they were going to Investigate Joe Es-
cajeda's office regarding some fees, Dan
jackson did not see fit to call upon
them to tell why they we're divulging
secrets of the grand jury. If they do
their duty, Jackson will investigate and
the other members of the grand jury
will indict Dudley and Ardoin.
That grand jury has made partisan
report that they cannot make under the
law The ants claimed all the extra
poll taxes and, when they saw they
couldn't get them, the grand jury tries
to throw them out.
IF there is any cFOokedness in this.
it is not all on one side; there are a few
practical politicians on the other side.
I'm not trying to cover up any at
tempt at Illegal poll tax paying but I
am opposed to an attempt to bulldOze
and SANDER men who are running for
office. and that's what the grand jury
report does
"NO Cause to BIush"-Burges.
we are going to do. nothing at the
election that will make anyone blush
with shame said w II. Burgess. the
next speaker. I'VE haven't done it be
fore and we are not going to do it
noW-and we won't let anybody else do
II You can't steal an election under
the Terrell election law. We know. be-
cause they couldn't steal it last time.
Ihey couldn't even steal it with all the
election machinery in their hands and
what they couldn't and wouldn't do, the
Lord knows nobody else would do.
Kelly IS the mayor of FL PasO. He
is on the job and working all the time
and anyone that says that he is not the
mayor; that there is another real NAV
or is entitled to a ticket to a home for
the weak minded without any further
examination.
Refers to Sweeney.
at fought side by side with Joe
Sweeney and I now ask him to state
whether I ever had any deals with
him as mayor except such as were
open and above board. And 1 want
to say that with Kelly, except for an
open and above board meeting with
the city council. at which I asked that
the name Of the gas company be
changed, I have never had one min
ute's business with him or the city
council The statements they have
made have been made with malice and
hatred. And there is not one of them
that has had the courage to sign their
advertisements in which these state
ments were made. I defy any man
here to show me where they have
signed one Of their advertisements or
answered one OF the questions asked
by signed statements of mayor Kelly.
