il can be. Yet the city owes the same
duty to those people to keep the green
slime from their doors as 1t does TO
I those who live on the north side.
They show figures to prove that
more people had smallpox north of the
tracks than south of them. Maybe the
people north of the tracks bought more
chickens dressed at the pest house and
/ sold i'm the city. Think of that! That
is efficiency and safety first-ior the
man who is running the pest house.
Thank Anti Ring for Free Garbage.
During the last few days we have
had free garbage. You have the Coun-
I tv and City Democratic club to thank
| for that If the campaign had not
! been on you would be cussin' the scav-
/ enger man yet Iaughter)- The scav-
enger service is about as inefficient as
/ it can be and every man viii admit that
except those employed by the city 1
saw enough scaVenger wagons IN the
/ great political parade that they called
I the Pioneer day parade, to clean up the
whole city, but they don't do it.
Then they created the office of kick
! clerk They We're so busy electing
( themselves to office that they had to
! have a kick clerk to take the COM
! plants and they selected Charlie
| ton the telephone in the kick clerk s
office Will ring and a voice will say:
! Hello, Charlie
! Yes
This is Louie CBehr). We have
/ been kicked out
There was so much inefficiency and
trouble that they had to appoint a
! kick clerk to handle it. If, I am elected
/ and I find anyone putting off on kick
| clerk anything that needs attending to,
/ instead of attending to it himself, l
j viii have a talk with him.
| COerce Voters.

( No. no. no." from the crowd.
'Then put the stamp of disappTOval
| on such a practice next Tuesday
| Il knew of a cripple in this town and
/ there was an arrogant ring man over
] him. He was asked how he was going
J to vote and when he said he would vote
for me he was ordered out and is
/ walking the streets asking his friends
\ to vote for me to put the stamp of dis
I approval on this practice.
Corporations CCerced.
about this time before election you
hear of corporations telling their en-
plOyes to vote for the ring ticket /
will tell the heads of corporations,
| knowing their desire to give a square
! deal, that 1 don't believe these interests
| will insult their men by telling them
/ anything like that 1 may be mistaken
in some cases. The organization may
. have a hold on some, but l hope these
same employees will go and vote as they
please. There are some good men at
the head of the interests that are not
going to be coerced and will refuse to
take sides for a boss.
Don't split your ticket. 7 would
rather see the ring organization, go
into office down there than TO have my
self and a part of the ticket elected.
L want to go into office with these men
who will fight with me If am right
and fight against me if 1 am wrong.
Don't scratch the ticket Either put
Henry Kelly and his councilmen in the
city hall or Tom Lea and his council
men. I don't want a deadlock like
Adrian Pool has down there with the
county commissioners.
Don't Scratch Ticket.
q do not have a single interest but !
the interest of Ell PasO. Scratch the
second name each time ana put in the
anti ring-ticket from head to bottom.
They are all good men.
Men will come 10 you and want TO
join you in a swap Henry Kelly would
rather beat me than have any gift in
the power of the people. He made
threat that if l, Dan Jackson, or W. B.
Ware ran he would be compelled to
run against US. He knows that it would
mean his political death. Men are going
over the city offering to trade off GER
tain Of their candidates in exchange
for votes for the head of their ticket
A trade like that is never kept by the
other side. They will not keep their /
word. but will harken back to the voice |
Of the master who says Vote 'er |
straight
Burgess For Burgess.
Il do not dislike Billy Burgess. 7 ad
mire his intellect and brain. He is mad &
because we said he was the man behind !
the throne. But his heart never /
thrObhed i'm sympathy with humankind. |
Bill Burgess is for Bill Burgess and /
safety first He stood up before the
county and city employees here last I
night and told them that he was not |
going to steal the election. 1 hope not. |
They have told on the streets that they !
were going to steal the election. Yet I
they get smart. wiley Bill Burgess to /
come here and tell the people that they !
are not going to steal the election. !
There are honest God fearing men who /
viii go to the polls and see that the !
election is not stolen.
One Clean Election.
He talked about me as county chair /
man. There is no Importance to the /
office except to see to the purity OF the /
ballot. I ran on the ticket then IN 4
order to link my name with the man I /
lOVC-Dan Jackson. When called the /
county committee together. as county /
chairman, I used proxies and made it /
stick and ] have never heard a protest |
from the people of El Paso county.
The ring men were there with three |
or four proxies in their pockets but /
they were afraid to use them because |
we had the majority. l told them that |
that would be one election that would |
be conducted fairly and squareIy and |
7 was going to see to it. And it was a
square election. although a clean young
