Is Roger Sullivan a boss?
Well, isn't hei
7 county Democratic chairman That en-
! tails LOYALTY to the party At a primary
held soon after Kelly was nominated,
did Lea support him? No. He went out
and helped the organization that was
formed to fight him. If man will
violate his trust because he does not
favor another man, is he the man for the
mayors position VIII he support
I Kelly this time if Kelly is nominated?

ago?

! opposition I leave it to lis partner,
| John G. McGrady. if that could be done

not he do an illegal act when he has
many times the power, such as in the
! position of mayor?
AssailH Grand Jury.
kelly has enforced the law and he
will enforce it for the next two years.
There is as much difference between
his enforcement of the law and that
political organization known as the
grand jury, as there is between day
and night. On January u they indicted
a man who had been dead for two
months. He was H. Peterson and they
charged that ne had made a false affi-
davit of his place Of residence. went
to the place where he had lived and
found that he had lived there when he
was alive. He worked out on the
county road on steam roller when he
was not at hOme-and they can't stand
for steam rollers.
Gentlemen, ordinary political ami
/ mOsities are supposed to stop at the
grave. I know of only three things
that follow men beyond the grave
vultures, hyenas and political grand
juries.
Takes Rap at Joe Dunno.
THAT grand jury would not any
more think of going out after anti
ring men than it would of butting its
! brains out. But I have a few facts
and figures myself. There is Daniel
I Diaz, chauffeur for the ex-honOrable
I citizen, Joe Dunno. Joe Dunno was
l kicked out of our organization. His
! chaUffeur's poll tax certificate is No.

And there is A. J. Quintana, who
! has served a long jail sentence. He
I has regular poll tax and have 81
/ others here on my list Gentlemen. If
they have been indicted, 1t was late
( this afternoon.
Attacks Burt OrndOrff.
Il am a friend of Burt Orndorff and
! I do not think that he would do an
lAlLEtiLAOAldl WI Oll6s b4L ub Is dllA4uuS
/ to vote in the city and gives his
residence as the Sheldon, while a
short time ago he wrote to the city
school board saying that he was out
side the city limits and would like to
/ get a reduction in taxes Why don't
they irdict him2 Understand me, ]
don't think that Mr.. OrndOrff intended
! any wrong, but he knew just as much
as some Of those poor Mexicans they
are making such a fuss about Don't

dict a man who is one of the principal
financiers of your campaign
"On our side you have man who
fights in the open. If there is a man
way let him go to their camp; that's
where he belongs.
"Sever Pipe WilfulIy Broken
81 went to the garbage disposal plant
to make an inspection and 1 wan to
tell You that, some time between clos
ms Saturday night and opening Mon
day morning, that big sewer pipe was
Wilfully broken. I make no charges
1 am simply stating the facts.
Then you were shown a picture OF
q garbage wagon labeled wagon No.
g.. That is altogether a fake picture.
] admit the opposition may not have
done it, but if it benefits by it and does
not protest against the fake. it is draw
ing a mighty small line and one that
[ it is apt to slip over.
Defends Herbert Ward.
I'VE fight in the open. 1 doubt if
/ there is a cleaner, more honest man in
Ell Paso than Herbert Ward, yet they
Z insinuate that his drug store is con-
l troled by Kelly, implying that there is
| some crOOkedness in one or the other
or both. That implication is utterly
false and cowardly.
, There has been a lot of talk about
/ the schools and politics. 1 want to say
! that I have recently meddled in the
schools to this extent: Judge jackson
! came to me and asked me TO get
! cousin Of his appointed by the school
| board I asked Bob Holiday whether
if her credentials were satisfactory, the
/ board would appoint her. Rhey were
found to be excellent and the appoint
mcnt was made L understand that she
has been entirely satisfactory. regard
less of her relationship to Dan Jack
son, and III accept the full RESPONSE
bility for what 1 did.
The Turney and Burgess Fee.
For some time past there has been
a great deal said about a fee that had
been allowed to the firm of TurnCy
& Burgess. There is nothing 1 want
rs much as the good opinion of the peO-
pie Of El Paso. They have been good
TO me and their opinion is, to me, very
valuable.
Il want to make this clear: The firm
oc Turney & Burgess has not one cent
at stake whether that fee is allowed
or not. The state should have de-
Tended the suit without outside help
Texas did make an appropriation TO
/ defend the suit and the governor We
| toed it. Then some or the people OF
4 the county came to us and asked us
/ if we would represent them. We
/ agreed to and Mr.. Turney has taken
nearly all of his time for the last two
years with the suit Later it was
| suggested by the land owners that the
I county pay a part of the expenses of
the litigation in view of the fact that
/ the land was bringing in heavy enough
/ taxes and would enhance in value IN
/ the future, for the county to do this.
/ The people petitioned the commission
