for the first time in the history or that
organization, they stood nitched in the
county executive committee. They knew
that I was not afraid. They know that
if I am elected mayor, I will look oven
some things that have gone by and that
I will see If they are right before they
get by. There is some thing back of
this. They are fighting as they have
never fought before. They don't want
the people to know what the real con-

The Insurance Rebate.
Talk about efficiency and safety
first There are thousands of things
that they have not done that would lead
to efficiency in office. Charles 3.
Stevens has done more to get lower
insurance rate than any other man in
Ell PasO. Yet they tell you that Kelly
got it reduced and ne is taking all OF
the credit When the city administra-
ton was shown how it could get re-
auctions in the insurance premiums
amounting to more than $4,000. am
informed they failed to furnish the
information whereby the premiums

trying to maintain themselves in office
that they have had no time, to look
out for the interest of Ell Paso and to
do their duty.

East Ell Paso people are entitled to as
much protection as any other part OF
the city. Have you had that protec-

Paved Manhattan Heights.
You have to swim lakes Of green
slime to get to town. They are too
busy paving and putting down side
walks and water in Manhattan Heights
addition, for the iackrabbits and horned
tOads. to protect you from the flood
waters. Now that they see the hand
writing on the wall. they send corps
of engineers out here to look over the
ground But / say to you that they
have started too late. They have been
inefficient and negligent Of the people
Of East FL PasO and the time has come
when you people want more business
and less politics.
81 am making this fight as the friend
Of the people and to put the relns OF
government back in the peoples hands.
They have accused me of being anti
corporation. The heads of corpora
lions know better and know that I
would give them the same square deal
as I would the humblest citizen. But
I do believe that the day has passed
when special interests should be fed,
watered and taken care of by the city.
Anti Ring Majority.
There are $500 American poll taxes
paid and there has never been time
when the Mexican and negro citizens
were as solid for an anti ring ticket.
/ will say to those waho wish to stir up
strife among the races. that the Next
can and negro voters are going to vote
their sentiments this time in spite of
the organization. If the 600 American
voters go to the polls and vote their
sentiments you viii see a majority for
the anti ring ticket. I appreciate the
ring strength but 6900 American poll
taxes. 275 negro and 1915 Mexican poll
taxes spells defeat for them. A few
weeks ago the leaders had their
shoulders thrown back and their eyes
were as bright as they could bel say
as bright as could be. Today they are |
on their knees asking for your help.
Il will be the happiest man in FL /
