Amonett make an affidavit and sign it

El Paso viii see that he goes there.
They say that Billy AmOnett has
been spending a great deal of money
lately. Where did he get this money

Amonett.
Howe Says Was Beaten Fairly.
W. d. Howe, the next speaker, said:
Several years ago / ran for office IN
this city against Joe 'NealOn. And l
was beaten. And mayor Kelly is the
man who beat me. But I was beaten
fairly. And if [ did not think so 1 would
not be here talking for him tonight
Dan Jackson has ridiculed this tent by
calling it "A one ring circus Well /
would rather be in a one ring circus
with Henry Kelly than in a three ring
circus with half a dozen bands playing
with Dan Jackson and Tom Lea.
They have asked what our Objec-
tion to the grand jury is. 1t is not be-
cause of indictments. We all believe
that if a man is guilty he should be in
dicted. But We do not believe that they
should jump on one side in this pOliti-
cal fight They should indict every
man who is guilty Of breaking the law.
They should play fair. But they are
not doing that Tom Lea's grand jury,
and it is Tom LEAFS, made a report in
which they attempted through innuendo
to cast reflection on the city admins
tratiOn and the city officials.
Lea Good Criminal Lawyer.
Tom Lea. is a good criminal lawyer.
He learned early in his career as
lawyer that it was possible to win
many cases by jumping on the other
fellow when he had no evidence in de-
fence of his man. This is exactly the
policy ne has pursued in this campaign.
No man should be elected to office who
has nothing to show for himself but
mas to get IN through mud singing and
through belittlinE his opponent.
They have stated that mayor Kelly
ana the present administration are re-
spOnsible for disease in Chihuahua
because they have neglected that sec
ton of the city in order to build UP
Manhattan Heights for the benefit or
the wealthy property holders in that
district In sworn affidavit. the prop
erty owners of Manhattan Heights have
stated that not one cent has ever been
spent by the city for the Improvement
of that section. Instead of neglecting
Chihuahuita mayor Kelly and the ad-
mtnistratiou have spent many dollars
in preventing and stamping out disease
as wei as spending great labor in do
ing it,"
Lea and Jackson Democracy.
I. A. Dale, partner of Claud Hubs
peth, the last speaker, said: Dan Jack
son made a speech the other night in
which he said. We should rid ourselves
Of these mOsSbacked politicians and put
IN office real, clean. live, honest up
right, patriotic. efficient, progressive
Democrats Democrats. Yes, Demo-
Gratis. Tom Lea and Dan Jackson Dem
ocrats, Men who tried to. organize what
was really a Republican organization
in this county. This anti-ring organic
alton has the gan TO try to be elected
on Democratic ticket when there are
two men on the ticket who are dyed

Of the Republican organization to gain
control of the city of FL Paso City
and County Democratic club. they call
themselves. Republican would be a far
more fitting name. They are Demo-
Gratis who pledged themselves to sup
port the Democratic ticket and on cleo
tion day broke their promises and
scratched the Democratic nominees.
They care absolutely nothing for the
democratic party. Their sole wish is
20 control the city.
Anti-BinG Secret Organization.
This anti-rinE organization has been
a secret organization since its very
conception. On the other hand. every
one Of our meetings has been wide open
and tho newspaper boys have always
been welcome. We have never had any
thing to hide. Can they say the same2
Kline, Jackson and Lea proclaim
themselves Democrats. Well. if they
have not been lifelong Republicans they
have at least constantly scratched the
nominees of the Democratic ticket. Two
years ago Dan Jackson pledged himself
to support the Democratic ticket at the
primaries Then on election day he
