Il HERE was a reason Tor the
calling of early primaries.
Il They know they will be swept
( out in April, and between Tuesday and
! April-nOw mark my predicttOn-they
! are going to do some work that viii
/ make you and every other citizen blush
for shame"
| This declaration was made by judge
! Dan NJ. Jackson at a precinct meeting
} Tuesday night on Kentucky avenue, in
! Highland Park. Previous to this meet
Z ing judge Jackson had addressed a
| large gathering in a store on Piedras
! and Tularosa streets.
! Both of the meetings were well at
I tended and both presented the aspect
| of the old time political rally. At the
| first precinct meeting a steaming
I kettle of coffee, thanked by a pile Of
, sandwiches, simmered on a stove and
divided interest with the speaker. The
meeting was unlike any that is held
down town, residents of the whole
precinct-men, women and children
turning out. At the second meeting,
which was held in 3 grocery store,
voters sat on the counters and imprOv
ised benches. Despite the fact that
judge Jackson was detained at the first
meeting and did not arrive until =
o'clock, hardly person had left the
store, though many gathered there as
early as 1880.
ring Uncle Toms Cabin.
Inc Ting candidates as SldE Lu6ul-
bers of the cast Of Uncle Toms Cabin
were described by judge Jackson in his
first address, made in the ninth pre-
cinct.
Kelly, with his heated tent, has CIV
en- up the circus stunts and gone into
the theatrical business" said the
speaker. I'VE have Henry as the prin-
cipal character, the oppressed but noble
martyr, Uncle Tom. Then there's the
villain, Simon Legree, ably portrayed
d 7 d. IL yT-s
who better than Joe NealOn and Red
Walthau. No cast is complete, though,
without Little Eva, and that's where
Bull Elfers comes in. While I was
away they set up their One-ring circus
in my back yard.
They have said that I would bank
rupt the county by hiring extra
baiIiffs. That's not here nor there in
this campaign; I'm not running for Of
flee. But I can say this. There is a
district attorney who is working and
who needs bailiffs to get results with
his work. And he's on the job all the
time; he has not spent the greater
part of his time in a sanitaTium in
Arizona like Joe Nealon did when he
was district attorney.
Mayor of FL PasO, Not Juarez.
kelly says that Tom Lea can't go
to Mexico. If Kelly couldn't go to Mex
leo. he wouldn't have such strong OPP
position If he didn't go across the riV-
er so much he would be a much better
mayor for Ell PaSO, and I hope that
when Tom Lea is elected he will be
mayor of e. Paso and not Juarez.
Kelly may be able to keen Lea from
crossing the river A man who stands
in with those thieves and crooks in
Mexico could be able to do that. He
may have him shot at; I dOnN say he
will; but I say that he may have him
lined up in front of an adobe wall. But
not to be able to go into Juarez-and
I have never heard that Lea cannot-is
a pretty poor charge to make against a
man.
Let Kelly Come Clean.
Kelly claims he has something in his
pocket that will explain why Lea can't
cross the river. Then let him show it, /
1t is his duty to publish it; to come
clean And the reason he hasn't shown /
1t is because he's yellow Lea did rep
resent one of those factions at one
time but what is the difference We /
are discussing a candidate for the may |
orally of FL PasO now, not a tourist.
"TO show how hard pushed they are,
just consider the puerile charge that !
the taxes were increased while Tom /
Lea was police judge. Tom Lea had |
about as much to say about raising or /
lawering the taxes when he was police /
judge as the president of Peru. But L |
can see Kelly'S point: He has yellow /
streak foot wide and he is expecting |
to lay his misdeeds, if any, on the broad /
shoulders of Ballard COldweu. Kelly !
pays taxes on SyOsUOO worth or prop
erty. lie does not need the salary of |
the office; he has had it since mayor !
Robinson was killed and has had honor /
enough Then why does he want the /
office again?
Nom Union Buttons.
"If anybody here happens to be a |
union man and also happens to have
one Of those ridiculous safety first
buttons of Kelly's, just look on the
back See if the much Wanted safety
first bears the union label
kelly has some queer notions about
loyalty. He declares that Dick Dudley
should support him because Kelly saw
that old hound, OrozcO. and got him to
assist in Orr's release. If Kelly was
