Appeal TO Prejudices,
w H. Pelfrey followed mayor Kelly.
His talk was largely in praise of the
Kelly administration and in criticism of
the campaign of the opposition.
L have noticed" he declared, that
while they have found fault with mayor
Kelly and his administration, they have
offered nothing. All they have done is
to appeal to race prejudice. or to re-
hgtous preJudiceS. or if they could ap-
peal through prejudices, they have tried
to make it appear that there is some
thing crooked in the administration.
They absolutely refuse to cOncede any
of the good things that mayor Kelly
has done. Certainly, Mr.. Kelly has done
something worthy of praise, yet no
praise is forthcoming from that source.
Il believe that IL the Savior himself
were mayor of FL PasO, you would still
find some fellows who would denOunce
him, and, while they could not cruelty
nlIlls because LQAl Is no longer permit
ted. they would at least have him in
dicted. And had the same crowd been
present when Christ was on earth, some
of them would have been among those
clamoring that he be crucified."
nMOre Business, Less Politics."
The speaker stated that while the
motto Of the opposition is; More BUSH
ness and less politics" he had observed
that considerable politics had been
played by the ants in the county COM
court. and he referred to the
stopping of the pay of the probation Of
ficer and the alleged attempt to remove
Arthur Fitzpatrick from the position of
engineer at the county Jail.
Ballard ColdWell, candidate to sue
coed himself as city recorder, spoke of
the organization of the FL Paso County
and City Democratic club. 1T was con-
ceived in the minds of three poll
ticians," he declared, "WhO announced
that the purpose of the club was to Sc
lect the best men for offices. regardless
Of their affiliations. Kelly must be a
very poor man, for they have selected
II men to run against him
Lea a Good Lawyer.
There are some who dislike mayor
Kelly, but no one can say he is not fit
man to be mayor" he continued. "They
say Tom Lea is a good lawyer, but he is
not running for city attorney. You are
to vote for man to head the corpora
ton Of FL Paso and it is to your inter
est to select the man best qualified by
training to fill that position. Mayor
Kelly is working for the city all the
time. He works Is hours a day. and if
need be he works longer. And further
more, it costs him over $4,000 a year
more than he gets from the city to do
the things that he desires to do for the
city
Now, you hear it on the streets that
Tom Lea is a very affable gentleman,
but you never hear ii said that he
would make a good mayor. They Sc
ected him, not because he would make
q good mayor, but because he would
make them a good candidate"
Mr. Coldwen spoke in behalf of his
own candidacy, and closed with an ap-
peal for the support of the entire adj
ticket
