TTHE free and untrammeled ring
Democrats OF ri Paso put out
their county ticket last night at a
meeting I'm the county courthouse. That
free and untrsmmeled" stuff is theirs,
not ours, for all the speakers referred
TO the freedom and untrammeledness
of the meeting, which was there ITO DO
it's own biddng not that Of any boss or
set of bosses" Then they nominated a
ticket selected by less than a dozen men
Sunday night and published for the ed
ificatiOn Of the voters in The Herald
yesterday. hours before the meeting
ever assembled.
The meeting was a large one-there
is no denying thRt-for If ever there
was q man on the city or county pay
roll who is not now upon it, he was
there; even architects, disappointed at
not getting to draw the plans for the
new courthouse, were present and vot-
ing. Even "old man Gaal,' Of county
hospital fame. and his son, Charlie.
were there; so was Charlie Brownie
husband Of a niece OF Henry kellysi
as a matter Of fact they were all there,
those who have held jobs in the past
and lost them, they and their friends,
and a. made some considerable gather
ing, so much so that Billie Bridgers-
who has held office for, we'll nobody
can say when he started-declared it
the greatest gathering Of free voters
ever assembled in El Paso.
Ex-EvcrybOdy Was There.
EX-pOlicemen, eX-janitorss eX-deputy
peace officers, eX-jailors, N-umekeep-
era. ex-sanitary men and fumigators,
ex-evcrysbody and everything were
there: also county office holders. as
sistants and clerks. Naturally, such a
gathering would be somewhat large in
any meeting place. None failed 70 at

The Herald many hours before the
meeting ever came together.
Sweeney, Hudspeth, Bridgers.
When eX-mayor Joe Sweeney called
the meeting to order. he told them 1t
was a free and untrammeled meeting.
When Claude Hudspeth came in bit
later and walked down the aisles in the
midst OF applause he also told them
il was untrammeled and free. Several
others said some things about untram-
meledness and freedom and then came
Billie Bridgers, Billie who, whatever
else may be said Of him, has a sense
of humor-and there are those who
have said he made a joke of the office
Of district attorney-whO decided to
throw out a few brickbats in advance
at those who would expose the free
dom" Of the meeting.
Billy Saw the Joke.
Billie had good, hard sense enough to
see that this untrammeled stuff was
too funny to keep UP. He knew the
crowd in the han did not believe II was
nominating . ticket OF its own picking
and he knew the public would smile to-
day when IL read of the ticket put out
Just as The Herald said yesterday it
had been made w by the bosses, so
Billie took few shots at The Herald,
the county commissioners, and others.
Bridgers. who tried to get the anti
ring nomination for district attorney,
put in come few minutes denouncing
that Organization and then said, as he
hid a smile with one hand. that he
was glad to see that his efforts to
make Il possible for any man to run
for office without asking any boss or
