calities like e Paso should be patched
up. in order that everyone could give
AL HIS efforts toTsrds winning the

But suddenly. out OF the clear sky,
the thunderboIt that rent these fac
tions. came shooting down. and when
the Ornoorff faction announced It
had decided to support every office
holder in the county for reelection.
the cry Of boss ticket" came out from
Sweeney corners. and they announced
they would put out an opposition
ticket. which is now in process OF
formation
And Monday night at a meeting OF
the Central Labor congress II was de-
cided that "the best interests OF e.
Paso county demand" that a third,
to be known as the 'Laboring Mans
ticket" should enter the field.
Walter Highsmith. president. pre-
sided over the meeting. which was OF
one voice that the ticket should be
put out. The matter was referred to
