Voters and viii Run.

Judge Adrian Pool viii be cam
didate for representative to the legis'
Iature from the 18th district CEl Paso
county, in the July primaries.
Petitions bearing over a thousand
names Of Fl Paso voters were pre-
scented today at the office of judge

building and the Information was
wired to him in Dallas. where he has
gone at the request OF the chamber
OF commerce 10 fight FL PasO's battle
against east Texas in an endeavor to
keep the east Texas good roads en-
thuslasts from eliminating the Fort
Worth TO FL Paso highway in their
war" plans. The Herald Is author
lied to say that he viii make the
race.
Judge Pool, as county judge Of FL
Paso county, was responsible for the
first concrete pavement laid in the
eOunty-that stretch from the santa
Fe tracks north Of FL PasO to the
state line at ANTHONY road that
has proved so good the officials of
Dona Ana county, n. II, are planning
to duplicate II to Las Cruces Judge
Pool also originated and Is largely
responsible for the success OF the re-
cent bond issue to rebuild and save
the road between FL Paso and Ysleta;
also to rebuild the road between
Harris viaduct and the Santa F'e track
and to construct new road from FL
Paso to Newman, largely and almost
wholly to his efforts is due the re-
cent completion Of plans to construct
a road direct from Alamogordo TO Ell
Paso. To judge Pool more than any
other person is due the completion
of plans for the Fort WOrth-El Paso
highway. Judge Pool raised and ex-
pended the funds for constructing the
cutoff 10 Deming from FL Paso. He
has been a leader for the past several
years in good roads work in this
county. and his friends OF good roads
believe that he will prove an i'm
portant factor in good roads legisla-
ton at Austin.
The fact that Judge Pool IS so well
known in Austin by members OF the
legislature makes his friends here be-
Heve he would prove OF great aid
not only to FL Paso in matters com
ing before that body, but also In
helping to elect r Z. Thomson TO
the speakership. Judge Pool person
ally started the petitions asking Mr..
ThOmasOn TO make the race again
for the legislature and his friends
shortly thereafter started the petl-
tons asking him to make the race.
The petitions were circulated by for
mer political opponents Of the ex-
county judge as wen as by his FOR
mer supporters, all apparently recog-
MIXING that he would make an excel
lent man at Austin.
