LOUIS WITTMOR
and FRHSELL
COMMISSIONERS

With ou,s Wittmor leading the
hurdle and +. W. Fr;ssell close behind
him, the Haas ticket for Commission
ers ran away with F.. p. Ellis and A.
II. Eucsskamp in Tuesdays election.
II Wa, Il cake walk Neither Fills
nor Rucsskamp carried q ward in the
citYl blr. Ruesskamp ordinarily IS
strong man, but the Limbaugh han
diCap was too much for him.
While II. II. Haas was without an
opponent owing to the withdrawal Of
Rush Fl. Limbaugh, Mr.. Haas recciv-
ed almost the full vote. There We're
about 300 Limbaugh votes cast for
him, or approximately one half Of the
total strength of the Limbaugh con-
tingent. 1t is generally conceded
that the Influence of Ruesskamp
strengthened Ellis at least one hun
bred votes.
The vote cast in the second ward
yesterday confirms the general inl-
preston that the Limbaugh men finn
flammed Mr.. Ruesskamp in the pri-
mary by voting solidly for Ellis and
the other for Ruesskamp. Ellis vote
in the second ward Tuesday was vir-
tually the same as he received in the
primary, when he ran quite a. bit an
cad of Mr.. Ruesskamp in that ward.
It is believed that some of the Linn
bauch votes went to Mr. Rue5sl;amp
yesterday, but his close friends agree
that the fact that he permitted the
gum-shOe caucus to indOrSe him cost
him several hundred votes.
In the second ward Tuesday
where Ellis lives, he polled ITS votes,
while PAP were cast for Wittmor and
1877 for Frissell. The fourth ward,
the home of Ruesskamp, Frissell poll
ed %, Wittmor SIS and Ruesskamp
only "a. Mr.. Ruesskamp lost quite
number of votes that were cast for
him in this ward at the primary.
The result of the election is regard
ed as rebule to those who attempt
ed to force certain candidates on the
people. The tactics employed by the
Limbaugh crowd reacted against their
candidates Various fraudulent char
gcs were made against Frissell and
W:ttmGr, but these candidates treated
them with contennt.
While the withdrawal of Limbaugh
from the race much interest out
of the campaign. there was fairly
good vote cast yesterday. There
were 1890 votes cast. Since the
last election about 200 voters have left
tbs city to Join the army. There

Says LynchviIIe Not All Bad.
William Lynch addressed the fol-
lowing letter to The Herald Wednes-
day:
Editor FL Paso Herald:
in your issue OF 4th you publish a let
ter from Mai Bascom johnson in which
appears the following:
Among the outlying places. the
worst place left is probably Lynch
vile. a settlement adjoining the
camp OF the 65th infantry We are
informed that 1t IS inhabited mainly
by old time line prostitutes, and that
a number OF shacks have sprung up
about the edges of all the camps,
where prostitution is carried on
Il happen to have been the first person
who bought and built on property near
Fort Bliss and unfortunately the settle
ment that has sprung up around me has
been called Lynehville' because Of that
before the advent Of the militia here.
our little settlement was peaceable and
quiet. but when they came, lot OF
cheap buildings were erected that appar-
emily pandered to the worst element In
the army. and my name. without my con-
sent. was given to the whole Of the set
Element
Unjust TO Good Ehmlnes-
THE statement above gives the impress
sion that there are no respectable females
residing in that vicinity. and I wish TO
protest against such insinuation- have
raised my family there. and have tried 70
raise them right, and my wife and daugh-
ter are Just as virtuous and respectable
as any woman in e. Paso- There are 9TH
er families just as respectable living there.
and we all feel that the statement Is an
unjust and unwarranted reflection on our
families.
IF there have been notorious prosti- /
tutes IN any Of the houses IN that vicinity /
we are no more responsible for It than /
the major. nor Mr. Coles. nor any citizen /
Of Ell Paso who does not own or have
control OF It
Calls 1t Base InsinuatiOn.
by publishing that statement you have Il
led people TO believe that all females In 4
that section are prostitutes which is false,
and I ask you TO give this statement as
much publicity as you have the above.
that the people may know that conditions
supposed to exist in so-called Lynchville.
are not applicable TO every house IN the
settlement, and that virtuous women may
not be open to insult by reason OF the base
nsinuation contained in the report to the
officer signing the communication
Respectfully.
