El Paso herald. (El Paso, Tex.) 1901-1931, 1918-04-16
INDEED MR.. HUDSPETH, LET'S
STICK RICHLY TO THE FACTS

sgT WANT them to be fair with me- Here let me read this
editorial from this afternoons Herald you. 1t says
I came back from Washington with letter from the
Fosdick commission rejecting upon OF the public
officers in Fl Pas0 who supporting me and that the
public never heard Of the contents OF that letter unt
copy Of it mailed months later 70 OTIS Coles NOW the
truth IS that back with this letter and turned It
mayor Davis and he called meeting and read the
letter. AT that public meeting were among Others M
COBB his CAMPAIGN manager Nj Dick Dudley and others
It WAS made public. THEY'VE got to tell the truth"
Thus senator B. Hudspeh delivered himself dramatic
ally Bluuday evening the county auditorium.
1Ir Hudspeth that letter made public IN the
that your political aspirations have been made public? Was
it given to the newspapers that the PEOPLE the taxpayers
might know that the authorities at washington were not
satisfied with the work of political otIicehOders your sup
poters In Fl Paso? We're newspaper admitted to the
meeting at which it was read?
The first time the letter made public that the whole
publ, might know it, when Otis C. Coles received
copy Of and read it at the chamber OF commerce and
John NJ Wyatt made motion that 1t be given to the
M Hudspeth was pointed in assaiIi1g The HeraId's
veTacty and good faith. We feel that have right TO
ask him IN reply: Did you offer your letter 70 The
Herald any other newspaper for publication? Did
mayor Davis to whom yOu gave it. offer II TO any paper OF
permit any newspaper representative TO see it?'
Then the statement IN The Herald that the letter
was NOT MADE PUBLIC until received by Otis C. Coles
The truth?
Being such stcer for the truth Mr. Hudspeth, that
you going to FOLLOW Nh. CObb-so You say-"onto
every stump in the district" why didn't some
Of the other things in the same editorial?
That editorial said you went to Washington With all the
prestige Of your position (seekng get cant0nmeHt for
Fl Paso) ana that you GOT BACK home It also said that
Of the trips cost tn chamber Of commerce over $3.50

Since you say you sticking out for the TRUTH how
about the letter written when you sitting in Fl Paso
district judge recommending ". J. Moran to the con
sideraton Of your brewer friend, Otto Wahrmund-"My
Dear Otto? Why didn't you assai that a misTepre
ssntation, too? The Herald printed that.
And Why don't you deny that you wrote Miss A. Louise
Dietrich that you did not believe in womans suffrage?
You said last night that you had said the women Of Texas
should settle BY vote whether they wanted womans
suffrage and that you would abide by the result You
should have given the date and place Of your statement TO
this effect Is it matter Of record prior to last night?
Does It coincide with the Photographic reproduction or your
letter TO Miss Dietrich in today's HsTald2
Furthermore since you have become such stickler
for The truth you going 70 give large circulation 70
the attack by your friend Turney upon your friend William
Jennings Bryan? M Bryan has lot Of friends in western
Texas remember and you said last night that you never
scratched Democratic ticket in your life you have
been voting for Mr Bryan all the time. IF he's as bad
as Mr. Turney says be is then you must be honest with
the voters and admit that you have been voting long
time Tor a mighty poor man. No REPUBLICAN said I
this either One Of the states leading Democatsyou
called him your bosom friend-sad it, Don't forget Keep
the truth straight.
Don't forget too to stand upon your declaration Of last
