zach Lamar Cobb, Of FL Paso. can
I didate for congress in the 10th dis
trict, was a brief visitor in the city
on his way home TO IL Paso from
Washington where he went with a
Z delegation in an effort to have the
/ Orient railroad retained under govern
ment control The mission was sue
cessful and Mr.. Cobb carries with him
Z a letter Of thanks Tor his efforts

{ Rooney. mayor Of Fort stockton, and
I o.. w Williams
: Lr. Cobb said. 81 have covered many
/ counties Of the district and have met
/ with much announcement sufficient
T TO confirm my confidence i'm being
3 elected The prohibluonists through
{ out the district generally are sup
porting me because Of the action
have taken for prohibition in the past,
particularly in the FL pasO local Op-
tion election and in helping to bring
about a telegram from secretary
Baker 10 Gov. Hobby which led TO the
zone law. The women voters are just
as generally supporting me both be-
cause OF the prohibition issue and the
wen known advocacy Of woman SUI
frage by me. The Wilson Democrats
are Just as generally for me because
Of the intimacy OF my relations with
the administration.
West Texas Democrats believe il is
OF paramount Importance TO have q
Congressman who viii be in harmony
with the president
Il expect 10 get an overwhelming
vote yet in order not 10 suffer through
confidence will work every
day until the primary and urge my
friends TO do the same
last analysis, love is service. BE not
weary of well doing. DO not fail into
the error of giving to the Red Cross
when a drive is being conducted and
then forgetting all about the good
work being done by that great organi-
zatiOu.
we are fighting for a holy cause
and TO win requires that every one
Of US make sacrifices-the woman or
girl who knits a sweater for q boy
over there not only warns the body
Of the boy, but warns her own heart
by her act Of service"
Voting Periodically.
Applying what he had been saying I
regarding patriotism 70 politics, Mr. /
Cobb said that every vote cast by men 3
and women this year should be cast ]
with the war in mind.
do not cast q vote for any candi- I
date for any office who is not known I
to you 20 be squarely behind the pres !
ideut in his eudeavOr TO carry on the I
war TO a glorious victory for demOc- I
racy and civilization" said the speak Z
er. 'No man should be elected 10 any 4
office this year and for years to come 1
who is not dependable in time OF the I
scruunize not only candidates 10y Z
atty, but his fitness.
AssaiIs Hudspefh's Record.
The speaker called attention 10 the 4
known and oft repeated Manifesto /
tons Of senator Hudspeth's opposition I
TO president Wilson. as, for instance, /
at the Houston convention OF 1912
and again at the convention OF 1916,
when he scored postmaster general
Burleson and attorney general Greg
0rT two Texas mem bers OF president
Wilson's cabinet and announced in
offensive language that he (Huds-
peth) was not stopping over regard
ing the national administration and
again, when he opposed the zone bill
and woman suffrage bin, both Of
which had been urged by the presi-
dent, as shown by the record
should Hudspeth Cor
should a man whose record proves
him TO be an insistent opponent Of the
president and OF his policies be sent
10 congress at this critical time in the
nations history TO be a thorn in tie
flesh Of the president and where he
VIII have opportunity TO stab the
leaders Of the party as he has done
5efOre2" asked Mr.. Cobb.
Mr. Hudspeth has refused TO take
the stump with me TO defend his
written record upon so many Of the
questions now before the voters Of
he country. IF he is afraid TO defend
his record here, how can he hope 20
iefend himself against the able de-
laters he will meet in congress. II
such misfortune should befaI that he
should be elected. though I assure you
low that the danger.is not at all i'm
ninent.
