had the effect to strengthen Mr.
Cobb's hold upon the voters and to
cause many who had been apathetic 70
espouse his cause openly and Ter
vently.
HudEpeth and Juarez Picking House.
While senator Hudspeth never had
the cattlemen Of the district as SOL
idly lined Up for his candidacy as he
and his supporters have claimed, the
charge by MI Cobb that his opponent
accepted employment as the attorney
for the promoters Of the Juarez pack
ing house. an institution against the
licensing Of which the several cattle
associations Of Texas had protested
and against which every Ameri-
can cattlemen operating In Mex
leo or in Immediate proximity 10 the
border on the American side OF the in
ternationaI line had protested. has
caused many cattle raisers OF the dis
trict 10 come over 20 Cobb.
He Might Do II Again
They have said so and have eX-
planned that. IL the man TO whom they
formerly believed they owed allegiance
because he was one Of them would
sacrifice their interests and his own
interests as a cattleman for the fee
he was to receive as the attorney Tor
the packing house promoters, he tas
rot the man TO be sent to congress
where he might sacrifice greater in
terests for a greater fee should the OPP
portunity afford
Women Are for Cobb.
Wherever we have gone since being
on this particular trip we have found
the newly enfranchised women voters
almost soIidly lined up for Mr. Cobb
The women are naturally In favor OF
prohibition and on that account are
enlisted in Mr.. Cobb's behalf But
that is not the only reason they give
for favorinE his election TO congress.
The record Of Mr.. Hudspeth's OppOsi-
/ tion to woman suffrage, which he ad-
mits. is bad enough. but his violent
opposition TO the passage Of the mar
/ ried woman's property rights pill dur
. ing the session Of the legislature IN
1913, recently exploited In the III Paso
Herald. has had the effect TO cause
many women who are nor carried 'sl
away by the desire merely 10 vote 20
take an interest IN the forthcoming
primary election which they would not
/ take otherwise.
Hudspeth's Temper Bad.
Il have made Up my mind TO vote
I for Cobb" said a cattleman in Upton
county the other day. u never saw
I him till last night 7 have known his
opponent for many years and I sup
I posed was going 20 vote for him, be-
cause ] thought his long experience
I in the legislature Of the state would
give him an advantage over Cobb or
any other man in the district in rep
resenting us in congress I was at
! Balmorhea when he spoke there sew
eral days ago and I don't like his line
of talk He accused Cobb Of using
! offensive personalities and at the same
7 time referred TO him as Zacharia
I Scobb' I'm a tone which was anything
l but inoffensive That sounded sillJ
to me and not like the line Of argu-
ment a man fit to 90 to congress
should use in trying to convince peo-
pie that he should be sent to congress
Cobb Is Courteous.
] Il noticed last night that when Mr.
cobb made any reference to his oppo-
Inent's record on any question he hac
the record at hand and. that after
reading 70 he referred 10 to the chair
man Of the meeting and offered TO re-
fer Il to anyone in the audience fol
Notification. 7 also noticed that when
ever he referred 20 his opponent by
name he used the most courteous Ian
guage, in fact. went out of his way
to speak OF Mr.. Hudspeth's many goo'
Qualities and made no attempt to max
offensive plays upon his name or 9th
erwise hold him up TO contempt Cobl
. struck me as being fair. 7 like hin
for that ] will vote for him
Hudspeth Is Out Of Race.
7 have heard the same story viii
variations in every place visited. s.
far as congress is concerned, Nj
Cobb's opponent is practically out o
