GGTHERE are some good people sup
porting Hudspeth- Why? In
the beginning. before the people made
known their wishes, these same
jumped on what they thought was a
Hudspeth band wagon. But now they
find themselves riding on hearse-
But after the primary. they viii come
back and they viii find me, flushed
with victory. extending the right
hand Of friendship to them"
This was the confident statement Of
zach Lamar Cobb. candidate for con-
Eress. at the meeting Of the precinct
u Cobb club, held at Alta Vista
school Friday night The statement
was significant in that il was made
on the heels OF ar. Cobb's return
from O tour OF the entire congress
sional district where he was received
with open arms, even in Bandera
county, the scene Of Hudspeth's child
hood days.
The auditorium OF the Alta Vista
school was almost overlooking with
voters-men and women-and quite
a number Of children Rev C. x.
Campbell pastor Of Asbury Park
Methodist church, and president OF
the precinct club. presided over the
meeting. and in a short Introductory
political speech.
Into sphere OF Principles.
The question al issue has drifted
out OF the realm Of politics into the
sphere Of principles" said Rev AR
Campbell. In fact the stream Of
politics is being somewhat purified
by men Of the caliber Of Mr. Cobb and
judge Z. B. McClintocz-" The speaker
then gave three reasons why he IA
vored Cobb for congr5ss- first. be-
Hnna md r.
ing stand during the city's prohibit
ton fighr- second, for his American
ism. and who would not stand for
that uOw2' and third. because Cobb
stands for suffra~e for women
Hudspefh Is Answered.
G. A. Martin. news editor Of The
Herald. was the first speaker intro
duced-
Claude Hudspeth said recently that
The Herald had been against him ever
since he first came TO Fl Paso and he
didn't know why" said the speaker.
Claude Hudspeth knows himself bet
ter than anyone else knows him and
Claude Hudspeth knows" continued
the speaker. t'that the FL Paso Herald
IS against him because he is not the
type Of man the FL Paso Herald
would support for any office, Claude
Hudspeth knows the FL PasO Herald
stands for clean politics and men who
represent the highest ideals Of the
Pas0 Herald ever supported for office
a man who did not represent the bet
ter ideals CT the community The
Herald cannot support a man who, in
the legislature, has voted with the
whisky interests at every opportunity.
CumOuflnEinE Doesn't Go.
1T was bad enough for him 10 vote
for these measures. but still worse
for him 70 make an effort 20 pull the
wool over the ewes OF the people aft
s-a1s r.-- ha 4
for a measure when in reality he only
voted for a confirmation Of a con-
ference committee report on meas
ure he had opposed on its passage IN
TO represent the people who viii mis-
represent his own attitude. I'd as
soon have a man embezZle my money
as 10 have him misrepresent a thing
10 me.
The Iiduor evil is the greatest this
nation has ever faced II is not
dead issue. as Hudspeth attempts 20
make US believe The liquor interests
have not accepted defeat We must
elect men 10 office who we know VIII
fight this evil men who we know are
opposed TO IL from principle; men
who in a test between liquor and
home. viii vote to keep the curse Of
liquor from your boy and mine.
Voters Demand Honesty
we demand fair. honest reports Of
We don't want camOuflage. Some
people refer TO camouflage as some
thing invented during this war.
Claude Hudspeth invented camouflage
many years go and he is attempting
now 70 camoutlage his way into con-
Eress. He boasts that he is a mans
man. that Mr.. Cobb is q ladies' man.
Men admire frankness. courage and
candor. If Claude Hudspeth is a
mans man why doesn't he meet Zach
Cobb in debate? Why does he not
come before an audience and meet
the charge that he was paired against
the zone bill: why doesn't he meet the
charge that he cared more for the
liquor dealers profit than he did for
the boys who are sacrificing their
lives for tnei- country When you
elect Zach Lamar Cobb to congress
you may rest ia the secure knowledge
that he VIII vote as the majority Of
the people Of El PasO and this district
want him 10, vote on vital issues. for
he represents this majority sentiment.
and he viii not have to come home
and attempt any explanation Of any
vote he has cast"
says Hudspeth Opposed Women.
Rejoicing because the women have
been given at least "a bite out Of
