blame. At the outset he had every
thing in his favOr-acquaintan the
prestige born Of years in the state
senate and the fact that he had lived
in the district all his life
His record as a Legislator was Dal'
hut he might have camOuflaged that
by the use Of tact. perhaps. However,
instead Of using tact. he attempted 70
bull his way into congress and the
voters have made up their minds that
that sort OF thing, in congressman,
won't do. They seem TO have made up
their minds that q man who loses his
temper and whose ideas Of common
courtesy are hay is not the man to
represent the people in the national
legislature and they are not going 10
vote TO send him there
Think he should Debate.
The failure OF Mr.. Co5b's opponent
to ioin him in a discussion OF the Is
sues OF the campaign is proving 20 be
a strong factor I'm the waning OF the
popularity Of the FL Paso senator Be
cause Of that failure TO defend him
self from the charges made by MI
Cobb thousands Of voters who had
pinned their faith TO senator Hudspeth
have deserted him for the reason that
they have arrived at the conclusion
that he could not controyert or eX-
plain away the written evidence or ms
failure faithfully to represent the in
terests OF his constituents
Another Factor in the slump.
Another factor in the stump from
the FL Paso senator to Mr. Cobb, and
one OF the most important factors, IS
the bad temper displayed by the for
mer in almost every public appearance
he makes and, when in those tan
trums, his proneness to indulge in
language calculated 10 make his hear
ers feel uncomfortable and inclined
to sympathize with the man he abuses
by silly plays upon his name and by
indulging in inuendOs intended 10 con-
vey the idea, without saying so in
words which might be actionaole in
court. that that man has done things
which he should not have done or or
which he should be ashamed.
Men and Women Resent It.
Red blOoded and right thinking men
and women do not like that sort OF
thing in any man. much less in can
didate for an office Of such dignity
and importance as that Of representa-
tive in the national congress, and their
resentment in this case is taking the
form Of desertion from the ranks Of
the supporters Of their old time idol
There are still five weeks OF the
campaign and IL is not only my con-
viction, but the conviction Of sea-
s0ned campaigners who are watching
the race in the 18th congressional dis
trict. that nothing but the most colos-
al blunder can prevent the election
! of zach Lamar Cobb by a majority
which viii stand as the record for con-
/ gressi0nal majoritles in Texas for
