since that he has seen the light
clearly enough TO at least quit talk

stabbed in the back by whisky before

broken mothers were the victims Of

Why Hudkpeth Avoids Debate.
Claude Hudspeth won't meet me IN
debate because he knows he can't face
the voters Of this district on his rec
ord I'm favor Of this liquor traffic
around military camps. At Bandera
he admitted that he was opposed to
the zone bill il If was to go into effect
April I and at the same time made
the feeble claim that he was in favor
Of the bin If its operation was deloyed
until April Is.
