same question was asked 10 years ago
about the greatest man in the world
today. Woodrow Wilson, and the only
answer was, he made good school
teacher.
Cobb Long Tor Prohibition
Vow they say Cobb was never for
prohibition until he announced for
congress. i believe all Of you heard
Kim express himself for prohibition
long before he had any idea OF run
ming for congress. The speaker then
traced C0bb's consistent prohibition
record for many years, showing how
he supported every prohibition can
Lfdate for governor since 1912. and
how he fought actively in FL Paso' s
local option campaign The best proof
that Cobb is for prohibition is that
every preacher in FL PasO IS sup
porting him for congress. Rev. ?. R.
kniczerhoczer- personal friend OF
Hudspeth. withdrew his endorsement
Of that candidate and came out for
Cobb on account Of the latter's prohi-
Further proof lies IN that 90 percent
of the good women OF the district are
going to vote for him
Suffrage, Prohibition, Live Issues.
CODb's CONSTANT woman suffrage
stand was explained in the same way,
and judge Isaaczs asked, Il wonder
how long senator Hudspeth has been
for woman suffraEe!' This brought
laughs from the crowd. Judge Isaacl1s
then cited that the Texas Baptist
Standard, Home and state and the
Christian Courier all indorse Cobb.
Hudspeth's argument that Cobb is
running on dead issues was then dis
cussed By Judge Isaacks. who showed
that prohibition and woman suffrage
are live issues until they are written in
the national constitution stand by
tie president Is that a dead issue?"
judge Isaacks asked and suggested
he kinder believed IL is, with senator
Hudspeth-'
Republicans Support Cobb.
The sueer that Cobb is supported by
a Republican paper and Republicans
was then disposed OF. u suppose some
Of the best Republicans are supporting
Cobb. Now the FL Paso Times fought
the administration OF woodrow viii

candidate Of an anu-Wilson paper
Vow. II Cobb ever failed TO support

Smiths Friends For Cobb.
They say Cobb opposed congress
man smith HudEpeth was asked at
Colorado City If he voted for smith
and he said he did not Now they ad-
init that Mitchell county, the home Of
congressman Smith. is the strongest
county for Cobb That's because Cobb
helped smith in the last election and
HudsDeth did not
They say Cobb endorsed Hudspeth.
Wei. the sins OF omission and com
mission OF Hudspeth at the last legis-
iature were enough TO release any
body that endorsed him II it's a sin
for Cobb 20 renOunce the endorsement
he said he didn't give. isn't it a great
CT sin for Rev. M knickerbocker 10

did give-
Absolute proof in the shape OF let

presented. and then judge lsaackz
