PLACE NO COUNTY TICKET
IN THE FIELD THIS YEAR

The republicans of Cameron county
will place no candidates in the field for
county offices. this being the decision
reached by republican leaders at a
meeting yesterday in which the county
situation was discussed. Candidates
were nominated AT the recent district
conventions for the legislative position
and Judge of the criminal district court
and republican leaders announce that a
strong campaign will be put on 70 elect
these candidates at the general election.
and the full power of the county organi-
zation will be directed toward securing
a big vote for the republican, state and
senatorial candidates.
"The democrats have a good ticket
IN Cameron county. and II would be
folly for US to attempt 10 defeat them,
Brownsville republican stated this
morning. I'VE have no principle at
stake in the county election, and there
would be no objection in waging a cam
pa;gn against the progressive men the
! democrats nave nominated. We are go
ing 10 devote our efforts 10 electing
d member Of the legislature. a judge OF
the criminal district court. and our state
and senatorial ticket. Republicans
throughout the county are confident that
Cameron county will show big vote for
these candidates in November.
Several republicans are reported TO
have counselcd the nomination Of a
full county ticket. but the majority
were not in favor of such action this
year. as they believed opposition to the
ticket nominated by the democrats for
county offices would be very poor
political move. resulting in no benefit
TO the party.
