final DRIVE IN
CAMPAIGN
TO START SOON
D. A. O'Brien Declares There
Will be no Let up Until the
$4,000 Goal Has Been
Reached

I'VE will start on the final lap Of the
SOS. campa gn about the middle OF
July and there will be no let up until
the goal has been reached" declared
ID. A. O'Brien yesterday after having
returned from trip through the Val
ley.
Mr.. O'Brien said that he never felt
SO certain regarding the completion of
the port project as he does at this time.
Discussing the state of public senti-
ment, he expressed himself as follows:
IF there is a banker or merchant
in the Valley who is laboring under the
impression that he can stop or prevent
the railroad and harbor improveme. is
he had better have his mental condi-
tion looked into.
IF the few lawyers who delight in
whispering with the hope of belittl-
in me or the rail and harbor project
could only see themselves as others see
them, they would cease their activities
1f the few who have made desperate cf-
forts-and ia lcd-to destroy our pros
poets for additional and competitive
transportation facilities and reasonable
freight rates hope to ever be forgiven for
their crimes they had better begin TO
make amends.
THE redblooded men and women who
have come into the Lower Rio Grande
Valley are not of the stuff from which
slaves are moulded. No, they will not
cringe before monopoly or its hirclings
nor bend the pregnant hinges of the
knee that thrift may follow fawnlng.
But they are here to remain and are
determined to make this Valley of beauty
and lovincss one of prosperity and plen-
ty. peace and happiness.
Everybody, everywhere. was en-
thusiastic and wishing for the few days
to pass between now and the date on
which they would be in position to
make substantial subscriptions TO the
$. o. S. fund. ] am in receipt of many
invitations to meet again with the peo-
pie of various communities who are
anxious for additional information con-
cerning our immediate requirements.
Yes, interest in our rail and harbor
projects is increasing steadily and be-
comes more and more intense as the days
roll by and the people come to realize
the fearful price they paying for
competitive transportation. They
are beginning to appreciate the fact
that the Great Creator has blessed Us
with one Of the best harbor sites on
the American shore line and they real
ize, too the time has come for its i'm
provement and utilization"
astonishing" is the way Mr.. o.
Brien expressed the manner in which the
bondh olders were responding to ". I.
Burneyt1 suggestion tHati they send
in coupons for cancellation.
Il venture to say" he said. that il
is without parallel. OF course. il is
gratifying TO know that we have the
hearty support. cooperation and as
sistance of the majority owners of the
railway and | am confident that with a
few exceptions all coupons will be sent
in for cancellation. Those who bring
them to the office also bring kind words
and good wishes while the coupons
received by mail are accompanied by
letters which bring messages OF apprec-
iation. confidence and encouragement. :
