Khan and all organizations which seek
to promote religious strife and TO DOM
mate civic affairs such as the Khan is
attempting to do.
To the large union labor audience
which he was addressing, Sheriff lob
IN appealed for a square deal.
Il fought you one time" Sheriff
Tobin said. Il have no apology for
that. L may have acted little hasty
but l wos doing my duty as l saw it.
You can't, however, point to one off
cial act in the last &c years, where /
have not been absolutely square with
organized labor. / hope my record as
sheriff will prove TO you that | can be
just as fair in the mayors office"
Will Not Sneak Into Homes.
Sheriff Tobin declared he had been
criticized because he refused to "sneak
in back rooms and search peoples
premises with Investigators"
No man will search a private home
without = legal warrant when I'm in
the mayors chair" the sheriff said
amid burst of applause.
Many of you people up here" Sher-
if Tobin said. "are not particularly
interested in flood prevention. because
you are beyond the reach of the wa
tiers. But We are all vitality interested
in this question. And l am going 10
submit the question to the whole poo
pie so that they may determine the
best means of carrying out our pro-
gram"
''And I am going to use that $780,
600 which has been lying idle" Sher-
iff Tobin said, ito build you a new
auditorium. Furthermore I'm going to
reduce expenditures at the city hall
even greater than did Mayor Bell or
Mayor Brown"
Politician Must Make Good.
"I'm going to plead guilty to being
a politician. It's no crime" Sheriff
Tobin said. "But mind you, a poll
tician makes a good officer. because
he must cater 10 the wishes of the
great mass of the people if he expects
to hold his job. If l don't keep my
promises / don't expect you TO re-
elect me. / believe | know the needs
of the San Antonio people as well as
any other man i'll your city. My OPP
ponent does not. He is trying to lead
you off the pertinent issues of the
by talking about vice and
law enforcement. Don't be mislcd. |
He is an open shop man, bidding |
for the favors of organized labor. |
Judge whether / an not fairer TO all |
classes"
Commissioner Phil Wright told his |
hearers to glance Mt their tax re-
ceipts and see if Mayor Black, who is
supporting the Stoner ticket, had kept |
his pIomise of tax reductions.
mayor Black told vou he was go
ms to reduce expenses by discharg,nS
men when he went in office" Com
missioner Wright said. He did dis
'harge men, good men. lut he put
political appointees in their places,
appointed SO many that he ran out of
names for them. Black spent S640 n
month in his own office as against
$50 spent by Sam Bell. Wouldn't
-ou expect the same sort of govern
nent if the man Black has selected
o succeed him gets in?"
Commissioner Wright decried Her
ert PEARS attempt TO evade the slot
Machine question. Mothers had COM
'lained to him, the police commission
r said, that their children were
quandering their lunch money on
hese machines and going hungry.
"Granting that a local organiza-
ion was backing these machines"
Wright said, "docs Her
ert PEARS deny that he got 8 per
ent profit out of it,"
Ray Lambert, commissioner of 1
arks, got an ovation when he arose
