o'clock this morning, the rival camps
had lined up their followers on either

discussion took place usually deterrin-
ing their character. .
The election is being conducted by
r. b. Rentfro, judge Of the election, In
accordance with the ruling from Attor-
ney General Dan Moody to the effect
that failure to pay city poll taxes does
not disfranchize resident Of this city
who has paid his county and state poll
taxes. All that Is necessary for resi-
dent of the city 70 vote at the election
today is for him to have paid the coun-
ty and state poll taxes, and bring
receipt with him, or sign an affidavit
to the effect that he has paid them.

receipts and disbursements of the city
Of Brownsville. and declared that willis

be reduced, he believed that some reduc-
tion was possible. He said that IL elect
