representatives of labor groups which
had been called sometime ago to con-

PREDICTED FIREWORKS failed

The democratic primary campaign
reaches its end tonight.
And the nearer election day came
the tanner became the campaign
speeches and activities.
Ammunition seems TO have been
exploded early, leaving nothing new
or startling as the entrants approach,
ed the finals.
But there have been several rec.
crds, at least in Cameron county
there being but one important con
test in Hidslgo, with the exception
Of state races.
For one thing. more state candi.
dates visited the Valley this year
than ever before.
For another thing, there were more
political meetings in Cameron county
than ever before.
For still another, more campaign
literature was sent through the
mails in Cameron county than ever
before.
The plea to the voter has been
urgent.
It's effectiveness will Ie determ-
ined Saturday.
THE EDlNBURG REVIEW has
been somewhat exclusive in its claim
as to first" with the Tunney-Heeney
fight story in the Valley.
The Review claims to have receiv.
ed the news "first."
inasmuch as several thousand fight
fans heard the story in front Of The
Herald building, in addition to some
more thousands who heard it over
radio station KWWG, which had q
microphone in The Herald office, the
Edinburg claim is challenged.
IL anything, the Review received
the story somewhat later than The
Herald.
AS much later as may be reckoned
in the time il takes an electric spark
to travel from the repeater station
at Harlingen to the receiving station
at Edinburg. which Is a few miles
farther from Hsrlingen than is
Brownsville.
THE HERALD last Sunday report
ed that approximately 1880 bales
Of cotton had been ginned in the
Valley.
In the days since ginnings have
been running at from 1900 TO 1000
bales q day.
Which means that this weekend
should see at least 10000 bales out,
possibly more. Many gins are put
ting through fifty and more bales a
day. There are some eighty-five
plants in the Valley.
Something like three million dol
lars worth Of cotton out, and banks
are being paid back loans.
The profitable pz-t of the crop
should begin to materisliEs next
week.
A GENTLEMAN up at Marshall,
