TO MAKE INQUIRY

HOUSTON, Tex. Oct. 3i.-tPl-
Henry NJ. Holden, United tates dis
rict attorney, said today he would
make no personal Investigation"
CT alleged election irregularities in
Hidalgo county. He made that
statement after receiving late yes
terday a message from A. w. Cam
eron. Hidalgo county judge and a
member of the regular democratic
organization. adding his invitation
for a federal inquiry to that Of the
"citfzens-repubIiean' committee.
Judge Cameron denied any viola
ton OF law or threatened violati n
and invited the federal authority TO
see for himself on account of ad-
verse publicity.
Mr.. Holden replied that il was
useless for him TO visit the county
and pointed out that il any specific
charge OF federal election statutes
was presented an investigation
would be made lin the regular way
Judge Cameron's telegram to Mr..
Holden said:
There is no violation Of law or
threatened violation of law in Hi
dalgo county. You are invited and
urged to come Immediately TO this
county and make a thorough inves-
LEGATION, owing to adverse publicity"

This fish Is the only one found in

IL is so protected because the fish
come into the shallow waters OF the

The law governing this closed sea

or gig and light for the purpose OF
securing founders is prohibited in
November and December, which
months shall constitute a closed sea
son on founders in all coastal wa
tiers Of the state and IL shall be un-
lawful TO possess or % take any

South"
Entire Country Interested
"The entire country il interested
in the fight we are making in Iii
dalgo county" Gordon Griffin said in
discussing the appeal for q federal
Investigation. "Never since the DAYS
of reconstruction has such a cam
paign been witnessed. and we are
fighting for the same rights the
South was fighting for in those
days"
Griffin stated that one Of the
large newspaper ayndicates of the
country had SEN a representative to
Hidalgo county to aid in the cam
paign. "The friends Of the admins
tration claim we are injuring Hi
dalgo county by the publicity given
existing conditions" he said. I'VE
are not injuring Hidalgo county, we
are fighting TO save it."
Griffin stated that he is a demo-
crat; thta he intended to vote for
Governor Smith and the entire demo-
cratic sttae ticket, and though he
participated in the democratic pri-
maries he did not feel, in view Of re-
cent disclosures. he is under obliga-
tions 10 support the democratic
county ticket.
The McAllen attorney asserted that
administration leaders gave a bar
becue for voters Saturday and issued
instructions TO the effect that no
alien or other illegal votes would be
permitted.
IF that is true" Griffin said. 1--WE
will win the election by a decisive
majority"
Stating there had been no grand
jury probe of political Conditions in
the county despite repeated charges
Of inefficiency and incompetence
made at mass meetings, Griffin de-
clared that one of his first acts in
the event Of his election will be to
"impanel a grand jury which will
make a thorough investigation of ev-
ery department"
He charged that his opponent had
failed to do this; that the grand
juries Of the county were selected BY
one man who exercised an almost
unlimited control"
Claim Voters Inundated
kirgan said that efforts were being
made TO intimidate voters in the
Weslaco precinct.
"They are denouncing our effort to
secure "A federal Investigation, claim
ing il will halt land sales" Kirgan
said. 1T is a move TO save future
investors. | am for the fellow who is
here today; not for the one who is

Referring to the pencil" campaign,
the Wesiaco mayor declared the in
dependents would gain votes BY the
refusal of the courts TO permit them

Der s there will be at least $500 vot-
