GARNER Club
MOVE STARTED
Hidalgo Plans For
County-Wid Or
g~anization

DONNA, May determination Of a
Garner-for-congress club for Hidal-
70 county was postponed ut a meet
ing held here Thursday night. A
similar meeting had been called ut
McAllen for May Is, and it YVES de-
cided to postpone action, representa-
tives from McAllen requesting that
this be done. The organization meet
ing will be held some time the latter
part Of next week, the date to be an
nounced the first of the week.
A representative group OF demo-
Gratis met here, and were enthusiastic
in their determination to form an
"air-tightn organization that would
get every Garner vote in Hidalgo
county 70 the polls. The Cameron
county organization plan was dis
cussed and endorsed and the Hidal-
20 organization is expected to be
formed upon the same basis.
Under this plan a central commit
tee, composed of n man and woman
voter from each commissioner pre-
cinct is organized, and the central
committee appoints the organization
heads for the various voting pre-
%cincts, each voting precinct chairmen
being responsible for the vote in
their respective precincts, and the
members of the central committee
handle the general organization in
their respective commissioner pre-
cincts.
The opinion was expressed at the
meeting that Garner would carry Hi
dalgC county by a decisive majority,
but that il should be the object of
the organization to get every Garner
vote to the polls, and register n vote
which would clearly indicate the pop-
ularity Of Congressman Garner in
this part Of the fifteenth district.

KENNY GIFTS

Z Have Been Friends
Since Boyhood In
East Side N. T.; Was
Texas Cowboy


NEW YORK, May Ii Up "A
friendship Of IS years that started
when both were boys on New York's
lower east side attracted attention
today as the result of the revelation
that William r. Kenny contributed
$4,000 and loaned $4,000 more 70
Governor Alfred z. Smiths campaign
Tor the democratic presidential nom
nation.
Kenny. after a varied career in
Texas as a cowboy and n railroad
worker, returned to New York to ac-
cumulate a fortune as a contractor.
he Lsver has been active in poll
tics.
Testimony before the senate cam
paign fund investigating committee
BY George r. Van Nance, Governor
Smiths pre-convention campaign
manager. Of kennv's contributions
caused no surprise among the friends
Of the two men.
Friendship Lauded
The governor. speaking Of his
friendship with Kenny, recently said
There is nothing in the world that
Bill Kenny wouldn't do for me. Why,
Bill Kenny would take his shirt off
Tor me, IL there was any call FOR
IT,"
Kenny, ut one time, discussing his
relationship with the governor, said
Il count my warm friendship with
Al Smith one OF the most happy
events in my career. But my rela-
tionship with him goes no further
than that. He does not ask me for
advice. / do not offer any. The
governors private and political life
~ an open book. Anybody can read
". The governor is n most remark
able man. He does not need an ad.
wiser"
Got State Contracts
Kenny is a general contractor.
Testimony was given before the
senate committee that he had rom
structed state roads and installed
pipe for public service corporations.
Inquiry was also made whether he
was the same Kenny who had SUBJ
mitted bids for the purchase of gov
eminent vessels from the United
States shipping board.
Mr.. Kenny is a man OF great
wealth, isn't he" Senator Barley
asked.
"Oh. yes" Van Nance replied. "He
is very wealthy. l don't think S70.-
600 matters in the least to him. He
would do anything for the governor
because Of his friendship for him"
kenny's father was q battalion
chief in the fire department and a
hero to the youthful Al Smith. whose
father was n truckman. The two
boys were constant companions, in
and out of the fife house.
Young Kenny ran away from home
and Smith stayed in New York and
went into politics, but the two never
lost touch.
Returning to New York in 1898,
Kenny was married TO Miss Mary Z
Hickey, and with $40 in the treas
ury, they started housekeeping.
Friends of Smith suggest that when
he was married soon after. his finan-
cial status probably was little better.
In time Kenny built up a contract
ing business described as one of the
biggest in the state, with an annual
turnover estimated at around s4O,-
100000. His fortune is said to be in
the vicinity Of 10000, 900 to s4O,-
600, 200.
