I'm OUR
v ALLEY

DON'T know how the row is
coming out between the snti-smith
candidates on the state ticket and
the Cameron county democratic
committee.
But do know that Cameron county,
from a political standpoint, is achiev-
ing some national recognition just
now.
Tom Loves name, for example,
loomed rather large in Texas demo-
cratic affairs due to his opposition
to AL Smith.
Therefore when v. W. Taylor,
Cameron county democratic chair
man, came out with a statement
tina. he would oppose putting Loves
name, as a candidate for lieutenant
governor, on the Cameron ballot.
papers over the country seized upon
IL.
In New York. in Boston, in Chi
cago, it gained first page recogni-
tion.
Whatever the voter may think
about Love coming to Brownsville to
seek 70 get on the Cameron ballot
newspaper reporters in Brownsville
are having n good time, thank
you.
THERE ARE TWO other names
that will not appear on the Cameron
ballot, if the Cameron committee
has .i.s way.
These are Mrs. Edith Wilmans OF
Dallas, former state senator, who
wants the place now held BY Dan
Moody.
And Judge ". z. Hawkins of
Breckenridge, who also seeks the
gubernatoriai nomination.
Judge Hawkins formerly lived in
Brownsville.
Just goes to show wnst they do
to a man when he quits the Valley.
He resided here about 1912. Left
when he was elected to the state
supreme court.
Made the mistake Of not returning.
Perhaps il Judge Hawkins had
remained here this would never have
happened TO him.
UP AT AUSTIN Judge Hawkins
issues a statement declaring that
Governor Moody deserves impeach-
ment" for his alleged failure to en-
force the election laws.
Meaning, IL is assumed. that Gov
ernor Moody has in his hands the
r.
and Hawkins names onto the bal
lot.
Even intimates that the action is
being sponsored by so-called Moody
"henchmen."
Well, now, that's not so bad.
Just remember how they 90 about
It in Mexico.
SID HARDIN, ambitious to be
congressman from the fifteenth dis
trict, met John N. Garner at Dilley
the other day.
On the debating platform.
The subject. says the Mission man,
was the tariff.
In conversation over the tele-
phone Mr.. Hardin asserts that he
"put it all over" the present in
cumbent.
Mr.. Garner. fishing over in
Uvalde's crystal creeks, and perhaps
doing some shearing Of sheep, has
not yet been heard from.
THOMAS L. BLANToN. repre-
sentative in congress from the
Abilene district, favors closing i'm
migration doors for a period Of
seven years.
- Is said to have advanced that
thought in a speech at San Angus
tine, in East Texas, which is in Rep
resentative Box's district.
Representative Blanto1 speaks in
the Valley this weekend.
At which time, no doubt, he will
be careful to make even more clear
his ideas on the subject OF immi-
grafton.
HOW Is THE BETTING on the
sheriff's race?
That's a question that's going the
rounds in Cameron county these
days
