BROWNSVILLE DEMOCRATS are
predicting the coldest vhter on
record as a result of Ae recent
election.
Prediction is based upn a proph-
ecy Of the late Colonc Robert G.
lngersoll, atheist and faious orator.
He engaged in political debate
Just prior to his death.
In the course of thi debate he
prophesied:
when Texas goes rerblican hell
y will freeze over"
To substantiate their apprehen-
!. sions local democrats pott out that
Ingersoll was considered an infal-
lible prophet on MATES political
but whether his powers extended TO
the realms of meteorolgy has not
been ascertained.
z. B. Creager, republican ma
tional committeeman, ctsiders this
prediction with the assertion that
there is no relation lntween he'll
and Texas. and that ans frigid tenn
rerature in the forme place will
rot affect Texas.
