Select List At
August Meet
Especial to the Herald

fDDtLA14 ~ NAFL
McALLEN, Tex, June 2l-Forty-
eight candidates have announced
on the democratic ticket in Hidal-
90 county for a county and district
offices. subject to the action Of
the voters in the democratic
primaries July 26.
The candidates named are to be
listed on n of two tickets for the
general election next November,
the other being the Good Govern
ment ticket, which grew out a
Citizens-Republican party which
participated in the general election
of November 1928 in opposition TO
the administration members who
mad perpetuated themselves ID OIL
flee Oh the democratic ticket.
Recently a movement was under
way for q clean up OF the
Democratic party in Hidalgo county,
the old county executive committee
announcing that 1t would resign in
a body and turn the affairs over
to a new committee named by the
people. Previously, Marshall Nc
nhenny, chairman for over a de-
cade. had resigned and Lloyd 2.
Bloodworth. former secretary OF
the Edinburg Chamber Of Com
merce, was selected in his place.
Many CHANCES
When the movement spread over
the county for a reorganization Of
the Democratic party, Bloodworth
stated that he would step aside
with the rest Of the committeeman
and allow a new man TO take his
place.
Accordingly, a mass meeting was
held at the high school athletic
field in McAllen, at which the plans
we're outlined and democrats were
urged to go to precinct conventions
the following Monday and name
precinct representatives on the
county executive committee.
The new committeeman met as
per schedule and began by accept
ing the designations Of the old
committee members. Some disagree
ment was had on the successor TO
the chairman's seat and finally a
number Of the new committeeman
became disgruntled and submitted
their destinations from the Hidal-
20 county democratic executive
committee.
On the heels Of this action
several Of the leaders Of the re-
organized Democratic party an
nounced that they would be I'M
able to remain with the party longer
and had been forced 70 60 into the
ranks Of the Good Government
Party. They said from 1900 TO 1000
votes would follow them. Good
Government League candidates
will be selected at the convention
in August.
Recently the democratic or
%ganization pulled itself together
and decided upon Judge J. r. Carl
Of Edinburg for chairman OF tho
executive committee.

executive committee Monday after
noon at Edinburg candidates drew
for places on the ballot. and the

Post Once inspectors found that the plates

MORE ambitious still was the enterprise Of
one Joseph p. Serada of Chicago who did
business under the name Of Health Violet
Products.
Rare and fortunate the man or woman who
does not suffer from at least one of the ailments
he proposed to cure. The whole world was to
be his clientele. He said he would rid Gus
toners of:

All these could be cured by his "violet ray
machine Serada claimed and the regular
price of $35 would be reduced for limited time
only to SIS.
The machine was to be plugged into ordinary
house electric current and applied to the human
body, whereupon it would quickly cure pain and
disease
RUT the Federal Trade Commission investt-
gated and found:
That Serada had copied his list of diseases
from a circular some one else had used previ-
ously.
That he knew nothing about the curative
value of either the machine its rays
That the machine when plugged in made a
violet color, but no violet ray, and it furnished
the same kind of mild stimulation to the body
that turpentine or red pepper ointment would
furnish, but no curative effect whatever.
The commission put stop to Health Violet
advertisements.
