Dame Rumor Busy With Hidalgo Politics

ker decides to make the race the
League Will be against him TO q
man and that he cannot possibly
carry Hidalgo county. though the
strength OF the entire population
would not be sufficient to affect his
election. Politicians in TT. Worth,
Dallas, Houston, Austin and San
Antonio are enthusiastic over the
proposed candidacy, Nh. Bakers
friends state, and predict that he
will undoubtedly win. as he will have
the support of the big business in
t~erests, the sheriffs' organizations
and the rangers, as well as many
others, who will work with al force
for his election. Final decision Of
Nj. Baker. however, will depend Of
course upon the number and identity
OF the entrants in the primary for
governor.
Dozen Sheriff Prospects
The office of sheriff. is, therefore,
left open TO a dozen aspirants. 1t
is charged by the League that this
office dominates all other county Of
iiceS and that the sheriff Is the
king OF a group OF Servile satel-
liteS, but that il a League candidate
is elected the office will at once
resume its normal status. II an adj
herent Of the Baker regime is lucky
enough to land that position, Lea
que leaders believe, or at least fear,
that he will at once assume the
mantle thrown off by his predeces-
o and the county will be no bet
ter off than at present.
Just here an element appears
which, at first thought to be OF
great advantage TO the League, and
ardently sought after by that or
%ganization, now threatens to be-
come something OF an obstacle, IA
not an actual foe. If certain
Spanish-American leaders who have
been interviewed on the subject
know what they are talking about,
Efforts have been consistently made
by the League to enlist the SYM
pathy and support OF the large

ton, upon the plea that they, as
well as the majority OF Americans.

that the Latins have been partial

in secret, placing a Spanish ticket

Three Tickets?
In the event three tickets are
placed in the field, 1t is hopefully
predicted by the League that their
men will win; while, on the other
hand. IL a Spanish ticket Is also
placed in the field, thus making q

ticket should also be entered). those
whose judgment Is considered most
reliable say that the result would
