COUNTY RACE
CALM AS POLL
DAY NEARS

With the county election just over
the hill, indications are that Cam
eron county is in for one OF the
calmest political years in its his
tory.
In glaring contrast to the heated
stumpings of two years ago. there
may not be so much as n clash
from the rostrum this year.
A large proportion Of the incum-
bents are being returned to office
without opposition. Candidates for
those few offices which are contest
ed do not seem inclined to open
clashes before the voters.
Only three races-sheriff, district
clerk and judge Of the county court
at law-give any indication of de-
veIoping fireworks. Frank Brown,
incumbent In the sheriff's chair, is
opposed by Mike Manahan, who
gave him a close race last election.
Both are actively combing field for
votes. but it is not likely that they
will take the stump.
District Clerk John Seaman IS
opposed by j. j. Bishop, present
county auditor, and James Browne.
Browne is conducting a vigorous
campaign over the county by per-
sonal solicitation. Unless action is
taken within the next few DAYS.
neither Of these candidates will face
the voters from the stand.
Judge John I. Kleiber Of the
county court at law is opposed by
N. G. Cofer and E. t. Yates. Both
Of the latter are Brownsville bar
risters. Yates is active with a cam
paign Of personal solicitation. Judge
Kleiber has expressed himself as in
favor Of stumping the county with
his opponents.
