WITH the Democrats meeting in

- Brownsville. Texas and the Val
ley again 90 a bit politically minded,
especially Is candidates in the
Democratic run-off take the field
in the last two weeks stretch.
Republicans meeting here said
this morning that a quiet. peaceful
meeting looms with little differences
of opinion in their ranks 4. The main
question before those present seems
how best to proceed TO have Mr..
Butte succeed Dan Mood rather
than Ross Sterling or Miriam Fer
guson.
Valley Democrats have many
friends in the gathering today and
many more in Valley Republican
ranks, but they cannot help but feel
that when the final vote count Is
taken It will be Ross Sterling. After
all is said and done. you know, the
best way, and in fact the only way.
TO get anyone elected 10 office IS
to get more votes for them than
their opponent receives.

newspapers Valley jewellers would
neve have known when the record

Never before in the history Of the
