SAN ANTONIO, July 6-Pl-
The Spanish governors palace. 200
years old and around which there
are entwined many legends Of early
history. has been retrieved from the
inroads of time and ~inattention and
last night again was the scene Of a
brilliant function, when the city Of
Sn Antonio formally opened 10 al
ter bringing IL back 20 life with an
expenditure OF 100000.
The ancient structure was erect
ed in the 1905. but for many years
had gone unnoticed as its second
hand clothing tenant on Military
plaza kept its crumbling walls al
most covered with his displays.
Miss Adina de Zavalla and 9TH
ers undertook a campaign 10 save II
for its tradition. And the interesting
era il represented in San Antonio's
checkered historical life. In 1928 an
item OF S55.000 was included IN a
bond issue and this sum was used
to purchase the property. privately
owned. The city spent another S50,-
600 70 replace the old structure and
make its walls more stable.
Yesterday and last night brilliant
lights again burned IN the old pal
ace and there was social activity
there once more. Hundreds graced
its reclaimed rooms at a formal
opening.
Present were four Of the living de-
scendants Of Col. Ignacio Perez, who
in 1904 purchased the palace and
was in direct descent from the early
Spanish governors. They were

1t was explained that an office
employing probably four or five per-
sons Will be opened in the town Sc
lected. These employees will consist
of a local director. a typist and
probably n or two agents. The

bureau on a cooperative plan with
other states, and that ov-- 100000

The bureau is one Of the many
steps which the present administra-
ton is making In its program OF

Based on this, his doctrine was
for democrats to vote for democrats

them, then to follow its lead and
vote for whomever they felt like.
Adhering to such a policy. he said.

Shackles Off
When the supreme court decis-

shackles and allowed democrats 70

After getting all this before the
voters, the prince Of H0overcrats
then proclaimed himself as an
''anti-machine democrat" and the
only candidate in the race who
would declare himself as such.
Whether he was speaking in Hidal-

same to him. He is against them,
he declared, and always will be.
