Brownsville, Texas and the Val
ley again 60 a bit politically minded,
especially as candidates in the
Democratic run-off take the field
in the last two weeks stretch.
Republicans meeting hero said
this morning that a quiet. peaceful
meeting looms with little differences
of opinion in their ranks . The main
question before those present seems
how best to proceed TO have MI.
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

their opponent receives.

Valley has another great asset In

There were solid lines Of cars coming
and going.
AN TOP OF this there is a general
development in the offing, the

rarely seen before. One Of the lat
est OF these is the taking over OF
the Barreda tract by the James
Dickinson company. A. D. Dickin-
