BROWNSVILLE and the Valley
ID today 60 TO the Polls to vote.
If 1t were not for the five
constitutional amendments little
interest would be shown over the
state except In the cases OF the
Reno Eickenroht, republican OF
Seguin, and w. K. Hopkins, DEM
crat Of Gonzales. and the cam
paign around San Antonio against
Wurzbach.
Down IN the Valley, however, is
to be found the one real hot spot.
This Of course is the i.yht between
IRE democrats Of HicAlgo county
angi the good government league
followers. Rangers have made their
appearance. evidently to prevent
such an after-match as vas eX-
perienced by Hidalgo county ir
1928.
The red hot interest in Hidalgo
county will draw out a full vote
there, but for Willacy and Cameron
county it remains 10 remind all
voters that II is the duty Of every
citizen to cast his ballot.
AS this is being read i. is probably
rot too late 70 do so. If you have
not voted, get up and go, and take
the good wife with you. Texas
wants an expression from you.
THE amendments Is listed else
where on this page should be
supported. While probably little
study has been made Of the
propositions, Governor Moody and
Ross Sterling today come out flat
footedly for all. II would not here
be advocated that the people blindly
follow any two men, but the
majority Of men in the limelight in
Texas have at some time OF other
expressed themselves as favoring
the changes, and all will not be
wrong.
IN the Texas ticket appear the
ballots Of the communist and
socialist, and space for the
independent voters.
One is the Red ticket, which
would overthrow the present Ameri-
can government, and substitute for
IL a scheme Of letting everything
take carr of itself. II would lead TO
chaos, except that after it had
heenkin operation for q while. the
stronger men and stronger clique
OF the Reds would take control Of
things in a manner far more throt-
ting TO the average man than to-
day is dreamed Of.
Anyone wishing q terSe picture
81 this situation in America should
read Owen p. Whites article in the
last issue OF Golfers. He makes
revelations in that article far more
startling than anything he ever
wrote about the Valley.
DANGERS are stationed al Edin-
m burg and Weslaco today TO
keep the peace and vouch for
2 fair ballot. Early reports from
Edinburg were to the effect that
one OF the largest ballots ever
known in that county would be
cast today. There have been over
10000 poll tax receipts issued in
Hidalgo county and the majority
of these Will be cast. it was said
today.
