San Antonio Move Presented
In Bexar county there is the
remnant Of a once powerful
political ring that is Smarting
under a defeat administered TO il
IN the first primary. 1t Is badly
WOUND d because your present at
torney general saw fit TO charge
two Of its members with illegal is
suance Of poll tax receipts after
evidence and sworn affidavits had
been gathered showing c~onclusively
that over $500 illegal poll taxes
had been issued. Mayor Chambers
OF Sar Antonio has endorsed Alfred
for attorney general. Reason Il out
for yourself.
This IS not a political talk. ladies
and gentlemen. I have IN my hand
a clipping from the San Antonio
Light which says in black and
white tina my opponent mas been
endorsed by that political machine,
9 machine that is the greatest men,
ace that ever threatened the sane

san BENrTO. Aug. i4-Political
meddling with economic conditions
has been the cause OF depression In
the United\States. said Harry Faux
Of Brownsville in speaking before
the Kiwanis club here at noon Wed
nesday.
He blamed legislation which
years ago permitted farmers TO
borrow Nney at low rates Of inter-
est for long periods Of time. This.
he said, encouraged unnecessary bor-
rowing. Farmers who would not
borrow at eight per cent. borrowed
government money at two to five
per cent.
Purchase by federal farm boards
OF surpluses was hit because such
supplies Of agricultural products
must be thrown upon the market IN

zation does not occur.

Baylor Bears before their tussle

conference foe now. The battle put
ND by the Bruins was. without doubt.
an outstanding feature Of the mid
west invasion.
, Southern Methodist did little more
than It's followers anticipated In
holding Notre Dame to a single
touchdown margin. but Purdue had
been rated a top-heavy favorite over
the Bears. The fact that the Bap-
fists fought the Boilermakers on al
most even terms all the way and
lost only because their secondary

rivals.
On the strength of their form to

The Aggies' defeat at Lincoln en-

line functioned well. as was to be

the second half, but the inexperi-
enced backfield could gain only now
and then through the air.
