THE
AN ADDRESS TO
LADY VOTERS OF VAL
VERDE COUNTY
Dear Ladies:
V\e, the undersigned citizens of \ al Verde County, being vitally interested in the welfare of the cattle,
sheep and goat laiseis ot Western Texas, and especially of Val \ erde and adjoining counties, and knowing
that at this time especially it is essential that we have as our representative in the United States Congress
one who is familiar with the stock raising business and the needs as well as the resources of our section, ap-
peal to .vou to come to our aid in the support ot Honorable Claude B. Hudspeth in his race for Representative
in Congress of the lfith Congressional District.
For twelve years we have depended upon Mr. Hudspeth as our representative in the Texas Legislature and
we know that during such time he has faithfully and efficiently worked to the interest of our industries, and
secured the passage of a great many measures beneficial thereto and has also prevented the passage of
measures proposed by others which would have been detrimental to the same.
We believe that wre can truthfully say to the ladies of this county and especially of the town of Del Rio,
that in all their efforts for the civic improvement of our town, and along patriotic lines, they have always been
able to rely ujion us for financial and moral support and encouragement.
We feel that at this time, when, in our candid opinion, it is so vitally essential to the sheep, goat and cattle
industries that we have a representaive in Congress upon whom we can, with abiding faith, rely, that our wo-
men should not be led away from the support of the man whom wfe desire as our representative, by eloquent
appeals to them upon prohibition and suffrage, of place seeking politicians.
We are not politicians, dear ladies, but w'e do know the needs of our own business and in all seriousness
and candor say to you that when you cast a vote against Mr. Hudspeth, you will be voting in direct opposition
to our material interests, and these of the business men of our county generally.
The National Congress is already overwhelmingly for prohibition as evidenced by recent legislation that
will result in the whole nation being dry before either Mr. Hudspeth or Mr. Cobb would take their seat in Con-
gress, and hence the election of Mr. Hudspeth could not in anv wav affect the uuestion of prohibition, however,
we know that Mr. Hudspeth is a man of his word and we can state to you upon our responsibility, that he would
not cast a vite in Congress nor raise his voice against the suppression of the sale of liquor. Is it not fair then,
good ladies, that we may ask you to aid us rather than hinder us in electing from this Congressional District
a representative upon whom we feel we can rely to carefully and ably protect our material interests in the halls
of Congress. We will willingly aid you in every way within our power by our vote and influence to forever
banish from our State and Country the baleful influence of liquor and its attendant vices, but we would beg
that you do not use the power of the ballot that has been entrusted to you, in sacrificing upon the altar of pro-
hibition, the material welfare of our flocks and herds.
