AFTER ALL why argue at this
time over the matter of voting
road bonds?
Judge Dancy in a statement in
The Herald Sunday pointed out that
if the fci Jardin Los Fresnos and
La Feria water districts vote bonds
for drainage under their present
plan of organisation it will be pos-
sible to i|isue any considerable
*+iiount of road bonds for some time
.o come.
.This matter of drainage is really
of mote importance than road bonds.
If the soil becomes unproductive I
theie will be no need of roads. The
fanners must be given e\ery oppor-
tunity to protect llieir investments.
The lunus must be drained.
After that is taken care of roads
may be built.
in the meantime The Herald is
for the four key toad projects and
a system of leeder roads to serve
every possible farm community in
the county.
It is for the Barreda-Point Isabel
it is tor the extension of the state
highway from its piesent terminus
north to the Willacy county line.
It is for a road through El Jardin
and from the east end of El Jardin
to the beach ut Boca Ctoica.
it is for* a highway along the riv-
rr to connect with the proposed Hi-
'•Igo county loud to the Cameron i
%nty line near Santa Maria.
1 Prosperity follows good roads
paved streets.”

pre is little teason to vote a bond j
ue for road purposes.

p to adjust that mutter is not likely

or even later.

Brownsville is soon to have mod-
ern bus line transportation.
The Brownsville Transit Company
following a franchise granted by the
city commission has purchased two
splendid busses direct from the fac-
tory. They huve arrived.
Operations are expected to begin
on Juue 1.
The busses are comfortable; easy
to enter easy to leave; safe to ride
and will fill a real need in the every
day life of the citizens of Browns-
ville.
It is inevitable that the city
eventually will have to establish a
parking time limit in the business
district. 'that will cause business
and professional men to leave their
ars at home. They will use the
•usses. Women coming into town
br one reason or another will find
t more convenient to use the
.usses than to spend a long time
bunding the blocks in search of a
•lace to park.
The bus line operation is in hands
fhich realize the importance of
.irue schedules insuring dependable
•ervice—an important element in the
ruccess of all transportation.

jL Interest in statewide politics
-AVoinises to begin showing up in the
.Jllley during the present week.
The opener comes tonight with
iouncenient by Dan Moody sup-
vters that a county-wide meeting
his behalf will b« held in the
rnty courthouse in Brownsville to-
ght at 8 o’clock.
Lynch Davidson arrives in the
alley Wednesday for a stay of sev-
eral days.
There are something like 18000
voters in Cameron and Hidalgo coun-
ties and their number makes them
very much worth going after.
Anyway it’s to be a “Jim-Dan-D*
i race as someone out in West Texas
has suggested.

DAN DERIDES
JIM’S SPEECH
Would be Unworthy of
Anyone But Author
Moody Declares
SAN ANTONIO. Texas. May 24.—
Dan Moody candidate for gov-
ernor today gave out a statement
assailing representations contained
in the opening speech of James K.
Ferguson made at Sulphur Springs
last Saturday. The statement in
part follows:
"The campaign utterance of Mr.
Ferguson delivered at Sulphur
Springs/yesterday is characteristic
of him. and as a political expression
it would not be worthy of any man ;
in public life except its author. It
is characterized by camouflage and a |
reckless disregard of facts and is
typical of a mountebank und a dema-
gogue. It demonstrates again before
the people of Texas Mr. Ferguson’s
habitual desire to mislead und de-
ceive them. Obviously he is striving
to mislead them even if it becomes
necessary to make statements which
he cannot himself believe to be true.
Klan Charge Denied.
"For example he attempts to raise
the Klan question and by a labored
harangue endeavois to make it ap-
pear that I am cither in league with
or a member of the klan. Whatever
else Mr. Ferguson may believe about
me and however despised I may be
in his opinion there is one thing
certain and that is that Mr. Fergu- ■
son does not believe that I am either
a member of or have any connection
with the klan and he knows that I
am not now and never was in sym-
pathy with that organization.
“He makes thi# reckless statement
that in 1922 I took an active part in
the support of a klan candidate for
senator. That is untrue. I did not
support or vote for either Ferguson
or a klan candidate. I was elected
district attorney on an anti-klan
ticket in the primary of thab year
and was elected Attorney General on
the same ticket in 1924.
“Ferguson’s reference to the
Houston incident will * convict him
before his friends and foes alike of
political insincerity of baing a man
larking in candor and frankness. It
makes him appear as a twister of
words rather than an exponent of
truth.
One Flogger Pardoned
“He makes reference to the fagt
that I had assistance in the prosecu-
tion of the flogging cases in Wil-
liamson county. I am wondering
who assisted him in making up his
mind to have the governor restore
citizenship of one or more of the
men convicted in those prosecutions.
“He condoned the offence of at
least one of those men by having the
governor restore his citizenship.
“In desperation he is trying to

DAN JDK BET
IS DISGRACE
LYNCH SAYS
Highest Offices Are on
Plane of Crap Game
Davidson Declares in
Dallas Statement
• By The Associated Pres*}
DALLAS. Tex.. May 24. Charging
that two highest office* within the
gift of the people of Texas had been
placed upon the plane of a "crap
game” Lynch Davidson well known
financier and lumberman and guber-
natorial candidate decried the Fer-
guson-Moody wager in a statement
issued here last night.
In her opening campaign speech
Saturday. Governor Miriam A. Fer-
guson declared that if Attorney Gen-
eral Dan Moody also M candidate for
governor leads her one vote in the
primary she would resign imme-
diately. provided Moody would re-
sign if she led him 25000 votes.
Moody countered with an acceptance
in an address at San Antonio Satur-
day night waiving "Mu's 25000 vote
margin.
"Jim Ferguson proxy governor of
fers to bet the office of governor
against the office of attorney gen-
eral. Dan Moody accepts the bet.”
In these words Mr. Davidson epitom-
ized the challenge and its acceptance.
Say* Office* Di«gr«ced
"The honor and dignity of these
two great offices is insulted and dis-
graced by their incumbents to a de-
gree that brings the blush of shame
to every decent aitd right thinking
eitlxen in this state.” Davidson de-
clared. “The legal and moral codes
of Texas condemn gambling even
when it involves property owned by
the gamblers.
“'The offices held by the governor
and attorney general are solemn
trusts granted by the people of Tex-
as. The holder* of these offices hav©
no more right to gamble them away
than they would have to gamble

t *
Memorial Day services planned b?
the John Hansen Post of the Ameri
can Legion on the Las Rucias bat
tlefield at Galvtston ranch probably
will be held at some other place dm
to the fact that the war departmen'
has not authorized the return of th«
cannon taken by the Athenian Club o
San Benito from the historic ground
and that such authority is not likep
to be given in time for the restora
tion of the piece.
* An investigation made shows tha
the war department authorized th«
removal of a cannoa from the battle
field by the Athenian Club. It is sup
posed that the club removed th<
wrong cannon under a misappre
hension after it was discovered tha*
it had been used in making interna-
tional boundary and flood work sur-
veys.
The American Legion in Browns-
ville took up the matter of havinp
the cannon returned with the army
officers at Fort Brown who have
made an investigation. Either the
consent of the San Benito club or ar
order form the war department wiP
be necessary for the replacing of th<
cannon and it is expected that thi*
will not occur in time for the cele-
bration that had been planned by
the Leigon on Galveston ranch.
