Friends Of Cobb Vote!
Ballots Alone Will Count
pOBB'S friends must not forget the primaries Saturday.
Friends and stipaoiteis of Hudspeth are organized and will leave
nothing undone to get out their vote.
Friends of Cobb and of the things be represents most be as active. They
must go to the polls AWD VOTE. If the polls are crowded friends of Cobb
must wait patiently until they have voted. It is the votes cast that will
count. Enthusiasm and good intentions will not elect a man. UNLESS
YOUR BALLOT -IS PLACED IN THE BALLOT BOX FOR COBB it does
him no good for yon to be enthusiastic for him.
It is not so much a matter of men as a matter of principles. Cobb
stands for the things that the people of this district stand for. Hudspeth's
record shows that he has been out of sympathy with the things the people
of the district stand for.
A vote for Cobb is a rebuke to Hudspeth principles and a vote for a man
who stands for the things the better element of people in the 16th congres-
sional distr'ct stand for; also for a man who will have Some influence at
