HUE HEARD IN
PLEA FOR TOTES
Political Rally at Lamm’s
Cotton Gin Attended by
Nearly One Thousand.
MUSSEY MAKES SPEECH
McAskill Defends His Rec-
ord as District Attorney.
Others Speak.
KI Mu-ser was the dominating figure
at the rally held Friday evening at
Lamm's Cotton Gin on South Flores
street where for nearly three hours
nearly 1000 people listened to th? plea
of fourteen candidates who had the en-
dorsement of organized labor. Every
reference to Al Mussey was greeted
with demonstrations on the part of the
audience. .... *
Probably the most enthusiastically
greeted speech of the evening was that
made by W. T. Crow who acting ns
master of ceremonies introduced Al
Mussey.
• Buck West does not want to re-
member what happened on oune 22 be-
tween fl and 10 o’clock on the third
floor of the city jail” Mr. Crow de-
clared. "Buck iVest .emembers being
..n the third loot of the city hall at that
nmc but that is as much as he can
conveniently remember. He-e is what
happened. He walked up to Al Mus-
► sev and said:
“ ‘AI I want to renew that agree-
r ment with you. If I am endorsed by
. organized labor you will withdraw and
> throw your support in my favor. If
i vou are endorsed by organized labor. I
; will withdrew and throw my influence
i on your side.’
i "Al Musser and Buck West shook
• hands on this pledge bn. Buck West
[ not having received the endorsement
! of organized labor as he expected has
> mede it convenient for himself to for-
> ge* the compact.”
Tells How Vote Will Go.
! The speaker declared that the race
was between Mussey Tobin and Buck
i West. Besides the votes of his friends.
• Mussey he said ill receive the solid
“ vote of organizer! labor and labor has
over 12000 paid poll tares in this
t county. Tobin he said will get the
- entire negro vote and was welcome to
• it. West he declared will get the
* "silk stocking" vote in the Fourth ward
*" that has heretofore always been’ in
favor of Tobin. Dan Hill will ’get
what is left.“if there is any. Mr. Crow
told the audience.
As Al Mussey came forward on the
' platform he was given an ovation. He
declared be as willing to make an
affidavit concerning the pledge made
between Buck West and himself. In a
very brief talk he reviewed his record
as chief of police and denounced the
accusation of his opponents that he
was not active in law enforcement.
"During my career as chief of police.
I was always a subordinate under Phil
Wright. When be ordered mo to leave
<-ertain places alone. I could do noth-
ing else: If - am elected sheriff
I will not be under a similar handicap
that hampered my actions whe- I was
in the police department."
McAskill Defends Himself.
D. A. MeAskill candidate for re-
election as district attorney made a
long and tedious address during which
he explainer! in minute detail the
functioning of the judiciary system.
* Failure of the grand jury to indict
■ h- sail! is not because he is derelict in
his duty as a district attorney he
* said. Cases are entirely in the bands
< of a grand jury he stressed.
"Murder is never barred by the eta-
• tute of limitations. Charges can
filed at any time” he said.
* For both the crowded conditions of
. the docket and the dismissal of eases
- against keepers „f gambling houses
* be held the diatrict judge responsible. .
Gus Mauermaun. candidate for di«<
trict judge against S G. Ta. oe. <l*
. incumbent pledged the voters to be
- fair in the selection of grand jorors.
' He charged that there are SO men in
Bexar county from whom grand juries
have been impanelled. He declured that
he could name four men who will be
on the next grand jury. He promi' 1
. the voters that the wheel will be cleaned
and the grand juries Ik selected from the
- great mass of the citizens if be is
■ elected. He declared that the opposi-
tion was taking much stock in th fact
that the lawyers were endorsing the
candidacy of Judge Tayloe trot be de-
clared that their endorsement was due
to the fact that they wished to keep
in the good graces of the judge.
Worth Makes Denial.
Fred Worth candidate ‘or county at-
■ lorney denied the accusation that b
was a member of the Ku Klux Kirn.
“I have been a Mason for JO years
and I am proud of the fact. But. be-
cause I am a Jason dees n< t mean that
I am a member of the Ku Klux Klan.
My opponent ha“ d<cls <d that if I
would deny being a member of the Ku
Klux Klan he would go before the
grand jury with the names of every
klan member in Bexar county. To-
night I djay that I am a klan mem-
ber. Why hasn’t Newton gone before
the grand jury and done his duty as
« law-abiding citizen. y opinion is
• I bat be is going to stay as far away
• from the grand jury ra he can. Why
' I don’t know.”
Otto Biles candidate ■gainst Osceo-
a la Archer declared that place was
• not worth any more ' t. - public than
* the service it gives. He denounced the
• machine which be declares should be
* taken apart by the vet rs.
W alsh Tells Some Stories.
• Joe Walsh candidate for county
• dark entertained the audience with
* several well-told stories. He declared
* that the offiee bat be sought was not
• of great importance but that it did
• require a man who was born with a
• smile and who had the educational
* qualifications to willingly and efficiently
* serve the public.
"Slime and slander should have no
• pla« in a political campaign” declared
■ Iler Cordell candidate for juati -e of
* the peace place No. 1. against the in
’ . umbent Ben Fisk "But Ido belive.”
he continued. “ that the slime should
t be cleaned opt of city politics."

Ixmdon. July 15.—A serious food
shortage threatens tbe civilian popula-
tion occupied by tbe Republican mili-
tary forces in Ireland according to a
statement from Free State sourees.
Serioue privations are ascribed to tbe
commandeering of food supplies for

been seized without the least r gard
for the needs of the people and without
compensation to tbe owners.
The Republican i are declared 1 be
living on the country in tbe manner of
the invaders of feudal timer thereby
creating a epi t of intense bitterness
agaist themselves. Stoppage of com-
munications through the destruction of

be adding considerably to the suffering

EVADED DUH IN
PHYTDN KILLIND
Williams Makes Claim That
District Attorney “Passed
the Buck.”
KLAN ALSO DISCUSSED
Tobin Says Masked Men
Will Never Parade Here
While He Is Sheriff.
That Diatrict Attorney D. A. Mc-
Askill "passed the buck” on the Frank
Payton killing was charged by Frank
R. Williams candidate for district at-
torney before a large audience at South
San Antonio Frida- night. Sheriff
John W. Tobin following Mr. Williams
on the speaker’s stand declared that lie
would use all tbe power and force at
his disposal to prevent the parade of n
masked body of men iu San Antonio as
long as he is sheriff. Both speakers
were given hearty applause.
Nine candidates spoke at tbe South
San Antonio meeting which was the
first big rally to be held I. tbe court-
house candidates. A huge crowd filled
the Community House and gathered
around it and gave each candidate a
rousing reception. An ovation greeted
Mr. M illiams when lie took the plat-
form and cries of "go after him Wil-
liams" could be li a.d on every side.
Mr. William declared emphatically
that "McAskill passed tbe buck on tbe
Payton killing. He explained the
duties of the district attorney sta.ing
tb tbe grand jury logins to him for
guidance on law and evidence.
Owed Personal Services.
"If tbe district attorney had bad the
interests of the county at heart” Mt.
Williams declared "he would personally
have continued the attack when he de-
prived the federal courts of tbeir juris-
diction in this case and not left the
prosecution to the youngest and least
experienced of bis assistants.”
Declaring that "there are many
worthy men among the Ku Klux Klan.
Mr. Williams then Lunched into a de-
nunciation of its alleged evil influences.
He cbuiged that although McAskill
has the endorsement of the Ministerial
Alliance he dismisses u —aerous gam-
bling cases prosecuting only those who
are opposed to bin. politically. He also
offered to give information concerning
the district attorney's failure to prose-
cute a'man in San Antonio guilty of
"an atrocious crime and out on a $3OO
bond.”
“Is this tbe United States or Rus-
sia?” Mr. Williams inquired after cit-
iu cases where people charged with of-
fenses are kept >u jail five Of ’is
mouths without trial awaiting tbe fil-
ing of habeas corpus proceedings “for
each of which tbe district attorney gets
a fee of $16."
Mr. Williams closed bis talk with
the charge that the district attorney "is
attempting to .ay tbe stultifying hand
of politics on one of our district courts.”
Mexican Deputies Needed.
Sheriff Tobin who followed Mr. Wil-
liams replied to criticisms tbst be m-
plays Mexican deputies.
"1 have five Mexican deputies and
seven American deputies" the sheriff
said. "The five Mexicans I must hare
to find Mexican witne.ses for no Ameri-
can could find them."
These deputies be said are engaged
in serving tbe courts and making ar-
rests on grand jury indictmei i. Toere-
fore he said it would be impossible for
them to seek out every gambling house
ia tbe city as the Ministerial Alliance
would have them do but that tbe police
are charged with this duty. The minis-
ters he said "with all due respect to
them are not farnilia. with politics and
I doubt if they would know a citation
from a death warrant.”
The sheriff in an impassioned voice
declared that he was bitterly opposed to
the "invisible empire” of which "three
candidates for sheriff were at one time
members.”
"While I am sheriff if it takes every
ounce of power and force at my dis-
posal” he said defiantly "men will
never parade with Basks on in San
Antonio. 1 challenge tbe 1600 members
ii>orted to be here to try it.”
Talking to the working men in the
audience Sheriff Tobin said the '-n’y
offense lie had ever committed was to
to ride the street cars 20 years ago
when attempts were being made to dy-
namite them. He pointed to tbe fair
treatment his office is according tbe
men in the present strike but warned
them that if attempts are made to dyna-
mite property "I'll be there."
Takes Shot . Black Crowd.
Tom J. Newton candilr.te for re-
election to the county attorney’s office
opened the meeting. He had no criti-
cism to make of bin opponent he said
other than that "he is out looking in.”
lie was loudly applauded when in: told
bis audience that "this is a bad time
to make a change and have a repetition
of what we have had in tbe city.”
Mr. Newton discussed the records of
bis office asserting that it is seif-eus-
tiining and that lie takes in one-third
of tbe excess fees paid into tbe coffers
of the county. His office also has col-
-1 eted thousands of dollars in back
taxes without any expense to the coun-
ty be said whereas tbe city pays a per-
centage for these collections.
Jack R. Burke county clerk tbe
next speaker pointed to the fact that
he has kept bis campaign promises and
made his office both efficient and eco-
nomical. "Yet I atn paying my em-
ployes a living wage" he adden.
Judge Osceola Arch . defied his op-
pouent to "show where there is_ any-
thing wrong with my office." Hi’ op-
ponc-Lt he said "doesn't even know
wbat tbe job is." He challenged the
aspirant tor hie office to "produce one
letter of recommendation from a for .er
employer.”
Blindness Result of War Service.
Replying to bi’ opponent’s criticism
of bis blindness. Judge Archer explained
that he became blind "while serving as
a volunteer in the Spanisb-AmeriiMn
Dr. GiaMw<s?h who presided at the
meeting paid high tribute to Ja<ob

ing that be "has pulled us ou of tbe
