SAN PATRICIO COUNTY «;
DEMOCRATIC EXECUTIVE
_ COMMITTEE TO VOTERS
‘<*r
?>'• :
gp'
Mr
TTo the Democratic Voters of San
Patricio County:
It is only a short time now until
^the general election and this is to rt-
mind and urge upon every Democrat
-of San Patricio county the necessity
for getting out as nearly as possible
the full tlemocsatic ’ vote in this
county. There are a number of spe-
cial reasons why this should be done.
^ In 1928 we will have two democrat-
ic state conventions, one to select
delegates to the National convention,
and the either the regular State Con-
vention. The number of votes that
each county will have in these con-
ventions will depend upon the number
of votes cast in the county om Novem-
ber 2 for Dan Moody, the Democratic
nominee for Governor. The larger
the Democratic vote is on November
2 the larger the vote of your county
•will be in the State Convention.
The general election should not be
looked upon' as a perfunctory affair.
All the nominees of the party should
be elected by big majorities. If we
poll a large vote, it will give the
Democratic party of Texas more pow-
er in the National affairs of the party.
If we expeet Texas to hold her name
as “The Banner Democratic State” we
should send a solid delegation of Dem-
ocratic Congressmen to Washington.
The indications are that the Demo-
crats will controll the Aext House of
Representatives, and if they do, chair-
manships of ten of the most import-
ant committees will go tp Texas mem-
bers. If we succeed in these things,
it will give Texas a high place in the
National convention in 1928. All of
the nominees of the county and dis-
trict are urging that the Democrats
of this county support the nominees
of jthe Democratic party in this county.
As Democrats, therefore, let us for/
get any local 'differenced we may have
hat^ and let us give to-4ll the nomi-
nees of the Democratic party the old
ime majority for San Patricio county.
H. P. BEATTY;
County Chairman Democratic Execu-
tive Committee.
