and advocate that which I
believed to be to the b^st in-
terests of the city as a whoje.
For the past fourteen months 1
have' held, by appointment,
the office of City Secretary,
and have acquired a familiar-
ity with the details of City
government, and with the co-
operation of the Conucil, ex-
pect to give, if* elected, aq.
economical, forward looking
administration of city affairs.
Ordinances shall be enforcr
ed or repealed; taxes shall be
equalized as near as possible
and the funds expended where
exists the greatest need.
Hoping that I may have a
liberal support and promising
that I will, if elected, do all in
my power to make El Campo
which is already the host town
to its inches in Texas, a still
r town, and one in which
pride will hot be dimin-
but one in which we
always be .glad to say our
