SIX PARTIES HAVE
PLACE ON BALLOT
• >
The official ballot for the gen-
eral election to be held on Nov, 2,
will consist of six separate tick-
ets *tn addition’to the proposed
constitutional amendments.
The political parties whose of-
ficial tickets will appear on the
ballot are the Democrats, two
factions of the Republicans,
Americans and Socialists, with
one coiumn left for independent
candidates. %
The Democratic ticket is the.
only one that is complete from
presidential' electors down to
constable and public weighers.
Both Republican tickets- have
state ord national nominees, the
national pare being the same on
both, but. one contains the name
of John G. Culberson for Gover-
nor ond the other that of H. Cap
ers. the latter being commonly
known ns the candidate of the
“black and tans.” »
Neither of the Republicans
tickets have nominees for county
offices.
The Socialists and Americana
have canoidates for state and
national offices only, and the in-
dependent ticket will contain a
list of the offices but no names of
candidates, and the voter if he or
she so desires, can write in the
name of any person under tire
office. . .
The ballot will also contain the
affirmative and negative of three
constitutional amendments as
follows:
A proposal to increase the tax
limit in cities of 5,000 and lest,
from a maximum of 25c on the
$100 valuation to $1 50 on the
$100 of taxable property. This
amendment, \l adopted, would
not raise the taxes, but merely
allow the voters of the towns and

cities to increase their own tax
rate. The adoption of this
amendment would make it possi-
ble for many towns to have pdb-
lie improvement. * like water-
works which are noV prohibited
from doing so by i\ison of the
fact tlmt the tax rate of, 25c will
not take care of the interest and
sinking fund of bond issues for
such purposes,
Another proposed amendment
is similar to the above except
that It applies to the local school
tax rate, and if adopted would
remove the limit altogether and
leave the qualified voters of any
district free to tax themselves
for school purposes as they saw
prosier. ‘
The other amend meth seeks to
abolish the fee system of paying
public officials. The fee' system rs
productive of much graft where
the officials are inclined to take
advantage of the opportunities it
offers, and likewise results in in-
equalities in the matter of com-
pensation, as some county offici-
als can and do make more money
out of their offices without doing
scarcely any work themselves,
than pi>r most important state
offiicials.— Mesquiter.

Democrats Anxious for
Larfe vote November 2.
At a recent meeting of the
State Democratic executive com*
mittee, held at Wace, it was the
sense of those present that an
aggressive campaign shonld be
made to get Democratic voters
to go to the polls on election day
Nov. 2nd.
It was stated by several mem-
bers that in certain counties in
South and Southwest Texas the
American party had considerable
strength and that unless the
Democrats were aroused to the
necessity of voting it was possi-
ble for the American party can-
didates for local offices to win in
such counties. It was made
clear that this danger applied on-
ly to local or county officers in a
few counties, and that there was
nt> danger as far as any district
was concerned as to the State as
a whole.
However, even though it is not
necessary to insure the election
of the Democratic nominees for
district and State offices, the
committee is naturally desirous
of seeing a large vote polled.
The RSpublican and American
politicians ape'quite active and
are making broad claims. Their
predictions are not to be taken
seriously, as far as any chance
of electing their candidates is
concerned, but it is expected
that the capacity of these parties
will bring out a full vote of their
members, and that being true,
the Democrats must vote or
make tjieir vote look small. Of
course, it is understood that
some disgrunted Democrats will
vote for the American party or
Republican candidates of perhaps
not vote at all, hence this makes
It Inoumbant on the loyal Demo-
crats to vote this year, ho that
teey will not be classed with
those who refuse to make good
their pledge to support the nom-
inee. of the peimary in which
theo participated.— Mesquiter.
