Hidalgo Up
Politics in Hidalgo county once
more came under discussion when
two witnesses charged that the re
publican party, by refusing to put
a ticket in the field, left the demo
cratic "machine” in control.
Clinton Fraser. Sr„ Edinburg,
said:
“It is universally understood
that Mr. Baker says to Mr. Crea
ger: Tleaae, Mr. Creager, you
stay off my preserves, and I’ll
stay off yours.’”
A Y. Baker, Hidalgo sheriff, is
recognized head of the democratic
machine, while Independent voters
in the county blamedR epublican
National Committeeman R. B.
Creager for their failure to elect a
republican ticket in the last elec
1 tion.
Five Belted
Fraser said that when a republi
can convention was held, five per
sons bolted and decided not to put
I out a ticket, while 60 more named
candidates for the republican party.
The five bolters were recognised
and the ticket drawn by the 60 was
thrown out by the state committee,
principally because Creager “pre
ferred not to have a republican
ticket in Hidalgo county.”
Orville Bullington,' Wichita
Falls, vice chairman of the re
publican executive committee, at
tempted to show that Creager
was in California at the time of
the Hldalro convention and could
not have known the facts. Both
