FIRING ON FISHING BOATS ADMITTED
By RALPH L. BL'ELL
QUITE A KICK DID GREGG
Sawyer, Tulsa oil man, get when he
drove ever the hills of Starr county
the other day en route to Browns
ville from Saltillo.
As a first lieutenant on the stall
of Colonel Slocum, commanding the
Cavalry at Fort Brown in 1917 and
1918—
Mr. Sawyer put-putted over those
same hills leading the motorcyclized
machine gun outfit of those days.
As the SO odd motorcycles would
roar down the hills and through the
arroyos—
They made quite a racket, he re
minisces.
^nd the peaceful ranchers of Roma
fed other points—
Not quite knowing what it was all
about,
Would disappear like frightened
rabbits.
Mr. Sawyer, whose better half is
the former Miss Louise Putegnat of
Brownsville
Left the hills of Mexico with Mrs
Sawyer and two daughters for a taste
of the sea breezes of Port Isabel—
Before returning to the torrid zone
of central Oklahoma.
a m
HIS ACCOUNT OF THE FEAR
engendered by the crackling motor
cycle exhaust, reminds ol the im
pression created along the river
front on both sides when the first
army airplanes made them recon
noissance of the border.
As the huge birds soared over the
territory, like scattering coveys of I
quail, ranch children and their pi r
•nts scurried into the brush.
When the drone of the motors had
completely died away, peering facek |
through the tangled mesquite showed
the amazement the unknown and the j
mysterious visitation had created. !

AS WE UNDERSTAND THE
matter, city commissions are em

cut < or have cut) the weeds and grass
on vacant lots where owners fail so
to do.
Cost of the cutting may be assessed

sam. as taxes.
We would like to see. as suggested
by a letter to this column, every city
commission in the Valley take steps
to regularly clean vacant lots in j
their respective cities.
The marked improvement in the
general appearance of things would
certainly tend to make a hit with
our summer and winter visiters.
And while on the subject, there
are a few rights cf way throughout
the Valley counties that could stand
the same sort of attention from the

IT IS GETTING ABOUT THAT

Time to think seriously about the

That there are plenty of folk up

would be glad to pitch in and help—

Carrying it a little further, we
suggest that they be definitely asked,

Dictator Long to Be Democratic
Presidential Candidate in ’36
Republicans Cheer In Belief Kingfish Will Be Able To Split
Party And Hand Control Back To GOP
• ____
(Copyright, 1935. by the (ff))
WASHINGTON. Aug. 13—vP>—
Senator Long (D-La) has told
oolleagues In the senate that he
ha* decided definitely to run for
the democratic presidential nomi
nation In 1936.
He told them, furthermore, that
if President Roosevelt was re
nominated. he would run as an
independent, unless the repub
licans nominated someone he could
support.
Long’s plans were reported to
the Associated Press Tuesday by
several senators with whom he
talked. The Louisianan, however,
refused to discuss them, saying he
had no comment. He did say.
though, that if he ran. it would
no* be to “beat Roosevelt," but to
elect himself.
Republican senators in whom
Long confided were elated. They
felt his decision was a "big break"
lor the G.O.P.. and might swing
the election their way. For a long
time many republicans have felt
they could win if Long would run •
to take “radical” votes away from
the democrats.
One western republican senator,
whose state has gone democratic
in the pest two elections, said
there was no doubt it would
go republican, if Long should run.
He said the LouLsianan would
easily take enough votes from the
democrats to deliver the state's
electoral ballots to the republicans,
as LaPollette did in 1924.
Rivalling the Long reports in
capitol attention were denials by
Senators Glass and Byrd that
they wduld bolt the democratic
ticket next year. Taking notice of
published intimations to that ef
fect tnot carried by the Associated
Press*, the Virginians reminded :
neither “has ever bolted a party
nomination, local, state or na
tional.”
Long told his senatorial col
leagues that he would enter many
of the state primaries and give
President Roosevelt as much of a
battle at the convention as pos
sible. He said if the president was
lenominated he would then decide
whether to run independently or
join forces with republicans.
If the president should be op
posed by former President Hoover,
or someone of that type. Long said
he would run independently. He
predicted he would take such
states as Louisiana. Arkansas,
Texas. Mississippi, Georgia and
Florida away from the democrats.
But Long added, his colleagues
said, that if the republicans should
nominate Borah or some one of
that kind, he would Jump party
lines and throw his support to
the liberal republican candidate.
Though Long's plans excited
lepubllcans to high hopes for 1936.
they were not counting chickens
ahead of time They realised it
was possible for him to change
his mind. And some wondered
whether his strategy was not en
tirely designed to influence the
republican nomination.

Vote on Prohibition Repeal
Creates Mild State Interest
(Editors Note: This is the find
of a series of four articles explain
ing the seven constitutional
amendments submitted to a vote
at a special election August 24)
AUSTIN, Aug. 13.—A con
stitutional amendment proposing
repeal of Texas’ 16-year-old prohi
bition against intoxicating liquor,
cn which voters would ballot
August 24, incorporated three
main propositions.
Questions voters would read mi
the ballot state the three purposes:
repealing statewide prohibi
tion, prohibiting the open saloon
and providing for local option.”
Although it war contested more
bitterly upon submission than six
other proposals on the August 24
ballot, the repeal amendment has
provoked only a mild campaign.
Political veterans contrast the
electorate's, apparent apathy with
fiery campaigns leading to the7
voting of prohibition.
Texans followed the national
trend two years ago by modify
Ing the constitution’s dry clause
ic permit sale of 3.2 per cent beer.
Not since prohibition was voted
iu 1919, however, have Texans
balloted directly on repeal.
While the amendment provided
“the open saloon shall be and is
hereby’ prohibited” in event of
repeal, the task of defining a
saloon was retained as a legisla
tive prerogative. Debate during
submission revealed a wide vari
ance in definitions of a saloon.
Future legislatures, furthermore,
could contract or expand defini
tions enacted by preceding ones.
A unique proposition was de
veloped as the amendment would
give the legislature optional au
thority to establish a state mon
opoly. Regardless of the outcome
August 24, however, Texans would
ballot again in November, 1936. to
decide if a monopoly over hard
liquors should be mandatory’.
