THE MEXICAN VOTE.
IT IS WITH A FRANKNESS that U
admirable that the Texas Republi-
can Council announced Thursday that
it is making plans to corral the Itfex-
icaa-TOte of Texas in the elections of!
this year. We have grown accustom-4
ed to more diplomatic methods otj
handling the Mexican vote than those; i
which the Republicans announce they
are planning to employ and we have
grown accustomed to more or less se'- ;
crecy in the development of such'
plans. But the open frank statement
of the Republican Council that It him
"employed an interpreter and arrange
for displaying posters advising -"Mexjj;
jeans-how to vote as a part of itjf
campaign to secure the support ol
the dusky sons of Montezuma is a
new wrinkle in Texas politics. Y

entire nation will have been Iuve-
toried and as soon as the clqri
work can be done the result will
announced.
Citizens of Brownwood are air
