Land Salesman Lecturer Proved Very Interesting.

A very interesting lecture by Frank Caldwell was given at the opera house Thursday evening. Mr. Caldwell was lecturing in the interest of a real estate company and the aim is to secure investors- in the lower Rio Grande valley -of Texas. His brief history of Mexico and his discussion of the present trophies proved very interesting. He is an ardent supporter of the cause of the constitutionalists and arraigned Huerta in bitter terms. He expressed admiration for the* martyred Madero and said that he felt sure that the constitutionalists under Carranza and Blanco and Villa would be successful and establish a stable form of government that will permit the peons to secure homes for themselves and thus in time create a government that is worthy in every way. Mr. Caldwell praised the attitude of President Wilson and Secretary Bryan and said that the people should hold up their hands and stand for the cause of the downtrodden poor of Mexico. Their cause is the same cause for which the colonist# fought in ’76, declared the speaker. Beautiful views of Metico City were shown and many views illustrated the agricultural development of the delta of the Rio Grande. At the conclusion of the lecture a number of/ questions were asked by the auditors and answered by Mr. Caldwell. The lecture was free and was quite a treat to all who heard it.
