GALVESTON, July lS-lmmediately after
breakfast caucus of Roberts friends was
held at Turner hall, Broadin presiding
Judge Broadn said he was .astonished TO |
learn the caucus was intruded upon by the |
non-supporters of Roberts, and hoped such
would not be in the present caucus, sald
the complaint by Ireland's friends was that
Roberts had not agreed to renouBce as a
candidate, and was not present to take part;
that Roberts was the choice OF the people
of Texas for governor, and the people
would support the man whom the Office
sought, and who had not sought the office.
He said the convention should nominate
no man who electioneered for HIMSELF that
Roberts friends should determine to put
him in nomination., and nothing would
please the people better.
Lair, of Collin county, said he was from
the Gibraltar of Texas democracy. If it
were known that Roberts would accept the
nomination, his county would be a unit for
him. After comparison of adminlstra-
tons he said he would not desire to attempt
to follow in his footsteps, and he who did
dug his political grave.
Carroll, of Denton, would, ii possible,
make Roberts governor. He reiterated
Lair's remarks; said if any other man in
| Texas. save Roberts, was nominated curses
| loud and deep would be sounded from the
gull to Red River, from the Sabine to the Rio
Grande. He looked to the Old Alcalde as the
Moses to lead out the democracy to victory.
Garce, of Huntsville, rose and said he was
not delegate. but friend
| A voice-"Are you for his nomination."
! Answer-"I am not" lCries of sit
down."l
On motion, he proceeded amid great dis
turbance, and said the Alcalde told him
that "those who know me ought to know
| if wanted the nomination would say so.
| could get the nomination and would be
elected" He said if Ireland could hold
one-third of the delegates he would slaugh-
ter Roberts, [Cries of Lets slaughter
him thenl' Don't want your kind OF
friendship."l
Carroll, of Denton" Roberts is no dark
horse, but is blooded, and head and tai
up. Here all except. Roberts friends art
excluded"

Roberts supporters that his name will b,
