Is Nominated by an Harmonious Conven-
ton of Friends of Labor.
The various sections of the Bexar
County Industrial League held Joint
convention on Saturday to nominate
county ticket. At S:l5, Mr. X. SchneIZe,
president of the league, called the con
vention to order, and stated the object
of the meeting and asked for the nOmina-
ton of temporary officers
Messrs. j. n. Armstrong, James Mar
tin, Jr., 2. w. Street and G. w. w. Smith
were nominated. Then il WAS disCOv-
cred that the president of the league was
de jure, chairman until the permanent
chairman was selected; but A. L. Kuen-
igsberger and Il. r. Alexander (cOlored)
were chosen as secretaries.
The following committee on delega-
tions, one from each section represented.
was appointed on credentials and Organi-
zatiOn: l.. Il. PullIam, W. Street, Jas
M"rtin, Jr., A. Seinel, Charles Crawford
W. =. LinthiCum, F. w Wellman, Juan
Perales, l.. Marchal, A. JuartZ, c
Garcia.
During the time they were out Mr.. F
Bushick gave an E-pluribus-unium- pat
you-on-the-b acknowledgement in IA
vor of adopting the peoples ticket. Jas.
Martin, Jr., opposed the idea, and Mr.. j.
n. Armstrong did not believe in throw
ing over one ring to bolster up q select
ring Of officers. He was in faver of
league ticket. Mr.. Otto Solms replied in
favor OF the peoples ticket, which
was equally well denounced by Jam
n. Armstrong.
The committee on credentials and
organization reported as follows:
We, your committee on CREDENTIALS and
organization, find thirteen sections rep
resented. Their names are submitted
herewith as delegates entitled to sit
with us, and we would recommend for per
manent chairman, Mr.. j. n. Armstrong,
OF section /; and that the temp lrary sec
retaries be made permanent secretaries
OF this meeting. We would further
recommend that sessions l and 2 of ar
ticle 2, of bylaws and of section !, be
taken as our rule of government.
This done the executive council made
the following recommendation:
For district clerk, Il. p. Mccall: for
sheriff, Joe Shelly; for assessor, John
Crawford; for treasurer, Ed. FrobOese:
for county attorney, Otto Staffel; for
surveyor, VIM. Locke, for county clerk,
Thad Smith; for constable, r. Martinez;
for justice of the peace, 5. w. McAllis-
ter and Chas. NJ. Barnes; for hide in
spector, John Campbell: for the legisla-
ture, j. w. Light and Theodore Banks:
for public weigher, l.. Il. Pullman.
Otto Solms moved the endorsement of
the peoples ticket, but this proposition
met with storm of "noes" and was
voted down.
