SAN ANTONIO, Tx, July LII Is
an open secret here among prominent
Knights Of Labor that meeting will be
held IN San Antonio on the 10Th of July
composed of delegates from each assem-
bly, In the state, according to the number
Of membership, for the purpose of offer.
ing some kind OF coalition with the
grangers, Republicans and disafscted
Democrats in the hope Of carrying the
state 10 the coming election. 1t was origi-
Dally intended TO have grand display at
this meeting, though for some reason or
other that part Of the programme has
been abandoned. AS usual the knights
claim the whole world and the balance OF
mankind, Boosting that they can carry the
state as well as other important munich
palities. For instance in BeYar county,
one of the largest in the state, the Demo-
cratic majority is about 1900, while the
Knights claim a voting membership of
1909 TO 1000. In view of the present con-
is extremely doubtful II they can con-
solidste their strength on any manner OF
self-made men they may putup, Another
feature that may prevent the success of
the scheners Is the well-known fact that
| the order in Texas Is not free from discord
as is evidenced by the present enforced
resignation of G W. Smith, a member Of
the state executive committee, and the
appointment of THEODORE Kuntzman, a
San Antonio printer, in his place. Kuntz-
man Is an impetuOus, fiery Knight and
union man, and IL credited with having
engineered the strike and unsuccessful
boycott on the Evening Times. Democrats
are watching the political movements
closely, though they have not as yet COM
menced to organize TO- the contest.
