ued to come in on the morning trains.
Louisiana, Colorado, Missouri, Kansas,
Nebraska, Iowa, Minnesota, Arkansas and
New Mexico are represented in addition
to Texas. Taking it altogether this body

surpassed in the state. Among the dele
gates will be found men representing
nearly every trade, profession and BUSH

The convention was called to order at

order that deep water port might be
secured somewhere on the gulf coast of
Texas.

Fort Worth board of trade, and H. A.

trade, were elected secretaries of the con-
ventiop.

the appointment of three committees,
one on credentials, one on resolutions and
one on permanent organization, each COM
mittee to consist of one member from
each senatorial district, one from each
town from the state of twenty thousand
population, and one from each delegation
from other states. The committees were
appointed and the convention adjourned
until tomorrow morning at 8 O'Clock.

"but demand representation on i'm

w. B. Crawford, delegate from the
nom partisan political convention, moved
that the delegation be seated.
A motion was finally carried to ALLOW
the non-partisans representation on thu
committees, but DIR. Broiles declined tn
representation because it was not Offered
