SECOND THOUGHTS.
Mr.. Spaulding thought that the execu-
| tive committee should be permitted to
go ahead ard attend to matters as it might
deem best; thst the state committee had
not lost faith in the executive committee,
snd that the members of the latter could
be trusted to pursue its own policy.
THE BURNING QUESTION TOUCHED.
Mr.. Zuckerman said that the executive
committee had never outlived sny policy.
MIR. Barry said 1t had, and pointed to
the record book in triumph.
OIL ON THE WATER.
Mr.. Collins, observing the flow of "on-
pleRssntness" beginning to trickle,
stsnched it by relating the story OF his
trip north. He was enthusiastic. He had
been very su cessful. If there was any
lack of confidence in the immigration

HOME RULER.
Mr.. Ssyles was q strong believer in
local organization. Each locality should
work for itself and spend It's own money
in its own best interest. People were
coming into his section already in re-
spouse to system of local advertising
that had cost already several
thousand dollars. He opposed the
Idea of central head to
advertise Texas, because those
sections that did not advertise themselves
should not be advertised at the expense
If the state, The railroads had done
