THE SAN ANTONIO CONVENTION WILL SET
TIE IT.
Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX. Aug. Sat the outset
of the present campaign the anti-com-
mission leaders conceived the idea that it
would be good plan to organize nom
partisan business mem santi-cOmmission
clubs These clubs were to be the nu-
cleus around which an adverse sentiment
and feeling to Gen. Hogg' g gubernatOrial
aspirations would cluster. They were to
be denominated nOn-partisan i'll order to
demonstrate to the people of the state
that opposition to the commission amend
ment WAS not confined TO any one party,
but permeated the entire citizenship OF
the state.
The non-partisan anti-commission
clubs proved rank failure, then the
anti-commmission leaders suddenly
discovered that instead of working up 4
nom partisan sentiment against COM
mission, the thing to do, was to insist
that only Simon pure Democrats of in
disputable Jeffersouisn lineage should be
permitted to participate in precinct pri-
maries and county conventions. This
test was to be imposed in the hope that
with liberal primaries in the cities that
are railroad centeIs, and restricted
primaries in the country, enough anti
Hogg delegates would be chosen to in
sure his defeat. In other words an
attempt was made to array the busi-
ness of Texas against their best GUS
toners, the farmers. 1t failed, and now
the advocates of the nou-partisan busi-
ness men, 8 club idea are strenuously
protesting against any but Simo pure
Democrats having voice in the selection
of the state ticket. Whether or not this
crowd who were in favor of a non-par-
partisan contest at the close are entitled
to much consideration i'll the final strug-
gle is question that the San Antonio
convention will undoubtedly settle in a
satisfactory manner.
