THE CHAIRMAN SPEAKS.
MIR. LOCK MCDANIEL INTER-
VIEWED.
Campaign ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
cans Gaining-His Views on
fractional Strife and His
Policy Outlined.

Mr.. Lock Mcdaniel, chairman of the
republican state executive committee,
was in the city yesterday and left this
morning for home. While here he met
the county executive committee and the
two chairmen and it is understood that
after long conference all differences ex-
listing between the two parties in this
county have been satisfactorily and
peacefully settled. Chairman Sauer says
only one man has so far held out in the
fight, but that this makes no difference,
and when Mcdaniel asked him his rea-
sons for holding out, he refused to di-
vulge them.
Mr.. Mcdaniel was seen by LIGHT re-
porter and gave this paper the list of APP
pointments thus far made for Col. Webb
Flannagan'S speeches in the campaign.
The campaign opens September 9th at
Tyler, then he speaks at Calvert, Septem-
Der 90 COrSicana, September 80, Paris,
October 4, Sherman, October 6, Brown
wood, October IL. Other appointments
will be announced later, though Mr.. Elan
nagan will probably take a short rest
after speaking at Brownwood. Other
members Of the state ticket have not an
nounced their appointments as yet, but
will do so later. Mr.. Hague writes him
that he will open his campaign at Ell
Paso, but does not give the date.
Speaking of the prospects of the ticket,
Mr.. Mcdaniel said: 1.-THE ticket over
the state is gaining wonderfully, and the
outlook is very flattering for the largest
republican vote ever cast in this state.
Flanagan is very popular personally,
and the platform will make up the re-
mainder.
THAT confederate soldiers plank is very
popular, as it should be. The state should
take care of her confederate veterans and
the republicans are more than willing to
assist.
1.-The colored members of the party are
recOnciled and will support the ticket to
a man. The leaders of their branch of
the party have assured me Of this.
Speaking of the Bexar county quarrel
he said: 81 don't think either chairman
has the right TO say whether the county
shall put out straight ticket, but Bexar
county republicans should put out
straight ticket. The only way to get the
full strength of the party would be to
call new convention, let both sides hold
primaries and select delegates. Then let
the convention seat both delegations from
each precinct and vote and act in har-
mony. My letter to Chairman Sauer
covers the question. Here it is:
my answer, in reply to yours of the
18th, is: In every county where the re-
publican party has any considerable
strength the party should in the regular
way nominate ticket for county officers.
You understand that cannot dictate a
course to be pursued by the republicans
of any party. Certainly in Bexar
county county convention should
be called for the purpose of con-
sidering whether or not a ticket should
be nominated and let the people
(republicans) through their delegates
selected by themselves for that purpose,
determining the matter"
Speaking of his state policy as chair
man of the executive committee, he said:
my policy is not to interfere in any
Federal appointments except where the
people directly interested in the appoint
ments appeal to me, or on a protest or
refers such matters to me-"
