HOGG SQUEALS
From KerrvIIie. and the Democracy
is not HapDy

is not Happy.
A reporter called on Mr.. Joseph Ryan,
one of the Schramm delegates 10 Kerr
vile and asked him for particulars OF the
senatorial conventions. Mr.. Ryan IN an
Swer To questions said:
We went TO Kerrville for the purpose OF
nominating the Clark man for Senator,
in both conventions, thus inSuring his
election and democratic success in this
senatorial district. When we got TO
Kerrvilla we understood that fair and
impartial hearing would be given us in
the Camp convention, and when it was
opened DR.. Darroch, the only delegate
from Gillespie, Clark county, and
Messrs. Graham and Bodemann, the dele
gates from Kendall, the other Clark
county, were in the hall. Mr.. Graham
was put on the committee on credentials
with DR.. Everett from Kerr, and Mr.. Fee
from Bandera, who was there on proxy,
though his convention so far as his ere
dentialS showed, never authorized proxies.
Two .. m. was the hour set for the hear
ing of the contest from BeXar by the COM
miItee, at which time and not before, |
presented my credentials, in the mean
time Mr.. Graham was in the NimitZ con-
yention, acting rs secretary, thus leaving
DR.. Everett really the Ouly member OF
the credentials committee in the Camp
convention, a question haYlng arisen as
.
proxy when the county convention did
not authorize proxies. DR.. Everett
promptly decided that no delegate being
present from Bandera, the proxy would
be recognized. This left Bandera and
Kerr with four votes, a majority en-
Guiding BeXar. Before presenting our
case DR.. Everett and Mr.. Fee said they
would not go behind the Houston Hogg
convention and would seat the delegation
recognized by it: that they had made up
their minds, anyways. Under such cir
| cumStanceS | withdrew our credentials,
| never having made the contest.
The NimItZ convention consisted only
| of DR.. DarOche from Gillespie, and
Messrs. Graham and BOdemann from
Kendall, who were in the Camp conven-
| ton in the morning unless you count
Frank Grice and Perry Lewis from the
| 4th OF July celebration and A. w. Houston
who was not delegate but had proxy
| from his brother Reagan, though that
| celebration" never authorized proxies.
Capt Schramm presented our case be-
| for Daroche and Braham, Nimltz's COM
mittee on credentials, and they promptly
seated Frank Grice, Perry Lewis and A.
w. Houston on the ground that the
Schramm delegation had presented their
| credentials 10 the Camp convention.
Every one of our delegation was present.
/ ed with a copy Of our credentials and
Captain Schramm had copy as
well as myself and there was no
| necessity for his getting mine
and he did not do so. Mind you,
| Mr.. Graham, from Boerne, was recog-
niZed though he was in the Camp cOnven-
| ton and was one of the credentials COM
| mittee.
| When the report was adopted Capt.
| Schramm protested, stating that he was
| more consistent democrat than those who
Il /, l. TNNFNN 4
nee was beaten he did not want to be held
| responsible Mr.. Houston then arose and
| stated he was too good democrat TO
make threats against the nominee, as
| Capt. had done: the latter character
lied the statement that he had made
threats as an untruth, when Mr.. II. stated
that If he intimated that he (Hous-
"a low-lived and contemplate puppy"
which was promptly hurled back by Capt.
Schramm and the compliment re-
turned" Thus the matter ended.
| ION the train returning home Captain
Schramm and Editor Grice had windy
battle, but no razorS were drawn-"and
the band played Annie Laurie. '-LIGHT
From recent articles in the Ex-
press, from John Stappenbeck S
interview and what we learned
! at Kerrville it seems that the
NimiIZ people were trying TO corral the
Camp convention for Lewis, and but for
Robinson acting as promptly as he die
and forcing a nomination when he did
who knows but what those straightaced
lilly white, Clark democrats who wOudn'
have anything to do with our delegation
Y | because one solitary member, in the inter
4 est of harmony and democratic success
4 had given notice of contest of the CAM
. convention, would have swallowed tn,
? entire Camp convention, Hogg, Robinson
I ! and all, ana would have enjoyed the NOR
Y sci as heartily as we all do Clark'S en-
: dorsemen by the republican state conven
: ton. Consistency thou art jewel.
= 1t is proper for Clark to control the re
d publicans, and for Lewis, Clark man, /
n control the Hogg convention, but it
treason for us TO even think of dOirg sc
though it would mean the election of
Clark man for senator. Under the cir
, cumstances, though / say so reluctantly
q democratic success in the district is eX
4 tremely doubtful.
q In conclusion, Capt. Schramm neve
. was a candidate himself and always, l
. my knowledge. said so.
