Says MIR. Pcrryman-rhe Executive
Committee Question Has
Caused the Populists
the Trouble.

A Ca reporter called on Mr.. Per
Iyman last night, MIR. perrymau says
he is chairman Of the county executive
committee and the Hon. stump Ashhy,
who is chairman OF the state executive
committee, says he Is not. Thus there
is a difference of opinion which extends
down long lines of followers. The test
of who Is correct-Nir, Perryman or Mr..
Ashhy-promises livply times among the
popuists. Mr.. Perryinan says twO-thirls
of the POpulists Of the county are with
him. and that il Mr.. Ashby should per-
sist in his unwarranted proceedings, the
party in Tarrant county will be disrupted
and of no use. Mr., Perryman also AYERS
that all the action taken against him
springs from q personal nnimus, which
had its birth when he, as chairman OF the
county executive committee, refused last
year TO take the names of two men from
the POpulist county ticket TO satisfy
men who aftcrward bolted the conyen-
ton by working and voting for the Re
publican candidate for sheriff.
at is just this way said Mr.. Perry
man last night when asked to explain
the rather tangled condition of Populist
affairs, "when ! went to Iowa last year
TO speak for our party, we were con
siderirg the adyisahility of appointing
campaign committee. While there !
wrote to Mr., Calhoun of the Industrial
Educator TO put In card, signing my
nNme making call for convention 20

pected 10 be home by that time. We'll,
