ocratlc executive committee OF Harris
county. was asked yesterday his opinion
IN regard TO tho action OF the state COM
mittee In deciding upon one set OF pn-
marics for two conventions.
II think" he replied. "that A. was n
great mistake--equlvalem to holding ono
convention. OF course. 1t is nothing more
tnan an Intention on tho part OF the
silver inen TO take snap Judgment. ia

Texas to declare itself on the silver

one primary, they carry out their purpose
