have arrived the campaign Will have been

there has been more turmoil and tribu-

born in storm as it We're. Preceding
the ST. Louis convention there was a fight
between Dr. John Grant and Hon. y
| Wright CuCney that was bitter--in fact
II was war TO the knife and the guos

Of the longest knife. Grant won at ST
Louis, and when the State convention met
at Fort Worth Grant achieved second
victory through his lieutenant, Charley
Ferguson OF Paris 1t was TO some extent
harmonious agreement. and ii was OK
pected that all would be pleasant in the
future, but fate ruled otherwise. Eddie
II. X. Green. son OF the richest woman in
the world was chosen as state chairman,
and Eddie has decided since that selection
that he would exercise the functions of
the office to the fullest extent.
Green does not like Grant Tho fact of
the matter. as 1t appears to me. is that
Green is cndeavOring to organize Tor the
future. AS much as he seems to be fight
