GRANT WAS HERE.
CHAIRMAN OF THE STATE REPuD-
JIcAN EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE
Made n CIandcstine visit to Fort
Worthwhile saw County Chair
man Drake

Republican political circles were all
agog yesterday over the clandestlne
visit of the state chairman to Fort
Worth Saturday. DIR. Grant came in
at the back door. as II were. AMI de-
parted the same way. He did not reg
lister at any of the hotels and he took
particular pains that his presence in
the city be not known.
In fact he only saw two persons.
These two persons are said TO nave
been Mr.. c. C. Drake, chairman of Tar
rant county Republican executive COM
mittee. and y. Mont Riley, Mr.. brakes
predecessor In that office.
A Gazette reporter learned Yesterday
that the object Of Chairman Grants
visit to Fort Worth was to see air.
Drake and notify him not to Issue the
call for precinct meetings that was
published In the Gazette Sunday morn
Ing. DR.. Grant holds thot the con-
gresslonal and county cNR;rnicn have
no right to Issue calls without eNpr'sE
Authority from the state executive
committee. and that calls so Issued are
rot binding. II was to Impress his
view upon the chairman of the county
executive committee that brought Mr..
Grant to town.
But his visit was fruitless one.
While Chairman Grant WAS button
boiling Drake the other members Of
the Tarrant county executive COM
mittee held little conference of
their own and determined upon \ plan
of action. They very promptly IN
formed Mr.. Drake that II he did not
issue the call for precinct primaries Ia
select delegates to tho Republican
county convention which merts In Fort
Worth on Feb. IS that he wJiill be de-
posed. And so the call was issued and
q victory waa scored over the state
chairman. There are rGe'rv times
ahead indeed. for the members OF the
g. o. p. In Texas.
