Canton, Ohio. in the interest OF DR.. John
Grant Thursday morning was E. E. Rad
ford OF Paris. In the list OF names and
short descriptions OF each sent out from
the Grant bureau Radsord was character
lied as "The Dallas News" He is the Paris
correspondent OF that paper, and violent
republican partisan. Copies OF these de-
scriptions fell into the hands of the Green
men in Dallas and the fact that News
representative is engaged. presumably
with the approval of his paper. in boom
ing the interests OF one whom the Green
forces regard az their mortal enemy has
made the clans of the Terrell man not
at the Dallas paper. They say they have
thought for some time that the News was
partial TO the Sherman citizen who Is
receptive candidate for cabinet position
under the next president. The News puo-
Ilshed Grants letter to Huston with the
statement that the farmers would alb
solutely control the Federal patronage In
Texas. This angered the Green element.
and since then they have looked on the pa
Der with a certain distrust. Radford and
his connection with the cabinet boom has
not tended to soothe this feeling or lessen
their resentment. Several oil Green:
warmest and most intimate friends In Dali
las have told The Post correspondent, with
in the last few days that the Radford busi-
ness didn't look exactly right. that Mr..
Green could get along without the Dallas
News. and. IL he chose, could start a big |
paper OF his orn right here in Dallas. |
