Scored by Williamson Coun-


Scored by Williamson Coun-
ty Republicans.
Taylor, Texas, July 23.-At the meet
ing of a large number of Republicans
of this county held yesterday, July
22nd, the following resolutions were
unanimously endorsed:
Whereas, Hon. E. H. r. Green
chairman of the Republican executive
committee of Texas, has by usurpa-
ton of authority attempted to remove
the chairman of this county, DR.. w.
p. Fleming, of Georgetown, and that
such action ON his part at the request
of E. p. Wilmot, of Austin, and at the
instigation of w. K. Makemson and
several other disappointed pie hunters
of this county; and
mo authority to make such removal
was conferred upon the said E. H. r.
Green by the last state republican con-
vention and that such an action on his
part is fragrant violation of his duties
as chairman, and is fraught with dan
ger to the Republican party in this
state.
Resolved that we, the Republican
executive committee of Williamson
county expressly deny that f. II. r.
Green has any right or authority to
remove the regularly appointed or cleo
ted chairman of this or any other
county executive committee in this
state.
Resolved that we condemn E. F. Will
mot for his interference in the affairs
of this committee and resolved that we
regard w. K. Makemson as a disorgan-
izer and foe to the best interests of
the party. His long record. as office
seeker and chronic pie hunter is of
such character as leads us to believe
that he neither regards nor cares for
Republican principles and that he seeks
simply to use the party to further his
own selfish ambition.
RESOLVED that we warn all Republi-
cans not to be misled by anything ema-
mating either from the above named
individuals or from their executive
committee leader, H. H. Thorpe, of
Liberty Hill, and that any action of
said committee is unofficial, Illegal and
wholly without force or effect.
Resolved that we recognize in the
Hon. John Grant, our most worthy ma
tional committeeman, leader of whom
the Republicans of Texas should be
proud. We endorse the course pursued
by him during the last campaign and
believe his work is in the right direc-
ton and tends to the best interests of
the party in this state.
Resolved that we recognize in DR..
Fleming man most worthy of the
honor of chairman and endorse his ac-
lions and consider the work performed
by him of great value to the Republic
can party in this county and will
stand by him in his efforts to purify
the party from corrupt bossism.
Resolved that these resolutions be
spread upon the minutes of the COM
mittee and copy be given the press
for publication. Respectfully, Dr.W.
P. Fleming, chairman; w. Allison
Lloyd, secretary; r. A. Adams, c. V.
Compton, ]. ]. Hayslip, P. A. Schafer,
William Goetz, ST., S. v. Dooley, John
Mays, A. ]. Reeder, Charles Baker, Col
oman Sneed, 1. N. Mars, Austin Smith
B. A. McAdams, w. II. Landsdown,
committeeman.

gram was sent:
