CANDIDACY OF GARY
WILL BE PLEASING TO COIoREu
VOTERS IN TENTH DISTRICT.
Feeiing OF Woe Prevails at the
headquarters of Hawlcy Many
Callers Who Want Money,

Galveston, Texas. October 1S.-Rev
Frank Gary today filed his name as a can
dtdate for congress and it will appear on
the ticket to be voted for on November S.
Gary caAs himself an Independent, repub-
lcln and as such VIII make the race thus
dividing the republican votes with h. b.
Hawley.
II was two weeks ago or more when The
Pest first announce; the probable candi-
dacy OF Rev. Gary. AL thai time he was
undecided what to do. but since then so
many letters have come 10 him from all
over the Telth district urging him TO make
the race that he could not longer remain
in doubt. His action today settles the
matter and the announcement that he
will run will be received with daight by
hunk eds OF dissatisfied colersd republicans
in every county Of the district.
Gary is a man OF whom the negroes
ought to be proud. He has already won
high reputation among his people as man
of superior intelligence and his moral
character is above reproach. This race for
congress will give him much prestige ana
will make him factor 10 be reck0ned
with in the future. The negroes can cast
their votes for him with the full assurance
that they are honorlng man of their own
race.
The statement in The Post from Dallas
today that Dill Mcdonald and j. w. Me
Knz.e would come into the Tenth district
next week to work for Gary c1usef a
weight OF woe to settle over Hawley head
quarters. Chairman McLemore ana Secre-
tary Keeteh already had thei7 hands full
of trouble II is said they have been
bearing up under pretty much of STRAIN
for week past and the news from North
Texas, together with the positive announce
merl that Gary Is in the ra2e, has lntens.-
| fed and mGie tho weight almost unbedia-
bic. A cartoon portray.ng the woes OF a
republican candidate was printed in The
Post the other day: ore setting forth tn
| woes of the same Candidates campaign
Managers is now in order
The republicans so far have failed tt
arouse any enthusiasm at all in the cam
paisn. Most Of the callers at heaiquarter'
have been after money. Somehow the IN
preston IS out that the Hawley peop''
have d, big campaign fund and that th'
resources vet to be called upon are almos
inexhaustible Whether the report is true
or rot Il has operated 10 cause trouble an

boldened thereby. Gov. Turner's dec-
laration that the mine owners should
be indicted for murder for bringing
negro miners to take the places Of the
strikers and flring on the latter for at
lacking the negroes. will not have a
tendency to quiet the strikers nor to
lessen the vigor and openness of their
demonstrations
In the absence of settlement of the
strike there would seem to be more
trouble ahead. The strikers are des-
perate. They are utterly penniless and
winter stares them in the face. They
are striking for barely living wages and
undoubtedly are worthy of sympathy.
Gov. Tanner. however. is being Sc
verely criticised for permitting his per-
sonal sympathy for the strikers to bias
him as executive Of the State and ad-
ministrator Of it's laws and is coming
in for a share of the kind of criticism
aroused by Gov. Altgeld's leniency to-
ward the Haymarket anarchists some
years ago.

COWED WITNESSES.

Surgeon Major Seaman on his arrival
in New York from Puerto Rico in a
newspaper interview in the most Wig
orous language criticised the manage
ment of the army.
The War Department peremptorily
ordered Major Seaman to Washington
to explain his language and charges,
which, Of course. Major Seaman had
no means of proving other than by his
own observations and experience He
refused to appear before the War In
vestigation Commission without a
lawyer and then refused to answer any
questions that might place him in the
position of criticising his superior Off
GERS.
In fact, Major Seaman was thoroughly
cowed; he feared court-martial as the
result Of his testimony and, SO, prac-
tically refused to testify.
1t will strike the average observer
that if all the witnesses brought before
the investigation commission shall con-
duct themselves on this line and refuse
to testify because their testimony might
be criticism Of their superior officers,
it will be long time before the COM
mission gets al the truth through the
testimony Of army officers.
1t would seem the only way to get
witnesses to speak their minds is to
guarantee them freedom from punish
ment for criticism of their superiors.
1t is doubtful If even that would have
the desired effect, for who is to guar
antee them from the displeasure Of
their superiors-a displeasure that may
be manifested in other ways than by
court-martial?
