Takes the Claims for Crane ns His
Text FOR His Letter.
Austin, Texas, March 21.-Secretary Joe
Lee Jameson OF the Sayers headquarters
here gave out the following today: The
Crane campaign managers at Dallas and
Austin have attempted to dlscredit the es-
innate of Savers strength by glibly claim
ing the earth in general, but no part of it
in detail Mr.. Cullom, as chief clerk III
the State department, gave out the repre-
sentation to which each county will be en-
titled in the State convention. Upon this
was made careful statement of the situa-
ton without insinuatng even remotely
that we carry the votes OF any county Ill
our vest pockets" Mir. Cullom, in his
official capacity as a member OF the Crane
junta, draws line cutting off about one
third OF the State, which he grayely as
serts is the territory to which we allude,
and contradcts our estimate. The truth
Is Major Savers will carry numerous coun-
ties along the north side OF the line which
he has surveyed. We were not thinking
of Attorney General Crane Ia connection
with the doubtful votes, but feared we
might be encroaclhng upon the East Texas
preserves Of Governor Jester and Colonel
Wynne.
The poll of democratic weekly papers
was absolutely correct on the day 1t was
issued, and as Mr. Ramsey has seen fit to
question it by stating that only forty
nine are advocating Major sayers," | in
vite the sAeptical to call at the Sayers
headquarters here and read the replies
over the signatures of the 1I9 editors, upon
which my statement was based However
a management which has deliberately H.
suited the intelligence OF the democrats
of Texas by misrepresenting the silver
Iecord of Major Savers, and impugning the
motives of his friends, is not likely to be
scrupulous In matters of less Importance,
now that the Crane cause is in state OF
collapse. Our poll didn't purport to be com
plete. There We're some doubtless who did
not reply TO our question others perhaps
who did not receive oer inquiry. Certainly
no omission was intentional. The readers
of the papers which are supporting Major
Savers know how absurd is the charge
that any considerable number Of them did
not support Bryan and Culberson, or tbsy
they are confined to one section of tnc
State. on the contrary, like the Sayers
legions their influence is in every county

We can now inform the people of Texas

been made by any candidate for a state

rigid economy and must rely upon lis

We will further state that the newfpa-

If Colonel Wynne's friends will all take
