EX-GOV. STONES VIEWS.
They Are Not Correctly Stated by the New
York Herald.
DID NOT SPEAK As ALLEGED BY PAPER.
Believes in National Committeem men
Serving on the Auxiliary Commit
tees to De Appointed by Him.

st. Louis, August blast week the
New York Herald published purported
synopsis OF Governor Stones views on
party organization. The Herald credited
the ex-governor with saying at Chicago
that the democratic party should In 1900
make no alliance with other organizations.
Governor Stone, to answer at once n
great number of inquiries from all over
the country, today gave out this state
ment:
THE Herald's article of July II Is In
Wcurate. Senator Tillman and l are
credited with having declared in speeches
before the National committee that we
opposed any alliances between the dem
ocratic party and any other political Or
this 'pronunciamonto encountered oppo-
sltion. but was hnally carried.
Il do not know Senator Tilmans opin-
ion on the subject mentioned, but | know
that he nor ! made any reference to that
subject before the committee nor was 1t
discussed in the committee by any one.
The Herall's article is altogether mac
surate IN that particular.
1.-THE statcnen; in lhe Herald that the
designations of Governor Altgeld and Sea-
ators Teller and Allen as members ot\le
advisory committee were rendered ara ac-
ccpted is also inaccurate. No designations
were rendered or accepted That is all
care to say about the Herald 6-sS Ne
After all, the article. which | never saw
until today, does not purport TO quote me
except in the one Instance above indi-
Gated. do not feel called upon to con-
firm or contradict the individual coniec-
ture or opinion OF newsgatherers.
81 do not object 10 saying In reply 70
the Heralds request that I believe that
the sub committees which the National
committee has authorized the chairman to
1 appoint should be composed exclusively
4 OF members Of the National committee.
/ The National committee represents the
/ party organization and ia composed of
members Of the party organization In the
several States. ] incline to the belief
that as we are now about TO enter upon
our work of organization throughout the
country better results VIII be achieved by
enlisting the hearty cooperation OF those
who constitute the committee than by re-
lying upon outside or auxiliary commit
tees. In this | believe 1 voice the sentl-
ment OF the whole committee. including
the chairman. This does not mean that
we do not appreciate the good preliminary
work which has been done by the auxiliary
committee which has existed heretofore.
But we are now come to that point where
the work of the party organization must
be taken on large and more active scale
and every member OF the National com
mittee must be gotten into harness. The
regular and controlling committees / have
no doubt Will be made up of the members
of the National committee"

who ia supposed to be organizing the trust.
We have not had single consultation among
ourselves as to how TO defend ouf~Afes
against the syndicate. In the hrst place. We
don't think that any such syndicate exists
or Will exist, and In the second place, II 1t
did. we would have no difficulty at all tn
driving 1t out of the state
ITO begin with, such trust is AGAINST the
laws of Texas. But we viii leave that point
out of consideration entirely. Unless am
very much mistaken. tho land which the
trust is alleged to have taken In constitutes
the most arid portions Of Texas. The grass
that grows there is OF very poor auailty
and breaks Up into dust when the cattle
trample over II. 1t Is not adapted to the
raising of hrst-class cattle Then there are
about fifteen big ranches along what we call
the coast from the Trinity river TO the RIO
Grande. which l know positively Will not
enter into trust. The minute syndicate Is
formed TO destroy competition we Will all
combine to fight it. That would mean twice
or three times the capital represented by the
syndicate, 010.Cto head of cattle. 100000 more
than the syndicate claims to have. and 1909,
900 acres OF the choicest pasture land in
Texas. No syndicate within the bounds OF
NY imaginatlon could fight such amalga-
nation. 1t would be absolutely supreme. /
can name you three other ranches. which. in
connection with my own. could whip the
syndicate out of the busness--thc King fam
ny, Sinton 2. Pulton and A. IL, Pierce. These
four combined would have 100000 head OF
cattle and 100000 acres OF pasture.
"Oh. no; the big cattle ranehmen of Texas
are not losing any sleep over this so-eallei
trust Let 1t come"
