AN OPEN LETTER
With Some Reference To Chairman
Green's High Handed Methods.

GladeWater, Texas, August =, lSUO.
Hon. <. 81. r. Green, chairman repub-
lican state committee, Terrell. Texas.
My Dear Sir: see from the pre.s
dispatches, that you, and the political
disorganizers you are being led by TO
your political doom, have fired" me,
and others from toe state republican
committee, for treason or disloyslty TO
She party.
You wrote me Q few days before the
San Antonio meeting requesting me to
send you my proxy" which indicates
you that was q traitor TO the party,
and organization. What prompted
your sudden change of opinion? Why
not come out and say that you fired"
me because you could NOT use me-
OIL beg 10 cay to you, my dear sir, that
l an not Q politician, never held An
office in my life, or sought one, but
have been an earnest republican, cup
porting the measures and candidates OF
shat party for the past thirty years.
1 was elected to the position l now
hold, rs q member OF the state commit
tee, oy the repu biicaps of the seventh
senatorial district of this state, with
out having asked for the place, or even
intimated that wanted or would &C
cept 1t, and to the republicans OF the
district, the voters, rank and file, /
l
lisical actions, and L deny that Sne
stase committee has any authority as
the San Antonio aggregation assumed.
The state committee has no authority
TO question my individual actions but
the senatorial committee bss the au-
thority, and so far as 1 know, or be-
lieve, the committee is not complain
ing of any of my political acts.
Supposink the state committee had
such authority as it assumed, 1 claim
that its actions we're revolutionary
and Without warrant or justification,
for the reason that the national re-
pu blicsn convention, which is the uu-
questioned supreme political authority
of the nation, by It's actions 10 seating
the delegates from Texas, clearly
showed that 1t did not recognize the
Mcdonald conveu ton as the legal one
In the next place, you have no proof
that acted with or took part in
ether of the Waco conventions.
am surprised that you did not de
clare the Office of national committee
man vacant, then and there. And.
indeed, you would not have made your
selves ridiculous II you had declared
Hon. Mark Hsnna's place vacant
While you we're lie the ''ousting" bust
ness, you should have turned out every
body who will not permit you, and
your immediate leader to make a tool
of him.
During all the political wrsneling
the republicans of Texas have had for
the past four years, / have been your
steadfast friend, be lieving all the while
that your Intentions we're good AND
we'll meaning, and that you we're
striving for the success of republican
principles.
l have often defended you against
attacks made by other repu blicaus and
who charged that you have beeo at all
times moved and controlled by few
reckless fellows who crave Gnd court
regardless OF the cost to the
best interests of the republican party.
At last, 1 have reached the conclu-
sion that you are not leader OF the
party, but are being led by few loud
blatherskites, that have no.
thing material Al stake, and care no.
thing for the success and preservation
Of the republican party or organize
ton.
Twice you have gone down in most
woeful defeat. With one of your idols
and your prime leader, at the bar OF
the supreme political authority of this
country, and yet you don't seem to be
satisfied or realize that you are being |
made q cats paw of by few idolized |
friends ~ who ara plum cling you head |
long into political perditior.
Now, in conclusion, go ahead with |
your revolutionary methods, and sub |
NIT your course and actions to the |
you are ''at" when the smoke OF bat |
tie is cleared away.
Yours truly, !,
j. w. WOLFKILL,
Chairman Seventh Congressional Dis
tries.
