Dallas, Texas, February 17.--There is
now no doubt but that Congressman r. b.
Hawley OF Galveston and Hon. r. H. r..
Green OF Terrell have formed an alliance,
offensive and defensive. for the control OF
the republican party Of Texas. The en-
tire secret has leaked out In Dallas
That's what came OF those private din
ners at Chamberlins. Over the wine and
turtle soup the heart burnings and re-
ordinations OF the State convention OF
1926 were smesred in harmony and the
grave digger was called in to bury the
dead OF the dead past.
The alliance means that all the support
other will be thrown. Green wants to be
National committeeman to succeed Grant
and both OF them are carrying knives a
yard long for the sherman doctor They
want to make a maverick of Grant and
want him TO be unclaimed aud unbranded.
To this end they have already begun TO
bend all their energies. st this distance
