Fort worth, Texas, September TO-
White-winged peace hangs over the Texas
republicans and all differences are things
Of the past. Reconciliation prevailed
among the party leaders and the great
body of republican voters, through their
accredited representatives in convention
assembled today gave hearty approval to
the settlement OF the differences that have
split the party for many years.
All these things were made possible by
joint conference held early this afternoon
between the leaders, the meeting having
been arranged by letter addressed to
Stats Chairman Lyon by f. H. r. Green,
who yesterday announced that he was
harmony candidate for State chairman.
The gist Of Green's letter was that he
was ready and willing to leave the race
since an adjustment had been ae-
complished.
Mr., Lyon accepted the profer of a con
ference, and at 80 Lyon, Hawley, Green,
Wilmot OF Austin, Clifford OF San An
tonic aud Judge Waller Burns of Hols-
ton entered Lyons headquarters, and when
they emerged from the room the Ratchet
had been buried deep and friendly rela-
tons supplanted those Of war,
II was agreed that Lyon should be State
chairman, Hawley National committeeman
and temporary chairman, and Green pcrma-
nent chairman Of the convention and
manager OF the congressional fights 10 be
made in this State.
It was learned today that it was the
wish Of President Roosevelt that Lyon
should succeed himself, and this as much
as anything else had a salutary effect on
the deliberations which followed in the
conference. II State ticket is placed in
the field it is said that Green will head
it,
This is the first State republican con
vention held in Texas where a white
man has been elected temporary chair
man, the precedent OF Wright Cuney hay-
ing been broken.
The reception of the announcement that
peace had been restored in the ranks Of
the republicans in Texas was an enthusias-
tic one on the part of both white and
black delegates, and for few minutes the
auditorium echoed with the hurrahs.
At 2 80 State Chairman Cecil L, Lyon
mounted the platform and announced that
the executive committee was ready to
make its report on contests.
Chairman Lyon connseled the delegates
that it was now their duty ito build up the
party in every county in the State, in
asinuch as peace had spread itself over
the party in Texas. He said this was
the greatest day in the history of republic
anism in this State and that he felt great
ly rejoieed over the happy elimination OF
long struggle Of opposition among the
party leaders. Henceforth perfect har-
mony would prevail in every quarter of the
State among the republicans.
He said that all differences between
himself Green, Hawley and others had
been buried for all time to come.
Lyon said that Green was magnanimous
to degree and had consented to give up
his personal desires, as had others. for
the sake Of bringing about harmony in
the party. Concessions, he said were made
by all the leaders for the future good Of
the republicans of Texas, and from now
on they would be found fighting side by
side to advance the great cause OF the
party as against the common enemy
democracy.
