| \ representative of this paper
went 10 Dallas yesterday corning t.
attend the last state democratic
| nominating convention to be held in
Texas.
This statement Is made advisedly,
much in his speech accepting the per
manent craftsmanship of the conven-
ton. In delivering his address Judge
| Templeton said that he esteemed 1t
as a great honor to preside over the
convention which would be the last
one in which state officers would be
nominated. He said that under the
| old system of nominating in con-
| vention a long line of illustrious gov
ernors had been given Texas, but that
the law of progress had brought
| changes which were demanded by the
people.
| This utterance by the chairman
was greeted with a storm of applause
which indicated that the blanket pri-
mary sentiment was very much in the
ascendency.
When the convention was called
| to order yesterday morning the large
auditorium at the fair grounds was
| jammed and crammed with delegates
and visitors. The seats in the pit
lwere reserved exclusively for dele
gates, but many outsiders We're per-

| 1t was perhaps the noisiest con-
vention ever held in the state. There
was a constant hum of voices all the
lJime and half the time delegates in
the rear of the building could not
hear what the speakers were saying.
1t was almost impossible for Ser
geant Mcdonald and his assistants to
maintain order, and at one time IN
