COUNTY CONVENTION CONTROLLED BY
SUPPORTERS or THE PALESTINE HAN.
BRYAN FOR PRESIDENT
Resolution Adopted tdyOrIag Nomination
Of the Silver ToRqued Orator in
1908. State Convention
Delegates.

Although Judge NJ. NJ. Br' )ks car
ried Ellis county by a pI ality of
1873 votes. the county CT lyention
which was held in WaXanacnie Sat
urday afternoon, was under absolute
control of the Campbell delegates
OF course there were Colquitt dele
gates and Bell delegates, but as they
were greatly in the minority they
could not hope to name the conven-
ton officers and so voted with the
Brooks and Campbell forces. Just
what per cent of this vote went to
either the Brooks or Campbell candi-
date for temporary chairman is not
known. but it was sufficient TO give
the Campbellites control of the con-
vention which they maintained
throughout the entire proceedings.
The convention was called for 9: 80
but owing to delay in Canvassing
the returns of the primary election
il was a few minutes after o'clock
when this work was completed and
the result announced. While mem
bers of the executive committee were
finishing the work of tabulating the
returns the convention delegates be-
gan assembling in the county court
room. This soon proved inadequate
to seat the delegates, and the repub-
iicans who were holding their con
vention in the district court room
kindly consented to come dowr
stairs. This was agreeable to al
and the change in places was soor
made. At $3.50 the convention wa:
called to order by County Chairman

THIRTY THOUSAND OUT
That Number OF Russian WMkmen Walk
Out by Noon Niurtzy.

St Petersburg, Aug. Probably
not more than 80 900 workmeu were
out when the general strike went OH
ciaily into force at noon Saturday
The final decision to call the strike
so hastily taken Thursday night. has
kept the police busy putting ring
leaders behind the bars.
Great confusion prevails among
various organizations scheduled to
begin striking at different places and
at different times. Therefore the in
auguration of the strike lacks snap.
and 1t Is evident its success will de-
pend on the temper of the masses.
Leaders have been more or less de-
moralized by the energy displayed
by the government In breaking up
workmens organizations. and unless
the people spontaneously respond TO
the call the strike must end in an
early failure

CAUSE OF SENSATION
The ,mparCia, Says an american Posted
Supposed Pr0ClamatioAS.

City of Mexico, Aug. 6.-The I'M
parcial charges that the recently cir
| culated handbins warming Ameri
cans to leave the country befor
| September 16 were circulated by al
unknown American, who went from
station to station distributing ane
posting the pretended proclamation
which created such a sensation both
| here and in the United States. The
impartial further says that there is
no doubt that certain railway COM
panies in Texas and California have
taken part in promoting the circula-
tion of false and sensational reports.
The circulars were apparently
signed by the Mexican League OF
Railway Employees. but this group
of workingmen declare positively
that they had nothing TO do with the
matter.
The strikers on the Mexican Cen
tral are losing ground and plenty of
men are coming forward TO fill their
places There does not appear to be
any likelihood of the strike of the
railway men spreading TO other rail-
ways. The country is perfectly quiet
and there is absolutely no ground for
prejudical reports sent abroad
