4 STRONG RESOLUTION ADOPTED
State Press Meeting Takes Stand
on Fewer Laws. Better Laws

Mineral Wells Texas May al
The following resolution was passed
at the state Press Association by a
rising and unanimous vote anl amid
euthusiam
Resolved, That the Texas Press
Association commend the movement
inaugurated by the united agricultur-
al and commercial interests of this
state as expressed in their demand
for fewer and better laws and that
all of its members be urged to sup
port this movement to the end that
every enterprise having for it's aim
the development of Texas resources
and the advancement of Texas civil
ilization, may receive the constant
and intelligent attention and con-
cern of the Texas press, which is ex
ceeded in the quality of its patriot
ism and in the soundness of its con-
science by the press of no state of
the American republic"
Signatures to the resolution: G.
F. Lehman, Louis j. Wortham, R. H
McCarty, L. B. Shook, R. f. Yantis,
0. P. Thomas, Homer D. Wade.
In support of the resolution it
was said that the passage of the an
ti-pass law was direct reflection
on the press of the state. Knowing
that the least restraint that can be
put on the press of the state is good
for the commercial and Industrial
resources of the state. the same res
olution was introduced and passed
by the West Texas Association of
Commercial clubs.

p. m.--There were several scenes of
disorder on the floor of the conven-
ton this morning. 1t was practically
impossible for anti-Bailey men to
make a speech. Both Hon. Cone
Johnson and Senator Senter tried to
speak. Mr.. Johnson tried to speak in
support of the minority report on
platform and resolutions but the
convention would not listen to him.
Senter arose to a point of order and
tried for thirty minutes to speak but
was howled down.

Special to the Daily Light.
Fort Worth, Texas, May 27, 1880
p. m.-The state democratic conven
tion got down to business in earnest
this morning. A few more delegates
from different sections of the state
struggled in during the night, and
when the convention was called to
order this morning the originally cut
and dried program was carried out.
Hon. Ike Standifer of Houston was
elected permanent chairman of the
convention. Mr.. Standifer was selec-
ted for this place at caucus held in
this city Monday night.
The platform as printed in the
morning papers was adopted. A min
ority report was submitted, but was
voted down after a lively debate.
A committee composed of sixteen,
one from each congressional district,
was appointed to select district dele
gates to the Denver convention. The
committee had not reported at the
time of filing this special. 1t is quite
certain, however, that not a single
anti-Bailey man will be sent as a
district delegate to the Denver con-
vention. The Bailey men are in abb
solute control and only those dele
gates who are friendly to the junior
senator will be chosen.
