he had experienced his difficulties.

WILLIAMS CLUB FORMED.
First Organization in County Per
9ected in this City Monday.

| The first effort toward forming an
| organization IN the interest of the
candidacy of Hon. R. r. Williams
| for governor was made in WaxaAach-
| lie Monday afternoon when quite a
number of democratic voters of Ellis
county enrolled their names in the
R. R. Williams Democratic Club. On
! account of aheavy rain which fell
| Monday morning the attendance was
| rather light, but those who had the
matter in hand say they are not in
the least discouraged
Hon. R. E. L. Knight of Dallas
! came here by invitation and address
ed the meeting which was held in
the district court room. He spoke to
about one hundred and twenty ave
voters. Mr.. Knight recently visited
Mr.. Williams at his home in Cumby
and his speech in the main was a
verification of what Editor Robinson
of the Waco Times-Herald had to
say about the Hopkins county candi-
date. Mr.. knight also devoted some
time to discussion of some Of the
tax measures enacted by the thirtieth
legislature. He explained how the So
called full rendition law is calculat-
ed to breed extravaganza in the ad-
ministration of the states govern
ment.
At the conclusion of Mr.. knights
address the r. R. Williams Demo-
cratic club was formed by the cleo
ton of the following officers: Col.
Jas. S. Davis, president; r. x. Err
win, vice president; w. A. Ownby,
secretary.
Volunteers were then called for
and several voters came forward and
enrolled as members of the club.
Capt. w. A. Boyce, one of the pion-
eer citizens of Ellis county, was one
of the first to respond.
Club lists have been prepared and
will be circulated among the voters
of the city and vicinity For the bene-
fit of Mr. Williams friends in the
various precincts of the county, who
desire to organize clubs, the form of
the petition Is given as follows:
1--WE, the undersigned democratic
voters OF Ellis county, affix our
names hereto for the purpose OF be-
coming members of the r. R. Will

doing pledge ourselves to use our.

War Department VIII Do Ut

Of Neutrality Laws.
CEN MEYER IN COMMAND
Soldiers VIII Be Dispatched TO Del
Rio, Ell Paso and Other lmpor-
tant Border Points Will
Aid Civil Authorities.

Washington, June 30.-By direc-
ttion of President Roosevelt, Secreta-
ry Taft has issued orderssto the COM
mandipg general of the department
of Texas, at San Antonio, to send a
sufficient number of troops to Del
Rio, Ell Paso and other points in Tex
as to aid the civil authorities in pre-
serving order This action was decid-
ed upon as a result Of the request
from the Mexican government that
the United States do it's utmost to
prevent any violation of the neutrali.
ty laws.
The request of the Mexican gov
eminent was referred to the attorney
general by the state department and
the governor of Texas in the mean
time was asked to aid in compelling
obedience to the law. The order of
the president sending troops to the
border is understood to have been
made upon the recommendation of
the attorney general.
Brig. Gen. Albert l.. Meyer, in
command of the department of Tex
as, is authorized to ascertain the
number of trooDa-nacassary at Del

Rio and Ell Paso, and also to send
troops to any other points along the
Mexican-Texas border If found adyis-
able.
The federal troops will act under
marshal and the United States dis
trict attorney. The troops presence
will also do much to prevent any
tory and will be of material assist
ance In the event that reyolutionists
should cross the border. Del Rio is

TAFT LEAVES CABINET.
Candidate for President Resigns as
Secretary Of War.

t'V&ANeNhS Va
Washington, June Boy the
terms of his resignation, presented
to President Roosevelt on June 18,
William II. TAFT today retires from
the cabinet and is succeeded, as sec
retary of war by Luke e. Wright of
Tennessee. Mr.. Taft will immediate
ly begin the organization Of his cam
paign forces, and will meet here to-
morrow with the subcommittee of
the republican national committee to
decide upon a chairman, Representa-
tive Sherman, candidate for vice
president, will also take part in the
conference. Several men are being
considered for the Craftsmanship,
and it is thought that a definite de-
cision will be reached as result of
tomorrow's meeting.
Luke Wright, the new secretary
of war, is Confederate veteran and
democratic in his political views.
His selection is looked upon as a
clever piece of diplomacy which may
result in gaining many Taft votes in
the south.
Leaving the service of the wrecked
Confederacy at 81, Wright secured a
legal education and began the prac-
tice of law in Memphis In 1870 he
| was elected to his first important po-
litical office, that of attorney-gener
for Shelby county, in which Mem
phis is located. AS chairman of the
citizens committee. during the yel-
low fever plague in Memphis in
! 1878, Wright performed a heroic
| task.
Since then his career has been
such as to admirably fit him for the
high Office to which he has been
called by President Roosevelt. AS a
member of the Philippine Commits
sion, later vice governor and then
governor of Uncle Sans islands in
the Far East, and afterwards am
bassador to Japan, he made record
for fidelity and ability that gave him
an international reputation.
Few men are more popular in the
army than Luke Wright, and, des-
pite the fact that he was a Confed-
crate, his appointment has been uni
versally commended by the leaders
of the Grand Army of the Republic
