Conner and three daughters, has
made an automobile tour of the va
rioas miniing cafnps, addressing the
miners and soldiers at each camp,
and they were enthusiastically re-

the governor Stated that he found
the district peaceful and that he had
reason to believe that the end ofsthe
trouble was near at hand. -,.
In spite Of that fact, however, the
governor yesterday notified the ad-

troops must not be permitted to leave
Alabama for any encampments be-

REPLY IS MADE TO HIS CRITICS
Hon. R. R. Williams Issues an Open
a'- Letter to Voters.

Cumby, Texas, July 20.-Hon. R.
r. Williams, candidate for governor
of Texas issues the following:
To the Democratic Voters of Tex
as: Having heretofore issued my
platform, I now want to answer
some of the objections and charges
urged against my candidacy for the
democratic nomination for governor,
1 submit the following; - -o3 .,,s..
| The principle objection is that
am one of the great body of the peo-
pie who have rot heretofore been
conspicuous in the state or national
politics; and that l have pursued the
occupation of a. mechanic, for the
support of myself and family / ad-
NIT that the charges contained in
this objection are true. ssg

ate man. This charge is untrue.
failed to get college education, be-
cause l was In the Confederate army
when I should have been at college.
When the war closed, like most
southern boys, l was compelled to 60
to work. l have tried to overcome
this by careful reading and study.
1t is charged that the farmers are
supporting me. This is true; but it is
not because the farmers think that
would favor them more than others
but because they believe / will treat
all alike.
1t is objected that the business
men are supporting me. I am glad
that this charge is true The business
man wants fewer laws and better
laws, and wants the affairs of the
state conducted on business princi-
pies. This is part of my platform, and
If elected governor. I will try to see
that it is carried out.
1t is objected that the lawyers are
supporting me. I am glad to know
that many of the most reputable
lawyers in the state approve my can
didacy, 1t confirms what l have al
ways believed that the real lawyer

Campbell did not receive the vote of
a majority of the farmers two years
ago. His vote was only about SO per
cent of the total. 1t would seem from
this, said the speaker. that Governor
Campbell's appeal for votes on the
homestead tax proposition fell upon
deaf ears.
Judge Armstrong said he would
like for some one to point to single
man appointed tc Office by Governor
Campbell who was not one of his
supporters or an active politician, He
said about two hundred new offiS s.
were created by the thirtieth legisM
ture. and about the only qualifif
ton required of man to secure y
of these places was the indorseme
of Walton Peteet, jeff MontgomI
or George Garden. He declared \

Texas. He said if the charges mad
therein were true Governor Camp
bell was unfit to serve the state a

Toward the close OF his address
Judge Armstrong again referred t.
the full rendition law. He said thu
law was calculated to open wide the
doors of extravaganza 1t would be
easy to get property values up, but

IN FAVOR OF DEMOCRATIC BOB
Judge Armstrong Delivers Address
in Support Of Williams.

| An audience composed mostly Of
! farmers and numbering fully three tt
one in favor of the candidacy of Hon
| R. R. Williams for governor heard
Judge George Armstrong; address
| in the district court room Saturday
afternoon. Although the appointment
of Judge Armstrong was not widely
advertised about two hundred and
fifty voters were present. A rising
vote taken at the close of the address
indicated that the crowd was for
Williams by a big mapority.
Judge Armstrong was formerly a
citizen of Ellis county. He was edu
Gated at old Marvin college in Waxa
hachie and was licensed to practice
law here He taught school at Noun
tain Peak, Among his pupils were
Congressman Beall and Sheriff
Forbes
Judge Armstrong spoke nearly
two hours. and his address, in the
main was running commentary on
the letter of Hon. R. r. Williams,
which may be found in another col-
umn of this paper. fsEi e.ssasf
He believed this movement was an
uprising of the plain people of Texas
from one end to the other. He said
that without any outside influences
the people had manifested degree
of dissatisfaction with this admins
traton never before exhibited in this
state. He declared this to be battle
of the plain people against the politi-
clans, and said that the appointees
of the governor were going to all
parts of the state in an attempt to
suppress this uprising. He said the
statement that Mr.. Williams was be-
ing supported by the trusts was un-
| true.
| Judge Armstrong then referred to
the promise made by Governor
Campbell two years ago that II cleo
| ted governor he would try to secure
the enactment of law exempting
homesteads from taxation, and said
the thing he did was just the oppos-
| ite to what he promised. This led UP
! to a discussion Of the full rendition
| law, which Judge Armstrong declar-
ed to be the most outrageous law
ever passed by legislature. He said
| it was a mistaken idea to believe
/ that under the full rendition law the
| burden of taxation would be shifted
! from the shoulders of the people to
the corporations He said if unjust
taxes were imposed upon railroads
they increased their freight rates and
the people had the taxes to pay in an
/ indirect way. He said the farmers
would have to pay the freight both
ways-on their cotton, corn, wheat
! and oats and then on the nanufac-
tured product after It came back
from the factory 9li'iW 23sisae o.

Altoona, Pa, July 20.-Bees are

office in the gift of the people
It is charged that the men who
own and manage the corporations in
Texas are supporting me. | see no
reason why they should not, because
| have said, as | believe, that cor
porate property and corporate inter
ests should be treated with the same
fairness as is meted out to the prop
erty and interests of individuals.
1t is objected that, If elected gov
ernor, | will encourage capital to
come into the state. 1t is true that |
will do this; because | believe that
it will be to the best interest of the
people of the state; but, | also be-
lieye that when capital comes into
the state it should obey the laws OF
the state. .. ,s. sr .,.4.
1t is objected that l will not know
who to appoint to the offices, which
the governor must, under the consti-
tuition and laws of the state, fill by
appointment. This is a responsible
duty which the governor must dis
charge. If elected, l would apply the
Jeffersonian standard, "is he honest,
is he capable?" I would do this re-
gardless of whether or not he has
supported me. 1 think, that with the
help of the people, | could fill these
places with men who would reflect
honor upon the state
To these answers, / wish to add a
few words:
am confirmed and fixed in my be-
lief in a simple, economical, honest
government
Government is instituted for the
benefit of the people, and not for the
profit of office-holders.
The laborer is worthy of his hire;
but, an official whose entire time is
due the state, should work for the
state and not for himself
An official has no right to use
either the power or the money en-
trusted to him by the people for any
purpose, except the public good
An individual has the right to be
generous in spending his own mon
ey, but public official can be M
more than just in spending the peo
pies money.
A large surplus begets extrava
| gance, and extravaganza beget
| graft.
An office holder has the right t
| offer for reelection, and his officis
| record is attacked, he has the righ
to defend it; but, he has no right t
| take the time of his subordinate ap
pointees, which belong to the state
to aid him
! The governor of the state is tn,
servant of the people, and must ODE,
their sovereign will, as expressed IL
the constitution and laws of thu
state. s
Under existing conditions, /
seems good to recall these sayings
which, in one form or another, have
come down to us from former times
If you do me the very great honor
of selecting me for your governor,
will be faithful to the best interest:
