Two Fifth District Bodies Meet in
Same Hall at Dallas

Dallas, Texas, May 13.-The re-
publicans of the fifth congressional
district met yesterday forenoon and
afternoon in the council chamber
of the city hall. The convention was
called by j. E. Goodwin of Wylie
chairman of the district. But Mr.
Goodwin was not present at the
forenoon meeting. A temporary or
ganization was effected by those
present by electing H. G. Niblo,
chairman, and John Beatty, secre-
tary, and then the convention adj
journed to p. m.
When the convention came to-.
gether in the afternoon, Mr.. Good
win undertook to preside, but he
was informed by c. w. Startling that
under the Terrell election law he
had no legal right to act as chair
| man. Mr.. Goodwin replied that he
was the regular chairman of the
| fifth congressional district, and held
| credentials as such from Cecil A.
Lyon. Others conceded with Mr..
Startling in his Interpretation of the
Terrell election law, which was that
the various county chairmen were
to select chairman. Mr.. Goodwin
I contended that the clause of the
election law quoted by his oppon-
ents was intended to provide for the
selection of a chairman in case the
congressional chairman was absent.
The opposition however, insisted
that Mr.. Goodwin had no right to
preside, whereupon Mr. Goodwin
and his followers retired to the
other end of the hall. and the result
was that instead of one convention
two conventions were speedily in OPP
Grafton, with Mr.. Goodwin presiding
over one of them and Mr. Niblo over
| the other, and each claiming to rep
resent the regular republican party
of the fifth district
