Accurate Details
Of the Roosevelt
Victory In Texas

Accurate details of the Roosevelt VIC
tory in Texas were received and given
out today by the Roosevelt headquar-
ters. The information comes from Cecil
Lyon, chairman of the State committee,
who has been made the target for bitter
attacks by the Taft managers. Mr..
Lyons telegram to the Roosevelt head
quarters from Sherman, Tex, is as fol-
lows:

Presidential preference primaries. This
matter was left to county committees
and some had preferential primaries.
