In laying his proposition before
the Commercial club, Mr.. Hillibrandt
stated that in asking that the special
meeting of the club be called, he had
done so in order to give representa-
tyes Of the company an opportunity
to put their plan in definite shape
before the club but, for some reason,
the men were unable to reach the
city in time and the duty of explain
Ing the matter had devolved upon
him. He said that he was personally

an almost inexhaustible supply of ce-
ment rock, and had investigated all
phases of the proposition fully, and
Knew Just what they could do before

capitalists In the event that the
proposition should be accepted, Mr..
Hillibrandt declared that the COM
pany would bind itself to have the.
plant in actual operation by the end
of the present year. He further
stated that arrangements had been
made for the securing of supply of
lime rock and that Investigations
were now under way looking to the
securing of this rock nearer the prob
able location of the plant.
Committee Appointed.
In order to receive a more defin-
ite proposition from the promoters
and formulate a plan to place before
the Commercial club, a committee
consisting of George Gerlinger, w.
V. Fuller and Wilson A. Ayres, was
named by President Muir, which
committee will investigate and report
at a future meeting of the club.
The submission of this proposition
has aroused much interest in Dallas
and everywhere is heard endorsement
of the plan. The location of the ce-
ment rock which the company has
secured has not been disclosed and
will not be, it is understood, until
all doubt of the establishment OF the
plant shall have been removed.
That the building and operation Oh
such an institution in Dallas will
mean more to the city than any prop
osition ever before made or adopted
by the club, is unquestioned, and To-
cal business men and others are en-
Unused over the prospect The steady
employment of between zoo and 800
men would mean payroll OF al
least $500 per day or approximately
$3.50. 600 per year. all, or nearly all.

merchants.

and referred to conditions before he
was elevated to power. He is not only
a successful party leader, for his sell
fishness and his hypocrisy have de-
stroyed the party TO which he pro-
fesses TO belong in Tennessee. There
is no republican party here. The al

alleged leaders who do the bidding of
this whisky trading temperance lead
er are time servers and commercial
politicians.

take stand against this shameless
trafficking in public rights by the
crafty, cunning, double-dealing trick

He has capitalized strife to promote
his own interests among the people he
is engaged to serve and has sold the
stock for his personal gain. He has
denounced gentlemen and published
falsehoods about them to avoid replies
to direct charges of duplicity.
"He has cried bar room at gentle

the next day he has entered into part
