Board Issues Statement.
Concerning the matter, member
OF the board OF trustees who took the
lead in the investigation leading up to
the swearing out OF the warrant
against Vaughn. dictated the follow
About two weeks ago the board OF
| trustees learned that former Supt. T.
L. Vaughn was charged OF some very
serious conduct a full investigation
was made and Mr.. Vaughn was sum
moned before the board He came
and denied the charges and we dis

"A subsequent meeting of the board
was called and Mr. Vaughn was
sought to be served with notice to
attend the meeting by mail and other
wise, but could not be reached. His
family have not been at home in the
city for two weeks. His brother, a
student at Furman university, is said
to occupy the house at night, and told
the messenger OF the board OF trus-
tees that T. L. Vaughn had gone
north.
"A meeting of the trustees having
been set for May % and having been
unable to reach Mr.. Vaughn, war

ly, had a caustic arraignment OF
saloon candidate, j. F. VOTERS
in a review of the speech which
he some days before made in
Abilene. The following is taken
from that editorial:
we went to hear Hon. Jacob
VOTERS tell the people of Abilene
why they should elect him U. S.
Senator. We went, expecting
to hear the utterances of a
statesman. We came back feel
ing that we had listened to the
articles of politician. We here
now charge that he is seeking to
fool the people. We charge that
he is insulting the people by pre-
Stunning upon their ignorance,
and seeking to palm on them po-
litical fallacies instead of political
principles. Mr. VOTERS is either
ignorant, or wilful in his mis-
statements, and in either in
stance, is unworth of the sup
port of the people for the high
Office of u. S. Senator.
While that is all true, and a
good deal more along the same
lines could be justly said, the
people generally, need to remem-
Der that Col VOTERS is probab-
iy doing the best he can for him
self and saloons. 1t is tremen-
dous job for the head of the po-
litical liquor machine of Texas
to SO conduct campaign for a
high Office as to hide from view
the real thing that inspires his
candidacy, and is backing it up.
Reports received in Anti-Saloon
League headquarters, are to the
effect that whereas he charges
Mr.. Sheppard with being a
mocking bird, VOTERS himself is
mere parrot, repeating plaudi-
tudes about the tariff, and other
questions, which he has caught
from much larger men than him
self, but which he lacks ability to
back up with official records.
Col VOTERS and his friends
seem to have mistaken the West
ern courtesy shown him, as
meaning that the virile manhood

played very thoroughly on July
9th. One of the many handi
caps on Col. VOTERS, was thus
stated by Morris Sheppard at
Greenvill; Jake simply does
not know" That statement is
re-emphasised and reinforced in
forced in the words of the West
ern Evangel, "Mr. VOTERS is
either ignorant. or wilful in his
misstatements, and in either in
stance, is unworthy Of the sup
port of the people for the high
