WILSON MEETING
SCORES POLITICIANS
UNABLE TO ASCERTAIN NAMES
OF PRECINCT CHAIRMEN
Will Again Interview Executive Com
mittee- Telegram Sent to State
Chairman an-Prominent Men Make
Speeches Meet Again Tonight.


A telegram sent to State Chair
man Cato Sells by the Brownsville
Woodrow Wilson Club last night will
reveal an unusual political situation
in this county. The Woodrow Will
son meeting, which was held at the
federal building last evening, brough
out the information that the commit
tee which was appointed last Sat
urday to ascertain who are he pre-
cinct chairmen for the precinct con-
ventlons to be held Saturday Ito
morrow had been totally unable to
get any information from the county
executive chairman as to who the
appointees were or where the con-
ventions are to be held or at what
hour they would be called.
The meeting was called to order
by Col. Gay, the chairman, and
Judge Amos Rich was appointed sec
retary pro tenn. Col. Gay then made
the report of the committee stating
the facts as above related. Judge
Rich read he section of the law
covering primary conventions.
This was followed by a talk BY
Judge Hawkins, who waxed eloquent
over the Cameron county political
methods. He said that never before
in the history Of the state had such
a condition existed. A feeling has
developed, he declayeds that the peo-
pie should havc,s'a voice in choosing
the candidates for president and pre-
dictcd that before another presiden-
tial election, this state would have
a good primary law He asked that
the committee again wait on the
county executive committee and ask
that it designate the precinct pre-
siding officers and fix the time for
the precinct primaries.
The next speaker was Hon. S erl-
ing Z. Strong, of Dallas, who said
that he was a stranger i'll the city
and was hardly competent to express
an opinion on local conditions. He
said that the Wilson forces should
be organized and be ready to attend
the Saturday conventions when they
should be called.
He said that Wilson is the only
candidate who is a candidate all
over the country, that the others
were candidates in spots" He said
that Wilson was making a wonder
full fight and that he believed that
in the end he would be nominated
A motion was then made that
telegram be sent to the state chair
man, Cato Sells, informing him oi
the conditions in Cameron county,
and asking his advice as to the course
to pursue. The motion was adopted
and a committee appointed to send
the proposed telegram.
Mr.. Hawkins in seconding the mo-
ton sa-d that he though that every
paper in the state should be informed
of the conditions.
The committee was then instructed
10 interview the county executive
committee again, and the meeting
adjourned to meet again tonight at
o'clock at the federal building.
