Have Been Invited to Conclude the
San Antonio Meeting in This
City and at College.

That Bryan is to have within its
borders during the next few days the
most powerful organization the city
ever entertained, not even excepting
the Legislature, is highly probable.

ity of the city, Joined by the CONNER
cial Club and citizens generally, have
issued an invitation to the Texas
"ress Association, which meets in San
Antonio this week, to come to Bryan
and conclude the session here and at
the a. and NJ. College. The president,

proved the plan, and it is highly prob
able the entire association will come.

Leave San Antonio next Saturday
morning, arrive here about noon and
lunch in this city. During the after.
noon inspect the various buildings and
departments Of the A. and NJ. College,
and conclude the visit with a banquet
at College that night.
The Texas Press Association repre-,
sents in large way the guiding and
controlling influences of the State,
hence the necessity of Bryan exerting
every effort in appropriate entertain
ment. OF this, however, there need
be no fear, as Bryan never does things
in a half-hearted way. Further an
inouncements will be made.

President Wilson intimated today that
Japan's protest is not on the ground
that the California law violated the

Republican leaders at meeting here
today decided to urge the National
Republican Committee to call con-

Washington, May 12.-The fact that
Secretary Of State Bryan has appealed
to Governor Johnson to veto the anti

that powerful influences will be

the races at Dieppe, France, consid-
cred the most important Of all for
eign motor car events. This race
was won by a Peugot car fitted with
the Mea- The car winning second

This achievement is all the more re-
markable because of the fact that the
races in both places we're controlled
by competitive products. and the
magnetos were all selected from
stock and the awards we're made on
the basis Of unmistakable merit.
The winning cars carried only one
