selection would be made at the Fort Worth
conference.
So far as is known. oi.y 0He of the gen.
tIemen named, Mr.. Fulton, had previously
indicated even a disposition TO support
Colonel Ball and he had said two or three
days before the Fort Worth conference
that II the conference did not select a man
better fitted for governor than Colonel
Ball he would support Ball.
After the conference adjourned without
designating Il candidate. Mr.. Ou~Iey and
Col. Ball in the lobby Of Il hotel IA Fort

from him hat hc had already prepared hi
opening address. which wa~ later delivered
M GrcenviIle. and in That address he said
he would express hi- opinion that statutory
prohibition l. unconstitutional and that he
would not indbr~c nationwide prohibition.
Neither ut that time nor for five days or
week. later did any Of the gentlemen
named. except Mr.. Fulton. commit himself
To Colonel Ball.
Colonel Johnston was ont OF the State
and did not return for two ur three weeks.
lie did not commit himself to Ball until
some two or three weeks after the Green
willie speech.
Colonel Williams has not IL this date
said he would vote Tor Ball. although he
said he would never vote for Ferguson.
Mr.. Ou~lev did not commit himself t.
