Has mistaken Confidence In Bryan.
Future and Willing to Continue
to Help.
To The Eagle:

To The Eagle:
Since the announcement OF my
resignation as secretary Of the Bryan
Commercial Club have been deluged
by inquiries from friends as to my
plans, and whether they would permit
of my continued residence in this city.
| have been very appreciative of the
complimentary solicitude and deem II
Just to my friends to make public my
intentions and hopes for the future
want to say in most emphatic terms
that my confidence in the future OF
Bryan was never greater than now
The strength manifested during and
since the great disaster OF the De-
cember flood is sufficient to convince
growth of any city comprising such
citizenship. She was able to instantly
cope with the disaster which in its
very nature was paralyzing Then in
the face of an inexplicable opposition
waged by the Governor. she was able
to meet a condition which threatened
the very life of her commerce for
years to come, and bring about a con-
dition which is conceded by lifelong
planters in the great Brazos valley to
be even in advance Of previously
favorable years. Our only regret In
this connection is that the OPP
position waged by the Governor pre-
vented a widespread cooperative as
sistance which would have allowed
the entire valley to recuperate as has
the Bryan territory. We have receiv-
ed pitiful appeals from other districts
which had not the loch strength to
cope with the disaster but Bryan
could not care for the entire valley

aspirations and purposes are quite
apart from political preferment. Fol
this reason | have refused until now
to entertain the idea of becoming a
candidate, nor can | yet consent TO
become candidate upon my own mo.
ton.
But would not be the dutiful citi-
zen l believe l am If could not sub
ordinate my personal wishes to the
performance of any reasonable public
duty that thoughtful and patriotic fell
low citizens might lay upon me.
Therefore, II it is the deliberate
judgment of the constructive Demo-
Gratis, such as were represented at the
Dallas conference on March 7, that
should become candidate, and if they
indicate their wish in manner salts
flying as evidence of concerted opinion,
will have no option but to comply.
