POLITICAL PATTER.
COL. E. ". r. GREEN BACKS RE-
PUBLICAN POLITICS IN TEN
AS.

In discussing the Republican poll
teal situation in Texas, Harry Beck,
prominent in Republican politics in
statement made Saturday said:
Il have nothing to say about any
particular presidential candidate. Gen
orally speaking / may. say that who
ever is our candidate will be dyed
in-the-wooP all around American. He
will believe in America and stand
for the protection of American in
ustitutions, laborers and industries. He
will believe in peace with all the ma
tons of the earth, but will insist that
American rights and American pro-
perry must be respected and protect
ed, any and every where on the globe.
He will hold the scale of justice
equally between labor and capital.
He will preserve the just rights of
the states and enforce every guar
antee of the Fedral constitution.
ION November 4 l had conference
with Col. E. II. R. Green. in the AGol-
plus hotel, He assures me that he
was going to take an active part in
the selection of delegates and that
he would lend his efforts to help
build up the Republican party in
Texas. The party is at low ebb and
has fallen off to less than thirteen
thousand votes polled at the last
election for our gubernatorial can
didate. ! believe that Col. f. II. r.
Green of Terrell, or Hon. Ed Nc
Carly of Galveston, should head the
Texas delegation to- the national con-
vention. Under their leadership such
men as DR.. e. p. Wilmont of Austin,
Fred Terrell of, San Antonio, DIR.
Alex Achisen and Col. r. s. Legate
of Denison and General Webster
Flanagan of Rusk, will have no hest
fancy in throwing their shoulders to
the wheel and helping to put the
party on its feet again in Texas.
Certain persons themselves Re-
publicans are attempting to disrupt
and split the regular Republican par
ty into warning factions by usurping
and recognizing the present regular
Republican party upon what is COM
monty called -whiteism" This
Is very unfortunate and especially the
National Republican party. The pres
ent Republican state oranization is
entirely in the hands of white men,
nut they have made little Roadway
in perfecting and building up the
party.
Under the leadership of Col. E.
H. r. Green, when the party organi-
zation was composed of both white
and Colored men more than 5000
votes were polled~ for our guberna-
material nominee in 1896 and today !
under the control of white men the
gubernatorial ticket polled less than
$4,000 votes in 1918. | pronounce all
such persons who style themselves as
'Lily-whites," as enemies of the Re-
publican party; their acts and pro-
nouncements are contrary to the prin- |
ciples, customs, rules and traditions |
of the National Republican organiza-
ton. | call upon and request all |
true and loyal Republicans who wish |
and desire that the party triumph i
next Novemhef\at the polls, to ig- |
more these Lilly-white agitators, place
hunters and seekers of cheap po-
litical notoriety at the expense of |
layal party voters. PERSONAL | shall |
favor a straight, Republican state |
ticket next year and shall oppose
any disgruntled element in Texas, |
seeking to control the governmental |
affairs of the state on the pretext |
that they are opposed to prohibition.
woman suffrage and the enforcement |
of the prohibition amendment which |
have destroyed the liquor traffic and
other corrupt practices of the liquor |
regime throughout the country.
Col. Green stands for all this and |
announce to the Republicans of |
Texas that at the proper time his
name will be put forth as one of the |
delegates from the state at large |
and 1 predict that the Republicans
of Texas will be delighted to have |
him represent them in the National |
Republican convention and will elect
him. In the early part of January
the friends of Col. E. H. r. Green,
and the friends of the Republican
party, those favoring my program
will hold a conference in my Office
and adopt plan Of campaign which |
we shall stand behind to the end
My program may be two white men
and two Colored men as delegates
from the state at large and this
policy will be followed in all con-
gressional districts as far as prac-
teal"
