TEXAS DEMOCRATS PLAN
FIGHT ALONG NEW LINES

FORT WORTH, Tex, August 15.-
Two factions Of Texas democrats. dis
satisfied with the present party or

determined upon separate lines of at
tack to accomplish return to 'the
principles Of Jefferson and Jackson"
in state and federal governmental
affairs.
One faction. headed by former Gov
James E. Ferguson. left the present
democratic organization and formed
the american party" which it is
purposed to mako national in scope
before the next general elections.
The other faction. led by former
Senator Joseph W. Bailey. laid down
q declaration Of principles to be fol-
lowed in carrying the fight for party
reconstruction to the regular demo-
cratic state convention.
The platform Of the American
party expresses opposition to the
league of nations as at present con-
stituted; opposes national equal suf-
frage and prohibitions: demands
prison terms for trust formers and
urges return Of the railroads to their
owners.
The platform adopted by the Bailey
followers sets down twelve principles
which favor an amendment to the
federal Constitution requiring that
all amendments be submitted directly
to the people: declares for states
rights: denounces growing tendency"
to regulate everything by law; op-
poses governmental ownership Of rail-
roads; opposes monopoly and social
ism; opposes permanent alliance with
European countries politically, or en-
gaging in European struggles for

give a blanket Endorsement of the bill.

Superbusiness has discovered a new
method of nullifying the Sherman

cannot be touched by the law because
it provides for monopolies only in

means of authorized speakers and
discussion that plans for aiding in
the high cost of living fight and for
coping with other problems have been
perfected for some time. Within the
