CREACER GIVES
MUCH Time TO
REVIVINC
State Chairman Returns To
Brownsville After Strt-
ing Organization

X. b. Creager, chairman Of the re
publican party in Texas, returned to
his home in Brownsville Sunday af-
er ten days trip to Houston and
Dallas in connection with plans OF
party leaders for a strong state or.
yaniZation.
More than two hundred counties
Of the 248 in the state have been or
,anized, Mr.. Creager said, and the
plans contemplate that not only Will
the party organize strongly along
county lines, but will also promote
precinct organizations. According to
plans outlined by Mr.. Creager al ;
luncheon in Dallas, attended by some
seventyfive Dallas republicans il
will cost about $4,000 to start ths
organization work. of which amour,
over $4,000 was pledged at that ga
thering. Republicans over the state
are being asked to sign notes pledg
ing amounts they will give toward
the work, and sums from 81 up are
being accepted, Mr.. Creager said to
day.
Mr.. Creager expects to leave again
in about a week for points up the
state, the purpose of his trip being
the furtherance Of plans for reor
ganization. He said it is quite prob
able that the party will establish o
state headquarters for the conduct
Of the organization plans, and Dallas
more than likely will be the city sci
ected for the purpose.
The plans inc ude reviving repub
lican clubs in the counties and even
in precincts, reviving interest in the
county and local organization, sup
porting newspapers with republican
tendencies by the formation of o
press association, and probably the
establishment Of statewide daily
newspaper.

and prompt attention at the head

DR.. c. A. Stayton, State supervisor
of the service, with offices at 511 Me-

noon.
The American Legion, through its
official agazine several months ago,
pointed out frequent instances of dis
abled soldiers badly In need of medl-
cal care being banded about from Of

of them gave up the quest for Gov

bles were aired before Congress by
legion officials.

Meridian Life building and entered
room which looked like 1t might be
the office of the State supervisor.
A query for DR.. Stayton brought an
answer from a polite young woman
to the effect that she did not believe
the doctor was in and would any one
else do. The reporter stated his mis-
sion and the young woman informed
him she thought Or. Stayton might
