Fort Worth, Tex, Aug. 9,-Belief
that the rift in Texas democracy
caused by injection of the Ku Klux
Klan issue into this years elections
affords the republican party an OPP
portunity to immensely increase its
strength in this state today pervaded
the republican state convention, in

That election of a republican
United States senator from Texas
next November is possible, due to
widespread dissatisfaction among
democrats with the situation which
offers them their choice between a
Ku Klux Klan candidate and an i'm.
peached governor, is the confident
assertion of the more optimistic re-
publican leaders.
No opportunity will be lost in the
framing of the republican platform
and selection of nominees, it was
indicated early today, to widen the
democratic split over the Klan is
sue. This purpose was outlined to
the convention by R. B. Creager
state republican chairman.
