KLAN issue IN
TEXAS POLITICS
VIII Remain So Until After Final
Elections Are Held In
The Fall

DALLAS, Tex, August 25.-The
Ku Klux Klan promises to be an issue
in Texas politics until after the final
elections in November. 1t has be-
come vital issue in the Democratic
party, especially in the race for Dem
ocratic nomination for United States
Senator, and is creeping into the race
for nomination for lesser state offices.
It has also been a bitter issue in GER
tain counties.
The action of the Republican State
committee in opposing the Klan in
its platform, adopted in convention
at Fort Worth, Aug. 9, precludcs
dropping of the issue after the Demo
cratic primary of Aug. &c, Pohtic-
ians declare they see bid by the
Republicans for the anti-Klan Demo-
cratic vote in the platform plank Op-
posing the Klan.
The Republicans, for the first time
in a number of years have full state
ticket in the field now. Heretofore
nomination on the Democratic ticket
has been considered equal to election,
with only an occasional exception.
There are few members of the Repub
lican party optimistic enough to de-
clare they expect the Republican vote
will show an increase, and the Demo-
Gratis wilt not have as easy a time
as in the past.

WATSONCALLED
Cliff ASS
Hardwick DoSsnt Think There
Has Been Mich Change In 2
Years--Starts Something

ATLANTA, august 25. - The
Hardwick campaign committee came
back today with statement written
by Tom Watson two years ago anent
Clifford Walker. The Walker peo-
pie published a telegram from Tom
Watson to Major McGregor in which
Watson wired McGregor that Hard
wick had broken every promise made
to him. The Hardwick committee to-
day sends out a copy of an editorial
written by Tom Watson two years
ago in which he had few pert things
to say about Mr.. Walker. Among
some Of the things said by Mr.. Wat
son are the following:
Cliff you are making a wonderful
ass of yourself.
Mr.. Walker you never in your life
did me a favor. / owe you nothing.
Mr.. Walker you are now mere
piece Of poor putty.
Mr.. Cliff Walker you are a sorry
little fellow; you went back on your
friends and your principles-so far
as you had any principles.
Everybody knows you are against
the people.
If you don't know it you are an
unconscious dead limb.
And when your real policital char
actor becomes known, no church will
want you and no constituency will
give you its vote.
This statement of Mr.. Watson
written in the Columbia Sentinel two
years ago is said to be a complete
answer to anything Mr.. Watson
might accuse Hardwick Of now. Mr..
Watson has never repudiated this
statement regarding Walker, and ev-
en- his close friends say that they do
not see how he can do so.

ROADS WILL FIGHT STRIKERS
ENDED~-LEADERS
LEAVE NEW YORK
Head OF Strike COMMITTEES Says
"We'll Beat Those
Fellows"


NEW YORK, August 25.-(By
the Associated Fress.) - Attempts
to end the shopmen's strike by sep
arate settlements with individual
roads failed today and the confer
ences have broken off. Rail exeeu-
tives are preparing to leave town.
In announcing the break of nego-
tiations David Williams, head Of the
Eastern strike committee, said moth
ing else could have happened. If
they all quit fussing around wen
beat these fellows"
From unofficial sources it was
learned the break came when the
labor men rejected a proposal re-
garded by the rail executives as a big
concession.
Yesterdays peace negotiations
centerd on conferences between the
brotherhood chiefs, cast as mcdiators,
and the executives of more than a
score of roads representing appro3i-
mately 30 per cent of the rail mile
age in the United States-c6nferen
es which were called to order after
the Association Of Railway Execu-
tives yesterday had stoutly declined
to- yield on the seniority question
but some of its members had indicat-
ed an interest in suggestion that
separate agreements might be pos
sible.
Exactly nineteen roads, aggregat-
ing about a quarter of the cduntry's
mileage, We're represented when the
days first session opened at the Yale
club yesterday morning. After the
luncheon recess, during which the
mediators reported back TO the strik-
ing shopmen at the Hotel Woodstock,
several more executives slipped into
the general conference, until more
than fifty main lines and their sub
salaries were represented when the
parIeys broke UP shortly before Z
O'Clock The eSaboard Air Line was
one Of the roads listed among the
new conferees.
Although both sides professed
themselves no nearer agreement than
when they first went into conference,
it was cvendent that the door to
peace had not been entirely closed,
for announcement was made that
another session had been scheduled
for Friday. Observers speculated
with interest upon the question of
whether more roads would send their
officials to the next meeting.
