TEXAS PRIMARY
ON SECOND LAP
TO STATE MEET
Khan Charges Hurled
On Eve OF County
Conventions

DALLAS, Texas, May Shy As
ISOLATED Press. )--On the eve of the
democratic county conventions IN Texas
tomorrow which will select delegates
to the state convention at Waco, May
u, the strength Of William G. McAdoo,
candidate for the democratic presiden-
tial nomination in the precinct meet
ings last Saturday was ascrlbed to
the, support of the Ku Klux Khan in
a statement issued today by w. II.
Lea, Texas manager for Senator Oscar
w. Underwood.
When shown the statement, Cato
Sells, state manager for McAdoo brand
ed it as an absurd gugaboo.
An honest campaign fairly and open
| ly conducted in an attempt to wake
Texans from the Supplying effects OF
Ku Kluxism may have failed,' Mr.. Lea
said. "But that question is yet to be
determined tomorrow in the county con-
ventions and on May q in the state
convention at Waco.
"A Strange Thing"
ut must be apparent to all think
Ting men in Texas that a strange thing
Happened last Saturday, thing that
never before happened in this country
before the Kl Kllx Khan appeared.
"A little drama enacted IN one precinct
Fin Texas was enacted in precincts all
over Texas without word of fore
warning in the public press.
I'm secret meetings of the klaverns
( of Texas word was passed out in prep
aration for the primary conventions
Final commands were passed out on
1.-THE day of the conventions in the
form of hand bills printed only for the
leyes of klansmen.
You, as a loyal klansman, see that
the following resolution is passed at
your precinct convention Saturday
they read. This following resolution
was one endorsing McAd0O. In few
precincts resolutions were adopted for
bidding delegates ever to give their
support to Underwood or Gov. Al
Smith"
ut is an even sadder commentary on
the Texas situation that a man be-
lieved by any considerable number Of
persons to be of presidential stature
should entrust his political fortunes to
the Ku Klux Klany" Mr.. Lea said, "and
yet Mr.. McAdoo did that thing in
Texas even as he did in Georgia"
~ MTs Iva AuTIucE CuArEeS Iudt Two
years ago at San Antonio honest Texans
looked on with shame while an unholy
alliance was formed between the Ku
Klux Khan and a little group of boss
politicians to control the destinIes of
not alone the democratic party in
Texas but the very state itself"
~ Charges Denied
ut is an absurd bugaboo," Mr.. Sells
said, when shown the Underwood state
ment. ut is simply a desperate last
moment effort Of q lost cause to reflect
on cleanly conducted and clearly won
campaign.
''AIr. McAdoois overwhelming ma jor-
ity in Saturdays precinct meeting was
a reputation by Texas of an unhOly
alliance and unjust attack. 1t was
the response of all classes of our cit
izenship who believe in McAdoo as
a man and the principals for which he
stands.
"McAdOo will have at least three
fourths of the delegates to the state con-
vention instructed for him and many
Of the uninstructed delegates will also
be for McAdoo.''
