Texas Minority Party Hopes

DALLAS, Oct. 23.-GP-Tcxas
Republicans who have not been taken
seriously in state politics since recon-

house at Austin in the 1926 elections,
if developments vindicate the optimism
Of the state legislative committee and
lending Republicans in caucus here.
The capture will be effected, it was
intimated at yesterdays sessions with
the aid of Democrats, who are ex-
pected to rebuke past and present
conditions by forsaking party lines
and vote for the man. And the
G. o. p. adherents confidently plan
to enter a gubernatorial candidate
who will draw votes from both parties.
RAP STATE AFFAIRS.
No secret was made by the Republi-
cans of their intention TO capitalize
the present unrest in state politics as
an argument for the two-party system.
Speakers yesterday were of the
unanimous opinion that state affairs
now are in "disgraceful condition"
Two fill state tickets hereafter would
be the salvation of the state politi-
cally, they agreed.
An informal convention will be
held next spring by the Republicans
to recommend candidates for the first
statewide primary in Texas. In the
meantime. a missionary and educa-
tional campaign will be carried on to
gain new converts and revive the old
ones. Literature will be distributed

'intricacies of the Terrell primary
system" and there are plans for a
newspaper to harbinger the awaken
