voting precinct OF the state. He
also said the party will receive con-
tributionS from civil service en-
ployes. but that such contributions
must be free-will, without expecta-
ton of reward.
Mr.. Creager addressed a meeting
Of so central Texas republicans and
Hoovercrats In a luncheon az the
Driskill. at which James w. Bass.
collector Of internal revenues. pre-
sided. Both he and Wilmington
declared the party welcomes with
open arms the Hoover democrats"
who helped them carry the state
last year. Reference was made TO
attempts Of the democratic party to
bar them. and Wilmington de-
clared the republican party is
proud of them. There will be no
mourners' bench in the republican
party. no period of probation. They
can become good republicans over
night"
Mr.. Creager declared Texas has
been without influence in national
party affairs for so years because
OF blind following OF one party.
That party is so sure of them It
ignores them. and the other party.
considering Texas hopeless, has ig-
nored it also. Two-party govern
ment will give Texas its rightful
prestige in affairs OF the nation.
There Is no reason why Texas
should net give the nation a presi-
dent. 1t has citizens OF caltbre
equal to those from other states
who have been nominated"
The democrats who voted for
Hoover did not do so in expectation
of reward. Mr.. Creager said. but
they. representing the highest type
OF citizenship. voted for him TO up
hold a principle. They are Of the
type from which we want to build
a powerful republican party in
Texas. and the kind Of men and
women we want to call to the re-
publican party'S leadership"
He said the republican party had
been reorganized on a high plane
in the past eight years. Wed
never have carried Texas with the
old type organization. OF if we had
been tainted" he declared.
OF Sen. Brookhart's tilt with him
in Washington ne said. II consider
IL the worst reflection I know on
the people of lows that they should
have selected that man Brookhart
their senator. I think he found out
regardless Of the fact that he Is a
United States senator. that he can
not trample on the rights Of Ameri-
car citizens"
The same line OF cleavage and
bitterness that divided Texas demo-
Gratis in the SElith-Hoover election
still exists. and will exist in next
years state elections. Er. Creager
predicted. II see a coantion that
will place a republican governor in
the chair AT Austin and elect a
majority OF the house and senate
he declared. II look to this. not as
a party victory. but as a victory of
good citizenship

Release of Prisoners and
Diversion of Marines
Aids to Peace.
RIOT FEAR is SUBSIDING
Lifting of Martial Law Is
Urged Widely by
Native Leaders.
BY SAM LOVE,
United Press staff Correspondent

PORT AU PRINCE, Haiti, Dec.
| 11.-Release of ninety-eight politi-
cal prisoners, including twenty-siX
arrested as instigators of the street
riots last week, coupled with word
that marine reinforcements en-
route here had been diverted to
Guantanamo Bay, caused great re-
joicing throughout Haiti today and
served to dispel considerably fear
of further bloodShed in political
revolt.
With only few prisoners remain
ing in confinement and with in
dnential business leaders insisting
that the disorders were ended lift
ing of martial law which was de-
clared last Wednesday, was urged
widely by native leaders.
Even the opponents of the admin
| iStration of President Louis Borno
against whom last weeks revolt were
directed, showed a willingness to
accept peace, assuring the United
Press correspondent that they would
welcome marine-supervised cleo
ton such as was held in Nicaragua
and Santo Domingo.
No Hostile Reaction
Despite the fact that news of the
clash at Aux Cages in which from
five to twelve natives were killed,
had penetrated Throughout the is
land, Haitian garde officials report
ed there had been no hostile re-
action and that all indications
pointed to a speedy return to normal
peaceful conditions.
Another tSend toward peace was
the announcement of President
Borno that the marriage of his
daughter, Madeleine to Daniel Brun,
Port Au Prince architect, scheduled
for Dec. IA, would be held.
Government opposition leaders
said the people of Haiti would well
come marine-supervised election
of a president to succeed President
Borno who announced recently that
he would not seek a third term in
office.
Such a general election would
choose senators and deputies for
two-year term, who in turn would
name a president to succeed Borno
in April, the informants said.
All Want u. S. Control
"All parties want the United
States to supervise and control a
loyal and honest election by the peo-
pie" Placide David, editor of the
newspaper La Presse, said. Ernest
G.. Chauvet, editor of LIE Nouvelliste,
and Charles Moravia, editor of LIE
Temps, agreed with David.
Seymour Pradel, attorney, former
minister of the interior and men
toned as a possible candidate for
President, characterized the pro-
posed supervised election as "the
only one to satisfy all Haitians ac-
cording to the Constitution"
1.-THE sacred official promise made
by the United States government in
1915 to help Haiti have a President
by the people never has been kept" :"
the editor, Chauvet said.
1.-THE actual president has been
elected and reelected by a body of
functionaries called the council of
state, appointed by the president to
re-elect him. We have peace in
the streets, but that Is not enough.
We want peace in everybody's mind
and a supervised election would
