says that Ballinger has the best
record of any town in this part of
the state for enlistments in the
navy. More men have gone from
Ballinger than from San Angelo.
He says that eighty per cent of
the men going from Ballinger have
passed the examinations at Dal-

record, when compared to the
general average of other towns of

Austin, Tex., July 7.—Despite
the statement given out today by
the locating board of the West
Texas A. & M. college that Abi-
lene had been regularly selected
as the site of the new college and
that all members of the board
were agreed that the question
should not be re-opened the situ-
ation remains unclarified tonight
by reason of a statement by
Speaker Fuller that he is now
ready ami has at all times been
ready to file an aflidavit that he
did not vote for Abilene on either
the first or the second ballot.
When the statement of the board
was issm-d today it was signed by
all of the members. After the is-
suance of the statement Commis-
sioner of Agriculture Davis and
Lieutenant Governor Hobby mad*'
it known that they made the pro-
vision signing the statement that
Mr. Reeder went to El Paso
some time ago where he applied
‘or a place in another department
«»f the army, but was rejected. De-
termined to offer his service to
lis country he tried again and is
ustly feeling proud that he has
•een accepted. The young man is
under oath to respond to a call to
be made some time between the
fifth and fifteenth of August and
he will go in training at Leon
Springs for a period of three
months, after which he will be as-
signed to regular duty and will
probably find himself in France
by next spring.
ment, ami the question continues
to remain a mystery with tin* peo-
ple to figure for themselves wheth-
er somebody made an error or
whether somebody just told a
great big black lie. The people
of Texas should rise up and de-
mand that the guilty be exposed,
and the honest men of the board
not allowed to rest until they tell
how this muddle came about.
Read the following statements
and see if you can reconcile them
with previous statements:
Austin, Texas, July 7.—Abilene
was fairly ami honestly selected
as the site for the location of the
new West Texas A. & M. College
and th** question is not to be re-
opened. according to an official
statement made public today ami
signed by every member of the lo-
cating committee. This statement
is the result of the con fen-nee
held here Friday between th*' Gov-
ernor and Speaker Fuller and oth-
er members of the locating com-
mittee. The Governor ha<| noth-
ing t*» add to the statement and
Speaker Fuller has returned to
his home at Cold Springs.
Lieutenant Governor Hobby did
not personally inspect the sites
offered or accompany the commit-
tee, but the statement bears his
signature. This is the last state-

the truth. Abilene was fairly an*
honestly selected. There has
never been any trouble with the
committee; the trouble seems to

that this settles the question for
all time.”
When questioned for a state-
ment Commissioner of Agricul-
ture Davis said: “I signed the
statement willingly and it is in
harmony with my statement made
at the beginning of the contro-
versy. However, my signature
was given with the reservation
fully made and understood by the
committee that in the event three
members of the board made affi-
davits which show that an error
was made in the count on the sec-
ond ballot, which ballot showed
three votes for Abilene, I stand

had thought that these qualifica-

would either not have signed the

It is fair to say that Commission-
er Davis had state*] to the com-
mission at the informal conference
that he made certain promises
with reference to the filing of an
aflidavit and that in case they in-
sisted in doing so he would sign
with that provision.”
Mr. Fuller exhibited telegrams
and letters to show he had made
etforts to reconvene the locating
board. These showed that he had
communicated with Lieutenant
and Governor Hobbv and Commission-
