A few days ago the Times made
some criticism of the action of the
State Executive Committee in giving
the August State convention to San
Antonio, and was promted in its action
by the fact that San Antonio bad of-
fered to pay the hotel bills of the com-
mittee and turn over to it $2500 with
which to-pay the prsonal expenses of
the individual members of the com-
mlttee, including railroad fares to and
from the convention The Times' only
authority for making the criticism was
from an editorial in the Hall County
Herald, edited by State Senator W. A.
Johnson, of Memphis, and had never
seen anything from any member of the
State Executive Committee denying
A the accusations brought against it by
- that paper. Therefore, the Times na
turally concluded that what the Her-
ald charged was true, and if true de
served rebuke from the Democrats of
Texas. It appears, however, that the
Herald has been misinformed. The
Times learns from Nat Henderson
of this city, who is the member of the
Committee from the 29th Senatorial
district, that the $2,500 put up by San
Antonio to get the convention is not
to be used to pay the personal expenses
of the members of the committee,
therefore the Times is glad of the op
portunity to make the correction on
the authority of one of its members,
and trusts the Hall County Herald.
which is usually fair, will do the same.
The executive commute of the Ger-
man Texas State League has issued a
circular and sent it broadcast over
Texas recommending that its members
and friends who are qualified to vote
and participate in the July Democratic
primary election support the follow-
ing candidates for the reason that the
executive committee recommends
these men because they believe that
prohibition is the main issue in the
approaching (primary) election, and
that the State League should unqual
ifiedly align itself on the side of thor
candidates as it knows to be against
prohibition. The League knows that
these candidates are- against prohlbi-
tlon, or at least, it knows that they will
do nothing to bring prohibition Into
our State." The candidates named In
this circular are: J. F. Wolters, for U.
S. Senate; O. B. Colquitt for governor;
Wiley M. Imboden for lieutenant gov-
ernor; W. L. Edwards for treasurer;
Bob Barker for comptroller; James D.
Walthall for attorney general; E. R.
Kone for commissioner of agriculture;
John L. Wortham for railroad com-
missioner: J. B. Dibrell and Nelson
Phillips for supreme court judges, and
J. C. Muse for judge of court of crim-
inal appeals. So far but one of the
candidates named above have seen
proper to make denial of any authority
Ion the part of the German Texas State
League to place him In the attitude
of being opposed to prohibition, or who,
“at least will do nothing to bring pro
~ hibition into the State,” and that man
is Wiley M. Imboden, candidate for
lieutenant governor, who while in
Wichita Falls on Monday called the
Times' attention to the circular and
also to an interview given out by him
y and published in the Dallas News in
which he took occasion to say that he
was not even acquainted with but one
member of the Executive Committee
% of the German State League, and that
he had never discussed with him his
attitude on the prohibition question.
He did say; however, that he was a
prihibitionist and had voted that
way in 1887, and at every election since
that time when the question was up
for consideration, and while he appre-
clated the support the German, Tex-
as League was giving him in bis can-
didacy for the lieutenant governor
ship, he does not want to deceive any
one as to his position at, this time on
the prohibition question. The only
time Mr. Imboden could have done
anything that might have led the Ger-
man Texas League to believe that he
was an ant, or "would do nothing to
bring prohibition about la Texas," was
when the matter of, submission was up,
and he voted aguinst submission, but
when, the election was ordered, he vot-
ed tor State-wide prohibition. The
Times makes this explanation In jus-
tice to Mr. Imboden that no one, pro
Jar anti, might withdraw or give him
their support on account of a wrong
impresson they might gain from read-
lag the circular letter seat out by the
German Texas League.

SIDELIGHTS ON
THE CHICAGO FIGHI
’(Continued From Page One)
of Austin; and Eugene H. Blount,
district delegate, Nacogdoches. Mr.
Gregory says he is praying for the
nomination of Colonel Roosevelt, and
believes his prayer will be answer-
ed. .
“If Roosevelt should be nominated
here nothing on earth csn stop the
sweep toward Woodrow Wilson at
Baltimore," said Mr. Gregory. "We
will probably know by midnight just
what is going to happen and I shall
be a happier man if the indications
point to the nomination of the Oyster
Bay citizen.”
“Every little hit, helps," chirped
Philip La Follette, 17-year-old son of
the Wisconsin senator who seeks
presidential honors.
This lad was the busiest man, to all
appearances, in the La Follette head-
quarters. If he was not pinning a
badge on a delegation of La Follette
rooters he was passing out literature
to inquirers.
Philip, however, was not the only
member of the La Follette family who
was engaged in helping father. His
daughter, Fola, now Mrs. George
Middleton of New York, is election-
eering for the cause of the family
head. With Mbs. Middleton is Mrs.
J. P. Dollivar, widow of the Iowa
senator.
For the first time in the- history
of Republican National conventions,
no picture of the President hangs in
the Coliseum, where today 1,708
- delegates from the States and terris
tories of the nation met to name a
candidate for President and Vice
President and to formulate a party
1 platform.
Rough iron work, arching overhead,
is hidden beneath red, white and
blue bunting, and the galleries are
marked by lines of mountain laurel
draped about tri-colored shields and
more flags. Over the main entrance
a velvet rug of royal purple marks
the box of Chairman Frederick Up-
ham of the local committee on ar-
rangements and his Chicago aides.
The chairmen’s table bearing a
brass plate inscribed to inform all
that the desk was occupied by the
chairman four years ago when Wm.
H. Taft was nominated, stands about
a third of the way from the south
end of the rectangular, hall, on a
diaa. Back of it are the seats of the
National committee and the space for
the "workers" and those who helped
to finance the gathering. At its side
are grouped 500 seats for newspaper-
men, where every word may be
heard distinctly land ticked away to
ninety million Americans and many
times more''persons of other lands,
who will be awaiting the message of
the men at the keys.
In a basement, in addition, the
newspaper men have great spacious
newspaper men have great spacious ing Temple; B. O. Ward, Marlin; C.
rooms, where a hundred telegraph C. Littleton, Weatherford; J. M Op-
penheimer, San Antonio; John Hall,
operators or reporters may work for
each press association or paper, and
adjoining, two bunded operators of
the telegraph companies attended by
many messenger boys will be ready
to add the news reports or convey
other information aboard.
Right upon the wall, back of the
speaker’s stand, which fronts the
chairman's table, hangs a broad blue
shield, on which are embroidered in
gold the arms of the United States.
Copies of the first thirteen-starred
flag of the nation flank it, and above,
below and around are hundreds of
large silken emblems of America.
An enthusiastic Taft man tried to
give a Taft button to Mrs. Geo. Par-
i dee, wife of former Governor Pardee
’ of California, In the lobby of the
Congress Hotel. “Have a Taft but-
ton. please,” said the Taft rooter to
Mrs. Pardee, “We permit woman to
wear them, even 44 they have not got
a vote."
“Thank you," replied Mrs. Pardee.
"I wear a Roosevelt badge, I have a
vote and when my three daughters
are of age we shall have three voters
in the family, Mr. Pardee is for
Roosevelt, 1 am for Roosevelt and
my three daughters are for Roosevelt.
1 shall take the Taft pin as a souvenir,
however." ,
Mrs. Alice Longworth predicts s
week of victory for the Roosevelt
family. The Longworths have a suite
at the Blackstone Hotel. The con-
gressman, when he is not busy talk-
ing politics, is practicing, on a violin.
His wife, the daughter of the Intrepid
colonel, doesn’t mind talking politics.*
"How does this campaign compare
with the last one your father was
in ?′ she was asked.
“Well, its a bit 'more exciting but
the result is going to be the same,"
she laughingly replied. "I think ev-
ery woman should make it a point to
study politics. I never took much In-
terest In It until we awoke to find
father In the White House.”
The Texas delegation east thirty
one votes for Senator Root for chair-
man and eight votes for Governor Mc-
Govern of'Wisconsin. One Roosevelt
elegate, F. N. Hopkins of Alba, Tex.,
was absent His alternate, S. L.
Williams of /Malakoff, also was ab-
sent. the result being that the Roose-
velt candidate did not get all the
nine Roosevelt votes of the delega-
Eugene aroer of Comanche, anoth-
er Roosevelt delegate, was also re-
ported absent by the reading clerk
and Sam Davidson of Fort Worth,
an alternate, cast his vote for Mc-
Govern.

Of the ninety millions or more peo-
ple In the United States and the hun-
dreds of thousands in other countries
intensely interested in the conven-
tion, less than 14,000 were destined
to see the history making. In fact,
it seemed hardly possible that the
hall, huge as it looked, could hold
nearly 14,000 people. Yet that is only
a few more than the total—published
figures to the contrary—that the Col-
iseum will hold as arranged for this
convention. Seats, platform, press
benches, aisles, runways, etc., are fig
ured to hold a total of 13,770 people.
This total includes 11,270 in the body
of the hall, 1,990 on the platform:
150 sergeants at arms; 500 police-
men, and 400 messangers, ushers and
pages. ■
