The old gray horse came tearing out of the wilderness but he soon
broke down when he struck the plowedground because it was so
thoroughly broke and so very deep that you could plainly see that
the plow was not cheap so the argument came up that very day
and every one there did quickly say that the plowing had most

STATE DEMOCRATIC CONVENT!
COMPLETES WORK AND ADJOURNS
SAN ANTONIO August 13. The
throwing of the limelight upon only
Governor Thomas Mitchell Campbell
by the Campbellite rulo that only nom-
inating speeches should be made for
the highest office tin the ticket and for
State chairman the carrying out of
the agreement whereby A. B. Storey
was made the successor of George A.
Carden; the withdrawal of the antls'
resolution which provided that mem-
bers of the legislature would not bo
bound to submission when their dis-
tricts voted against it which by $lie
way stood a fair chance of passing
and the delivery by; R. M. Hall of the
Panhandle country of a most bitter
pro partisan speech in which San An-
tonio and San Antonians were freely
grilled' formed the important phases
of the last session of the Democratic
State convention which adjourned at
noon today.
Governor Campbell was deprecatory
very deprecatory retiring and mod
est claiming the sounding huzzas
merely as tributes to the official act
of a Democratic executive and a Dem-
ocratic legislature that in the course
of human events has become known
as the Thirtieth but he took occasion
to thank the people of Texas for the
support they had given him.
The governor declared that ho gave
hearty support to the platform adop-
ted and added thaf'tho time has come
in Texas when a Democratic platform
is taken to mean a demand from the
people."
The governor declared "you must
take my record of the past as an earn-
est of tho future."

A. B. Storey was placed in nomina-
tion' for -state chairman by Senatof
A. P. Barrett of Fannin county and
the seconding speeches served to in-
troduce S. W. Blount and Sterling P
Strong the former until this morning
the opponent of Storey and the sub-
missionlsts' choice.
At the conclusion of Storey's ad-
dress just as a delegafe moved ad-
journment Judge R. L. Ball of San
Antonio asked the convention to per-
mit H. B. Hall of Vernon to address
the convention. Mr. Hall had a resolu-
tion to present asking the convention
to memorialize congress to purchase
thePalodura canyon In the Panhan-
dle country for a national park but
before he offered the resolution he de-
livered a prohibition speech that evin-
ced round after round of gleeful yells
from the pros. Incidentally Hall de-
livered a roast upon San Antonio that
made the home delegation fairly boll
Tvith anger.
Before adjournment the convention
adopted resolutions of condolence
upon tho death of former governor
Lanham and one asking the Thjrty-
flrst legislature to confer with Mrs.
John H. Reagan in reference to pro-
curing for tho state certain papers
held by tho estate of the Jate Texas
patriot.
It was 11:55 when the convention
adjourned.

committee will meet at 3:30 this after-

and that tho Republicans would find a
hot opposition in every county.
J. C. McNealus of Dallas had no op-
ponent for re-election as secretary.
The platform in its entirety as re-
ported by the majority was adopted at
10:15 o'clock today.
The pent up enthusiasm of the zea-
lot who with eyes closed) still sees
the marching thousand of saved souls
broke forth with tho defeat of the mi-
nority platform plank against submis-
sion Inst night and for thirty min-
utes the gathering of the Democracy
of Texas was turned into something
akin to a camp meeting lacking only
the sodded floor the canvassed roof
and the mingled men and women for
the women occupied only the galler-
ies in market hall.
"With the Announcement that antl-
submlsslon was lost 'by a vote of 419
to 235 delirium took possession of the
majority of the convention the en-
thusiastic "Hallelujahs" amehs and
glorys" deafened all opposing sounds
and a military band in the gallery
vainly sought to blend harmony with
the riot running free upon the con-
vention floor. Delegates climbed upon
chairs "wildly waving a myriad of arms
and each vied with the other in voice
slralnlng shouts. Rev. A. W. Jones
Rev Dr. Rankin and a dozen othercj
in the leadership of the pros started
a procession that landed only at the
platform where 50 delegates swarmed
over the press tables to the chairman's
stand and every obstacle in their way.
Here led by Rev William D. Upshaw
tho Georgian who promises State-wide
prohibition in Texas the throng joined
in singing "Jesus Lover of My Soul"
and "Jesus Wash My Sins Away."
The action that pledged the Democ
racy of Texas to the cause of prohibi-
tion submission came after a fight of
two hours in which two orators from
each side submitted to tho conven-

Ralley Men Dominate.
If Joseph Weldon Bailey had been
present in tho flesh in the Democratic
Stato convention yesterday afternoon
ho could not have dominated ifcmoro
completely than he did in the spirit
when a proposition before the body
seemed to trench upon a criticism of
his conduct.
Here Is tho proposition that Involked
the fight: "That no member' of tho
legislature shall 'during the term of
service receive any employment or
compensation from any public service
corporation or trust."
The proposition was advanced by
Congressman Randell of Sherman as
an amendment to the tenth plank of
tho platform which declares for In-
creasing the number of leglsltors.
Wiley Mangum Imboden of Austin
sprang to tho front of tho platform
and flung a question at Mr. Randell
that gave the Bailey people their cue
for opposition.
"I want to ask a question' he said.
"A railroad conductor Is a candidate
for tho legislature. Would that amend
ment force him to quit his position.."
" "It would" replied Mr. Randell.
"Then It ought to be defeated"
snapped Mr. Imboden.
And as the roll was called and tho
Bailey counties announced opposition
to the amendment shout after shout
shook tho rafters of the building. Be-
fore it was half completed it was evi-
dent that tho proposition was defeat-
ed i
I And when tho vote 335 to 284 wan
announced a whirlwind of applauso
' broke loose.
Blount "Withdrawn.
Tho withdrawal of S W. Blount of
Nacogdoches from tho light for 8tato
chairman left a clear field for A. B.
Storey of Lockhnrt Blount's with
drawal was tho result of a compro-
mise hetweon tho controlling pros and
antls.
Tho antls had secured tho Indorse-
ment by thq majority of the-common
resolutions of resolution No. 1 which
provided that Democratic sonntors and
Republicans In the- Thirty-first legisla-
ture be unbounded by tho submission
plank but privileged to vptc In accord-
ant with tho majority wish of their
districts as expressed In the primary.
Wlth the showing made yesterday
w'hon the supporters of Senator Balloy
showed their mottlo upon tho Randell
resolution thq pro leaders nfter tho
first flush of victory adopted a moro
' conservative coyrso and at an early
morning conference in which Mr.
Blount Sterling P. Strong and Dr.
Rankin participated It was dccldod to'
withdraw tho former
i Tho antls then agreed to tho with-
drawal oi tlift resolution which threat-
ened trouble. It was tho good offices
of Governor Campbell that decided

porters as woll as tlio Baljoy adher-
