THE SAN ANTONIO DAILY EXPRESS: FRIDAY MORNING, FEBRUARY 17, 1911.
In committee and the chairman was ve»f-
ed with authority to name a »ubco:n
xniltee to confer with a like organization
from the Senate. Of course, Williams
named friends of his measure, men vvho,
in all probability, helped him to draft It.
A motion by TtepreHentativ* Martin of
Lamar bounty to have the wib'onnnirtee
composed of nine men was voted down.
A proposition to have only five oti the
subcommittee and to make the chair
man a member waa carried.
Williams at once appointed Nickels of
Hill, Standlfer of itarHs, Terrell of
Bexar and Watson of llay-
Tf he thinks he should. Chairman Hud-
speth of the Senate Committee w ill name
a similar body to talk over the situa-
tion with the men sppptnted by Williams.
With every passing day it becomes
more and more evident the Senate will
need help whin it comes to shaping the
boundaries of new congressional dis-
tricts. There are too many prospective
candidates holding senatorial seats for
that body to have, any marked uniform-
ity of sentiment or action in reappor-
tionment of congressional districts.
For this reason, if po other, it is ar-
giu-d and beloved by many, the Williams
bill grows stronger every day. It Is a
positive quantity. It probably pleases as
many members and as many people as
any other bill that oould be dratted It
mark which the politicians arc
gazing with unabated Interest and the
nger thfcy stare the better they may
feel about it At any rate, tin* opposi-
tion to it must take more concrete form
than it presents now if the measure ever
id to be seriously mutilated
SAN ANTONIANS SCORE BILL
Proposed "Shoestring" District Which Cuts Out
llexar County's Neighbor Denounced as a Gerry-
mander Which Legislature Should Defeat.
Interest in San Antonio in the congres-
sional reapportionment bill now before the
Texas Legislature Is very keen, not onjy
Among thox»» most concerned by reason of
political friendships or affiliations, but
also among business men generally. This
interest la centered largely In the districts
In South end West. Texas and especially
in the Twelfth Congressional District
which, with Bexar County at the extreme
sout.i and Coleman, Brown end Comanche
Counties at the extreme north, would have
the form of u shoestring knotted at each
end.
Comment Is made that the two ends of
the district as proposed have few Impor-
tant interests in common and the counties
compenied by several diagrams, Capt. John
E. Elgin discusses the proposed reappor-
tionment bill ns follows:
"I heg to submit a few of th« incongrui-
ties of the Hudspeth-Williams reappor-
tionment bill, and to expose the outrageous
gerrymander, not in the Interest of party,
but lor purely personal reasons,
"The \V«*t Texas, or TCI I'aso district,
is 34,000 short of population, while the
East Texas district, embracing Shelby i
and Panola Counties, have an excess of J
25.000. The South Texas, op Brownsville!
district, is short 28,000, while the North!
Texas, or Panhandle district, has an ex- j
cess of 14,000.
"The four gulf coast districts are short]
70,000 In population, while the four lied j
River districts have a surplus of filJ.OOO. !

The above table shows the deficiency
congressional districts.
which would compose It are inaccessible
to each other. In fact, communication be-
tween counties in the center of the shoe-
string with adjacent counties may ho had
only by means of wagon roads, difficult
to travel, or by a round-about trip to the
end of the string across half the State to
the other end and then on to destination.
The district as apportioned ten years ago
has been subjected to much criticism be-
cause of its lack of compactness, hut it
is nothing as compared t • the district as
proposed.
SAN ANTONIANS OPPOSE IT.
Bexar County's interests and affiliations,
it is <-"nteud^d. are with the counties Im-
mediately adjoining It, especially with
those to the south, southwest and west.
Whatever affects the Southwest Texas
coast or border points affects Bexar Coun-
ty. but occasions no concern |n the coun-
ties ;it the northern end of the proposed
shoestring. The Interests of Fort Sam
Houston are of vital Importance In Bexar
County and of slight «-on sequence 1u
Brown. Coleman and Cemanche Counties,
and this is one reason why the people of
Sau Antonio are so united in their opposi-
tion to the district -is outlined
Likewise, it Is said the northern end of
the shoestring lias Interests which do not
affect, especially the people of Bexar or
Kendall or Gillespie Counties, and it is
probable the people there will h<> as
averse t<« having a representative in Con-
gress who comes from the southern part
of the State, many miles from them, »is tin*
people of the southern end would object
to having a represents tire from the north-
ern end. each feeling that its interests
would not be looked after properly by one
with so little in common with them

COMMENTS OF CITIZENS.
Comments on the reapportionment bill
by various citizens of San Antonio are
as follows:
Carlos Bee When the fathers of our
government divided the State Into con-
gressional, senatorial and representative
districts it was intended to carry out the
Idea of having a representative from a
section of people who lived near to each
other and whose business, social, political
and commercial views wore as nearly as
possible alike. While the reapportionment
of the State into congressional districts
Is a very difficult matter for satisfactory
adjustment, vet it should l»e the desire
of the Legislature, regardless of the
political or personal ambitions of any
man, affected thereby, to so divide the
State as to carry o it the Intention of
the fathers. San Antonio Is the largest
city 1m the State, and by reason of its
military p,»st aud proximity to the border
has more . >vernmental Interests than any
other K- ct ton of Texas. A district of
which ii tortus |he center, with counties
U1 ' " commercial, social and political
'■ ts are the saroft, should be created.
'1 ho.-.c who represent San Antonio should
be alert to its protection In this very
important respect. Without criticizing
trio author nf f(ie redistricting bill which
will no presented, San Antonio should
not b» made a part of a congressional dis-
!''• Mlu' °f tic countb :• of which no.v
in the Port Worth district, but a
•dstrir; should be created not only looking
!" t'", interests of the Democratic part"
but to tho interests of San Antonio and
its adjacent territory, whose welfare Is
so closely bound together. It Is interest-
ing to note that with the large Increase
hi population in San Antonio and Bexar
' ounty, this county alone will almost be
entitled to a State Senator. This is the
time to forget all differences and all work
together to tho good end for our best in-
terests.
FAVORS CONTIGUOUS DISTRICT.
1-• J. llart, real estate operator—The
Fwrlfth congressional District as outlined
bv the reapportionment bill does not im-
press me at all favorablv. I do not think
thai it is to the advantage of counties
that are Inaccessible t<> each other to ue
8fr< uped in a congressional district, it
would s«ein that Bexar County should
not be made a part of a strung out dis-
trict such as the one suggested, but
should be connected with counties more
closely allied in a business way than are
Bexar find ''oinanche Counties. I hope
to mo i district formed other than one
which has extension In length only.
Marshall Hicks. When I read tho bill
it occurred to me that many of the dis-
1 riots," the Twelfth among them, are sub-
ject to tho criticism made by Congress-
man Slayden, that they are not as com-
pact as they should be. I have never
favored the present Twelfth District for
the reason that Bexar County is
placed In the r one district with counties
that aro not tributary to this section and
with which we are not connected in a
business or political way. In the old
Twelfth, as in the new, Bexar is the ex-
treme southern county and we have not
even nnv convenient railway connection
with tl tiicr cud of this district. The
new bill lakes Kerr County away from
this district and that county is one of
our best and closest neighbors, with
whom we have business, political and so-
cial relation,- I do not see the reason
for this.
Claude V Bit khead I don't like the re-
arranged district n8 affecting San An-
tonio. [ think " should be more compact,
it would be a much more logical district
if the counties were grouped better.
Should the hill become a law we will be
entirely removed from the northern end
of the district, with which we have no
communication excep* in a round about,
way bv wav of For/ Worth. The northern
erd hu • interests that aro not akin to
ours It i in no way tributary to San
Antonio The Interests of the two sec-
tions .ire almost as far apart as the poles.
I ( m't believe the Dill will pass in Its
present shape.
VIEWS OF A REPUBLICAN-
,T O. Terrell. Republican candidate for
Governor at the last general election I
think each congressional district should
be compact and composed of districts
having Interests in common. I am not
surprised, however, at the proposed
action of the Democratic 1 egisla'ure of
Texas The Democrats in the past have
shown a partiality for shoestring districts
and ihe Democrats of the present are
merdv following established Democratic
precedent.
Will \ Morriss To carve out the
Twelfth Congressional District, as has
been purposed is, i'1 my opinion, absurd.
It will not do I notice that Bandera and
Kerr bounties aie to bo eliminated from
the new district T never could be in
favor of such elimination as those coun-
ties naturally belong in the congressional
district with Bexar County.
OODEN CENSURES IT.
Charles W. Ogden 1 have always been
oppo'-ed 1 o shoestring districts. The law
requires them to bo compact and in ex-
press terms says thev shall be made up
of contiguous territory I think the pro-
posed Twelfth Congressional District, is
wrong and not ill compliance with the
spirit of the law, which contemplates that
people of common Interests should have
someone to r< present them In Congress
who undei stands those Interests, to the
end that <<»nfliet of interests be avoided.
.( I! Kirk pa trick I think the bill as
outlined is a mistake. It looks liko a
piece of gerrymandering that is bad
principle. The representation of this
State should not be cut up 10 further
the ambition of any man. Tt Is unwise
Counties whose general interests are sim-
ilar should be grouped Tx;t the interests
of the people come first and those of
would be Congressmen be secondary.

With the district running to Galveston
there will be a scramble for the nomi-
nation to Congress as each county has
men big enough to go to Washington and
represent the district ably. George Bur-
gess the present member from Gonzales
County, is well and favorably known
here and this county not having a can-
didate would In all probability support
him strongly As the district Is formed
It is quite sure that IT will take a very
Strom: man to defeat the native son of

is expressed at the formation of the

Pnlly l'xpress Austin Btirfnu.
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb. 16.—It Is told
about Austin the resolution offered in
the Senate yesterday to Invite Governor
Judson Harmon of Ohio to address the
Legislature of Texas, and hailing him as
the man "to whom tho hosts of the Na-
tional militant Democracy are looking
for leadership." etc., waa "inspired" by
Harmon boomers. If it. was, more inspi-
ration Is needed. For tho resolution, in-
troduced by Senator Meachum, ran afoul
of more snags today than even (he men
opposed to the nomination of Mr. Harmon
had anticipated.
ENDORSEMENT CUT OUT.
The House, after postponing considera-
tion of the resolution this morning, took
up the matter again this afternoon and
jerked it about in a very unfriendly man-
ner. Under the leadership of Mr. Tarver
and others the words quoted above were
unceremoniously ejected
The matter camo back to tho Senate
in it.s mutilated shape this afternoon and
the reception it was greeted with on its
reappearance Indicated if the thing was
to bo done over again there might be
changes offered by the members of that
body.
"I'm for Wood row Wilson
to* Bryan.
"Me, too," echoed probably a dozen of
his colleagues.
"They cannot run any Harmon over
me," 8aid another.
"Woodrow Wilson will not miss a dele-
gate between tho Potomac and the Rio
Grande, and it is a poor ( lass <«f a South-
ern Democrat who will vote against him,"
said another.
The upshot of the whole thing is, it
goes to a free conference committee, the
trouble in getting which is detailed else-
where. There may be another upshot.
HARMON MAY REFUSE TO COME.
As intimated by Governor Harmon's
cousin, Representative Harmon of Dal-
las. the Buckeye executive may got angrv
and refuse to come at all. II Is known
he rathe*- expected to be invited, but the
proceedings today are not at all to the
liking of his friends.
Men who will stand behind Wilson to
the finish fay the Texas covey of forty
delegates will not stand for "flushing"
this early in the season, and that when
timey do get on wing they will fly into
the camp of the Governor of New jersey.
Governor Colquitt heard with murh in-
terest of what the House did to the
Harmon Invitation. The whole State i.-i
expected to be talking about 1i soon.
WILSON'S FRIENDS ACTIVE.
As foretold in The Express of today,
Texas Democrats who want Governor
Woodrow Wilson of New Jersey to be-
come the standard bearer of the party in
1MU for tho Presidency of the United
.States were not long inactive after t he>
introduction of the resolution by Senator
Meachum yesterday Inviting Governor
Harmon of Ohio f-> address the legisla-
ture. Shortly aftfcr the assembling of
tho Senate today, Senator Robert IWar
ren of Terrell prepared and sent up to
tho secretary's desk n joint aud concur-
rent resolution praising Governor Wilson
as a brilliant son of the South and ask-
ing him to come to Austin and talk to
members of the lawmaking body.
A thrill of enthusiasm went through
the Senate as the resolution was read,
and -twenty-one other Senators beside
Senator Warren asked leave to sign it.
Of course, it went through without a dis-
sent.
The Harmon "boosters," who believed
they were making hay while the sun
shone yesterday seemed a little cha-
grined, but they did not make any pro-
test.
TEXT OF THE RESOLUTION.
The Wilson resolution follows:
"Resolved by the Senate, the House of
Representatives concurring, That Wood-
row Wilson of New Jersey, a worthy and
brilliant son of the South, recently ele-
vated to the executive office of his State,
and one of the greatest Democrats in
the Nation, upon whom millions of Dem-
ocrats are depending for National leader-
ship, be invited to address the legisla-
ture In Joint session at such time during
the present session as may be convenient
to him.
"That a copy of the resolution, signed
by the officers of the Senate and House,
respectively, be telegraphed to Governor
Wilson f<*r his consideration."
"13" FATAL TO HARMON?
Those friends of Governor Harmon who
have any superstitions about thirteen feel
Justified in believing the fact that the
resolution asking the Governor of the
Buckeyes to come to Austin Is numbered
13, bad something to do with tho rocks
it ran into in tii»> House this morning.
When the resolution was called up in the
lower branch. Representative Tarver and
others wanted tlmo to consider it. They
detected a sting in its verbiage and ap
peared to think it would have the ten-
dency to commit, the Legislature to the
candidacy of Mr Harmon. Friends of
Mr. Harmon, like his cousin, Representa-
tive George A. Harmon of Dallas, wore
afraid to press the matter, and considera-
tion went over till Friday.
The Wilson resolution and one by Sen-
ator McNealus Inviting Governor Mar-
shall of Indiana, will have reached the
House by thst time, and the chances are
all will be considered within a few min-
utes
WILSON ROUNDING INTO STRETCH.
The fact that Governor Wilson, as Sen-
ator Warren brings out. is a son of Vir-
ginia and was nurtured in that ancient
"Mother of presidents," Is having much
to do with the fact many Texans are
turning to him ss the one fittest to load
the National Democracy on the march to
the White House.
The Harmon boomlet got an early start
In Texas, but the New Jersey executive.
If Austin furnishes a guide for conditions
over the State. Is rounding into the
stretch with the promise of fairly dis-
tancing all competitors for the forty votes
to which Texas will be entitled in the Na-
tion U convention
Mr Wilson s distinguished career as
an educator of international reputation
and his fearless course as Governor of
New Jerse\. are helping to win Southern
votes it Is freely predicted here every
delegate fr -m Dixie Land will be a Wil-
son supporter on th« final roll call In the
convention that will name a candidate
against President Taft

GOVERNOR EXPECTS TO SAVE
STATE $10,000 ON THAT
ITEM ALONE
Dally Express Austin Bureau.
AUSTIN, Tex., Feb 16. -Governor Col-
quitt holds the opinion the State is an-
nually "bamboozled" of thousands of dol-
lars on its printing contracts. Being an
ex-printer and newspaper man himself, he
has been paying special attention to print-
ing bills and is resolved to pay more.
The word "bamboozled" is not to be
taken and the Governor does not mean it
to be taken offensively. He simply means
the State has been paying and Is payiug
entirely too much for its printing.
He has told State Expert Printer Thomas
N. Napier and Chairmau Jeff Cox of the
House Appropriations Committee ho ex-
pects to save the State during his two years
term more than $10,000 above his salary
on its printing contracts alone.
The Governor feels it is incumbent on
every State official to try and save every
cent to the Commonwealth he can. 1 It-
feels this policy is not only right but, in
~\iexv of conditions, absolutely imperative.

Gentlemen:—
It gives me pleasure to state to
you that after making a careful investi-
gation of San Antonio property and
suburbs from an investment point of
view, I decided that "Los Angeles
Heights," with its beautiful, high lo-
cation and restricted residence district
was the place for me to Invest. Conse-
quently, today I have purchased three
1o18 in this addition and can cheerfully
recommend this property to anybody,
either for an investment or for a home.
Yours truly,
J. H. LAWSHEE,
