THE RESOLUTION.
"It Is th sen of thi convention that

No sooner had Convention Chairman C.
w. Ogden. elected this morning read
the resolution than the flarca varhal waw
fare was launched between a delegation
from Bexar county and Lyon and hi
adherent. For over forty-five minutes
the convention was the scene of the
wuaesi disorder wniie arguments pro
and con amendments and evidence were
onerea oy uie warring factions.
Captain J.-H. Elgin of the Bexar ooun
ty delegation Jumped to the floor and
directed heated arsmmente aaalnat Chair
man Lyon's methods and th proposed
reamuuuo.
Lyon Jumped to hi feet and obtained
permission from the chair to answer his
opponents.
"You have elected roe to my present
position for several consecutive vaara"
he said In part 'and you never heard of
me cutting off any heads' without rea-
son. I am for any man working for the
good of the party" he shouted "and If
you ever hear oi me failing- to support
the party telegraph me about it and I
will resign on the soot." .
Five minute more of confusion and.
Lyon created a small slsed sensation by
offering. to show evidence where- Elgin
refused to impart name of the Bexar
county executive oomfiltte. ' His dffer
was aorlmonlously challenged and two
newspaper men covering the convention
for the San Antonio Express took the
floor.
While Elgin endeavored to make him-
self heard with a great amount of un-
complimentary talk directed at the news-
paper men. Chairman Ogden pounded the
table continually with the gavel and
called for order.
When the resolution waa. finally voted
upon by a standing vote only Elgin and
two other men voted adversely ' while
the entire convention stood up In favor
of the measure.
A resolution indorsing Lyon's leadership
of the party In Texas and his re-election
also carried without a dissenting
vote and Lyon arose to address the sud-
lence.
He declared that he Wonld continue to
do in- the future as he had done In the
past and . declared emphatically that if
there are any heads that needed decapi
tating ne wouia auo see to tna .

every Individual voter will think and act
for himself and not at th dictation of
any man or set of men the Important
questions before us will be solved so as
to promote the best Interests and aid In
the development of the limitless re-
sources of the- State. We commend and
share in the aooarently universal resolve
to treat these vital Issues as business
propositions and as such to give tnem
the hast the moat unselfish unprejudiced.
unbiased and nonpartisan thought of
Which falt-mlnded and' Da trio t to cltlsens

vrew than to 'promote the genera welfare
we tender to the people of Texas the aid
of the republican party Its organisation
and its membership throughout the State
in working out the problems which con-
front and affect us all alike. To this end
we propound for the consideration of our
fellow cltlsens oi Texas tne louowiog
declaration of principles:
DECLARATION OF PRINCIPLES.
We favor again the adoption of such
State policies aa will be recognised as
a n ..iMt and sincere Invitation to caol-
tal to seekwlthln our borders all forms
of Investment and will be accepted as a
guarantee of - proteotlog and .fair treat

- we. therefore asain condemn aa un
wise and too radical (1) the Robertson in.
auranca law. cz) the law enforcing a tax
inn the sToaa revenues of oomo rations
and Individuals havlns their caDltal in
vested in publio service enterprises tne
encouragement and Multiplication of

laws Imposing taxes on the so-called in-
tangible assets of such corporations; (4)
the laws imposing dlsoouraglngly exces-

as quasi-public; $) the laws imposing al-
most prohibitory restriction upon the
formation or increase of th capitalisation
of private corporations a vast number
of which the history of all successful de-
velopment nks taught us is needed to
carry on such languishing and legitimate
enterprises as Individuals are unable and
unwilling to undertake; ( we favor tn

- we ravor icver ana neuer laws on an

. we asain condemn -me run rendition
law and th methods pursued by th
Stat administration in enrorcing same
and demand It repeal or amendment
since the condemnation of this law by
th republican convention In 1908 it has
been abundantly proven by its operation
and enforcement to oe a vicious enact-
ment which has increased th assessed
' values of certain classes of property with-
out fulfilling th promised reduction In
tax burdens.
W unsparingly condemn an nasty snd

Bone Eajuon Arrested on a Serious
Charge After fieing Cornered
. s' byBloodhound.
Rons Ran son was arrested yesterday by
Detective 'Jones on a charge of alleged
attempted criminal assault after a wild
chase covering two suent're miles lis
which almost 100 persons Joined.
Ranson is accused of making advances
to . 11-year-old Mildred Barrett In th
horns of her sister at 2818 Houston ave-
nue A complaint was sworn out agalDSt him
and given to Detective Jones lor service.
He located Ranson an nour later in a

Ranson ran out of the house when be
saw the detective and although shot at
by Officers snd bitten by dogs hs re-
fused to surrender until cornered in a
corn field outside the city limit.
As Hanson ran out of the house in
which he was found two dogs grabbe-l
him. He shook them off and made a dash
for the back fence where he was caught-
by Jones. Before the officer could get
a firm hold on him he broke loos and
for a time It looked a though hs would
get away.
Jones noticed that Instead of running
straight away he seemed to be trying to
circle back to the starting point. ' '
' Determined that he should hot ac-
complish his ' purpose Jones started to
call to every one he saw at th same
time shooting at the flying fugitive and
calling to him to halt. .
The racket caused by the chase groused
the neighborhood and everyone within
reach of the plac Joined the ever In-
creasing crowd most pf themiarmd with
shotgun and rifles. - -..
He was finally cornered In a corn field
by a bloodhound belonging to one of tlv 1
Jurauers and was taken to the station in

Moreover he has plenty of stage prop-
erty with which to play to the galleries
or to anybody else who wilt but look. He
Is the one who is uncovering the "Jack
pots' the being those sum of money
raised by Interests which have been want-

He hs brought out testimony before th
grand Jury that It waa th speaker of the
nous of representatives who told the
representative of th - theatrical people
that It would cost them 160O0 to get a
bill passed modifying th ehild labor law
so that children may act on th Stage.
Numerous charges against legislators and
their bribers are to be presented within
a short time. :.. ... i.
Now Mr. Burke la a democrat At
first the larg Chicago papers did sot par
much 'attention to him and his present-
ments before th grand Jury Besides
being a democrat he -had th. misfortune
to be a resident of Springfield and as
official there Instead of In Chicago. Henoe
h did hot amount to much' th Chicago
papers thought Bat the ' testimony he
soon brought out was of such a charao-
ter that notice had to be taken of him.
It was not that' ths (acts brought out
were so astounding to ths papers or to
ethers who were In position to know-
not th facts you understand but.th
revelation ef the facts' that made Mr.
Burke and his proceeding so important.
People are quit used to the graft and
corruption but they are not used to tht
flagrant revelation of them. Th same
sort of corruption It 1s admitted hae
been going an In Illinois for e quarter of
a century or more and for at least a
goodly portion of the time the newspapers
have known It All of a sudden tbey de-
cided to print something about lt They
seemed to want to have.the whole show
up here In Chicago and slnoe they are
all republican papers with little disposi-
tion to let people know that there are
any democrats (n this part of ths world
except of course the one like those whk
voted for Lorlmer they paid little atten-
tion to Burke down In Springfield until
It developed that he waa really pulling
off a show altogether too big to b ig-
nored or belittled. Bo now the Chicago
papers are playing up Burke' big snd the
Impression Is getting abroad that the
quiet modest young man Is the biggest
figure tn the anti-corruption crusade He
Is the first man who has gotten after th
corrupt republicans. The men who. ar
under accusation for ' taking Lorlmer
brib money er democrat. ( .-.
About th first man I talked politic
with In Illinois remarked; "As Henry
Wstterson says I have more respect for
those men who got paid for toting for"
Lorlmer than for the fat-beads . who
thought It their duty to vote fog him."
That man declared he was a republican
too. Of course the bulk of the votes by
which Ixrlmer was elected to the Senate
were republican. They did not. have
enough fools snd natural-born knaves to
elect him so they had to buy a few
more; that wss the whole situation. But
It Is th democrat that are being chased
and denounced and strange a It may
seem the republicans are trying to make
political capital out of the Incident. It
Is exactly the way it waa during the tar-
iff session of congress when one of the
most remarkable turns Imaginable was
?:lven to things: the democrats who voted
or duties on certain articles were de
nounced In the most unmeasured terms
by the republican newspapers for the
purpose of making political capital for
the republicans who voted for even higher
duties and who have' always- voted for
protection. And more - than that the
whole democratic party was denounced
because a few of the democrats were
found to be as bad aa each and everv one
f-ot the republicans in congress and out
or tnis ss remarkable as it may seem
capital waa made for the republican
party. Verily the' American political
mind moves in a mysterious way Its won-
ders to perform.
The democrats of Illinois ere not how'
ever to be considered any better than
the republicans; that Is you understand
the politicians of one party seem to be
about OS bad as' those of another. The.
truth is that aa a 'rule the democratlo
minority In the legislature Is merely the
tall pf the republican dog. There are
