Georgetown, Jan. 22.—D.
W. Wilcox, chairman of the
state Democratic executive
committee, has called a meet-
ing of the committee to convene
at Austin Saturday, Feb. 1.
The meeting was called to 511
a committee vacancy from the
Thirty-first district and to de-
termine what action, if any, the
committee shall take in regard
to placing on the Democratic
primary ticket names of candi-
dates who in 1928 supported
Republican presidential elect-
ors.
"In my opinion," Wilcox
said, "the'state executive com-
mittee has the legal authority
if it sees fit to do so, to refuse
to place on the Democratic pri-
mary ticket the name of any
candidate who participated in
the last primaries or conven-
tions and then in the general
election voted for the Republi-
can presidential electors.
“I do not know what action
the committee will take, but if
the committee should decide
that the names of Senator Love
and others who did not vote for
the Democratic presidential
electors should not be placed
on the ticket, then this action
should be taken early, so that
if any candidate thinks the
committee has exceeded its
authority, he will have plenty
of time to go into court end get
a final decision before the
names are certified.”
Wilcox referred especially
to Senator Tom B. Love of Dal-
las, candidate for the Demo-
cratic nomination for governor,
who was an open “Hoover-
crat” in the last general elec-
tion.
“Until the question ia passed
upon by the supreme court, it
will continue to be the cause of
moch contention and discus-
sion every election year. While
I feel confident that I am cor-
rect in my opinion as to the au-
thority of the committee, I will
be glad to have the court pass
upon the question and settle

CATTLE LOSS IS ~
Orange, Jan. 22.—Cattle
have died by the hundreds
among the numerous herds on
Johnson’s bayou, according to
reports brought here from that
section by ’ passengers on the
tug Eva. Cattle could be seen
in piles of 10 and 12 along the
bayou channel as the boat
came out of the bayou territory
in entering Sabine lake, it was
said.
On account of the fact that it
was reported several parties
v ho had taken the liberty of
skinning dead cattle in order to
salvage the hides had overstep,
ped the limit by killing the al-
most dead animals, a stop was
put to all skinning on the part
of the larger cattle owners, it
was reported here.
It is expected that the losses
will become heavier on the
beach where numerous herds
have grazed through the'win-
ter. The firet cold spell stag-
gered the cattle and the second
one has slaughtered them, it is
declared.
