floor fight over the klan plank, La-
Follette presented his convention with
a platform that took no cognizance
of the klan or religion. He stressed
economic ills and remedies.
In this, his first open statement
on the issue. La Follette quotes Abra-
ham Lincoln and Thomas Jefferson
to support his stand. He recalls a
letter written by Lincoln in 1866* in
which the Civil War president declar-
ed that certain forces at that time
were, apparently attempting tc
change the constitution so it reads
“all men are created equal except
negroes and foreigners and Cath-
olics.”
Jefferson, tjie man who wrote the
nation’s constitution, is quoted by
LaFollette as saying in 1803 that “I
■ever will by word or aet bow to the
shrine of intolerance or admit a right
of inquiry into the religious opinions
of others.”

COUPLE ARRESTED

Houston, Aug. 8.-—(Associated
PressJ-r-A man and a woman are
under arrest ,at San. Autonio on a
charge of murder in connection with
the death <rf R..0. Wilson, traveling
salesman, whose body was found
Wednesday, it was announced today
at the sheriff’s office. The war-
rants are made out for Robert Carlos
of Kansas City and. his :>rife, Mrs,
Elitabeth Carfoei formerly of IfiUai
boro, it was Stated.
Carlo* and his wife professed to
be greatly surprised at the arrest.
Sheriff . Binford of Houston stated
over the telephone today, and both de-
nied any knowledge of the death of
Wilson.
Mr*. Carlos told the sheriff and
chief of- detective at San Antonio
that she had never been the wife of
Wilson but admitted she had lived
with him as his wife for six yean
and that he was the father of’four
of her children.
That many of the influential busi-
ness men and property owner* of
Gainesville favor adoption, of the pro-
posed amendment to the paving law,
to be voted on by the citizens here at
a special election next Tuesday, is
learned from expressions in street
conversations and from personal in-
terviews. The opinion of what
seems a majority, is that the prog-
ress of the city depends to great ex-
tent on lifting the present limitations
and allowing paving campaigns of
some consequence t« be initiated and
carried to successful conclusion.
A favorable vote next Tuesday
will authorize adoption of the pav-
ing law as prepared by the legisla-
ture of Texas and now used by many
cities in the state. Briefly, it give*
the ‘city added power only in case*
where property is not used as a home-
stead by those who own it. i
In other; words, the law has no ef-
fect on a person’s homestead unless
the owner of the homestead willing-
ly signs a contract to pave in front
of that particular property. - The
city cannot of its own accord pave
in front of a persons homestead and
force collection of the debt.

broke out here Thursday at a mass
meeting of Mrs. Miriam Ferguson's-

said to be kleagle of the local Ku

said to be a member of the klan, at-
tempted to make* speeches in favbr of
Felix Robertson of Dallas, klan can-
didate for governor.
Mr*. Hortense Ward, chairman of

son intcrei^ited and attempted to re-
fute statements made by Mrs. Ward
about Robertson'* prohibition record
Mr*. Ward asked Mias Wilson to
leave the hall and Mr*. Nations took
up the cudgel*, in her defense.
For a moment the hall was in wild
confusion. Shrill voices, screaming
“he was, "he wasn’t,” “my husband
f*ay*—“I know- better.” caused sev-
eral men to leave, among them Mrs.
Nations’ husband. 3)trs. Ward insist-

That hi* company will contract to
toy this paving >t a rate of about $2
pci- front foot and extend the pay- the family here to be ended with the
ments therefor over a period of five N
years. A sample of the paving ma-
terial is on display at the Chamber of
Commerce and property owners are
urged to go there and inspect same.
Property owners on East California
street, with a half dozen exception*,
have already signed with thi* com-
pany tn have the street paved. The
work will be done entirely by local
labor as far as pracicable, it is
stated. -
Through demonstration* made by
the paving company, it i* easily seen
that repair* can be made after boles
have been cut for gas, water or
sewer connections, by replacing the
material dug out and tamping same.
The material make* * perfect cold
union, and requires no equipment for
repairing streets other than a I
