DEMOCRATS MEET
Dallad, Tex., March 7. The
"constructive" Democrats m a
"convention to bo held at Fort
Worth on April 14 will formally
select a candidate for Governor
to oppose Colonel Thomas H. Ball
The next convention will be com
posed of delegates selected by
county conventions to bo held
Monday, April 6. Delegates to
the county conventions will como
from precinct conventions to be
held throughout Texas Saturday,
April 4. In these county and pre-
cinct conventions candidates of-
fering themselves for selection
may be indorsed, uninstructed del
egatesmay be sent to Fort Worth
or the conventions may indorse
those who have not offered tnem-
selves as candidates
During a meeting of the reso
lutions committee today the states
ment was voiced by Clarence
Ousley and one or two others
that it was doubted that any of
the present candidates can win
the race. This may mean that
some others may get into the
race, that there may be some
' "unannounced" candidates or
that an indorsement may be
given to someone not before !the1
convention at all, as was done in
the case of Thomas H. Ball.
Whereas, A convention of so-
called prohibition progressive
democrats made up all parsons
and factions who favor National
and Statewide prohibition, as the
sole test of ones eligibility to
participate, meet at Fort Worth.
February 21, 1914, and who
while excluding all democrats of
Texas from participation in said
convention, regardless of their
long and faithful service in up
holding the basic principles of
democracy at times when it cost
something to be a democrat and
ng nmny
prohibition convention who have
for many veara been active sup-
porters of different political
parties which havo been a con-
stant warfare with the democratic
party for years, have named
Colonel T. H. Ball as their candi
date whom they propose to im
pose on the democratic people of
Texas who were excluded from
their so-called prohibition pro-
gressive convention, as the candi
date of the democrats at the
democratic primary to be held in
July 1914. Now therefore, it
has become necessary for the
democrats of Texas, regardless
of their views on the prohibition
question to meet and select a
candidate of the true democracy
of the State to oppose the imposi-
tion the said prohibition candi-
date, Colonel Thos. H. Ball, Now
therefore.
Bo it resolved, that the chair
man of this mass meeting do
annoint a committee of 31 demo
crats, one from each Senatorial
district, to call upon the demo-
crats of Texas to meet in pre-
cinct mass meetings in their res-
pective voting precincts and at
their usual voting places at 3:00

vene at the respective county

pose of selecting a democratic
