HEARST MEN
VANQUISHED
Dallas County Democrats Refused
to Instruct Delegation.
COMBINATION MADE
Parker Men Effected Deal with Dele-
gates Opposed to instructions and
Progiam was Carried Out.
The uninstructed delegates in the
county Democratic convention, held
for the purpose of electing eighteen
delegates to the state convention at
San Antonio June 21, won a signal vic-
tory yesterday afternoon and the Par-
ker supporters deserve part of the
credit. The result of nearly a day's
debate was that an uninstructed dele-
gation be sent to the Alamo City. The
list of delegates follows:
N. W. Finley, Dr. Willard Fisk, M.
M- Crane, J. T. Jones, S. E. Moss, K.
K. Foree, Henry Marti, J. T Mewshaw,
W. W. Nelms, F. G. Wilson, W. T.
Strange, E. G. Senter, J. C. Kugle, W.
H. Clark, Edward Gray, M. T. L<ively,
Ben E- Cabell and C. A. Rasbury. The
convention ordered that the unit rule
be observed.
The Hearst men were numerous In
the convention and their enthusiasm
was of the genuine Democratic brand,
but the crowd that favored an un-
instructed delegation simply snowed
them under when the Parker men
flocked to their support.
The friends of the New York judge
had figured on swinging the unin-
structed delegates, who held the bal-
ance of power, to their man, but when
they found this party had a will of its
own they lost 110 time in getting in-
to the band wagon.
The Hearst and Faker adherents had
about an even break on the delega-
tion with the neutrals In the majority.
After the election of J. T. Mewshaw
of Garland aa chairman at the morn-
session, which was published in Sat-
urday afternoon's Times Herald, the
convention adjourned until 2:30 o'clock.
When the afternoon session was called
to order General M. M. Crane's reso-
lution to appoint two committees of
five each on credentials and organiza-
tion, was adopted.
The chairman made th« following
appointments: Committee on Creden-
tial*—Kenneth Force, R. E. L. Sauer,
J. K. P. Jordan, G . W- Newman and
!W. T. Lavender. Committee on Organ-
isation—M. M. Crane, W. C. Holland,
Thomas McCullum, Dr. Parks and Jas.
Lyons.
The committee on credentials retired
to the council chamber on the second
floor of the city hall and the conven-
tion was temporarily adjourned.
The committee on credentials held a
stormy session for an hour or more to
settle the contests from the First and
Second: wards. The Parker, or "regu-
lar" delegation was recognized with-
out much debate, but the Hearst men
from the Second ward made a strong
fight under the leadership of C. H.
forced to leave without funds or a
headed by Colonel J. T. Trezevant. The
majority of the committee recommend-
ed that the Trezevant delegation be
seated, but R. E. L. Saner presented a
minority report, recommending that
the delegation be divided between both
factions, as, in his opinion, neither side
had adhered strictly to the tenents
of the Terrell election law.
The minority report was tabled by
the convention by a vote of 177 to 140
and the majority report was adopted.
Just before the committee made Its
report, E. G. Senter presented a reso-
lution, which was seconded by Hugh
Fitzgerald. The resolution follows:
We, the Democrats of Dallas county.
In convention assembled, affirm our al-
legiance to the principles of the Dem-
ocratic national platform of 1896 and
1900, and declare that both principle
and expedlencey call for the nomina-
tion of a Democratic candidate for the
presidency who has been and is in
sympathy with the contest waged by
the party in the last two national
campaigns.
We declare that official corruption,
the debauchery of political affairs and
of public servants by special inter-
ests. the reckless usurpation and abuse
of power by the Republican national
edministration and the autocratic
domination of the industrial world by
trusts and monopolies, present kindred
Suffering
Will Not Help Your
Disease, but Will
Weaken Your
Nerves.
Polks who think It is better to
pain than soothe It—are wrong.
Old-fashioned doctors used to say It
was better, because they had nothing
with which to esse pain but dangerous,
heart-paralyzing drugs.
But now, that a safe remedy has
been found, Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain PUls,
it Is wrong to suffer, for nothing can be
gained but weakened nerves.
A safe rule to remember Is: When
in pain, take an Anti-Pain P1U.
This will soothe your quivering nervssi
Dr. Miles' Anti-Pain Pills relieve pain
by restoring the natural secretions, in
which they differ from opium and sim-
ilar narcotic drugs, which relieve pain
by checking the action of the glands.
They are sure and harmless, and are
the latest medical treatment for the
cure of Headache, Neuralgia, Backache,
Rheumatism, Dizziness, Toothache,
Stomachache. Menstrual (Monthly)
Pains. Also nerve irritations like Sea-
Sickness, Car-Sickness, Sleeplessness
Indigestion, etc.
Pleasant to take, quick in results,
have used Dr. Miles' Antl-Psln
Pills for sick, nervons headache, snd
have received the best results. I hear-
tily recommend their curative proper -

issues of paramount Important* upon
which all patriotic citiaana should units
under the standard of democracy in
the coming national campaign.
We declare that the silence of Judge
Alton B. Parker on public issues, while
he has been a recognised candidate for
the presidency upon a platform mean-
ingless except In its declaration for tbe
undemocratic doctrine of free raw ma-
terial, which would Increase the boun-
ties of protection at the expense of
the agricultural and other producing
interests and in its opposition to feder-
al legislation against the trusts, to-
gether with his close identification
with the captains of the great trust
interests and with the leaders of the
opposition to Democracy in the last
two national campaigns, make him in-
eligible for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency.
The delegates chosen from this con-
vention to the Democratic state con-
vention at San Antonio are hereby in-
structed to vote and work for the elec-
tion of delegates to the Democratic na-
tional convention who will heartily and
zealously act in accordance with this
platform and seek to give it effect in
the national convention at St- Louis,
July 6, 1904, and to vole as a unit upon
all matters which may come before the
state convention at San Antonio.
Farmer Shaw questioned the proprie-
ty of presenting the resolution before
the committee on credentials had re-
ported and Mr. Senter stated that he
would merely submit it for discussion.
Mr. Senter said that the Parker men
proposed to send the news throughout
the country that Dallas county was In
the Purker column after the convention
and he did not believe that the major-
ity of the delegates favored the New
York judge. He made a strong speech
denouncing Parker's silence and was
warmly cheered by the Hearst men.
Gen. M. M. Crane was recognized by
the chair and spoke against the reso-
lution, stating that his ward (the
Eighth) had instructed its delegation
to vote for an uninstructed delegation
to San Antonio. He pointed out that
the resolution, if adopted, would be an
instruction to the delegation and his
ward could not consistently vote for it.
He said that he was not for Parker
and he thought a stronger man could be
found to lead the Democracy.
At this juncture the question was
asked the speaker if he would support
the resolution if it read to oppose
Hearst, too. General Crane answered
In the affirmative and the crowd yelled.
The confusion reigned for several min-
utes and the chairman broke his cane
in an effort to rap the delegates to
order.
General Crane objected to parts of
the resolution concerning Parker's pol-
icy as he did not know the charges
made against him were true and the
resolution was altered in so many dif-
ferent ways that he had no sem-
blance to the original manuscript when
the Job was finished.
Several motions were made in regard
to the changing of the resolution but
they were lost In the confusion. .
The resolution was dropped wh<n the
committee on credentials announced
ready to report and was not taken up
again. C. F. Cohron made a short
speech for the Hearst men in the Sec-
ond ward and J. T. Trezevant defend-
ed the Parker delegation. The Parker
men were seated as was stated above.
The committee on delegates then
announced ready to report and Chair-
man C. A. Rasbury read the report.
The recommendations were:
"We recommend first, that no prox-
ies be allowed; second, that this dele-
gation vote as a unit on all questions;
to vote and work for an uninstructed
to vot. and work for an uninstructed
delegation from the San Antonio con-
vention to the St Louis convention."
Farmer Shaw, a Hearst supporter,
offered another list of delegates and
moved that it be substituted for the
committee's list. His motion was voted
down by a roll call vote of 197 to 137.
The committee's report came up for
adoption and the ayes were much loud-
er than the noes of the Hearst men.
Chairman Mewshaw declared the repo: t
adopted. He was Immediately sur-
rounded by a crowd of eager delegates,
all wishing to speak at once when M.
T. Lively shouted, "I move we ad-
journ." The motion received a hun-
dred seconds and the convention was
declared adjourned.
The members of the party against
instructions gave one final yell and
rushed for the door.
Hearst men claimed last night that
the "third party" made a proposition
several days ago to send an uninstruct-
ed delegation to San Antonio and the
offer was turned down. They claim
that a majority of the delegation favor
McClellari for president, who would he
much preferable to them than Pa'k-r.
The Hearstltes held a caucus yester-
day morning to arrange a slate hut
they had no opportunity of carrying
out their plans.
SOLO OUT FOR A MESS OF POT-
TAGE.
The Democratic County convention
being held in this city todav for the
purpose of eleetine delegates to the
State convention, which convenes at
San Antonio on June 21. started off in a
lively manner. Every precinct in the
county Is represented, with the excep-
tion of twelve of the smaller ones.
Invocation was offered by Rev. Geo.
C. Rankin, and the meeting was called
to order at 11 o'clock by C. A. Rasbury,
countv chairman, who. prior to doing
so. armed himself with a big broom-
stick. which served the purpose of
the regular parliamentary gavel. From
the very outset the convention con-
tinued to wax warmer each minute,
and up to the time of adjournment of
the first session at 1:14 o'clock, mat-
ters had almost reached a white heat,
and the eyes of the 500 men were
gleaming with excitement, their hair
moist with perspiration and there were
other indications of Intense earnestness
on the part of the participants. Cra-
vats ar.d neckties worked their way
from the front to side, and back of
collars which yielding to the abund-
ance of perspiration, were soon trans-
figured from stiff, glossy pieces of lin-
en to limp rags. The big "tick which
the chairman used as a gavel was beat-
en Into splinters over the top of the
de k from his strenuous attempts to
maintain order.
Chairman Rasbury called the meet-
ing to order, and congratulated the
convention upon the Intelligent and
excellent attendance present. He
stated that the object of the meeting
was for the p-.irpose of organizing the
banner county of tbe State of Texas,
and expressed himself as hoping that
harmony would prevail throughout the
efitlre meeting, and the movement be-
ing inaugutated by Democrats would
result In the defeat of -the gisaatest ene-
my to personal liberty and rights of
the American citizen known to tnls
country; Theodore Roosevelt. (Ap-
plause nnd cheers.) He hoped that all
different s and dissensions would be
amicably adjusted and that the Democ-
racy of the country would succeed In
nominating a man who with the unlte'd
efforts of the forces of that faction
prevailing throughout the United
States would eternally and everlasting-
ly settl* the fate of the Republi an
party. He then announced that the
roll call and election of temporary of-
ficers to prcsids over the meeting was
In order.
County Secretary J. C. McNealus was
instructed to call tbe roll, which de-
veloped the fact that forty-nine of the
sixty-one precincts of the county were
present
Judge N. W. Finley then placed in
nomination for chairman J. W. Mew-
shaw of Garland, whom he referred
to us a tried and true Democrat, at all
times loyal to the cause and the prin-
cipals of Democracy. Judge Finley
stated that he personally did not stand
as a partisan or advocate of either of
the candidates now before the Ameri-
can people as the Democratic selection
for president of the United States. He
did not believe that the Democracy of
the country would select either as the
standard bearer of the party at the
St. Louis convention. He believed that
a delegation of tried and true Demo-
crats should be sent to the St. Louis
convention unhampered and untied by
instructions for either of the proposed
candidates.
Judge Finley's nomination was sec-
onded by Judge Edward Gray.
W. A. Shaw was then given the
floor, and made a strong nomination
speech for E. G. Senter of the Ninth
ward. He stated that his action was
prompted for the purpose of heading
off a proposed combination of the Par-
ker men and those who claimed to be
"on the fence," but who were in reality
for sending an instructed Parker dele-
gation to the state convention, and also
to St. Louis. He stated that 110 strong-
er proof of this alleged coalition w is
needed than the fact that the "uniu-
structed" and the Parkerites wanted
the same chairman. Mr. Shaw's nomi-
nation of E. G. Senter was seconded by
M. A. Humphreys of Orphans Home.
M. M. Crane then arose and stated
that while it had not been his inten-
tion when he came to the meeting to
take any active part, he did not feel
that he could conscientiously sit by
nnd maintain silence after hearing the
remarks of Mr. Shaw. He did not be-
lieve that either Hearst or Parker
could win, and that some strong Demo-
crat like McClellan of New York or
some other good man would have been
a better selection. He stated that the
Eighth ward had sent their delegation
there uninstructed, and he believed it
his duty to vote that way, and for the
nomination of Mr. Mewshaw as chair-
man.
C. F. Cohron then made a talk In be-
half of the nomination of E. G. Senter,
in which he read a lengthy poetical - f-
fusion on the chances and possibilities
of Parker's race.
Other short speeches were made ad-
vocating Mr. Senter's nomination,
among them being that of Secretary
J. C. McNealus. Order was Anally re-
stored. and the chairman instructed
that the roll be culled.
At this Juncture the point was raisei
as to the right of the delegates from
the First and Second wards to partic-
ipate in the election of the chairman,
those two precincts being contested.
The chair held that they did, and the
secretary stoutly protested their right,
and it was op this question that pande-
monium reigned supreme. C. L. Simp-
son, committeeman from the First
ward, stated that he had had no knowl-
edge of his precinct being contested,
and demanded the names shown. He
was ruled out of order. Judge Flnloy
then stated that he voiced the senti-
ments of the chairman. E. G. Senter
asked to be heard, and begged to differ
with the chair. The chair then stated
his position and views, and H. N. Fitz-
gerald moved that the ruling of the
chair be not sustained. Then it seemed
that every committeeman in the hilt
wanted to speak at the same time. Af-
ter much pounding at the desk the
chairman managed to restore ord"r
once more. The chair stated that li >
had instructed the secretary to call the
roll and that the secretary declined to
do so and Include the contested pre-
cincts, but that he still held the same
views. Secretary McNealus arose and
stated that he felt that he was right,
and would stick to his position.
Judge Finley then suggested that the
chair call the roll, and asserted that he
had never before seen a secretary at-
tempt to run a convention; that it was
his understanding the secretary was
merely for the purpose of acting as
secretary. Considerable discussion
then arose, and the chair finally asked
Committeeman W.' I. Ford from the
Eighth ward delegation to call the roll
Mr. Ford came forward, and then tho
chair announced that he would call the
roll himself. The proposition as to
whether the rilling of the chair relative
to the permitting of the contested pre-
cincts to vote or not was finally put to
a vote, and carried by 184 to 140.
This question being disposed of Hie;
convention voted 011 the election of the
chairman, which resulted in the elec-
tion of J. T. Mewshaw by a vote of
174 to 148. Mr. Mewshaw was escorted
to the rostrum by W. I. Ford, and In-
troduced by Chairman Rasbury. Mr.
Mewshaw thanked those present foe
the honoi conferred upon him, and
stated that in all h,s. experience and
fights as a Democrat his i 1; 1 n1 y in
the cause had never before been ques-
tioned.
At the conclusion of Mr. Mew-iiaw's
talk Judge Kenneth l-'oree nominated
W. I. Ford as temporary secretary.
W. A. Humphreys nominated H. N.
Fitzgerald, and a motion war made
nnd carried to call the roll. H. N.
Fitzgerald Ftated that he was in favor
of Mr. Ford's nomination, and that lie
did not wish Ills name to be considered
as a candidate for secretary, where-
upon Mr. Ford was elected unanimous-
ly.
A motion to adjourn until 2:!ft
o'clock was then adopted.

One of the best known

Texas, Writes:
Kllle«?n, Texas, March 22. ISflS.
Dr. W. J. Thurmond, Dallas, Texas:
Dear Hlr—Mr. It. O. Ilnllum, of Brown-
wood, handed me an envelope addressed
to you. stating that you wanted me to
write to you and let you know If I was
sttil cured of catarrh. I ca..'t remember
what year I took yo r CATARRH CURB,
but It was some 10 or 12 years npo. Be-
fore I got It I wnn almost dead with
catarrh of the head. I had tried every
thing that I could hear of and none of
them did me any good.
I heard of your remedy and decided
to give It a trial. The first two bottlea
I used did me so much good that I kept
on using It till It made a permanent cure.
Doctor, I was almost dead when I began
using your CA'I'A Itnil CURE, but I have
never had any symptoms of It since. I
weigh now 195 pounds and that Is 20 or
30 pounds more than I ever weighed In
my life and It Is all due to the use of
your CATARnH CURR.
f have recommended It all over Texas
and will keep on doing so, for I know It
will cure catarrh, no matter how bad
It may be. Wishing you mueh success,
I am yours truly, B. C. KITCHENS.
