Campaign for R. R. Williams.
Cumby,' Tex., .June 14.—A
mass meeting of the citizens of
Cumby and surrounding country
was held here last night in the
interest of the andidacy of Hon.
R, R. Winlams forGvernor.
A Williams club was organized,
A. H. Berry was chosen chair-
man and Levi l, Mercer secre-
tary.
Enthusiastic speeches were
made by Judge W. P. Leechof
Sulphur Springs, L. I. Merger
and J. G. Rainey of this place
and others. -
Various committees were ap- •
pointed for the purpose of doing
all in their power to further his
interests, . and the following
statement was issued to the vot-
ers of the State:
“We assure the voteks of Tex-
as that the Hon.R. R. -Williams
entered the race fc r Governor
on his own motion, and that he
is the candidate of no ring or
corporation of any kind, and
that the suggestion made by
certain papers that he was
brought into the race by the
American Book Company is
false in every particular.”
From all sections of the State
he is receiving assurance of sup-
port, which come from all the
different factions in the Demo-
crat ic party,' Bailey peoples and
those who were anti-Bailey po- e-
pie, Prohibitionists and anti-
Prohibitionists'. \
Mr. Williams is not financially
able to make a canvass of the
State and will make his cam-
paign from is-fice here in
