men say this is about 700 more than
the actual republican vote and that the
result is due to the fact that Grant
Hail, who was the manager of Teller
and conducted his election for secre.
tary of state, was refused representa-
tion at the polls and for that reason
during the afternoon was compelled to
give up the fight. It is charged that
Dawson through the executive com-
mittee controlled the ejection officers.
The Teller faction was managed here
by what is known as the Hall-Fielder
organization, who, realizing the con-
ditions that confronted them, deter-
mined on the desperate expedient of
preventing the holding of an elec tios
in all the precincts where either a
clerk, a commissioner and a challenger
was refused. In pursuance or this
order many men were sent to the poll-
ing places early with instructions to
get representation or stop the entjre
proceedings, but' in only one ward was
this plan successful. It was accom-
plished at the city hall in the Fourth
precinct, where Grant Hall himself was
with a large number of armed men and
sat upon the ballot box. At one time

working for Dawson, attempted to
capture Hall and, men, but after

The ninth great sun council fire of
the great council of Texas, .Improved
Order of Red Men, will be kindled
in the hunting grounds of Galveston,
reservation of Texas, on the tenth sun,
flower moon, G. 8. D. 413, at the tenth
run, rising of the sun, Tuesday, May
10, 1904, at 10 o’clock a. m.
The great council met in Austin last
year and when Galveston succeeded
in securing it for this session, the rep-
resentatives from the ‘Island city
tribes, promised fine entertainment,
and from the very elaborate program
prepared it is very evident they will
make good all their promises.
The order is growing in Texas sub-
stantially and rapidly and the report
this year will show a membership of
about 7200. The tribes are all thrifty
and growing and the great council was
never before under such good guidance
and such excellent working order as it
is at the present time.
Great Sachem Shipman of Austin,
in his address to the tribes, among
other things, says:
"The Red Men of the hunting
grounds of Galveston have for the last
great sun been laboring incessantly to
make this event one of the most at-
tractive in the history of Redmanship
in this reservation; their committees
are well organized and have the sit-
uation well inhand; an elaborate pro-
gram ha# been prepared and a verita-
ble 'carnival' is promised to every vis-
iting Red Man, whether he be a mem-
ber of the great council or not. and
