CRAWFORD TO ATTACK BALLET.
The feature of Colonel Crawford's
speech will .according to Inspired report
consist of a savage attack upon Senator
.Bailey. Some of the plans made to fur-

'Colquitt was cheered enthusiastically
when he arose to speak. Before he had

for an officer to escort a Davidson ad

came obnoxious not only to the city's

He discussed Davidson'. San Angelo

THE DAVID80K PLAN. ' "'
The freely circulated ' announcement
that Colonel Crawford's speech will eon-
slat prlnclpaUy of en attack upon Sen-
ator Bailey arid that It rUl be reohod
In the address to be printed Sunday- next
and that tt will be Immediately taken up
and repeated from every stump In the
State by 160 speakers Is accepted here aa
notice that Davidson intends to fight the
-campaign out on the Bailey issue so-
called. The majority of the anti-Bailey
"generals"- are supporting him and the
antl-Balley Btate organization which haa
never disbanded Is working in bis In-
terests These "generals" have done their best
to get Johnson out ot the way for Da-
vidson's oeneflt going to the extent at
one time of promising him their support
for the United States senate if he would
listen to their earnest prayers. But the
Tyler man was obdurate and now that
the "generals" have been forced to the
conclusion that there Is no chance of
coming to an understanding with him
they have decided to play their last card
and if possible force Senator Bailey to
take a hand In the campaign in the hope
that if the fight of two years ago can be
renewed the antl-Balley element will con-
centrate on Davidson.
WHAT THE "GENERALS" FIOURB ON
Their idea Is that the so-called Bailey
lnsue is more potent than the prohibition
Issue and that If they can prqd Bailey
Into attacking Davidson those who have
fought the senator In the past will at
once rally to Davidson's standard and
leave Johnson high and dry
In this connection It may be stated
that It is suspected that a few Bailey
"generals" who are supporting Polndex-
ter would not be averse to the success of
the plans of the Davidson lealders In this
respect. Their calculation la that If
Bailey Is forced Into the contest he wilt
take up arms for Polndexter and that
with the Bailey Issue to the forefront
Polndexter will become the recognised
Bailey candidate as against Davidson .the
recognized antl-Balley candidate. With
the battle- pitched along such lines these
"generals" figure that Polndexter would
hr.ve the better of it.
There is no need of anyone becoming
alarming over these machinations how-
ever. There are none but "generals"
concerned therein on both sides. The
rank and file Is not taking even a passing
Interest In them and It is the rank and
file that does the work when it cornea to
CAMPAIGN LIES
Were Denounced by CVquItt in
Speech at Colvert.
MET THE USUAL BUNCH
Of Falsehoods in Circulation at That
Point Was Given an Enthusi-
astic Welcome by a Good
Crowd.
BY H. M JOHNSTON.
CALVERT Texas June 28. One of the
greatest receptions ever accorded a can-
didate for gubernatorial honors was that
accorded O. B. Colquitt here this even-
ing. When he arrived from Hearne in
an automobile the main street was
thronged on both sides and as the ma-
chine passed down the street to the hotel
he was lustily cheered- all the way and
the band' plaved and the city boomed
forth its salute to the State's next gov-ernor-
with half a dozen dynamite ex-
plosions.' The candidate was escorted
here by a delegation of citizens of both
Hearne and Calvert Includiug Mayors
Pinkerton of Hearne and Burnett of Cal-
vert. After his arrival he was surrounded
and tonight he was greeted at the pa-
vilion by an audience of probably UJSO
Including many ot the ladles of Calvert.
The candidate was introduced by
Mayor J. K. P. Hanna In a very able
and eloquent speech in which Mr. Col-
quitt was highly complimented for his
efficient public service and for the prin-
ciples tor which he Is fighting In this
campaign.
The candidate was enthusiastically re-
ceived when he entered- the pavilion and
was accorded an ovation when he arose -to
speak.
STATUTES BHOULD BE REPEALED.
I In the beginning he reviewed briefly
some of the policies which he Is advo-
cating. His advocacy of political and
legislative rest .was well received; and
In this connection It can be said without
exaggeration that nowhere In Texas haa
Mr. Colquitt found any opposition to this
policy of hU the whole people of the
State appearing to favor the repeal of
some of the obnoxious legislation already
on the' statute books rather than the
passage of more laws. That there are
some obnoxious laws on the statute books
la even admitted .by Tom Campbell who
haa called a special session of the legis-
lature principally for the purpose of re-
pealing one of them.
In discussing some of the representa-
tions and untruths' which have been cir-
culated against him he mentioned that
since he had arrived here lie Had been
informed that some of the citizens had
been going around- and stating that as
governor he would favor the establish-
ment of a gambling house and a saloon
at every crossroads in the Slate.
Such statement" said he "are In-
famous falsehoods and I challenge an
investigation of the records of the four
candidates for governor for their obe-
dience to law to determine iwhether or
not I have stood for the enforcement of
'the Iaw
'' "l believe that such an Investigation
will show that Johnson. Polndexter and
Davidson have -violated the laws of the
State both morally .and physically more
times than I have. .. .-.
AS TO CAMPAIGN FUNDS.
: "They talk about a .one million dollar
campaign fund whjch they aay has been
raised in "my behalf. " I denounce" this
as another slander and aay that If the
brewery or - saloon Interests have 'con-
tributed slnsle dollar to my. campaign
fund that I am not aware of. It; ; -i

Judge William Polndexter candidate
for the democratic nomination for gov-
ernor arrives in Houston this morning
on an early .train from. San Antonio.
During the day he will receive his friends
and supporters at the Rice hotel and at
8 JO o'clock In the evening yie will de-
liver an address In support ot his can-
didacy at Beach's auditorium.
Following his address he will depart
fot- Beaumont where he speaks tomor-
row. No formal reception Is planned for
Judge Polndexter when he arrives this
nlornlng. The reception at the depot will
be entirely Informal but all friends and
others interested are Invited to meet him
there if they so desire.
He will be escorted directly to the Rice
hotel where he will keep open house dur-
ing the day.
The formal reception committee an-
nounced yesterday by Colonel Thomas H.
Bair. chairman will gather at the Rice
at 8 o'clock tonight to accompany the
candidate to the auditorium. Mr. Ball
said yesterday that he had been unable
to extend a peritonei Invitation to each
member of the committee to be present
but that all members and friends are In-
vited to call upon Mr. Polndexter during
the day as well aa to take part In the
evening ceremonies.
No special vehicles will be provided for
the members of the committee and each
will be expected to make his own ar-
rangements for getting to and from the
auditorium.
Judge Polndexter will be Introduced at
the auditorium by Colonel Ball.
The following were selected as mem-
trusts which Davidson claims that he
prosecuted are contributing to the cam-
paign fund of the Galveston landlord.
Referring to the falsehoods which -have
been spread throughout the State as to
his morality he dismissed as being the
slanders of hirellnirs who. among other
things are being paid to talk prohlbi-
"But I want to confess as a candidate
lor governor that I am courageous
anmiirh tn rnnfpas that I have the same
weaknesses of human nature a Adam I
and all of his children have naa.
In connection with these same misrep-
resentations he thought that Cone John-
son has criticised him in a. decent way.
which Is more than he can say of Poln-
dexter and Davidson. In discussing his
opinion that the constitution Is para-
mount to the party platform when the
latter is in conflict with the former he
said that he had seen where some little
cheap lawyer In this county had Issued
a circular In which he says that- he
'(Colquitt) had bolted the party platform
in lDOfi and 1908 which was gotten up to'
prejudice the uninformed In favor of the
coon hunter and said that It was only a
cheap falsehood. When he charged Da-
vidson with recommending and Indors-
ing Wright Cuney. the negro republican
for inspector of Customs at Galveston
In 1889. he suggested that some of David-
son's "silk stocking" supporters in Rob-
ertson county submit this matter to the
Galvestonlan.
His discussion of the prohibition and
submission questions was attentively lis-
tened to and the speaker was freely ap-
plauded. Before concluding the candidate re-
ferred to the fact that Davidson had ad-
vertised that he had ICO men who were
going to speak for him.'
"But 1 haven't any million dollar cam-
paign fund or the silk stocking politicians
to speak for me hut must depend upon
my own efforts and the horny-handed
farmers of the State."
Mr. "olqultt spent the night here and
leaves at noon tomorrow for Oroesbeeck
where he speaks In the afternoon.

Bailey's ahoftctent here thla afternoon.
Mr. Johnson's address waa preceded by a
twenty-minute talk by Rev. "Arthur
Jones who compared Johnson's and Poln
dexter' position on' the prohibition Issue. '
He spent most of his time reading the
letter from Mr. Johnson to Sterling P.
Strong and. discussed Judge Ppindexter's
treatment of the same. . - -
Judge- Shannon mayor of the city In-
troduced Mr. Johnson as the Henry of
Navarre wearing the white plume of
prohibition and declared- If Mr. Johnson
was not elected -the cause of .prohibition
would he set back fifteen years'; that ha
was as brilliant' as Sam Houston as elo-
quent as .Jim Hogg and as honest aa
Richard Coke and If the people did (heir
duty he would be elected -governor July

Mr. Johnson entered at once into the
discussion of the prohibition question

carried and beyond a doubt - It will and

woman who Is conducting a house of 111
repuje: It can regulate the railroads and
the bunks but when It tries to carry out
the expressed will of the people and
regulate the liquor business It struck a
snag. The only platform demand de-
feated by the last legislature was the
one voted on by the people: All the rest
were enacted Into laws. The arm of' the
legislature waa shorter in dealing with
the liquor traffic than anything else.
Mr. Johnson scored Juilgo l'ointlexter's
three-mile law and said that every law
enacted by the legislature would read
within this State while this law would
read within a country district or three-
mile circle. a
He compared the fight for prohibition
to the Jeffries-Johnson fight and said
that If Jeffries let Johnson dictate all
the terms of the fight the negro would
lick him. He said the liquor business put
political handcuffs on Polndexter when
they got him to promise to kill statutory
prohibition. He made a short reference
to the Bailey question which was liberal-
ly applauded
A LABOR PAPER EDITOR.
What He Says About the Control of
the Labor Vote.
The following letter from Mr. Wood-
man editor of the Union Banner a labor
paper published at fort Worth Is self-
explanatory: Colonel R. M. Johnston Houston Texas.
Fort Worth Texas June 20. Dear Mr.
Johnston: Your article published on tho
10th' prompted by President dompers'
ews on the liquor question received and
fpprwiated. .
You are correct In your surmise: "When
It comes to separating the electorate into
distinct elements upon the basis of voca-
tion it can he truthfully said that thero
Is Just as much Individuality Intelligence
and Independence exercised by whatsis
termed tne labor vote (meaning union
labor) as Is exhlbltedyby any other clasi
of voters.'' m i
It has been my observation that organ-
ised labor resents auy attempt to- "lead"
It or to make It appear that because cer-
tain leaders fuvor a thing the rank and
file will vo;e that way.
When a "leader" begins to trade hi
"influence" Ills day are numbered.
Without a doubt In the present cam-
paign the liquor question is the paramount
Issue. In my opinion a very large per
cent of the working-men will permit this
issue to Influence their votes. Prohibi-
tion as many of us. see It means loss
of employment loss of homes we ire
buying on the Installment plan losing tho
savings of a life time. And then In ex-
change for this we are given bootleggers
blind tigers rotten so-called whisky with
no protection whatever for. our youths.
The mild drinks because of tbeir bulk
are eliminated.
Reasonable hour of labor a living
wage comfortable home and nourishing
food and education la the solution o( the
drink question. Tours truly

to be voted In the July primaries was
heard before Judge L. B. HlRhtower In
the Sixtieth district court this morning.
The relator was represented by Howth
A Adams A. T. Watts and R. A. Mc-
Dowell appeared for the respondents the
dernocratlo executive committee.
The witnesses examined were Frank
Hatton of Orange and I. D. Roberts of
Beaumont chairman of the dernocratlo
executive committee of Jefferson county.
Their testimony showed that Hatton had
mailed hla application at i o'clock In Or-
ange the afternoon ot June sending
the same by registered letter; that he
had then called up Mr. Roberts by tele-
phone and notified him of the sending of
the application; that the letter reached
Tteaumnnt on tha mall at s:3b n. m and
1 that It could have been received by Mr.
Roberts at the poatofflce here had he
called for It
Attorneys for the relator contended
Lthat Hatton had In effect complied with
the law; that it was not his rauit it
Chairman Roberts after being notified
failed to take the application from the
postofflce and they supported their argu.
ment by an opinion from A. B. Storey
chairman of the democratic State execu-
tive committee holding that Hatton'
name should be printed on the ballot.
Attorneys for respondent argued that
under Section 108 of the Terrell election
law the mailing In the postofflce con-
stituted a valid filing for State offices
but that under Section 110 of the law no
similar provision was made for filing
the applications of district offices. Their
contention was that as a matter of fact
though unfortunate for Hatton hla ap-
plication had not been filed within the
time limit of midnight June S and that
under the law the county executive com-
mittee should not be mandamused to
put hla name on the ticket. Their argu-
ment was supported by an opinion from
the attorney general.
The court did not admit either the
ruling of the attorney general or the
opinion of Chal'an Storey as evidence
but they were suomltted for the Informa-
tion of the court. Judge Hlghtower took
the matter under advisement and said
he would render his decision tomorrow
or next day. HI decision will be final
as should either side appeal there would
not be time to perfect the appeal before
the primary.
ASSISTED BY COLQUITT.
Testimony of a Galveston County
Track Grower..
To the Editos :
Being an old reader of The Post and a
democrat of forty-seven years I request
your attention just for a moment In be-
half of Hon. O. B. Colquitt. Being a
truck farmer and .shipper I naturally en-
counter many hard problems such as
express and freight rates excessive
charges proper routes etc.; hence right
here I refute the charge against Mr. Col-
?ultt by his opponents that he is not the
rlend of the farmer and In borer. Just
to the reverse he Is their only true ami
loyal friend in the race for governor. To
go back to my .troubles In the above
will say that nowhere could 1 get advice
and legal help only through our honorable
board of railroad commissioners. In each
case I sought Mr. Colquitt and In all
cases he was prompt and courteous as
though he was writing a letter homo to
a beloved brother instead of a stranger
and through him I have regained quitu a
few dollars from overcharges and other
valuable Information and It always came
In a spirit of cheerfulness honor and Jus-
tice to all concerned. Now brother
farmer and laborer how can It be kskI-
iile for any fair-minded man to my Mr.
Colquitt Is not the friend of all the law
abiding people and especially the farmer
and laborer of our great Mate? I have
voted for him In all his campaigns and
for Hon. Joe Bailey and im proud of
the distinction. Colquitt is s second Joe
Bailey. He Is brave loyal to his party
with the hardlh )od and cour.ro to stand
h i i" Ids convctlons which h.i believes to
be correct and to the best Interest of the
masses of this great State of ours to
the happiness and promotion of all liberty
and home rule loving people. Olve us
local self government let us sound the

JOHNSON RUNNING BUND
Declared Poindeiter Denouncing
Him as Prohibition Maverick.
(Houtlon Pan SrnK.)
SAN ANTONIO Texas. June ft Cone
Johnson and Railroad Commissioner Col-
quitt branded as twin brothers In the
governorship race were held up to
ridicule and their respective platform
assailed vigorously and unrelentingly; the
liquor interest of the State were harshly
reproved for their responsibility In keep-
ing the prohibition question In politics
and the right of the people to control
their own government was eloquently de-
fended In the speech by William Poln-
dexter of Cleburne candidate for gov-
ernor before a thousand people here to-i
night
While attempted saloon domination of
the dernocratlo party wa criticised
roundly and at length Johnson and Col-
quitt and their tactics were the prin-
cial objects ot the jurist' rapid-fir. at-
tacks marking almost the whole course
nt thla ranillrlkta'i rl 1 t.M a.
It waa a warm decidedly warm even-
ing and this may nave inspired me
speaker to warm up. Hla words were In
accord with the temperature. The
audience warmed up too as he pro-
gressed and Increased In slse. And
when aroused and militant he paced the
stage hi once high collar a wet string
about his neck his audience whooped and
howled. Oral assaults on Johnson seem-
ingly were appreciated most and In the
the crowd frequently allowed the candi-
date to say lust enough for them to grasp
the trend of the denunciation when they
would drown Its climax with about and
applause. ' .
Often he chose to um up an argument
with an emphatic prediction ot his nom-
ination and election accompanied by ex-
planation of the change he will bring
about In the particular ytem or oon-
riitinn 1 1 nier riiaeuaalon when he is gov
ernor. These too were approved In'
hearty fashion. Johnson sincerity ae a
prohibitionist was questioned Ud statu-
tory prohibition was slashed and hacked
and was represented as the most uncon-
stitutional of unconstitutional possible)
itrA what he called "Johnson's con
fession of faith" wherein the Tyler can-
dldate said: "Theoreiicaiiy ana aiuw.-
ly I am an antl-prohlbltionlst but prac-
tically I am a prohibitionist'
"What kind of a pr.hlbltlon!st I
that?" he asked sarcasUcaJly occasion-
ing applause. "He Is a pro at one end
and an antl at the other. Johnson at
Dallas got the Anti-Saloon league to
brand him. but he had not got sixty mile
swav when the brand faded out; h did
not know what he was and went back
to have them brand him over . M
(Laughter and applause.) They told him
there I a law against branding maver-
IX (Shrieks and lhter; applause
subsides and Is renewed.) . Tea he Isi t.
mo for pract cal purposes-tor practical
Purposes Iaughtr.) He Is for statu-
tory prohibition and he does not know
what It Is."
Women Would Defeat Prohibition.
To the Edito :
I do not propose to dictate but as a
representative of democracy I will of-
fer a few suggestions for consideration
to the voters who agree with me.
I am In favor of a few things but not
all that the pros advocate.
1. I favor local option.
" I favor the improvement of public
schools and other Institutions of educa-
tional Interest.
3 I am In favor of a representative
government but not a dictatorial gov-
ernment or prohibition government.
4. I favor submission but am not In
favor of submitting on account of the
expense.
The primaries srs near at hand and It
Is your duty a voters and cltlions to exer-
cise some discretion In electing delegates
to county and State conventions.
Thero are two men for governor that
could command the respect of the peo-
ple. They are William Polndexter and
O. B. Colquitt. The latter no doubt
will be our next governor.
Home of these broad shouldered State-
wide fellows Imagine that they have
gained the sympathy of the ladles hut
they are mistaken. I believe the women
would defeat the pros by a large ma-
jority. Mothers do not wnt to see their
boys smuggling and bootlegging and go-
ing to the pen In herds; neither do the
lawyers care to prosecute them.
