JOHN H. KIRBY COMMENTS ON RE.
SULTS OF SATURDAY’S PRI.
MARY ELJ MTIONS.
Bj Aszoclated Press.
New YorkL juiy 29.—The defeat of
ex-Con an Thomas H. Ball In
the racejlor the governorship of Texas
in the primaries last Saturday was at-
tributed by John H. Kirby, member of
the last Texas legislature, a Democrat
and a wealthy lumber operator, to the
interference of the national adminis-
tration in state politics.
“Such interference,” said Mr. Kir-
by at the Waldorf, where he had just
arrived, “resulted in a majority of 50,-
000 votes for James E. Ferguson, an
unknown farmer.
“You see, Postmaster General Bur-
leson had gone down there in person
to direct things, and letters signed by
President! ,Wilson and Secretary of
State Bryan we’re circulated through
the state. The administration is not
popular in Texas and the people re-
sented such;Bmieddling in their local
affairs, so they just rose on their hind
legs.
“Texas is not in harmony with the
administration on several points. Ours
is an agricultural state, and under the
new tariff everything we produce is
put on the free list and what we have
to buy is obtainable only in a taxed
market. We are not in harmony with
the administration on the currency
question, because its views are at. va-
riance with the teachings of the Dem-
ocratic party for the last fifty years.
We are wholly out of harmony with "
the administration’s Mexican policy,
for the reason that while as President
Wilson says, this is a ‘Nation of ser-
vice,’ we believe the first duty of our
government is to its own citizens.
‘Of course, Ferguson’s nomination
means his election. The state conven-
tion will meet at El Paso August 11'.
it is announced that there Texas will
reaffirm the ancient Democratic faith
for which the party has stood for 100
years regardless of Mr. Wilson and
Mr. Bryan. The Republicans and the
< 4
Progressives fl^f^d^w no encourage
ment from the’ i^erit primary. They
do not stand for anything in Texas but
policies and a political party, to en-
dure, must stand for principles.”
