EIGHT PAGES
OF STATE DEMOCRATIC ORGANI-
ZATION ARRIVING ON CONVEN-
TION SCENE—SOME CONTESTS
TO BE DISPOSED OF.
(By Associated Press.)
I Houston, Texas, May 27.—Eighteen
of the thirty-one members of the
state democratic executive commit-
tee had arrived here up to noon. The
appointment of a sub-committee on
credentials is to submit this after-
noon the result of the committee’s ac-
tion on the four contests, respective-1 footed the bills
ly from Lavaca, El Paso, Fannin and
Duval counties. The Duval county
contest is between two Harmon fac-
tions, the Lavaca contest is between
Wilson and Harmon factions, the
Fannin between Wilson and Clark
factions, and El Paso between Wil-
.son and Harmon.
The action of the Wilson men's
cauchs tonight as to a temporary
chairman of the convention will then
be awaited.
Some of the members today are
discussing the probability of the Har-
mon and Clark forces attempting to
secure some sort of consideration for
their men, but the general opinion is
that the committee’s only course of
action lay in accepting the wishes of
the Wilson majority for the present.
Commissioners
Come Again
Paletsine, Texas, May 25, 1912.—
Editors of Paletsine Daily Herald.
Palestine, Texas.—Dear Sirs:—In
your editorial of yesterday * headed
‘The Statement from the City Com-
missioners,” among other things, you
say there is not very much in this
statement, (referring to the state-
ment made by the city commissiqn-
ers in answer to the resolution of
Citizen's Committee) ‘‘that challenges
attention from this people and most
of it is irrevelant to. the point at
issue. However, there are one or
two mis-statements that should be
answered. Mr. C. A. Sterne has been
keeping the books of Palestine’s
school boards since 1887 and he says
that during all that time the school
board has paid the insurance, and
for all' repairs,
amounting to several hundred dollars
every year. He will make affidavit
to this statement. Then the state-
ment that the city has ever paid
these items until just recently is a
mis-statement of facts, if we are to
believe Mr. Sterne. And he has the
record on th^. city council men.”
The citizens are entitled to the
facts concerning this matter. In the
first place the books of the Palestine
j school board do not show and as
a matter of course would not show,
the expenditures made by the city
for insurance and repairs, hence Mr.
Sterne could not have the records on
the city councilmen. Besides, in the
light of the facts as shown by the
records of the city, which are open
to the inspection of every citizen of
j Palestine, -we doubt if Mr. C. A.
! Sterne will make an affidavit such as
you state he would make. The rec-
ords of the city have been only par-

Statement By
Commissioner Garner
Palestine. Texas, May 27, 1912.—
Believing, as I do. that the public
should know how their public officers
stand on a i public questions, I want
to make my position plain on the
school question. I am opposed to
building a negro brick school house
out of the bond money voted about
vre year ago. This fer several tear
sons: I do not believe the present
needs of the negro schools justify
the expenditure of about ^x thousand
dollars on a new scnool house, when
two thousand dollars spent will re-
lieve their n^eds, knowing as I do
that the white children are only go-
ing to school half days because there
is not room enough to permit them
going a full day. Further it is well
