This was cheered by part of the crowd. The report of the committee on credentials was adapted, carrying 1.074 votes into the without any contests.

conventiou District JudSo Frank C. Davis of Bryan was to have placed governor N'eff In nomination for a second term. After a wait he did not appear and Miss Pecca Lamar West of Waco, who was to have seconded the nomination, made the nominating speech and was warmly received. She lauded the governor and reviewed his record to show that he kept faith with the people. "I was Kiven five minutes." said Miss West, "but did anyone ever know a woman who could say all she wanted to in five minutes? 1 will leave it to their husbands.

(Laughter.) And did anyone ever hear of a democratic convention limiting; a man to five minutes?" She took a. little more thtin five minutes. Neff Chreml to Echo. Neff was unanimously nominated by a rising vote and cheered to the echo when he reached the platform accompanied by a. trommitteo consisting of J.

W. Blake. John Quaid. Kl Paso; Mrs. Lee Joseph.

Sun Antonio; Mrs. T. B. Love. Dallas, and B.

Judge Davis said he was delayed through a mis- will be the successful aspirants for office in Texas because the democratic party not only in the state but in the nation is entitled to democratic party was entitled to succeed Cwo years ago.

but it entered the campaign in a period of uitft-cii and uncertainty brought about largely by the vicious propaganda of the republican party. which nut only belittled equaled accomplishments the of un- our understanding of the hour. He formally introduced the governor to the convention in a speech replete with approval of the governor's record and finally nominated him for president. This was received with applause. Davis commended the governor for his courage in enfurcin the laws, referring to "that verita ble hell on earth--Mexla." All of the delegates rose to the! feet when the governor came for ward to make his speech and wa cheered.

His address was frequentl punctuated with manifestations approval and great outbursts greet ed his remarks about the equality the citizens regardless of creed Governor Neff defended his action invoking martial and open port lav in Texas towns as a result of th railroad strike In accepting tb democratic nomination for re-elec tlon before the democratic stat convention today, and declared ht would continue to "enforce the state laws, protect property and keep open the channels of Law In Suiiremr.

They are responsible and exacting. I aJone can discharge them. The remaining five million citizens of the state have obligations, not less binding than mine. "That I might render the best service, I have not permitted myself since 1 became governor to become a member of or to align myself with any commercial, social, secret, sectional, racial or ecclesiastical organization that even had a tendency to separate our people into sects or sections. All men.

Christian and pagan, Jew and gentile. Catholic and Protestant, rich and poor, black and white, those who speak classical English and those -who articulate in a foreign tongue, the upper ten and the lower ten thousand, have looked alike and fared alike, and shall continue to look alike and fare alike officially." After that came the of the democratic candidate for tho United States senate and Mrs. Edith Wilmans of Dallas, who is to be the only woman member of the next legislature, as well as the first In Tejtas, placed Earle B. Mayfield before the convention and was applauded time and again. She praised Mayficld as a great prohibitionist and one who will reflect credit on Texas.

She also commended his record from the woman's standpoint. A committee was appointed to escort Mayfield to the stand consisting of Z. E. Marvin, Dallas' Walton D. Hood.

San Antonio: Rev F. Andrews. Palestine: Mrs. Hal Greer. Beaumont, and Mrs.

Claude van De Watts, Austin, Mnj-ficld Ovntlon. When Mayrleld reached the platform ho was given an ovation led by the Dallas delegation which was Jubilant. His address was applauded many times. In places it almost exactly followed Ms campaign speeches, particularly that in reference to prohibition and immigration. Ho talked of "the slimy liquor traffic and European hordos infesting our shores" and insisted that the latter be made to kiss the flag upon coming here, and there were loud cheers.

He spoke In part, us follows: "I appreciate very much. Indeed the i i a i to address the our stutc in convention assembled, and availing: myself of the privilege of this occasion, I desire to again express to the democrats country under a democratic administration, but discredited the achievements of the army itself. "In that hour of unrest which the republicans fomented, they held out to the people the golden hope of both in our national life and in our international affairs. Too I cowardly to assume the responsibility which our standing in the world places upon us, the republicans have held aloof from every international problem that has challenged the statesmanship of the world, and the which they have given us in our international affairs is reflected in the collapse of Germany, in the arrogance of France, In the suspicion of Great Britain. Italy and Japan and in revolutionary conditions that are now ready to cnsul all Europe in flames.

Nonnnlcy Reflexea. "The 'normalcy' which the repub lican party has given us at home reflected in the unemployment of more than a million men who bore arms for the- country In its inosi fateful hour, in a nationwide coa! strikv which for months has paralyzed the Industries of the nation and in a railroad strike which is clogging all the arteries of commerce, while there is no man in the republican administration who been able to initiate a plan or even to suggest a thought looknig beyond a military guard. "Not content with these distracting conditions, the republican will soon saddle upon a tax-ridden people a tariff bill by which the hide producer takes from the sugar producer, the sugar producer from the wool producer, the wool producer from the lumber producer, and the lumber irom the endless story of the vicious ring and making it necessary for the American citizen to pay an average tariff tax of 25c in order to collect a dime of tuxes into the federal treasury. With such a record for the last two years, having done absolutely nothing to merit the confidence of the people, and with President Harding showing a tragical and i i incompetence to deal with the mighty problems confronting the nation, it is positively ridiculous for the republicans even to talk about having a chance of electing a United States senator from Texas, the banner state of the union. "Without sacrificing our nationalism or surrendering our sovereignty in the slightest degree, the democratic party would have our country assume, with dignity and the stand.

in a brief introductory SEALY SHOOTING AFFRAY speech, frequently applauded, commended the pure old-iashioued democracy of Senator Davidson, asserting that Davidson advocated the equal rights of citizens as guaranteed by the- constitution ed States and by (Continued From Page L) Announcing plause.)

The world realizes today as never before, the necessity of a supreme forum where nations can peaceably assemble around a table and adjudicate their differences In council, and where reason and justice 'can take the place of cannon and the bayonet. Stabilize Europe, "The democratic party, with the courage to initiate and the capacity to execute, would assist in the sta- bilisation of Europe and thus give the American farmer the freest possible access to the markets of the world for his products and thereby )lace agriculture upon a plane where, it would be self-sustaining and prosperous.

It would give agriculture honest markets free from speculation and manipulation. It would not only legalize the co-operative marketing of farm products ut It would give our farmers and ive stock men a svstem of intermediate credits which would enable hem to market their products gradually throughout the year at their real instead of forcing them to dump the products of the ranch and farm on the market in three or "our months after harvest for any irice It would guaran- ee to capital the integrity of its nvestment and to labor the certain- and decency of its wage. The democratic party believes In the tghts of the states tu control and egulate purely intraatate com- ierce. It would therefore restore the rate-making powers to the state allroad commissions, so the people ould be given relief from the ex- ortionate and unreas6nable freight ates placed upon the in- erstate commerce commission at Washington. "The democratic party stands for law enforcement and for prohibition.

Therefore, no man is loo big to be above the law, nor too small to be below the law. If we stand for the enforcement of a law because we favored iuj enactment and oppose the enforcement of a law because we oppoaed Ita passage, the time will come when we will not favor the enforcement of any law, because disrespect for the enforcement of one law will soon beget disrespect for the enforcement of all laws. to 1'tn. "The enforcement of local option laws in Texas demonstrated that the only way we could have prohibition in the dry counties was to send the bootleggers to the penitentiary. We should, therefore, chunge the penalty of the Volstead act and make the first offense of selling intoxicating liquor in violation of the laws of the United States a felony, punishable by imprisonment in the federal penitentiary.

Bootleggers and moon- shiners will continue in bu.sine.ss as long as they can get out of the clutches-of the law by paying a small fine, but when they know the first violation of the prohibition law neans a term In the penitentiary at Lcavonworth they will surely seek a new line of business.

Wurzbach. "If you are democrats here." admonished Senator Davidson, "you will vote for Heruberg. in fact, if you are real democrats you will vote for all the nominees of our party and work for them." The women were complimented by Senator Davidson and he welcomed them to the convention, saying they came not as dictators, but coworkers. (Applause.) "We often hear in this country," resumed Senator Davidson, "that the courts can not reach certain crimes and. therefore, laymen are justified in finding a short cut to enforce the laws.

It Is one of the greatest dangers of the times. If the courts-can not reach these offenses then 1 say amend the law so as to strengthen the arms of the courts so they can punish such offenders. "It is a well-known fact that no court ever relinquished any power. They usually assert more power than they really possess. And that would be true of this court of public conscience that attempts to take the law into its own hands in this country.

It would soon be going too far and the danger to our country would be great. The safe way to reach such situations is through the ballot bos. Elect the proper officers." Hatred and Funuticlxm. It was here that Senator Davidson clare that they have not been able to find any weapon used In the battle. The klan is said to be mixed up in the quarrel.

The Schaffners are anti-klan. Politics figured in the quarrel also. The four dead men were members of prominent and influential families of Austin County. The Schaff- ners were strong supporters of K. Miller, candidate for county judge The Bells of Bellville were equally as ardent in their support of County Judge W.

Hill, opposing Mr. Miller. Hill was renomintted. Origin 01 QBurrcl. The chance remark of a woman made early in June at a political gathering is said to have started the quarrel which ended in the battle last night- At a.

political speech- making at Cat Spring June 6 Mr Miller is said to have repeated part of his speech in German for the benefit of a group of old men and women near the speaker's stand. All of this group of elderly people are of German descent and they do not understand English. According a statement made here today Deputy Sheriff Jack Hillboldt young Robert Schaffner asked a woman! acquaintance in the crowd what she thought of the She replied. Mr. Hillboldt said, that i was "all very well but the man who made the speech in German ought to be tarred and Robert Schaffner is said to have replied that "when they started the tar and feather parties they had better take him along too.

if that was the way' the question was Judged." Thompson Bell, overhearing the remark, is alleged to have replied to young Schaffner: "You and your father and some of your friends are going to get that dose out." Just at this conversation Sheriff VACUUM CUP CLINCHER CORD TIRES so strongly inveighed against racial if you don't watc hatred and religious fanaticism and point of the ct was cheered to the echo.

It was here that Dr. Cranberry made his motion to indorse the speeches of Neff and Davidson but was ruled out of order ward the son fell beside him. The elder Schaffner was unarmed, but Robert pulled out a pistol and began firing at some men who were shooting.

No one knows who fired the first shot. About fifteen or eighteen shots were fired, though this is a conjecture, Mr. Hillboldt said.

The severed artery almost caused the boy's death before it was tied.

Meanwhile the elder Schaffner and his son lay, their heads touching, in the door of the Meyer drug store in front of which the battle had been fought Half way on the sidewalk, way in the street in front, lay Turner Bell.

The pocketknife and the brass knucks were on the sidewalk. There were no weapons in the dead men's pockets.
