MISS HORTON, SECRETARY Fort Worth Woman Appears to Have No Opposition for Place The ExecutiTe Committee Is in Closed Session. (Hotuttm TH Sftclal.1 GALVESTON, Texas, August 2. While the opening aeaalon of the convention of the Farmers' Cnlon will not take place until Tuesday morning, the city la already filled with representatives of the organisation. Practically every member of the executive board la In the city wtlh the exception of President Nell, and he will come' In tomorrow.

The headquarters of the association have been established at Love's hotel on Postoffloe street, while the aesslons will be held In Bcrewmen's hall on Mechanics street. Today the executive officers In the city continued their meetings, which were atrlctly executive 'and very little information of value from a news standpoint leaked out to the representatives of the press. MISS HORTON FOR SECRETARY. The one real surprise which was sprung this morning, however, was the announcement that Miss Nellie Horton of Fort Worth would In all probability be the one candidate for secretary. While the mention of tbe young lady's name came somewhat as a surprise, It Is now almost regarded "as a sure thing that she will be the one and only candidate.

In all reasonable probability a woman will be elected to an Important State office of the Farmers' Union for the first time In the history of the organization. Miss Nellie Horton of Fort Worth la be- vf D. J. Seill, President of the Farmers' State Union of Texas. Ing prominently mentioned for State sec retary, second only to the orrice of president, and will likely be elected.

For four years Miss Horton has been assistant State seoretar" -nj her knowledge of the union's affairs Is thoro and comprehensive, bur i young, pretty and the idol of the farmers, who always meet her at conventions. She has not missed attending a convention for the past four years, and is now regarded as necessary to the union. She has many supporters among the delegates who argue that to fall to elect her State secretary would be to withhold the reward which she so well deserves. Her parents live in Fort Worth. The choice of president will He between W.

T. Loudermllk and C. Smith, both of Comanche county. Mr. Loudermllk has been a State executive committeeman, and Is at present the Texas member of the National committee.

He has been a strong official of the union since It was organized. He Is a successful and conservative business man. Mr. Smith has been State secretary of the union for two years and Is well posted on union affairs. He also Is a conservative.

Joe Edmondson will be re-elected State organiser. The meeting may not recommend a minimum price for cotton. It will probably leave the matter of fixing the minimum price In the hands of the National convention, as It did last year. The day will be taken up with committee meetings. PRICE OF COTTON.

It Is also stated that Joe Edmondson will be re-elected as State organiser. It is said that the fixing of the price of cotton may and It may not be an Important feature of tfie convention; It will be con-aldered by the delegatea, but It Is claimed by some of the leaders that nosltive ae-Uon will not be taken until September. ine members of the convention say that Jti C.V th.ls wln "Kht one, Jf P'aced at 2,000.000 bales.

Kansas City, Ma, fe1r I Made Speech at Cameron Along Usual Lines. HIS IDEAS OF PLATFORM Obedience as Now Expressed Dwelt Upon at Considerable Length. Said It Was an Answer to Colqnitt. (Hcuito Pott Sptcial.) CAMERON. Texas, August was Cone Johnson day In Cameron and when he appeared on the speaker's stand in the court house he was greeted by a splendid audience of SOW Milam county voters.

It was a representative gathering from all parts of the county. Tbe speaker was In fine trim and delivered a magnificent address, which was frequentlx applauded by his hearers. Quite a number of ladles graced the occasion and throughout the speaker had earnest attention and was warmly cheered, especially when be spoke of the right of the people to demand of their publlo servants obedience to -their party platforms. He declared this to be the first and primary essential of democratic government Mr. Johnson answered the argument of Commissioner Colquitt In his San Saba speech.

He said. In part: "Mr. Colquitt joins the ranks of those who do not believe In obeying Instructions. He savs the platform la to be Ignored because OX the manner In which platforms are constructed; that they are the work of committees and frequently contain demands on issues that have never been discussed before the people, and which do not voice the wishes or demands of the people. This Is an indictment on the old convention filan to which Mr.

Colquitt must desire return; but he la logical enough to see that this Is no answer to the demand for submission, which comes directly from the people through the medium of the otaie primary neia in accoraance wun tne democratic law. "He must find an answer to this primary platform demand. hat do you suppose his answer Is? He says that It is old popullstic idea of the Initiative arul referendum and that he Is opposed to it. "No wonder he winds up his argument by boldly declaring that if he were in congress and the democratic National platform should declare for a tariff policy which did not agree with his views, he would repudiate the democratic platform and follow his own nose. RECREANT LEGISLATORS.

"That Is the trouble with all of these folks who attempt to defend the recreancy of the legislature in defeating the will of the people as expressed at the ballot box. They are driven to a complete repudiation of all kind of Instructions from the people to their servants. According to him, a platform demand, without a primary election, hrs no binding force because It isn't the will of the people; and the will of the people as expressed in a primary election Is of no force because It Is popullstic. "What part In the affairs of government doee he propose for the ordinary citizen to play 7 He has told us. He says that the test of democracy la In voting the ticket.

He still leaves to the peorile. the right to vote to elect somebody to office, but denies to them all possible opportunity or privilege to have any voice in the policies of the government or to direct or control their own affairs. This Is the cry of the man long In office, who has come to the conclusion that the only business which the voter has to meddle with in public affairs Is to elect the officers, give them full power and a free hand and go home and be quiet. "Jefferson warned us against this weakness of man. hence his Idea of frequent elections at which the public officials could be called to account There Is a deliberate attempt on the part of certain Interests and certain people from Washington to our legislature to take the government out of the hands of the people and place It In the hands of a smaller class, the so-called aristocracy of education and wealth, whom they believe are more capable of making laws for the peo- fle than are the people capable of making aws for themselves.

"Scratch off the veneers from any these defenders of the legislature and you will find one who Is opposed to all kinds of Instructions at the hands of the sovereign voter. They fret at the reRtralntVof the will of the people; they believe that they can make laws for the people that would be better for them than they could make for themselves. They deny tho capacity of the people for self-government; they do not believe In the rule of the majority. SENATORS AND CONGRESSMEN. Mr.

Johnson also discussed the action of senators and congressmen who had, he alleged, openly repudiated the National platform and refused to be bound by It He said that the Idea that a platform of the defeated party was not binding was ridiculous and absurd. It was equivalent to saying to the people "If we win, the platform goes; If we succeed, we mean what we say; If defeated. It was only a Joke." "It reminds me of the platform of a railroad car which Is made to get In on and not to stand on. You have noticed that the door of the car contains a warning 'Do not stand on the The whole thing Is a rebellion against the organized democracy and has for Its ultimate purpose to turn Texas and the country over to special Interests. These same people ary crying turn Texas loose." I wan to know to whom we are going to turn It over before I Join In this cry.

I want them to turn Texas loose and let the peorle get control again. Beware of the man who Is afraid of the people. Beware of the man who denies the capacity of the people to shape and direct their own government. Beware of the man who denies the will of the people. Beware of him who finds excuses and Invents subterfuges: for those who snap their fingers In the people's faces.

"This Is your government. Your taxes support It. Your arms must defend It. It Is yourx They will take It away from you and torn It over to those whose Interests thev serve ur.les- you are watchful and stand guard. ISSUES OF IMPORTANCE.

There are other Issues of Importance that are not to be overlooked. The supremacy of the law. the prosecution of the trusts, the encouragement In extension of public education, the correction of our Judicial system, the encourase-ment of agricultural and the economical administration of the government are all Important." He discussed each of these subjects at some length and told the audience not to forget or to overlook them when they came to decide these matters at the ballot box. With reference the prosecution of trusts he said: "The victory gained for the State of Texas and her people by the vigorous and successful prosecution of the corrupt arm of the Standard OH company operating in Texas In the name of Waters Pierce Oil company secured at the hands of the attorney general's department Is not to be lost nor frittered away and Is but the beginning of an honest and determined effort to bring every unlawful and unholy conspiracy against commerce and the rights of the people to Justice to the end that all Interests In Texas might be brought under the law."
