DEMOCRATIC
COMMITTEE MEETS
In Session in Waco to Consider Meeting Place of State Convention and Other Matters.
[By Associated Press]
Waco, Tex., June 8. - Selecting the meeting place for the State Democratic convention this summer, was the most important scheduled business before the State Democratic Executive Committee here today, although some features of the political situation were forecasted to overshadow this routine before the session ended. The committee met under call of Chairman Walter Collins.
Whether Ball or Ferguson influences would control the committee was perhaps the first outstanding political feature. Forecasts have been that the Ball supporters would have a majority of the committee. Governor O. B. Colquitt had announced he would come here to appear before the committee. Beyond the fact that as Governor he might be deeply interested in the actions of this important committee, no especial purpose for sitting in at any of the deliberations was announced by the Governor.
His support of the antis through Ferguson was pointed to, however, as one ground for his coming. Waco is after the State convention. Two years ago San Antonio had the convention, at that time winning it from Dallas and Fort Worth.
