REPUBLICAN PARTY OF TEXAS 
 The First 50 Years

AUSTIN, March 8-10

The convention was a contest between the "black and tan" and the "lily-white" factions; the former were in large majority. A number of the latter held a caucus in which plans were discussed for independent action, but final decision was postponed until the meeting of the white Republican clubs at Dallas in April.
