WACO, Texas, Aug. 13.—The wing
of the republican party in Texas
known as the progressives and inde-
pendenta divided into two conventions
here yesterday, the independents en-
drsing Senator Robert M. La Follette
of Wineonsin for president and Sena-
tor R. K. Wheeler for Vite president,
and the sd-called black aad tans nom-
iuating John E. Elgin of San Antonio
fer rovernor.
Tentative presidential electors, the
personnel of which probably will be
chaured t agree with the electors on
the La Follette ticket, according to
Mr. Flein were amed by the black
and tans or "united republlean party
of Texas.” as Mr. Elgla styled it.
A committet was named to select a
fall Mate ticket at its discretion at a
future meeting. The independents did
nut name a state tieket. following a
suggestion from La Follette national
headquarters that such a course might
coraplicate party machinery in several
states.
Committee Named.
Tle tdependents named an execu-
tire committee of thtrty-three mem-
ben to comply with 'tbe Texas elec-
tion law olid to provide one mean* of
nssoring the pfeaidential electors be-
