Colso, of 0 ,528. In them the vote stood,
Davis lO,62b, Coke lS,ODh IN moss
same counties the vote now hthhuF, i9I
tic Constitution 1871, against "
ID, O0j.-maj orlty against only 3,1Sl, a
min OF 2,7Di. The increase IN Their
auaregate vote IL 1914. but the most
rennarkable fact IL that twelve OF the
tweuty-sIx counties which gave ma
lorlty TO Davis now give u majority for
the Constitution, They are Bastrop,
Calhoun, Dewitt, Gillespie, Hidalgo,
Houston, Kinney, Montgomery, Nue.
ces, Victoria, Webb and Iapata The
other fourteen counties which gave
nRIoritIes for Davis now give u major
10y against the Constitution, They are
ljluzOria, Colorado, Fort Bend, Grlmes,
Harrison, Jackson, Kendall, Marion,
MatAgOrda, MedinH nan Jnclnto,
Walker. Waller and Washington.
Thus, while twelve ~ the counties
that went for Davis IN 1873, now 20 ior
the Constitution, only six Of the one
hundred aud seven counties That gave
moIorItIes for Coke N 1873, NOW give
maiorllIes against the Constitution.
They are Coinal, Harris, Robertson,
Snn Augustine, Starr ana Travis. The
change In San Augustine Is only q
votes, aud In Starr ~. The only re-
mnrkAble changes are In the counties
of Galveston aud Harris, embracing
strange to say, the two largest cities in
the State. Thus, Galveston gave Coke
2,A02, aud Davis ,O2j. She gives the
Constitution 1914 against II 1919 in
crease In total vote 323. Harris coun
" gave Coke 1906, Davis 2,l00, She
gives the Constitution 500 against !
| S,0G4 Increase In total vote 50. So Il
viii llp seen, ~ u most remarkable
freak In Texns politics, that the city o
Houston and county Of Harris stan'
out In bold relief against The voice o
the State. From II majority for COX
In 1873 OF 707, she has Hoped he
wings and turned over against tn
I general voice Of all Texas TO the tun'
, Of 2l03 against the new Constitution
and stamped herself rs overwhelming
~ wise above all other Texan com
munitles, or ~ being led astray by IN
