Prohibition Getting Firm Hold In Texas.
DALLAS, TEX, June l4.-Several coun-
ties yesterday held prohibition elections.
A telegram from Crockett says Houston

majority. A telegram from Palo Pinto
says prohibition carried in Palo Pinto
County, the majority being very heavy
against the sale OF ardent beverages.
The latest news last night indicates the
Prohibitionists have secured the best Of
the contest In the city elections. Benton
County, Palo Pinto County and Lime
stone County are known TO have Endorsed
Prohibition by gooo majoritics. Houston
County Is certainly against Prohibition

liquor men claiming about two hundred
majority. Dallas County held no clcc-
ton, but the temperance people are work
Ing to have one ordered for some time ia
July, when they claim they will carry the
county.
