stituents that unless a majority of the
county register their choice between the
rival candidates for senator in next SatCr-
days primaries he viii vote his own con-

an editorial IN the Evening News Of this
city yesterday, in which the following Ian
guage occurred: "If the representatives
of Travis county court political death let
them vote against Mills"
Dawson, Judge Terrell's colleague, says
that he has not yet decided his course in the

on joint ballot. A rumor got abroad to-day
OF q resolution to be offered tomorrow in
che house. inviting the three candidates for

but lack substance. The CulberSon people
are keeping up a bold front, hoping in the
event of failure to elect on the first ballot,
TO defeat Mills. They hope or expect to
elect Old Dave by a combination with the
Chiltonites, who they think will all go over
TO him. AT present Mills appears to be
MASTER OF THE SITUATION,
and II no objections or accidents occur be-
tween now and next Tuesday, he will be
elected. The opposition is laying in wal

may occur. There was some talk to-day
that the Mills men who are also for Hogg,

pressive Of their fealty to both Mills and
Hogg, and disavowing the slightest hos
fifty to Hogg because Of their devotion to
Mills.
