PROHIBITION PLANK.
Effort to Put One in Democratic Plat
 form in Texas.

Houston, Texas, Aug. 1.-The at tendance of the Democratic State Con- vention which assemblies here tomor- row, is much larger than anticipated. The advance notice that the prohibition question might be injected Is believed to be the principal reason. Rev. G. c Rankin leader of the local option ists. is. here and states that~the fight will be forced by the antis.
 The contest from Austin County, in- volving the prohibition issue incident ally; from Grimes County, involving relation to Democracy, and from Brazos County involving a fight tover offices. have taken up most of the attention to- day. Nothing will be given out till to- morrow.
 It has been decided that Carlos Bee of San Antonio, shall be temporary chairman and Congressman Sam E. Hooper permanent chairman.
 The fight for State Chairman Is hot between Ben F. Cable of Dallas, Frank Andrews of Houston and ". l.. Rad ney of Waco. with the real contest be- tween the first two named.
 The candidates for Attorney General opposing R. V. Davidson have been seeking some basis for combination against him, but so far as can be learn ed have reached no decision. Nearly all of the Congressman are here, but none of the Senators. They are doing very little talking. Cover nor Lanham got in tonight. but Is keep ing hands off in all fights either for office or platform demands.
