THE ELECTION
In TEXAS
The Vote Was Light, and Amend
ments to the Constitution
Carried.

From president to constable" is the
way the democrats of Texas voted
Tuesday. AT first glance the state
election returns Indicate, that every
elective Office in Texas will be held by
a democrat. This includes the entire
state ticket, sixteen members of con-
gress, the house and senate, the ju-
dietary and all county and precinct Of
fees. There may be an occasional ex-
ception to this, but if so 1t will only
prove the rule.
The vote over the entire state was
very light, due to the Terrell election
law, the operations of which come in
for many concentrations.
Due to the light vote, the demo-
cratic majorities will be smaller than
heretofore numerically, but will APP
parently be larger than ever in pro-
portion to the vote cast.
Many counties of the state will lose
heavily on convention representation,
due to the falling off in the vote for
governor.
All three of the amendments to the
constitution were adopted with good
msjorities.
