dates to file their applications with
Chairman Lumpkins for places on
the ticket, r. L. Stinnett and j. l..

applications with Chairman Lump

against candidates for those offices.
Chairman Lumpkins accepted the
fees pending ruling from the at
torney general to whom he wrote re-
garding the matter Yesterday Mr.
Lumpkins received the following com
munication from Office Assistant At
tornev General Claude Pollard relat-
ing to the applications of belated
! candidates:
Austin, Texas, June 81, 1906
Mr. j. c. Lumpkins, Waxahachie,
Texas. Dear Sir: Replying to yours
of the 25th you are advised that the
provisions of the Terrell election law
relating to the applications of cam
didates should not be so rigidly con-
strued as to prevent any party from
becoming a candidate, especially in
view of the fact that the provisions
are new and untried, and much dis
.cretion should be used by the COM
mittee in passing upon belated ap-
plications.
In view of Mr. Pollard's liberal
construction of the law Chairman
Lumpkins has ruled that the names
of the above candidates shall be plac-
ed on the official ballot.
