amendment to the Terrell election law
providing that on petition of 10 per
cent of the voters of any party the
executive committee shall submit any
question to the voters at the general

reported here, be sprung at the meet
ing of the state democratic executive
committee, which is to meet at Dallas
on June s. which has been called by
Chairman Garden for the purpose of
discussing the question of statewide
prohibition. The opinion of Mr.. Wal
tha1l was given in answer to letter
received by him from Chester Fl. Ter

anti-prohibitionists believe that the
result of it will be the refusal of the
democratic executive committee to
order a vote on the prohibition ques-
ton at the primary to be held in July.
