precincts gave Dahlman 5iS as against
81 for Governor Shallenberser, MS OF
ponent- Cady received 1iO and Alorlch'
his opponent, Z9.
Perhaps the most significant indication
OF these returns is the heavy vote given

That the Santa Fc gradually IS
working out Il plan by which its posi-
ton as a factor in transcontinental
traffic will be considerably augmented
by q supplementary water line from
Galveston to New York, is the opinion
of a numher of railroad officials of
the southwest. These rumors are given
some credenCe by a recent purchase
of real estate which the Santa Fe rs
said 10 have made in the city of Gal-
weston. which cost in the n%eighbor-
hood Of $500, 600. However, it is not
believed that any active operations
viii he started for a year at least.
The TeXlco-Coleman cutoff which
now is being pushed 70 completion will
play an important part in the pro-
posed scheme of transcontinental trait
fic. with this completed the Santa
Fe will have a direct line from the
Pacific coast gateway to Galveston, 1t
needs but little imagination to see the
effect OF such facilities when applied
to the great trade Of California.
There would be two lines reaching
New York from the Pacific-one by
a system of trackage alliances with
various lines over whose tracks it
would he necessary TO operate, n
since the object is understood To be
more in the way Of freight transport
tation than the carrying OF passen-
gers, the question arises as to the ne
costly Of such alliances when the
natural course Of the route is to he
haul from the coast To gulf and the
coastwise movement to the eastern
ports.
1t is here that the Santa Fe would
play an important part under he pro-
posed arrangement through the prop
erty held in Galveston. 1t is said to
be a very advantageous place for a
system of docks. Therefore il is sug-
gested as self-evident that the santa
Zee expects "a heavy influx of traffic
to Galveston, and II looks like advance
preparation for such conditions and
for an exceedingly aggressive eompeti-
ton with other lines FOR transconti-
mental traffic. 1t would seem that
eventually Galveston might be one of
the most strategic points on the santa
Fe system. although II may be some
time before the reported plans OF the
company become operative.
