CHEATED OUT OF MILLION
~Uen Is the View Taken by the SUI
per'ntendent Of Public Instrue-
s'on' Who Refers to the sehoIss-
tic Showing.

An immediate recount orrevision of
the population of Texas is declared
que the state by some high officials
and others at Austin.
1t Is freely expressed that a serions
error has been made and an Injustice
done to Texas and that a recount will
snow the state has approximate a
population OF 5000, 900.
Governor Campbell said: 1.-THE fip-
ures are very disappointing and am
conndent revision will show a. mis-
take has been made, as there are few
communities that will not show a
greater percentage of increase than
the fnal average given u.s."
Secretary of State Townsend satd:
i am surprised to see such low far
nres given of Texas population, It
mas always been estimated that the
population Of Texas was nearer five
million than the ignres given. am
In favor of revision of those fig
ures."
State Superintendent of Education
bradley said; ut is shame. By &C
sual calculation, based on the number
OF scholastics in Texas, there should
De not less than 4, 357, 900 people in
Texas. These figures are reached by
nguring the scholastic population at
BOB, 900. We have been cheated out of
nearly q million people"
Commissioner of Agriculture Kone
said: There 10 something wrong with
those figures. A mistake has been
made and believe an immediate revis-
Ion should be urged at once"

with the purpose of securing evidence;
that the fact that the defendant was
acting as the agent for the buyer did
not render him not guilty, as has been
