majority as well as the house of rep
resentatives. This would give either
prohibition or submission easy sailing.
There are also a number of vacancies
in the house which will be filled on
that date but these elections will not
change the complexion OF the body.
The special session is generally con-
sidered to be a club to be held over
the state in case Colquitt is nominated,
and to mean that his election by the
Democrats Will mean an attempt to
make the state of Texas dry before he
has an opportunity to assume the Of
flee
Another factor initiating against his
election is the fact that all challenged
voters must take oath that they will
support the Democratic nominee before
they will be permitted to vote in the
primary.
Prohibition Forces Combine.
The Johnson, Poindexter and David
son forces are combining in such coun-
ties as Bexar county, Travis county,
Harris county and other large counties
and will have men at sne polls who will
challenge every voter who offers to
vote It is believed that this will ex-
clude at least 25 percent of the voters
who would otherwise participate in
such counties.
that IS that the legislature will imme-
diately repeal that section of the Ter
rell election law which permits a plu-
rality vote at the primary and restores
the clause which requires a majority
vote, and where there is not a majority
vote the convention would have the
power to select. This would mean that
none Of the candidates now in the race
could be nominated a the primaries and
That the convention would never nomin-
ate Co1quitt.
This law could be so amended before
the primary on July % with the emery
ency clause and go into effect imme-
diately. That would have the effect de-
sired hv the governor.
Under present conditions it looks as
if the calling of the special session
might have a decided effect on the race
for governor and that it is most likely
TO effect unfavorably the candidacy of
COlquitt.

If Mexican anti-Diaz activities re-

there is activity here in a political way

Under the guise of an ordinary po-
