STATE WIDE TO BE
GIVEN A SHOW.
Both Sides Gain Victories in
the Texas Primaries.

Austin, Texas, July 26-Both
Prohibitionists and anti. Prohibition
lists won in the Democratic prima-
ries in Texas. The anti Prohibition
organization nominated its candi-
date, o. B. Colquitt, for governor
by probably 10000 plurality, and
the Prohibitionists. according to the
count Of votes so far made, carried
the proposition of Statewide pro.
hibition by large majority.
The proposition as voted upon is
to make it obligatory on the part of
the Legislature to submit to vote
of the people a proposed constitu
tional amendment providing for
Statewide prohibition.
The State convention, which is to
meet at Galveston August 10, must
make this demand a part of the
platform.
1t is rumored Mr.. Colquitt will
refuse to accept this Statewide
feature of the platform,
and in that event it is said the Pro
hibition element of the party will |
put out an independent candidate
for governor.
