HOUSTON. TEXAS. July s.--Juiy %.
the people of Texas vote on the Ques-
ton of Statewide prohibition. has been
torn by compaigH, which IL growing
more bitter az the date OF election APP
proaches Both the prohibitionfsts and
the ants are claiming the election by
big fpajorities, the antis advancing
figures based on a State wide canvas
on which they claim victory by no.
000
The bitterness Of the campaign has
injected personalities aud the battles
Of the Democratic primary and election
last year are being lived over again
In this campaign. I'm that election the
present governor .. b. Colauitt, known
as the wet" candidate. was elected
hy heavy majority over two prohi-
billion aspirants. However at the same
time heavy vote favoring the submits
sion of the liquor question was poIled.
This paradoxical situation has made
impossible the forecast as to the tide
OF sentiment, the only solution prob
ably being in the fact that although
ColQuitt was the majority choice for
governor the people OF Texas wish the
liquor question settled this year--but
how?
Naturally Governor Colquitt is a
pronounced adherent OF the cause of
the ants. for his views were made
clear In his campaign, but notwith-
standing this recently he was petition
ed by 900 women Of Austin not to
speak at an anti prohibition meeting to
be held the following night. at which
he was scheduled to be the principal
orator.
II ke-pctfttor VIE subHfftcd shortly
after o'clock one evening, just as
the governor was preparing to close
his office. One Of the fair petitioners
appeared as spokeswoman who present
ed the paper in the name Of the moth
ers and sisters Of Travis county" The
governor respectfully read the petition
through. then reached in q bottom
drawer of his desk and produced e.
cory of speech by General Sam Hous-
ton, .'The Washington OF Texas
made in 1895 to a delegation OF minis
ters who asked him to support pro-
hibition law. General Sam Houston
refused. putting himself ON record as
unalterably opposed to Statewide pro-
I hibition.
After quoting from this speech Gov
ernor Colquitt declared he saw no rea :
son why through the medium OF
| churches his right OF free speech
( should be curbed. He said his views
! on the prohibition question are well
| known. 81 stand for local option" de-
| clared the governor. "but should pro-
| hibition be carried / will do all in my
power to enforce the law throughout
! the State"
/ One OF his fair petitioners under
/ took to convince the governor OF the
| error OF his ways, declaring her belief
| that 1.-THE governors office should not
| be used to further the cause OF private
| interests. The governor remained firm,
however, and announced he would
speak as scheduled.
| After a moment Of silence one Of the
/ women kneit a few feet from the gov
errors chair and prayed. Her sup
plication hesought divine forgiveness
| for the States executives acts and ask
ed that he might see the error OF his
ways. With this climax the delegation
| departed.
