NO CONTEST
IN THE COURTS
Prohibition Conference So De-
cides on Saturday.
GO BEFORE PEOPLE AGAIN
among Reasons Giveu Is That the
Election Returns In Some of
the Counties Were Delayed Too
Long to Investigate Effectively.

At the conference of prohibitionists
held in Dallas Saturday composed of
members of the state committee re-
port brought in by subcommittee
declaring against contest of the re-
cent constitutional amendment election
in the courts, but declaring that the
matter should again be submitted to
the people, was adopted by unanimous
vote.
Among other things the report said
the election returns WEIR unreasonably
delayed in certain sections, where the
prohibitionists had practically no rep
resentation. It also stated that while
there were Irregularities, they we're
only those that were incident to near
~ all statewide elections. In this con-
nection the report says; I'VE con-
clude that no contest of the election
could reasonably be considered upon
actual fraud committed in holding the
election and making the returns.
However, the Subcommittee stated
it had abundant evidence that the Ii
quor interests entered into a conspi-
racy to secure the payment,of large
number of poll tax payments. 1t was
stated that the present Jaw afforded
an easy avenue for law violators. 1t
was claimed that in somecases deputy
tax collectors were paid by the liquor
Interests to go out into the country to
collect on poll taxes.
The report concludes by saying that
a court contest will cost large sum
and the only contest will be before the
people again.
