Wasting Time at Austin.

The prohibition question is TAX
ing up so much time Of the Spec
ial session of the legislature at
Austin that the time limit is apt to
be mp before the work is done for
which the special session was call
ed. Both sides of the question
are playing politics and building
fences for future use. The pras
have charged that illegal and frau
dulent votes were cast ON July %
and the campaign committee and
pro members of the legislature are
demanding an investigation and
Gov. Colquitt seems to be anxious
for an investigation and
offers 10 employ Cone johnson
to conduct it and calls upon
Chairman Ball to furnish proof.
Now, Col. Ball and his committee
claim to be in possession of evi-
dence of illegal voting but they
will probably decline to place il

proper time. There are thousands

matter out in the legislature If
the pros have theevidences of H.

them before grand iuries and seek
