ELECTION IN TEXAS
MAY BE CONTESTED

Dallas, July 25.-The last stepin the
unofficial count showing victory fol
the anti-prohibitionists in Saturday IS
statewide prohibition election came
overnight. The widely differing counts
of various newspapers and of the state
wide headquarters ON each side came
to nearly unanimous agreement upon
from 5000 to 5000 as the anti-prohibi-
ton majority.
Saturdays meeting of the statewide
campaign committee in Fort Worth is
expected to determine whether the
prohibitionists will contest the election
in the courts or lay plans for another
election on the statewide issue. No
call for another submission election can
be issued before the next regular ses-
sion of the Legislature, which is not
until January, 1918. Before that time
there will have been an election of all
state officers and members of the legis-
ldture.
The present legislature is "prohi bI-
ton by small majority in both
house0and senate.
One of the surprises of the election
was the fact that Dallas county includ-
ing the city of Dallas went "wet " by
about 200 majority.

valid act But the court said that the
authorities seemed to hold this act to
be valid. The supreme court did say,
however, that the contestants had nc
case in the court for the reason that,
the act being constitutional, if the ac,
ton of the legislature with the quorum
in one house being absent in selecting
the men was not valid the men then
hold good title by being elected by the
comptroller, secretary of state and
treasurer, as the act provides.
The act provides that vacancy
made by the resignation of one men,
her shall be filled by the other MEM
bers until the next session of the legis-
lature The act also provides that
when more than one vacancy occurs
they can be filled by the comptroller,
secretary of state and treasurer until
the converting of the next legislature.
Dibrell then is acting on the assump-
ton that the only color of title the men
had for the office was the election by
the comptroller, secretary of state and
treasurer. He evidently holds that the
election by the legislature was not valid.
The action of the recent legislature in
attempting to elect Stratton to succeed
Tigrett has been declared waived by
the attorney general. The legislature
did not proceed further.
Dibrell now holds that the legisla-
ture having adjourned without acting,
that the offices become vacant and that
it is necessary for him and his two col
leagues to elect the three commission
ers to hold office until the converting
of the next legislature.
If the supreme court holds that the
election in 1909 by the Legislature was
valid the three members will hold office
until another legislature should elect
their successors. If the legislature does
not elect their successors, they would
hold on until some legislature elects
them, and would not leave the office
until they voluntarily resigned.
Dibrell holds the first board to be the
creation of himself and his colleagues.
There is limit to the term of such
boards set out in the act The are elect
ed only to the converting of the legis-
lature.
The legislature having failed to elect,
then Dibrell and his colleagues appoint
another board until the next session.
If the supreme court had passed upon
the validity of the first election held by
the legislature, this present situation
would not have arisen.-Commercial-
Appeal.

received an offer from the Washington
Americans of 81, 500 for "Home Run"
Cochrane, center fielder for the local
aggregation. The local club wired
back that it was holding Cochrane al
$4,000.
Cochrane has knocked seven home
runs this season, getting them in
Knoxville, Morristown and Bristol.
He is at present the heaviest hitter On
the local team while his fielding has
been sensational and faultless. He has
starred in many long chances. He is
an alumnus of Clemson college and
several of the hig leagues are after him
but it will require $4,000 to wean him
away from the locals.

THE ELECTION MIDDLE.

In their appointment of election
commissioners Dibrell and Taylor are
acting on the theory that these offices
are vacant, and that they are making
the appointments until the next regu-
lar session Of the legislature.
The right to do this will be disputed.
They will have lawsuit.
Lawsuits about politics are not new
in Tennessee. The struggle for political
control goes on and will continue to be
fight between factions until the peo-
pie themselves take charge of their own
election machinery.
In 1909 an act was passed providing
for an election commission of three
people, to be elected by the Legislature
in joint convention. Gov. Patterson
vetoed the bill on the ground that ap-
pointing of the election commissioners
was the work of the administrative
part of the government. The bill was
passed over his veto.
A resolution was then passed fixing
q certain date on which the commits
sioners were to be elected in joint con-
vention. Gov. Patterson vetoed this
resolution.
Previous to the date of the election
the senate quorum was broken. What
was left of the senate and the house
did convene and the result was the
election of Young, Maynard and Tig-
rett.
The validity of the election was ques-
toned because a quorum of the senate
was not present, and also because of
the veto of the resolution by the gov
ernor.
Later on the secretary of state, the
treasurer and the comptroller, acting
on the assumption that there was a
question as to the volidity of the elec-
ton by the legislature, did elect the
three men until the next meeting of
the legislature, as the law provides.
Then the case was taken into court
by Richardson and others, who had
been appointed by the governor. The
chancellor sustained the act and it went
to the supreme court.
The supreme court did decide that
the act was constitutional. The su-
preme court did not say absolutely
that the act of the joint assembly with
q quorum of one house absent was a
