TFrom the Houston Post.l

In the race for congressman at
large. the Post has revised its tabula-
ton by comparing the figures pub
lished in the various newspapers ana
accepting those which appear to be
the most complete, comparison being
made with the vote received by other
candidates in the same counties. It's
own figures have been taken as the
basis and where correspondents have
reported figures as complete they have
been permitted to stand; where the
Posts tabulation lacked any figures
or where those presented by other
papers (the Dallas News. the Fort
Worth Record, the San Antonio Elk
press being referred to herein) ap'
peared to be more complete they were
taken. No further figures were avail
able from correspondents for the rea'
son that the chairmen in many coun.
ties have locked up the returns and
will not open them until Saturday.
The result obtained by this com
| oo,;ta tohulation is as follows.
