Colquitt won over his opponent, Judge
Ramsey, by something like 10000 ma
jority.
But it is quite evident, from the
temper and spirit of a number OF
county conventions. including our
own McLennan, that a fight for con.
troll of the state convention is to
mark the initial proceedings at San
Antonio.
In other words, Mr.. Colquitt, al.
though leading the ticket, is not to
make the platform nor name the state
chairman, provided the Ramsey men
can assemble a sufficient vote to pre-.
vent such a result.
What does this teach?
"Manifestly that it is farce comedy
for these antagonistic elements to
continue membership in the same
party.
"a break must come; that much is
written in the book of fate"

Brother Gambrell of Dallas, head of
the Anti-Saloon League in Texas, does
not endorse the liquor plank in Cone
Johnson's proposed democratic plat
form. He objects on the ground that
it is compromise of the liquor ques-
