cussed was certainly his patron. may
be his friend. But his insistence had
reused a certain balky wilfulness that
would have its way. "It's true I've
never seen him" she said, but I've
read about him a hundred times in the
Sunday supplements. He's a regular
feature OF the high-roller section. His
idea Of a good time is a dog banquet
at Sherry's. Why, a girl told me once
that there vas a cigarette named after
him Vanity Valiant"
Isn't that beside the point? Be

She had taken a hasty step or two
back from him, and her eyes were now
fixed on his with a dawning half-fear-

PROHIBITION BIG ISSUE IN

GERS. Thomas II. Bell OF Houston was
the prohibition candidate for nomi.
nation for governor and James E.
Ferguson OF Temple was backed by
the wet forces.
The fight was even carried to the
contests for nomination TO the iegis-
lature, because il will be up to the
legislature in 1915 to decide whether
the people shall have another chance
to vote for or against statewide pro-
hibition. At the very top OF the bal
lots in the primaries today the voter
was given an opportunity TO vote for
or against the submission OF con-
stitutional amendment prohibiting
within this state the manufacture
sale, exchange and intrastate ship
ment Of intoxicating liquors, except
/ for medicinal and sacramental pur.
poses Even IL the drys nominate
Bell the vets have hopes OF defeating
submission by controlling the next
legislature. The referendum on the
submission question taken today wa.
intended only as guide to the demo.
cratic leaders who will draft a state
platform on August IL.
The nomination OF democratic
candidate for governor Is equivalent
TO election in Texas. The bitteres
personalities marked the campaign
