Plan of Pros and Ants in Texas Seems
To Be to Eliminate All But One
Man For Each Office.

Man FOR GaASA C-A-NCs
Austin, Tex, Feb. 4--That some
so,t of a plan is soon to be launched
by the ants in the state looking to
the general elimination of the SUI
perflous number of candidates and
the subsequent centering upon one
candidate for the governorship, now
appears to be almost certain.
Just how this process of elimina-
ton is to be accomplished, and who
will be selected as the logical man
to head the Democratic ticket from
the point of view of the ants, has not
as vet been disclosed.
This plan of centering upon one
candidate on the part of the pros.
and likely also by the ants, may not
sion at the contest for the cover
norship. but is likely to extend to
practically ali of the state offices.
Already. Chas. B. White, one of the
pro candidates has put the matter up
to the prohibition committee CHAIR

rived here on January 9Th. put the
fugitives in irons and intended to take

federal authorities. amounted to an
extradition OF prisoner without re-
course to the federal courts.
Captain Kirschfeldt. In refusing to
turn the immigrants over to the Ellis

He is determined, however, that the
