SHOEMAKERS OUT
FOR CONTRACTS
CONTEST RESULTS IN FINEST
SAMPLES OF FOOTWEAR
IN ExIsTANcE

Washington. July pa nationwide
shoe making contest, just brought to
close by the awarding of two army
contracts to the winners, produced
24O pairs of the most perfect samples
of military footgear ever manufac-
tured, according to the board of army
experts who passed upon them.
Next to the quality of the gun he
carries" said one of these army ex-
perts, more depends upon the condi-
ton of the shoe he wears than upon
any other factor that goes toward the
makeup of an effective soldier"
AS result of this feeling the Unit
ed States army quartermasters have
evolved shoe which, they say, makes
the American fighting man the bes1
shod soldier in the world
1t took over a year Df continual an,
careful experiment before satisfactor.
results were reached Countless X
ray photographs were made, the posi-
ton of the bones of the feet were
noted and the anatomy before, during
and after marches was studied and
compared. All this time different
models were tried and theories were
worked out. Finally the type of shoe
was evolved with it's straight line on
the big-toe side, it's snug instep and |
a chance for the toes to lie as freely |
and naturally as in a moccasin.
When the theory of scientifically
covering the foot had been establish
ed to the satisfaction of the army ex-
perts, various manufacturers placed |
their plants at the armys disposal in |
the hope they would be rewarded with |
the valuable contracts to supply the
5000 pairs worn out in a years |
for Uncle Sam.
But the quartermaster corps did not
limit itself to single firm. They
worked out system of having each
firm submit sample of what it could
do. Two pairs of shoes were offered
by each bidder, showing the manu-
facturer's ability to meet specifica-
tions. 7e i
The 240 prize pairs of shoes were
the result, and out of these are being
selected the standard for the army's
future footwear.

PROHIBITION IS
ISSUE IN
TEXAS
GU8ERNAToRIAL RACE cENTERs
AROUND FIGHT OF VETS
AND DRYS

Dallas, Tex, July 24-On the eve
of the Texas democratic primary at the
end of one of the most interesting and
bitterly fought campaigns ever con.
Quoted in this state, each of the fac
items and candidates expresses conf
Gence and an unusually heavy vote is
anticipated tomorrow.
Nominees for state offices from gov
ernor to constable are to be selected
with prohibition the principal issue.
Congressional nominees also will be
selected.
The race for the gubernatorial no
mination started last spring with 23
entries. This number was reduced
practically to two by the process of
elimination. The two are Thomas n
Ball of Harris county, the standard
bearer Of the prohibitionists ana Jas.
Fl. Ferguson of Bell county, who is the
choice of the anti-prohibi;.on element.
Leopold Morris of Victoria appears on
the ballot as candidate for he nomi-
nation, but he is not regarded as a fac
tor in the contest.
Statewide prohibition is practically
the sole issue in the gubernatorial
contest. notwithstanding the fact that
the governor is without jurisdiction in
the matter except to veto legislation.
The prohibitionists want prohibition
governor in order to insure that a pro-
hibition act passed by the legislature
may become law The "wets" would
elect an anti-prohibition governor in
the hope that such an act if passed
by the legislature might be killed by
the gubernatorial veto.
Mr.. Ball was selected as the prohi
bition candidates at an elimination con-
vention, the members of which regard
ed him as the strongest of those who
were in the field for the nomination.
He has good political record and has
been on the popular side in regards to
all of the prominent reform measures
adopted in Texas. He is loyal dem
ocrat and was a leader of the Wilson
forces at the Baltimore convention
James K. Ferguson. the choice of the
anti-prohibitionists for governor, is a
banker and farmer of Temple. He has
wide acquaintance throughout the
state and has long taken an active
interest in politics. His candidacy,
however,is believed to be somewhat
weakened by the fact that he was not |
he first choice of many who have
heretofore been directing the anti-pro-
libition fight in Texas politics Mr..
political opponents also
lccuse him Of favoring certain reforms
hat SAVIOR strongly to socialism.
The advocates of statewide prohibit
ion feel so certain of the outcome of
he election both as to governor and
he members of the legislature that
steps already have been taken to have
the proposition of submitting an
to the state constitution
for statewide prohibition re-
'erred to another vote of the people.
Petitions asking that this question be
made platform demand Of the party
and action thereon obligatory on the
part of the next legislature have been
circulated all over the state.
1t is said that Governor Colquitt is
much disturbed over the prospects of

ton Of the party to power would dis
appear all prospects of MIR. Colquiti
realizing his long-cherished ambition
TO succeed Charles A. Culberson in the
United States senate. The elevation
of Mr.. Ball to the governorship would
mean that the latter would be the most
logical candidate to succeed Mr.. Gull
berson.
Next to the governorship the most
spirited contest in the primaries is for
the nomination for lieutenant governor.
Five aspirants are in the field for this
nomination. Other places to be filled
on the state ticket are those of attor.
Eey general, state treasurer, commits
sioner of agriculture, railroad commits.
sioner, general land commissioner,
comptroller of public accounts, state
superintendent of public instruction,
and justices of the state supreme court
and the court of criminal appeals.
Practically all of the present mem
bers of the Texas delegation in the
national house of representatives are
assured of denomination and re-elec-
ion. For the nomination for congress
nan at large the names of IL aspir-
ints will appear on the primary bal
