SHERMAN To RUN
AGAIN FOR PLACE
Little Opposition to Renomina
tion EXpected-W. E. Ma
son May Enter Race.

Chicago, ILL.,, June 11.-Senator Law
renee Y. Sherman's petitions for re
nomination at the republican primar-
les were started over the state yester-
day. George E. Keys, at the head of
the Sherman downstate campaign, is
in charge of the petition business.
There has been no doubt that the sen
ator would be a candidate for reelec-
ton, although he had not made formal
announcement to such effect.
1t is not known that former Senator
William E. Mason will file a petition,
Notwithstanding his announcement
from Galesburg several weeks ago that
he expected to be in the race. Carl c.
Countryman of Buda is the only other
suggested republican candidate.
Everything looks fine for Sher-
man. Mr.. Keys said at Springfield.
I'VE have been conducting an ener-
getic preliminary campaign and have
found that there is little or no opposi-
ton to Senator Sherman within the
party ranks"
The report was around Springfield
yesterday that Speaker William Nc
Kinley will not seek reelection to the
house of representatives from
the Thirty-first or Lake View district,
and is expecting to seek the demo
cratic nomination for probate judge.

Brandagee, Republican, in
Long Defense of Viii

BATTLE GROWS BITTER
Simmons-NorriS Amendment Is
Adopted by Senate by a
Vote o. so to "a.

Washington, D. c., June 11.-votine

the Panama tolls exemption clause
was halted in the senate today while
Brandagee, republican, made a long
speech in favor of tae Dill, There was
prospects OF other long speeches be-
fore voting will begin on repeal itself
They promised to lengthen the session
into the night, and Majority Leader
Kern planned to hold the senate in ses-
sion until vote was reached.
Administration leaders reiterated
they had votes to hold the measure
intact, as it now stands, with the
Norris-Simmons compromise amend
ment, and pointed to the record of
votes of yesterday to sustain their
contention.
In the debate today reminders of
charges of the relation between repeal
and the foreign policy of the United
States were not lacking and many OBJ
servers looked upon the fight draw
ing to close as one of the most bit
ter contests within the democratic
party. Root, republican, whose abb

compromise amendment, was the sub
ject of remark, returned to his seat
today to vote for repeal.
First Test Vote Taken.
Early last evening the senate adopt
ed the Simmons Norris amendment,
qualifying the repeal bill. by a vote Of
so to "a. This was the first test vote
after six weeks of debate on the
bill. Even the most optimistic sena-
tors who favored repeal had not ex-
pected the amendment to carry by so
large a majority. 1t is not believed,
however, that the bill itself can be put
through by so great a margin.
Nine democratic senators, Ashurst,
OGorman, Pomerene,. Rams
dell, Reed, Shields, Walsh and Will
Iiams, voted against the amendment.
Several of these, however, are expect
ed to vote for the repeal bill, while
several republicans who supported the
are expected to line up
against the bill.
The Simmons-Norris amendment
would provide that 1.-The passage OF

To Force Vote on Prohibition.

SOME HISTORY ON N|LLA-CARRANzA TROUBLE
Travellers Reaching Laredo Tell Of
Action of Fifteen GeneraIs-They
Would Fight for Villa.

Laredo, TeX-Fifteen generals Of
the oonstltutionalist army, command
ing a combined force estimated at 30
600 men, renowned General CarranZa
as first chief" Of the constitutional
list movement in note sent to his
headquarters at the time General Villa
resigned a few days ago. General
Villa did not sign the communication.
This and other details suppressed by
rigid censorship at Saltillo became
known at the border Saturday with the
arrival of travellers from Saltillo and
Monterey.
The communication, it was authori-
tatiVely said, informed the man who
has been the leader of the constitu-
tionalist movement since its inception,
that the generals would continue to
fight against Huerta, but would hold
themselves subject to General Villas
orders and would not recognize Car
rama.
The plan of Guadalupe, on which the
constitutionalist campaigns have been
based, provides that the first chief of
the constitutionalist army should re-
main at the head of the movement as
provisional president after Huerta had
been eliminated until an election had
been held and the result voiced.
Hitherto Carranza has been undis-
puted first chief. What effect on the
future of the movement the fact that
the largest and most powerful single
unit OF that army has denied him that
title and authority will have, can not
yet be learned, according to the travel
ers, They said the CarranZa forces
apparently planned to go ahead as
though the incident had never happen
ed. Pedro Gonzales, it is said, will
attack San Luis Potosi at once while
Villa is taking zacatecas, and then
move southwark according to the orig
inal plan, with Villa advancing from
the center and Obregon from the west.

OPINION GIVEN ON STATE SCHOOL TAXES
Majority and Not Two-Thirds Vote Is
What Law Requires Necessary to
Levy Maintenance Tax.

Austin, Tex-State Superintendent
of Instruction w. F. Doughty received
this week from the attorney generals
department an opinion which will be
schools of this State. In this opinion
the attorney general has so construed
that part of the constitution which
pertains to the required majority of a
vote necessary to levy maintenance
tax to mean that only majority vote
rather than tWo-thirds majority vote
is necessary in all school districts To-
Gated in this State, whether independ-
ent or common. The opinion holds
that article II, section 10, of the con-
stitution is superseded by section 8 of
article 7.
This opinion is based upon a decis-
ion of the supreme court and con-
strues the requirements which have
heretofore made it necessary for a
tWo-thirdS vote to be cast in some
hundred or more independent districts.
BY this opinion all school districts
throughout this State may by a ma
jority vote levy maintenance tax for
the support of the schools, or in vot-
ing bond issue. There are one hun
dred or more Independent school dis
tricts which have been placed under
the control and authority of the city
or towns in which the schools are To-
Gated. This opinion will be especially
helpful to them in that hereafter only
a majority vote for the purpose of
levying school taxes is necessary.
