Vaughan Conceded Defeat
Horace w. Vaughan, in the First
congressional district. has conceded
the nomination of Eugene Black of
GAINESVILLE as congressman from the
First district by a majority Of 454
votes Congressman Vaughan is the
only Texas congressman who was de
feated for denomination out of the
eleven who had opposition
Chief Justice Wilson has been re-
turned to the Texarkana court of civil
appeals. II. H. Buck with 1851 votes
is leading Ocie Speer with 1915 in
the Fort Worth appellate district
Complete returns probably will be nee
essary to determine the result.
Ferguson's Lead 1888.
With returns complete and incom-
plote from 227 counties, James Z. Fer
susons lead is 1888.
In q complete counties his majority
is more than 1900. w. p Hobby,
whose lead for lieutenant governor
at one time ran as high as 1900,
closed in the compilation of totals
with a lead of 1929 over his oppo-
nent, B. b. Sturgeon. Some of the
counties i'm which substantial returns
from the lieutenant governors race
are lacking and in which there is any
large amount of votes cast are Cor
yell. Hopkins and Limestone. Other
returns missing are from very small
counties Ferguson has carried Cass,
Coryell and Limestone counties and
it would appear that Hobby should
hold up fairly well with a lead, though
his race is indeed close one.
McLemore and Davis.
Jeff McLemore is without doubt con
gresham at large for place No. l.
Every total struck Tuesday has indi-
Gated that J. II. CCyclone) Davis will
be in place No. 2. He is now leading
Dan Garrett by more than 1000 votes
The returns on the congressman at
large contest are so scattering that it
is indeed difficult to overcome such a
lead.
Submission is evidently defeated by
something around 10000 votes. It
would appear that the total vote cast
will rot run much greater than 400,
coo. even should it succeed in getting
past that point.
II would appear from the returns
gathered that the total vote will be
right around 100000 in the recent pri-
mary, a vote much lighter than was
anticipated by many in view of heavy
poll tax increase in Texas for the year
The control of the Texas senate will
go to the prohibtionists. Hobart Key
comedies defeat in the Eighth district
10 his prohibition opponent, Lon A.
Smith. This will give the pros sixteen
members in the senate and the ants
fifteen. II. B. Terrell, an anti nomi-
mated for comptroller. will resign his
seat. He is an anti and the pros will
make an effort to elect his successor
from the Waco district, which is close
on that issue The ants will find it
necessary to make a strong fight TO
hold the IS to 10 vote.
Results Given in Harris County.
The following were the winners for
Harris County offices.
District Attorney-John II. Crooker.

gust HaXthausen, Sam II. Dixon aud
