LIQUOR ISSUE AGAIN
 TIP IN TEX

Democrats of Texas in a primary election next Saturday will nominate a state ticket and members of the leg islature, one United States senator and sixteen representatives in con gross. The campaign now nearing it's close has been the most spirited that the Lone Star state has experienced in years. Nominations for all places on the ticket are considered equivalent to election.
 All of the members of the present delegation in congress are seeking re- nomination with the exception of Robert L. Henry, of the Eleventh dis trict, who is a candidate for the United States senatorial nomination. Each of the congressional candidates has opposition with the exception of Young of the Third district, Summers of the Fifth, Buchanan of the Tenth, Slayden of the Fourteenth, and Gar ner of the Fifteenth district.
 Several of the men most prominent in Texas public life are entered as candidates for the United States senatorship. Senator Charles A. Gull person, now nearing the close of his third terra, is candidate for re- nomination. His chief opponents are former Governor Oscar B. Colquitt, former Governor Tom Campbell, Con- gressman Robert L. Henry, and Dr. s. F. Brooks, president of Baylor uni versity.
 The contest for the governorship has been heated between James E. Ferguson, the incumbent, and Charles H. Morris, of Winnsboro. Supporters of Governor Ferguson believe he is certain of reelection by large ma jority His success will probably mean that he will be candidate for United States senator two years hence.
 The fate of most of the candidates is closely interwoven with the prohi- bition issue, which has been the big question in nearly every Texas cam paign in recent years. In the coming primary the question of resubmitting the prohibition issue will again be put up to the voters for decision. If the majority of the votes cast are in favor of submission the legislature will be expected to obey the mandate of the party. In the event the joint resolu- ton submitting the proposed amend ment to the constitution to the vote of the people is passed by the legislature it is probable that the election on the proposition will be held some time in the latter part of next year.
 Statewide prohibition, by constitu- tional amendment, has been voted on twice in Texas, and defeated each time. Submission has been voted on three times, twice ordered and once re- Ased,sf
 7tThe statewide prohibition constitu- tional amendment was voted on n 1887, at which time it was defeated by vote of 129,270 for prohibition and .22O, ,627 against it.
 In, 1908 the question of submission was placed on the primary ballot and

Be SUBMITTED

Franklin X. Lane, secretary of the
interior, has determined to submit es-
Inmates to congress for the King Hill
Project. This interesting information

Or in telegram from Congressman

j. p. ShaWhan, manager for the pro
1ect, go to Washington to explain in
detail to the appropriations committee
the necessity for the money being APP
propriated.
Congressman Smiths telegram to
the governor says:
Secretary Lane has finally deter
mined to submit es mates to congress
covering this tKing Hill project and
we hope the Black Canyon, Bruneau,

be here to make detailed explanation

The state land board will consider
the advisabilty of sending Manager
Shawhan back to Washington to APP
pear before the committee. TIE Carey
net fund is practically exhausted and
for that reason the board is financially
handicapped. Some of the members
believe, however, that action should
be taken to provide funds, dependent
upon the next legislature reimburse
ment. Mr. ShaWhan went back east
Rfter the government engineers made
their report and went over II detail the
affairs of the project with interior
department officials. He also had a

MECHANICS LIEN A
PRIORITY RIGHT TO
AUTO, HOLDS COURT

Judge d. T. Miller in justice court
this afternoon held that mechanics
lien on any article held priority right
over all other claims. His judgment
was given when passing on the case
of Bryant & Son versus H. A. Mott,
which was argued before him. Judge
Miller contended that as Burnap rep
resented to Mott that he was the owner
Of the car on which repairs we're
made and that he had been driving the
car about and to all outward appear
ances was the owner, that Mott had a
right To assume he was the owner
when he ordered the repairs made and
therefore had the right to hold the
car under the mechanics lien law. The
court issued an order for its return to
him by Bryant & Son. who seized it,
claiming ownership for the reason that
the car had not been paid for by the
man to whom conditional sale was
made.

a motion offered by Governor Alexan-
der this morning to turn water into

the Dietrich end of the tract could have

the grounds that some of the board

might do a great deal of damage.
Manager Rays of the company and
j. L. Bradley representing the Farmers
Protective league, an organization of
land owners on the project. were pres

board. 1t was represented by Mr..
Bradley that the settlers need the

was turned into the canals they agreed
to see that the canals were not dam

stated that there was serious danger of

PRESIDENT SILENT;
KNEW OF STATEMENT
Secretary of State Says He
Only Expressed Opinion
in Speech, but Quotation
From Interview Shows He
Made Emphatic State
ment.

During the campaign it was widely
reported that President Brannon Of the
state university would resign if Gov
ernor Alexander was reelected. That
report started with an interview by
Secretary of State George r. Barker in
the Lewiston Tribune of Friday, Octo-
Der 10.
1t is stated on reliable authority that
President Brannon was at Lewiston
when the interview was printed and did
not deny that it represented his posi-
ton.
Later President Brannon was critl-
cised for having put the university in
to politics through his silent indorse-
ment of the generally circulated Bar
ker interview, and the Capital News
urged that he rc4ign in view of the
situation unless e could conclusively
show that the B;rker statement was
wholly unauthorized.
DENIED BY SECRETARY.
Secretary Barker, on his return from
the north Monday gave out a state
ment in which he denied that he had
said in his Lewiston speech" that
Brannon would resign the presidency
Of the state university if Governor
Alexander were reelected to office,
but that in that speech he had merely
given it as his opinion that Brannon
would quit in that event.
BARKER SAID r. IN INTERVIEW.
The Capital News today wired the
Lewiston Tribune for a statement as
to what the secretary of state had
said and whether it was in an inter-
view or a speech.
The Tribune replied that it printed
an interview with Barlter on Oct. 10.
The opening paragraph was as fol-
lows.
1T is no seeret that Alexander's
re ELECTION will mean the immedi-
ate resignation of President
Brannon from the state universe
III and the loss to this state of his
great constructive ability at Ida
hos important seat of learning.
president 8rannon will follow
in the footsteps of yo'-s own Pres
ident Black if he shall feel that
the voters of the state give en-
dorsement to the present COVER
nor's program of Gripping the
st te's institutions of lear ing. To
brag that he has saved a million
dollars he has been willing to set
back the march of progress in an
educational way, and broad mind
cd men of the type of President
Brannon have 10 remain in a back
ward and non progressive state.
The state Of Idaho has taken
pardonable pride in the normal at
Lewiston and the university at
Moscow. The question more than
any otter question, ii appears to
me, before the voters in this cam
paign is whether or not they shall
decide to go backward or forward
in regard to these two vital insti-
tutions."
