although he approved the bill whic h
provided for a second primary In case
no candidate received a majority OF
all votes cast in the first primary, ard
he set up the claim that he should
not be opposed In the second primary.
The second man in the first primary

promised to observe the wishes of his
party In the State in his vote on ma
uonal prohibition. The dry vote quite
naturally all went to Culberson and
Colquitt was defeated.

was the open hostility OF Colquitt to

tom Texas has always been a Will
son stronghold and this contributed
to the defeat of Colquitt. Tho result.
however, might have been different
had 1t not been for Colquitts radical
and uncompromising hostility to pro-
hibition.

vote in the Senate assured and a good
