TEXAS PRIMARIES FIGHT
BETWEEN VETS AND DRYS
speoIal bp Unlted press Voc.


Dallas, Texas. Aug. 25:--Indlvidual-
ity will be largely lost sight of tomor=
row In the run off primaries for the
Democratic nomination for United
States Senator. Tomorrow's balloting
will be battle between wet and dry
forces. with odds favoring the latter,
politicians say.
Senator Charles Culberson and o. B.
Colquitt former governor, are the
principals in today's voting. In the
regular Democratic primaries July 26
Culberson got $4,000 votes to Colquitt's
107, ,000 and the present Job holder
only beat DR.. S. p. Brooks. former
president of Baylor University, by
about 5000. But the nomination fight
even then had resolved itself into a
prohibition and anti-prohibition issue.
with Colquitt admittedly favoring the
antis and Culberson and Brooks the
pros. The prohibition vote split on
its two candidates.
Submission of prohibition at a gen.
eral election to follow the next ses-
sion of the Legislature, carried in the
primaries The drys are expected to
unite behind Culberson and despite his
defeat by Colquitt in the first primaries
he is admitted by politicians to have
the better of IT "on paper"

WAR VETERANS GATHER
At KANSAS CITY TODAY
Special by United Press Wire.

Kansas City, Mo, Aug. 25:-The
vanguard of Civil War veterans began
flocking into this city today for the
fiftieth national encampment of the
Grand Army of the Republic, which
opens here tomorrow.
Hotel lobbies were alive with war
talks and the boys of '61 did not seem
to think it would be perhaps their last
encampment, as many of the young
sters" thought.
Boy scouts mingled with the grey
haired warriors of Gettysburg and
Shilo. The lads In khaki acted as
escorts and otherwise busted them
selves in the interests of the visitors.
Practically every building in the
downtown section was decorated with
the national colors and the usual well
come" signs.
There seemed to be much specula-
ton today as to the number OF vet
Grams that would march in the great
parade Wednesday. Every old soldier
already here insists he will be In line
when the bugle starts the procession.

A GREAT NEWSPAPER.

''The Philadelphia Record" has huns
dreds of regular readers who live far
beyond the bounds of the wide terri-
tory which 1t particularly aims to
serve. Not long ago the management
of THE Record" addressed an inquiry
to some of these distant readers ask
ing them why they prefer .sThc Rec
ord to other prominent newspapers
published nearer to their homes Here
is a typical reply:
Because / regard your admirable
Journal as a fit newspaper for all the
members of the home and domestic
circle. 1t is comprehensive in it's
scope, educational, on-sensational, ju-
dicious, fair, and, what is most conf
mendable, clear and intelligible to the
average as well as the most cultured
mind. Moreover. in Its arrangement
of news topics, foreign, domestic, state
and local, religious and secular, every
item or topic may be so easily lo-
Gated. / have often observed in hand
ing my copy to friend how quickly
the attention of the reader becomes
fixed, showing that The Record" Is
not merely provincial or local in its
scope, but satisfying to the wants OF
the general reader"
The qualities which give 'The PHIL
adelphia Record precedence over
other big city dailies In their own
fields make 1t doubly attractive to
| readers in the territory to which It's
news columns devote especial atten-
ton. The intelligent public demands
character and backbone as well as en-
terprise and alertness Of journalisnas
