CHICAGO. Aug. 2l.-H. T.. Nc
Gregor, Republican national commit
teeman from Texas, told those in
charge of the western Republican
campaign headquarters tina. he be
heNed there was a possibility of
Hughes and Fairbanks carrying Tex
as in November.
There is no question but that the
sentiment among the voters OF Texas
is opposed to the administration OF
president Wilson" said Mr.. Nc
GreGor. II this sentiment were reg
iStercd at the polls there is no ques-
ton but that Mr. Hughes would carry
the state There is no certainty, of
course, that this will be done, al
though there is a possibility of it.
The people OF Texas are especially
dissatisfied with the Democratic ad-
mlnlStration beCausue of its Mexican
policy. Mr.. Hughes statement of
that policy is regarded as bciNg emf
ncntly fair and correct Living on
the border as we do. the people of
Texas have had an opportunity &c
observe the actual working out of
that policy.
The sentiment among the Demo
cratic voters of the state was eX-
pressed in the recent primary vote
on candidates for senator when for
mcr Governor Colquitt, who has Wig
orousiy opposed President Wilson's
Mexican policy, was the highest man
on the ticket. This vote is regarded as
significant when it is remembered
that Texas has three members
President Wilson's cabinet. Another
significant feature of the situation
was that only about 40 per cent OF
the Democratic vote was registered
in the primary Texas, of course, has
always been rock-ribbed Democrat
iC state, and its possible inclusion in
the Republican column seems almost
incredible, but it Will be well for po-
litical observers to keep their eyes on
Texas in this campaign"

Special to The World,

"A Jacob Tingley shot and instantly
killed Harry Overholzer and wounded
Mrs Overholzer as the two sat in an
automobile in the residence section OF

amputated. She will recover.
Tingley recently had been aband-
Oned by his wife, since when he had
accused Mr. and Mrs Overholzer of
interfering with "A reconciliation. To-
night, after the Overholzers had taken
an automobile ride into the country
and had stopped for "A visit at the
home of friends, Tingley stepped from
the shadow OF "A tree and fired point
blank at OverholZer, who sank back
in his seat dead, the bullet having
penetrated his brain. Tingley then
fired at Mrs. Overholzer, the bullet
taking off three fingers and mangling
the fourth. Tingley then disappeared
in the darkness, but Is thought to
have gone directly to the police sta
ton, as he was being taken to Chick
asha when an angry mob surrounded
the Jail ostensibly with the intention
of dealing summarily with the
prisoner.
Efforts to find Mrs. Tingley have
thus far proved unavailing, although
the police have searched diligently
for her. Residents of the vicinity of
the house where she was staying de-
clared they had seen nothing of her
since early evening and did not know
her Whereabouts.
The Overholzers recently came to
Anadarko to visit relatives. Tingley
was proprietor of an Indian curio
shop here. The Overholzers and
Tingleys were not related.
