TEXAS PREPAR|NG c FOR
PRIMARY ELECTIONS

Austin, Texas, July 21.-Preparauons
virtually are completed for the Texas
Democratic primary election to be held
throughout the state Saturday, July
"a, according to information received
here. The official ballots have been
prepared and distributed to the various
county chairmen and the machinery
is in good working order.
Main interest OF the primary cleo
tion centers on the multiplicity of can.
didates for the offices of governor and
lieutenant governor, there being four
candidates for the former and five
for the latter.
According to political observers here
it is almost certain it will be necessary
to have a second primary to determ-
inc who shall be the democratic nomi-
nee for governor and lieutenant.gov-
ernor. The second primary, according
to the general primary election law,
if necessary, would be held on August
2S, at which time the two highest
candidates would make the race again.
The state Democratic executive com
mittee will meet on September 6 and
canvass the returns for all candidates
and the following day the state Demo-
cratic convention will convene and
adopt the platform and officially nomi-
nate candidates. Under the old sys-
tenn the nominations were determined
by the convention but under the pri-
mary election plan the people decide
who shall be the nominees and the
convention has only to ratify their

II is not my purpose to conduct my

him at Joiner City Monday night,
which statement was 10 the effect

Now. in justice to the various chair

and in justice to the other candidates
rs well rs myself, desire to say
that his statement is absolutely with
out foundation in fact. The facts are
these, as will be attested by the chair
men themselves. as well as by the
various candidates, all Of whom are
placed in n false light by the state
ment Of NJ. Hoover:
Mr.. Hoover has been present at the
following places where 1 was pres

that he might have deferred until he

The Ardmoreite's
HOME FORUM
70 the Editor OF The Ardmoreite:

To the Editor OF The Ardmoreite:
A general impression seems to pre-
vail in this community that Governor
Cox, the democratic nominee for presi-
dent, is much more popular in Ohio
than is Senator Harding, the Repub-
lican nominee What this belief is
warranted on l am unable to find out.
There have been four eelctions in
Ohio in the last eight years in which
Cox has been a candidate for gov.
ernor
In 1912 Cox was elected governor
by a vote Of 439,323 against com
bined vote of Republican and Pro
gressive nominees of 490, ,403, there
fore receiving 51,0S0 votes less than
their combined vote.
In 1914 Cox was defeated for gov
ernor by 1920 votes by the Repub-
lican nominee. That same year Mr..
Harding was elected u S. senator by
vote of 102,373 above the Demo
cratic nominee and a majority of &c.
O0O over the combined vote received
by the Democratic and Progressive
nominees for u. S. senator.
In 1916 Cox was elected governor
by a plurality Of 6,616 votes over the
Republican nominee, but receiving
10000 votes less than Wilson did.
In 1918 Cox was reelected governor
by a plurality Of 1874 votes over the
Republican nominee.
1t will thus be seen that the only
time Cox and Harding appeared before
the public at the same election, Hard
ing won by over 100, 900 votes and
Cox lost by nearly 10000.
Whether Cox will prove to be the
vote-getter in Ohio that his Demo
matter to be seen. There is, how
ever, no doubt about his extraordinary
popularity in local Democratic circles.
This can doubtless be easily ex.
planned by the fact that Governor Cox
led the fight of Senator James Ard
more Reed OF Missouri, for seat at
the San Francisco convention, and by
the further fact that an Associated
Press item from Columbus, Ohio, the
ulN lOlIONlHb Lllt llOilllIdlIolli VII
phasized the nominees extreme gratifi-
cation upon receiving a telegram Of
congratulation from Senator Reed.
II doubtless must be a lot of com
fort to the citizens Of Ardmore. gen
orally. irrespective of politics, to feel
that this city will have a close friend
in administration circles. no matter
who wins. In the event Harding is
elected, Ardmore should fare well be-
cause Of the fact that the Republican
national committeeman lives here and
accredited with having been n potent
factor in Harding's nomination.
In the event Cox lands in the White
House, we feel sure that Senator
Reed Of Missouri. will be able to fur
nish local Democrats with the magic
word at whose utterance, the doors
of the executive mansion will always
fly open.

LONDON, July 15.-There seems to
be no limit to the audacity of the Sim
Fem. All Dublin is laughing tonight
while the police and military are com
pietely baffled over this mornings "out-
rage" when the general postofice in
Dublin was raided shortly after z
O'Clock by band of fifty Sim Feiners
many of whom made no effort to dis
guise themselves.
Official correspondence only was
stolen. The first intimation that the
postal clerks--about 200 of them, who
were sorting the early morning mail
had that anything was wrong was
when fifteen masked Sim Feiners
popped into the main lobby of the
postoffice through letter chute, one
after the other.
There are five telephones in the Dublin
postoffice and ten of these unexpected
visitors made Immediately for the in
struments, two mounting guard over
each. The remaining five who were
joined by eight who came in through
the employees entrance, made straight
for the "state" section, where official
correspondence is dealt with. Skilfully
and with apparent knowledge of the
workings of the postoffice, the masked
men selected certain stacks of police and
military mail, flung them into sacks and
departed.
The raid occupied less than ten min
utes. The postal workers were covered
by the men at the phones and offered no
resistance. One man refused to help
the raiders sort letters.
When the sacks had been carried to
the door of the postoffice a whistle
summoned a motor car, which quickly
whirled the half dozen leaders and
their booty away from the scene of the
raid. The other Sim Feiners who had
been idly standing guard in an infor-
NAL Gordon around the postoffice dis
persed and disappeared by the simple
process of mingling with the crowd
which had gathered.
Not the sligHest attempt was made
to interfere with the work of the raid
ers or to inform the military police.
The postoffice occupies the site of the
former skating rink in Pannell Square,
within a stones throw of Sackville
Street, Dublin's busiest thoroughfare.
The correspondent of "The Westmin-
ster Gazette" tonight reports from
Cork that the rebuffs which the Sim
Fem agitation for independence met
with in America have not in any way

Doesn't Oppose Suffrage
Manner of Bills Introduction
Caused Defeat, Says Shidehara;
Creets Sailors Here

X. Shideharn, Japanese Ambassador,
said yesterday that he did not think
the Japanese government had any OBJ
lection to universal suffrage and that
the bill offered in the Diet recently
was voted down because of the man
ner in which it would have introduced
universal suffrage.
Premier Hara Of Japan had said, the
ambassador went on, that since a suf-
frage measure had been passed by the
Diet last year the present was not an
opportune time to enact new statute.
Ambassador Shidehara came from
Washington to participate in the re-
ception to the officers and men of the
Japanese battle cruiser Kasuga, which
is in the Hudson nlver off Ninety
sixth Street. He exchanged calls yes
terday with Captain Teraoka, COM
mander of the vessel, and afterward
was the guest of the Nippon Club at
a reception.
Twenty officers and 300 sailors from
the Kasuga spent the day sightseeing.
They took in Coney Island. To-day
there will be reception on the battle
cruiser. In the morning Captain Terra
