HOT TEXAS CAMPAIGN
PROMISED AS RESULT
OF COURTS DECISION
BY LAWRENCE MARLIN


WASHINGTON, Oct. 2S-Texas will
see the hottest campaign windup CT
any state in the union as a result of
the court decisions which have barred
from the ballot the name of George
E. B. Peddy and let Earle B. May
fields name go on.
Both are candidates for the senate
to succeed Senator Culberson. May
field is a Democrat; Peddy an inde.
pendent with the active backing of
President Harding.
Peddy's name was kept off the bal
lot by court action based on the fact
that he was not nominated at a pri-
mary. Mayfields name goes on be
cause the state supreme court yester-
day overruled lower tribunal which
had decided Mayfield should be kept
off. Mayfield was attacked on various
grounds, one being that his campaign
fund was in excess of this amount per
mitted
Fight on ku kIux
The fight on Mayfield really is a
fight on the Ku Klux Klan. Peddy
was put forward by anti-Klan Demo
Gratis in concert with what Republi-
cans Texas has.
Mayfield for long time refused to
pay any attention to the charge that
he was a Klansman. Within the last
few weeks, however, he stated he had
belonged but is no longer a member
having resigned That statement was
urged against him by the Peddy
forces, who said it was a subterfuge
and that Mayfield was X. K. K. can.
didate
Mayfield has gained a great advan.
tage in the Nov election by getting
his name on the ballot, as those for
Peddy must write his name in. Peddy
has been better advertised throughout
Texas than any candidate in many a
day by reason of the court proceed
ings, and also that President Harding
wrote letter urging that Peddy be
chosen. This advertising may heiE
offset the advantage Mayfield gains
by being the only senatorial candidate

RAISED
BY EUROPE TO
ASSIST VETS
Wine Interests Will
Wage Big Drive
(By Associated Press)


PARIS, Oct. 28.-A large fund reach
ing many millions of francs has been
pledged by the wine interests of Eu-
rope to make a merciless campaign
against prohibition in the United
States and other countries. The fight
will be waged through the newly or
ganized international League Against
Prohibition with headquarters here.
The American campaign will be car
ried on in cooperation with the liquor
forces of the United States, it was
learned today. Organizers of the
league say that they have little to fear
from the prohibition forces in Europe.
Their chief concern is to give every
possible assistance to American vets.
1t is explained that the European
liquor forces do not want to make the
same mistake that the American pro-
hibitionists did when they came to
Europe preaching prohibition.
To Offer Support.
Officers in the new organization will
communicate with the anti-dry leaders
of America, to offer the full support
of their organization.
Eve are not going to America to
ask the United States to overthrow
prohibition" said Jean Cuprie, one of
the French delegates to the Brussels
convention which organized the
league. I'VE would probably be po-
litely but firmly elected if we did, and
rightly so. However, we believe our
cause is just as legitimate as that of
the prohibitionists. American sup
porters of prohibition have taken the
liberty of sending their apostles to
Europe. We believe we have at least
| the right to offer our whole-hearted
support to American vets if they will
| accept. They will find our organiza-
tion amply backed financially and with
hundred million advocates back OF
