WASHINGTON, Aug. 23-Tcxas
Saturday will hold a senatorial pri-
mary election. unique In the ma
ton's history. and the outcome Of
which may have far-reaching DO
!itical consequences.
The contesting candidates. both
democrats. arc Earle d. Mayheld
said 10 be a member OF the Ku-Klux
klan. which openly supports him.
and James Z. Ferguson. impeached
while Governor of the State, and an
out-and-out antiprohibitionist.
Because the Khan is a popular as
well as political issue in Texas
SAID 10 he the strongest Klan State
IN tho Union. and because OF the
combined Impeachment and prohibi-
tion issues involving Ferguson, not
Il newspaper in the State has VEN
tured to take editorial sides In the
campaign. The fact of the matter
Is that both public and politicians
would be much happier II neither
candidate were in the race.
Full Of Curious Possibilities.
In this strange situation, growing
out OF many-sided primary July
22. which made Saturdays run-ofr
necessary. hero are the curious nos.
s!bilities:
II Mayheld Is nominated, antiklan
voters. both Republican and Demo-
cratic, are expected to get behind
John Henry Kirby. millionaire lum-
herman and capitalist OF Houston
Il iukewarm Democrat in the past
ana tariff protectionist, to run as
an independent Democrat.
II Ferguson Is nominated, DR.. F

and anti-Ferguson Democrats to on

Politicians Puzzled.
The unique Texas situation do6ae
the most astute politicians of tho
state attempting to forecast the pri-
mary result. OF the candidates de-
teated in the first primary, two have
come out for Mayfield. after denounc-
ing the klan. while their campaign
managers have come out for Fer
Sus"n. although previously opposed
dates has come out for Ferguson
while his campaign manager has come
out for Maytield. Many dry" anti
Khan leaders are supporting Ferru-
son. wet" on tho other hand
many antiklan leaders. including
senator Sheppard. Texas have come
out for Mayfield because he is a

But behind the situation are two
other important phases Of the un
precedented contest. If either Nav
hcId or Ferguson is elected. the cleo
t!on appears certain To come under
the careful scrutiny of the United
states Senate. which is final Judge of
the fitness of It's membership. Feel
ing against the khan in Congress
might result In dlsapproval of Nav
feld. were he elected. and memory OF
Ferguson's impeachment as Governor
might teopardize his chances of be-

WASHINGTON. Aug. 23.-The ad-
ministration bill for creation OF a
Federal commission to obtain all
facts possible relating to the coal in

was passed tonight by the House.
219 to So.
Three separate attempts were made
by Representative Bland. Republican.
Indiana. TO amend the bill so as TO
put representatives OF the miners
and mine owners on the commission.
but all of them failed.
Cut Members' Pay.
The House voted down n proposal
by Representative Denison. Rcpubli-
can. Illinois. to reduce the commission
membership from nine to five. but the
next moment by an overwhelming
vote adopted an amendment by Repre-
sentative Bankhead. Democrat, Ala
bama, cutting the salary OF commits
sioners from $4,000 to $500.
On the heels OF this II put through,
virtually without objection, an amend
ment by Representative Moore,
Democrat. Virginia. reducing the ap-
preparation for the cost and up
keep Of the commission from $500, 900
to 100000. Chairman winslow. OF
the Interstate Commerce Committee
who handled the bill through the
House. announced that the committee
was not opposed to the smaller
amount.
Four Republicans voted against the
bill and twentyfour Democrats sup
ported it. 1t goes now to the SEN
ate. where the Borah commission bill,

For a time today Republican lead
ers were thrown off their feet by ac-
ton Of the Rules Committee in vot-
ing to present tho Bland bill, with its
provision for miner and operator rep
resentation, as a substitute for the
Winslow measure. President Har-
ding's opposition to this proposal was
set forth on Tuesday. The committee
failed on n tie vote TO reconsider It's
action. hut later il reported a rule
way. and opening It to amendment.
In tho end leaders found no reason
for the furry. for under a parliamcn-
tary situation the bill was called up
by Mr.. Winslow In regular form. and
was considered without q rule.
