night lust before leaving the building
and walking to her deatE. Police
have wondered why she should ask
for this particular book In view OF the
fact that copy of the same volume was
in her handbag at the time.
A theory toda' was that n1etnng
hapoened while Miss Constanct was IN

leaving the building, and that she asked
for the first volume that came to her
mind thus haV'nT an excuse LOT re-

This theory received some substantial
ton from tn report Of polceman VINO

said that Miss Constance recently had
a part in bringing about the dlScfarge

s uation opened to investigators the pos
sibilitv that vengeance may have mo-
tivated the person who struck down
the 42-year -old teacher.
There was the statement OF one w.t.
ness who said he had observed man
lettering about the library entrance
some time before Miss Constance's de-
narture. The police suggested the
teacher may have seen this man, and

Of the party who point to the tabu-
lation Of votes in the various boxes
claiming something like a total Of
$500 Texas-Mexicans cast their bal
lot on election day and that "this
vote was approximately 80 per cent
for the administration"
Leslie-Griffin Race
Galloway said, Eat a few Of the
boxes we had one judge and a clerk
or two favorable to US, but not a
single presiding judge was favorable
to our ticket"
Galloway discussed the rae be-
tween j. Z. Leslie. administration
candidate and Gordon Griffin, citi-
zens-republican candidate, for the
judgeship of the 93rd district court,
citing the vote Of the East Donna
box, which he said is an almost SOL
id Texas-Mexican box. In this box,
according to Galloway, Judge Leslie
received 1s2 votes ever though Les
lies name had to be written on the
ballot, or one more than Judge Hood
Boone, administration candidate for
the 10th district court who had no
opponent and whose name appeared
on the ballot, and the name of ]. f.
Leslie had to be written by the Tex
as-Mexican vote, who he claims can
neither read or write the English
language. "This looks little short of
Of a miracle to u.s." Mr.. Galloway de-
clared.
"From some Of the affidsvits which
have been turned in TO our head
quarters we are informed a number
of ballots were thrown out because
the voter had written the wrong in
itial to the name of the candidate or
had mispelled the name by one let
ter" Galloway said.
He called attention to that part OF
the election law pertaining to the in
tention Of the voter saying, "this
was Of course a violation Of the law
as the law requires a vote to be
counted as long as the intention OF
the voter can be a~scertained." On
this claim. it is understood will rest
another contention in the contest.

Leaders of the independent move
ment stated that the county has been
organized for the contest.
A central committee composed oil
one representative from esh pre-
cinct has been created. and from this
body an executive committee Of five
members has been selected.

Outlines Contest
In a statement prior TO the mass
meeting, Grade Galloway, Edinburs
attorney, independent leader, STATED
that all Texas-Mexiean boxes we:t
practically solid in their vote for the
administration. The ten TeXas-Mex'
lean boxes. he said, gave the admin
istration a vote Of 1882, as compared
to 2lS for the independent ticket.
Comparing this vote with the
vote in the town boxes" Mr.. Gala.
way said, "our ticket carried every
box where the pre- onderance CT the
votes were English speaking people
except Mercedes and Edinburg." The
count announced by election Off
Gals at Mercedes was 1853 votes
were cast and final tabulation show.
ed 1854 was the largest number
counted for the two candidates tol
any office. 1t shows that something
like 200 or more votes were thrown
out and | have reason to believe
those votes were for independent
candidates"
Basing his figures on the fact that
something like 10000 votes were
cast in the election, as announced
by election officials at the time the
polls were closed, he said the final
t%abulation of votes shows there were
between 1000 and 1000 votes thrown
out and he declared the majority of
these votes were for the independent
candidates. All Of these votes, &C
cording to Galloway, were thrown
out either in the town boxes or
where the vote was split as TO Mex
lean and American votes. Not a
single vote was thrown out in the
solid Texas-Mexican boxes" Gala
way said.
That the contest will be based on
the vote Of the Texas-Mexican peo-
pie is the contention Of the leaders
