NE " TEST ON
TEXAS REPEAL
issue Is Seen

AUSTIN, March 8.-PHProhibi-
ton repeal held the legislative spot
Light Friday as dry forces planned
strategy to overcome house defeat
of q state monopoly plan in event
prohibition was discarded.
Senators met for renewed debate
on the plan detected by the house
cn a five-vote margin. Plans for q
new house test were shaped around
an altered amendment to place only
distilled liquors under a monopoly
House anti-prohibition leaders,
contending for optional rather than
mandatory constitutional authorize
ton of q monopoly, admitted defeat
Of the plan would rob a repeal sub
mission resolution of some support.
Anti-prohibition senator's were hope
full, however. Of submitting the
question directly.
Ahead Of the previous legisla-
lures record Off introduction OF
bills, senator's planned TO get their
measures "in the hopper" Friday,
the last opportunity TO offer pro-
poSals without consent Of four
fsfths.
A total OF 4sl bills had been in
PRODUCED in the senate, compared to
674 In the preceding regular session.
On the SIND day two years ago. the
last day for unrestricted introduc-
tion, 81 bills were presented. Up to
then, only 362 had been numbered.
Half Of the senate bills introduced
held committee recommendations.
Only seven were adversely report
ed. Sixty-two had passed the SEN
ate, and OF that number, the house
had passed 10. The senate had
killed outright only one bill and
one proposed constitutional amend
ment.
House rules placed no restriction
On introduction OF bills at any time
during the four months session.

set up ill this machinery for itself.
To do the job completely. 1t must
make provision In each township or
ward for the proper representation Of
that small unit in the convention
which selects the delegates to the con-
vention which selects the candidates
for elector.
It is true that various third-party
ventures have neglected to do any
such thorough Job, choosing their
elector slate and campaign leaders BY
hit-and-miss methods. But 1t Is
equally true that no third party 20
sketchily organized ever got to first
base.
All sorts OF rivalaries within the
states have led to the most damag-
ing kind Of quarrels over procedure,
whenever new party venture q.
ganized itself by these arbitrary
methods.
Left-Wiug Party:
This part Of the difficulty Is par
ticularly interesting - respects 1885.
Most Of the talk plays with the
possibility that the extreme left
wingers ~ the Huey Long - Father
Coughitn ~ Dr.. Townsend - Upton
Sinclair tollowers-wiu make up the
bone and sinew Of next years third
party movement, II there Is one.
How will they b organised7 Who
will lead In each state7 And after q
leader Is chosen. how many can be
depended on to follow him7 Senator
Long has been announcing his prest-
Dental candidacy regularly for some
time now. but not one Of the other
outstanding left-wing figures has en-
dorsed him.
OF course these obstacles cannot be
regarded aS decisive. Many politi-
clans are fully convinced that in
spite Of the difficulties, 1896 will see
some sort Of a third-party foray. But
they know that no such effort really
can get under way until there has
been q lot Of spade-work, Of = kind
none Is yet attempting.
