O'DaniePs majority over IL

only two months ago that O'Dan-

hadn't paid a poll tax and could
not vote.
Veteran politicians such as
Railroad Commissioner Ernest o.

the powerful local machine in

Representative Hatton Sum-

In Texas the O'Daniel victory

for the states highest office.
His family, daughter Molly and
sons Pat and Mike, campaigned
with their father, drawing crowds
to what O'DaniePs opponents call

Despite his accidental entrance
into the race, O'Daniel was the
first man to win the gubernatorial
office in a first primary since the
primary was established in Texas

for 1887 appears to be somewhat less
than in the record year 1885, accord
ing to Winthrop w. Case in the cur

The Cuban refiners have reported

Puerto Rican ref1ners show slightly
reduced profits in the aggregate,
while the domestic refiners and beet
factories seem generally to have made
less favorable showing.
With decreasing volume cutting
