Rapid-fire developments in the race
for United States senator from Texas
sre expected since the announcement
of Thomas M. Campbell that he will
be a..candidate for the place. The
- number of men who have apnounced
their intention of running for Culber
----son's nlace has m?w mounted to si-
most a score—some of them.really
prominent, other possessed of the idea
that they,- may gain some notoriety
by making the race. All this has come
about with no word from Senator Cul-
berson aa to whether he will make the
race. Culberson has been ill the ma
jor portion of his present terin and is
» at present in a private sanitarium for
his health. His friends declare that
a statement giving definitely his inten-
tions will be issued to the press in a
few days. Everything points to a
race which will begin with a score of
favorite sons and dark horses and
which will end with two or three men
placing their name on-the ballot for
/ the July primaries. / The prohibition
issue promises to be obscured this
year because of the defest of submis-
sion two years ago, and voting will
be more for personal preferences, and

been for years In Tax*. At any rate
