Often could be heard the cheering; coach
ing- and rooting of the fair sex In. the 1

derful stlmhlant to the players on the
floor. ... . . ..
Regardless of the large score the game
between "Mug" Reynold's Langshans
tnd "Heine" Willcockaon's "Wyandottes

have ever been played on the association
Indoor diamond. All through the game
every one was up on their toes watching
every move. The Wyandottes had the
game . from the start getting ne run
In the first Inning and two In the second
keeping the .Langshans without a single
tally until the third inning. At the be-
ginning of the last half of the ninth In-
ning the score was 7 to 6 In favor of the
Wyandottes. The Langshans pulled hard
and managed to get one run over the

today. Compared with his work last week
he was. slow of eye and foot and the

Jeffries slept late and when he ao-

that Jeffries displayed during the early
part of his training returned In double

WALDO WILL NOT RACE
Public's Favorite Has Gone Lame and Will Not
Start in Kentucky Derby.
(.4ssociatei Press Report.)
LOUISVILLE Ky. May 9. With fair
and warmer weather promised and a rap-
Idly drying track at Churchill Downs the
thirty-sixth Kentucky Derby to be run
tomorrow gives promise of being con-
tentod under conditions more auspicious
than have marked the famous turf event
In many years.
The announcement today that Waldo
had gone lame and would not go to the
post tomorrow brought disappointment to
thousands as the ihorse probably would
have carried more of the public's money
than any other contestant. With Waldo
eliminated the public's confidence will In
all probability be transferred to Donau
but there will also be a shortening of the
prices on Joe Morris and Fighting Bob
which animals will go to the post strong
second and third choices.
Although the program still stands for T.
Koerner to ride Joe Morris Trainer Jack
Baker is reported to be negotiating with
Jockey V. Powers who was to have rid-
den Waldo.
The change of Jockeys If made tomor-
row may have a further effect on the
betting and possibly may result in other
changes of riders.
The removal of Waldo and the placing
of one or two other horses In the double
full class has reduced the list of certain
starters to eight but a field of ten Is not
tmnrnhahle.

Although Johnson has not been weighed
Since he reached Kan iranclsco he state 1
as his opinion today that he would tip

PROHIBITION ONLY
JOHNSON PASSED OVER OTHER
MATTERS IN SILENCE.
Was Introduced to His Audience at
Bridgeport 1y the Pastor of the
Methodist Church.
Houston Post Special.)
BRIDGEPORT. Texas. May . Cona
Johnson spoke here this afternoon for
two hours and fifteen minutes to some
000 people. He was Introduced by Rev.
T. H. Morris pastor of the Methodist
church. Mr.. Johnson confined his speech
to prohibition. He began by quoting from
the bill of rights claiming that the prin-
ciples announced therein guaranteed to
the people the right of statutory prohibi-
tion. He declared the people had the
Inalienable right to rule but had been
denied this right as it relates to the whls-
by traffic by machine politics for ten
years. He scored the Thtrtv-flrst legisla-
ture for Its failure to sulimlt to the peo-
ple for vote the constitutional amendment
for prohibition and held that the only
hope for Statewide prohibition was stat-
utory as the next senate would have as
many or more senators against submis-
sion than the last. He said that the road
to constitutional prohibition wan blocked
by Colquitt Davidson and Polndexter
all were In the way of that for each of
them Is committed to vetoing. If elected
a statutory law passed hv the legislature.
He claimed that all the candidates but
himself were In one way or another
against prohibition and were compromis-
ing the rights of the people. Hl criti-
cisms of his OpponcntB were mild and
K resented In a gentlemanly way saying
e was not the Inventor or author of
statutory prohibition but lie took up the
work of prohibition where the prohibi-
tionists had to leave it two yearn ago.
He was caustic In the treatment of
Senators Cofer and Brachfleld for Intro-
ducing a bill for statutorv prohibition and
since then repudiating It.
He said Senator Cofer l!d not belong
to himself did not even have a second
mortgage on himself. "You people who
live close know who has the first mort-
gage." He read a derision from the su-
preme court of the United States in a
rase from Kansas supporting Ills claim
that States have the right according to
police law to regulate the manufar-ture.
sale and use of intoxicants. He also read
a derision from the State supreme court
of criminal appeals which court would
have to pass on the constitutionality of
statutory prohibition showing that it
would be constitutional.
He eulogized Judge Hurt saving that
the Judge was an antl. hut recognized
the constitutionality of such a law If It
should be passed. He made a strong
plea for prohibition which was received
with manifest approval. He was fre
quently applauded by those who are his
supporters and those who are not. He
must have been able to see that there
was a strong Polndexter following here.
There were a great many of his support-
ers here from other places In the county
Decatur. Boyd Rhome and Chlco being
represented.
Mr. Johnson referred to nothing In his
speech but prohibition. Other matters
were passed over In silence.
PATIENT AUDIENCE
HEARD
R. V. DAVIDSON
EAGLE LAKE.
AT
Applause Was Not Very Liberal as
He Recited His Record and
Talked of His Opponents.
(11 Huston Post Special.)
KAGLK I.AKK. Texas. May 9. Hon. R.
V. Davidson arrived here yesterday about
7 p. m.. coming through trie country ac-
companied by Hon. W. L. Adklns. The
hand of eighteen pieces greeted Mr Dav-
idson. Mr. Adklns Mayor Strickland. P.
P. Putney ami Wat Tinkle when they ar-
rived at the hand stand on the square
from which he spoke to some 700 or 800
people. Mr. Putney Introduced Mr. Ad-
klns who In turn Introduced Mr. David-
son. Mr. Adklns in the course of his re-
marks salil that be was Introducing "the
nephew of the old war governor of North
Carolina."
Mr. Davidson said In part: "I have a
consistent record upon the question of
prohibition. I have always been an antl-
prohlblllonist. Judge Polndexter one of
my opponents 1 understand has always
been a consistent prohibitionist. When
you mention Judge Polndexter and myself
upon the records of prohibition and antl-
prohlbltlon. then we are in a class by
ourselves as nenner l olqultt nor John-
son have been consistent upon the xub-
ect. They have changed their views;
they had a right to change them if they
wanted to. hut upon the question of con-
sistency neither one of them Is consistent.
"Colquitt was prohibitionist in 1887 and
Johnson antl-prohlbitlonlst In 1887 and
I was antl In I HH7. Vow Mr. Colquitt In
1887 was a prohibitionist at Terrell he
was a prohlliltl...i.t and in the papers
had the rleht to v prohibitionist. Some-
one has rlmilated that 'Davidson Is a
prohibitionist.' you might as well say he
Is an elephant."
Here he referred to the Wnlters' letter
to Colquitt. Ho referred to bis five years
as attorney general of Texas and ' de-
clared that he never lost a trust suit
filed. He stat.d that he bad secured and
gotten hack for the children of Texas
some 180.000 acres of their land from
men who had no title but whohad scorn-
ed and ridiculed him.
He pledged his earnest support to both
the old Confederate veterans and their
wives and widows and that If he was
elected governor that he would use bis
best efforts In their behalf.
He say" that Colquitt favored the re-
peal of th(j Insurance law but he declared
that If he was elected governor of Texas
that the law should not be repealed. He
cloned his speech after speaking for over
an hour in which he was Interrupted by
a train for some little time. He speaks at
Yoakum tomorrow.
Mr. Davidson was given an attentive
hearing but the applause was not liberal.
However a number of gentlemen met him
and shook hands with him.

MEN OF WEIGHT IN TEXAS
Were Upon the Platform While the
Opera Honse Was Filled to Its
Capacity Applanse Was
Enthusiastic.
BY J. E. R06SER.
AUSTIN. Texas. May 9 -jf O. B. Col-
quitt's strength In the gubernatorial cam-
paign may be fairly estimated by his re-
ception when he spoke here tonight his
overwhelming victory in the democratic
primary July 23 Is already assured. All
plans for his reception had been carefully
made and his homecoming tonight could
not fall to gratify Hoth the candidate and
his friends who gathered more than 12K)
strong to give their Indorsement to the
one aspirant for gubernatorial honors
who proposes to abide bv the constitu-
tion. Mr. Colquitt spoke In the Hancock
opera house. Only the lower floor and
the -balcony were thrown open to the au-
dience but in these every seat was taken
and fully 2T0 people stood throughout the
intire speech of two hours' length. Ixng
before the hour set for Mr. Colquitt's ad-
dress. Sixth street wis crowded with
those who knew the speaker as a per-
sonal friend and who wished to Indorso
by their presence the principles fcr which
he stands. From every part of the city
and county the friends of the candidate
came to co him honor.
Outside the opera bouse a band plaved
lively airs which put the people in
good humor to which the speaker added
by convincing argument. Interspersed
with wit and plays of humor.
UPON THE BTAOR.
Upon the stage were seated fifty of the
leading citizens of Austin and Travis
county men who have made their mark
In every worthy walk of life and whoso
opinion carries weight In the communities
where they live. It was not merely a
gathering of Austin citizens. It was a
representative gathering of Travis county
citizens many of whom had come con-
siderable distance to hrar the man if
their choice. It serms certain that Mr.
Colquitt wl'l carry Travis county in tlio
coming election by the same substantial
majority that waa given him In 1W.
Among those who were seated on the
stage were R. R. Gaines chief Justice of
the supreme court; Senator J. L. Peeler
Judge Charles Rogan H. A. Wroo vice
president of the American National bank;
representative A. O. Hrliiueter. former
Mayor Frank Maddox Representative W.
A. Trenckman William Von Rosenberg
Harry lluynes Kd Byrne T. B. Cochran
A. C Goeth and others.
In the audience were President Mezes
and Dean Battle of the I'niversltv of
Texas. A significant fact was the pres-
ence In the audience of a consiilerahlo
number of ladles. The gathering was de-
clsred to be the largest ever seen In Aus-
tin on similar occasions.
INTRODUCED BY SM ELTON.
Charles Rogan former land commis-
sioner presented John E. Shelton chair-
man of the Travis county democratlo
executive committee who In turn Intro-
duced the speaker of the occasion de-
claring that he would not conform to tha
usual and present Mr. Colquitt as "the
next governor of Texas" but that he
would rather pronounce htm the man
"who ought to be governor of Texas"
because he said Mr. Colquitt has alwas
stood for democracy and that he has
never resorted to "gumshoe" methods.
Mr. Shelton concluded his brief but ef-
fective speech of Introduction by declar-
ing Mr. Colquitt "not or Kaufman but of
Texas."
When Mr. Colquitt arose to speak he
was greeted with prolonged applause.
When quiet was restored lie begin bv
expressing his appreciation of the oppor-
tunity of addressing so large a gatheitm;
of the people among whom he has lived
for the Inst seven years. He said that
the people of Austin knew his record and
that they wore therefore aszured that
while he might not be perfect he had
labored as a public officer as beat he
could; that he had never quailed before
criticism and that he bad never looked
to any Junta for orders.
He said that he brought to the people
of Austin the same doctrine he has been
preaching throughout Texns. At the out-
set he declared that he did not believe it
necessary to traduce his opponents In
order to become governor and he added:
"I am not going to do it."
KntcrliiK upon his speech proper a
enunciated Ills well-known attitude to-
ward peace and rest declaring that Texas
now has a superfluity of laws whereby
citizens are hampered In legitimate ac-
tivity and the progress of the State re-
tarded. He said: "In my opinion the
next legislature. Instead of adding to
the laws we now have should revise our
laws leaving nut the bad and cleaving
unto the good."
Mr. Colquitt said that Davidson. Poln-
dexter and Johnson contended that all he
Wanted was n law requiring the State
to pay his salary as governor. He added:
"I ani going to be governor and you can
bet your money on that." (Laughter and
applause. )
CONFEDERATES APPLAUDED.
His assertion that If made governor he
would rare properly for the Confederate
soldiers and their wives and widows elic-
ited enthusiastic applause from the vet-
erans from the Confederate Soldiers'
Home who were seated in numbers on
the front tlors of seats. He said further
that he would pledge himself to the ade-
quate support of the blind deaf and
dumb Institutions.
In this city of educational Institutions
the speaker's emphatic views In fostering
the schools colleges and universities wcie
renewed. He said: "1 would like to see
a good school bouse in every district
with a good teacber sufficiently paid. 1
only wish that 1 had had a teacher when
1 whs growing up. Mv alma maler was
the printing office. In which I was the
llevll. and my opponents - say that I
played the devil so long that 1 can't stop
it now." iLaugliter and applause.)
He committed himself to the upbuilding
of the University of Texas and Agricul-
tural and Mechanical college each of
which he said be hoped to see the fore-
most Institution of Its kind in Hie I'nlied
States. Speaking of t he university ho
said:
"1 am told that over five hundred stu-
dents are working their way Ihrnugu
school by means or sin-h odd Jobs as they
an secure. I sav that such an lniitu-
llon merits unprejudiced support."
Mr. lolqultt dwelt at length upon the
question of submission. dcMaring hti
well-known views. He held that Slaie-
u ide prohibition should not be n political
Issue as it has become attributing the
fact to the cowardice of politicians wbc
had the power to adjust It before now.
In passing he paid his respects to the
full-rendition law.
Throughout his speech Mr. Colquitt de-
clared In favor of upholding the consti-
tution. He said: "The constitution docs
not belong to any man or pnrty. II Is
not the property of Davidson Johnson
nor Polndexler." The terrific applause
that greeted his added remark that
"neither did It belong to Tom Campbell"
was a pointer as to the attitude of thp
people toward the administration.
At this Juncture a man In the audience
said: "1't them down light Colquitt"
to which the speaker replied: "I'm go-
ing to give them thunder before I get
through with them; but I will do II prop-
erly." WHY THEY ARE It UN NINO.
Mr. Colquitt declared that Johnson and
Polndexter were running on submission
because they had nothing else to run on.
lie saM that the 'present campaign re-
minded him of tha Hogg campaign when
three men were put out to beat him and
Hogg was elected - by a threevfourtha
vote. . His- statement that all the candi-
dates wers doing waa to abuse him elic-
ited prolonged applause.
' On local option he argued' along his
usual lines emphasizing "the right of
local self -control of local ' self-government."
When he declared that an un-
welcome law should not be forced upon
a single county tha audience burst into'
applause. .. -
He ssldr ."Right here In the capital I
say that between the constitution and a
party platform I cbnone Ihe constitu-
tion. If this be treason then let my
calumniator make the best of It."
He made passing reference to
the referendum - and criticised
Campbell's antagonism to the fel-
low servants law declaring
the governor a former lobbyist In the em-
ploy of . the International and Orvat
Northern.
Mr. Colquitt said:' "If I am a platform
jumper then Davidson. Tolndexter and
Johnson are constitution Jumpers." A
man in the audience shouted: "That's no
He."
Continuing the speaker showed how
the constitution protects every class and
declared the election of any one of his
opponents would mean the subversion of
personal liberty.
REFERRING TO DAVIDSON.
Referring to Davidson's "submission or
a row" statement the speaker declared
that If the people elected him (Colquitt)
they would have rest for at least two
years. He took up In turn the views of
the opposing candidates on the question
of prohibition and showed the fallacy of
cacti.
Mr. Colquitt condemned the policy of
the governor In sanding nut Rangers to
Interfere with private affairs declaring
that Campbell has the habit of sticking
his nose in other people's business.
Of Iiavklson he said: "The time has
pasaed In Texas when a fence straddler
can ride Into the governor's chair."
Referring to Davidson's statement at
Bryan that "the bushes are full of people
who are waiting to destroy Colquitt" tha
speaker brought a iaugli by declaring
such to lie "bushwhackers." The laugh-
ter continued when he said that some of
the papers take Colquitt as their subject
adding that the subject Is all right but
that they sometimes abuse it.
One of the most striking features of
his speech was his treatment of the peni-
tentiary problem. He declared: "There
will ho no genuine Investigation of the
penitentiary until you elect me."
He said that the weeping Davidson may
shed tears at Huntsvllle over Sam Hous-
ton buf that he should weep over tha
penitentiary as conducted under Camp-
bell. He elicited applause by saying:
"Davidson promises that. If he Is gov-
ernor he will see that the penitentiary la
conducted as 'Tom Campbell has done. I
promise not to do It."
He denounced Davidson for allowing
his taxes to go unpaid from 1WI until
1909 at which time he paid 11760 back
taxes "but not until Galveston county
remitted Interest and penalties."
Another striking point was the speak-
er's statement that during the seven
years of his service as commissioner ha
had never been on a hunting or fishing
trip while In office. He said: "If Da-
vidson Campbell and Polndexter will re-
pay the State for the time they lost from
their desks on 'pleasure trips I will pay
two dollars for every one I drew as
railroad commissioner In the campaign
of 1IKK1 and the present year."
Relative to Davidson's Navasota speech.
In which he claimed tg have recovered
for the State 120000 ares" of school lands.
Mr. -'olqultt declared that Davidson's
own report as attorney general estab-
lished t'.o falsity of the statement; that
he ready .covered not mOre than a very
few thousand acres and further declar-
ing that .he lands to which Davidson
lavs claim were recovered by Charley
Bell adding that Davidson Inst In the
supreme court 47 per cent of the land
lases which Bell had won In the district
courts lie paid his respects also to J.
J. Terrell who Is going throughout the
Slate electioneering for Davidson.
Mr. Colquitt was accorded the closest
attention throughout his speech .and at
Its conclusion he was not permitted to
go home until he had shakeW the hands
of the scores who wished to express
their Indorsement of what he had said.
MUCH ENCOURAGED
IS P0INDEXTER BY J. B. GAM-
BRELL STATEMENT.
Asserts That He Has Never Attacked
the Anti-Saloon League but Ob-
jects to Johnson Indorsement.
BY FRANK J. BURKHALTER.
M'UHOf'K Texas May 9. Judge Will-
lam I'ulnilexter Is considerably encour-
aged over the statement of Dr. J. B. Gam-
hrell iiubllshjil In tha dally press of Sun-
day. Addressing a crowd of 700 people
in the opera house here this afternoon he
read the essential parts of Dr Oambrell's
statement arraigning statutory prohibi-
tion and dt'fending the regulative meas-
ures advocated by the Cleburne candidate.
Judge Polndexter expressed the belief
thai the position of Dr. (Jumhrell la held
by all of the sane and conservative pro-
hibitionists who have fought the battles
of the cause In the years gone by and who
desire prohibition for prohibition's sake
rather than as a hobby to ride into office
themselves or to support a candidate
whom they care to favor on personal
grounds.
"Kvery vote for Johnson In this cam-
paign is a deflection from the forces of
the prohibition ranks" he said this after-
noon. "We have won our battles in the
past without his aid and and we can do
ho Hllll. though we will welcome his as-
Hlstance now if he will fight wilh us and
quit crying that tlin cause x lost."
Kofci -ring to the criticism of oilier per-
sons lliut he hud "opi n. il the vials of his
wrath upon the Anll-Ktiloon Ichhup"
Judge I'oliulexler snl'l. "I liv. never
Bit inked the Antl-Siilonn league and
have not criticised It as nn organization.
I have been in sympathy Willi It ami have
supported It In the belief that It was d-
voied to the destruction of the saloon;
but I object because they have tried to
put the brand of that organization upon
4 'one Johnson and nominate him as the
deinocratle candidate for governor. Cone
says that I am complaining becau.se they
have not nominated me That is not true
because tlo-y have not nominated him.
According lii Ir. J II (Inmbrell the su-
perintendent 'he wiser members of the
body prevented that.
"I have not asked their Indorsement
but I want every democratic vote In the

intendent of the penitentiary.
Speech at Tulia.
(Houston I'oit Special.)
TI'MA. Texas May t. In his address
here today Judge I'oliidexter was Inter
rupted several times by Hev. Mr. Twlddy
tin. Methodist pastor who on Sunday de-
livered a Johnson campaign speech from
his pulpit and the discussion of Colquitt s
and Johnson's records furnished consider-
able amusement to the audience.
There waa little In the address that dif-
fered In essential respects from the ma-
Jot ity of Judge Poindexter'a speeches.
though there was an inrusion of more
spice and singer at Intervals that kept
the audience in frequent applause. Uni-
formity of procedure and decision In the
court aud the enforcement of both the
criminal and civil laws of the State
formed his main contentions for court re-
form while the encouragement of agri-
culture of the most successful type and
outside capital for tha construction ot
more railroads and factories formed tha
haala or his plea for the greater' indus-
trial development of tha State. t
