FIRST RUSSIAN DRIYE
General BrasflofFs Initial Blow
More Effective.
Beiult of Week's Operations Sur-
passed Expectations of Most
Ardent Believers in
leader.
(Associated Pnss Report.) ;
t FETROGRAD. June 11. The similarity
between General Bruslloff's advance In the
psat week and the Russian drive against
the Austrian at the beginning of the war
; Is generally commented upon here. One
; difference however is pointed out that
General BrusllofC's Initial blow has been
' Considerably more effective and the re-
i treat of the Austrian! before it more pre-
cipitate than during the Initial events of
1914.
The net results of the week's operations
baa surpassed the expectations of the
most ardent believers In the Southern
leader's ability. With upward of 7200
.'prisoners (the latest official statements
now place the number of prisoners at
: about 108000) and Immense booty and
with the communications between the
Austrian around Czartorys and Rafa-
lowsky and those in the neighborhood of
Csernowlta threatened ther is immense
rejoicing among the military and civilian
population.
PtERCINQ OF LINE AT
STRIPA SIGNIFICANT.
The military authorities regard the
piercing of the Austrian line along the
Strips as perhaps of greater Importance
than breaking through at Lutsk. Assum-
Ing that the Austrian even with the aid
of the Germans are unable to push the
Ruassians back here. It will mean that
' the Austrian themselves must fall back
along th. whole line northward in order
to maintain a formidable front. It is
pointed out that an orderly retreat with
such gigantic armies is an extremely diffi-
cult task. Once they are on the move and
with the Russians pounding at their rear
it is contended the great drive of 1914
through Poland and Galicia is likely to
be repeated.
At the same time the military critics
: warn the people that the great trial of
strength between General Bruslloff and
" General Von Linslngen Is yet to come.
They add that If the Russians succeed In
holding what they already have gained
theAuatrian plans for the summer cam-
paign have doubtless been effectively
smashed.
Scenes of excitement in the trenches
and villages where the reserves were
stationed when the word of the pro-
' posed advance came on Saturday June
' i are described by a captain of a Siberian
i regiment. On the following day after a
tremendous bombardment the first sec-
ond and even the third lines of Aus-
trian trenches were easily taken.
BAYONET "
- EFFECTIVE.
t)ttr losses were light" he said. But
in the strongest positions in the rear the
enemy made a desperate stand with ma-
chine guns bombs and ' prepared mines.
Here we suffered more heavily. It was
necessary to storm the positions. This
we did with splendid courage and de-
termination. "As soon as we came within reach
with the bayonet the Austrian gave up
whole . companies throwing down their
arms. .They appeared to have no heart
fof bayonet work.
"On we went leaving heaps of dead be-
hind. Sometimes we had to take de-
fensive positions against counter attacks.
Iiy corps withstood eight in succession
repulsing tbem and then charging again.'
Through th breaches in their front our
cavalry poured in some instances riding
into the : demoralized rear slashing
xpearing and yelling like demons as
they rode.
."Entire regiments of - Austrian were
rut off and surrendered. There was a
continuous stream of prisoners toward the
Russian rear. Among the prisoners wer;
many German speaking officers and a
thousand German soldiers who had been
incorporated in the Austrian regiments."
There was still no official teport of the
Austrian losses out estimates her which
are considered conservative place them
at 200000. .

J. M. Terrell Case to Be Decided by
the State Coonittee.
Special Delivery Letter to Chairman
Waples Cams Day Late and
Bronght Mysterious Applica-
tion f or Place on .Ticket
By E. C. Lowry.
AUSTIN. Texas June 11. Who is "J.
M. Terrell" T One J. M. Terrell is well
known in Texaa Throughout North Texas
and the black land country hi name is
almost a byword. He was a member of
the Slat senate for several terms preced-
ing Horace Vaughan. He lives at Daln-
gerfleld Morris county.
But the 3. M. Terrell whose Identity Is
being sought Is th on whose name at
the elevnth hour waa sent to Chairman
Paul Waples of the State democratic ex-
ecutive committee to be placed bn the
ballot for the July primaries as a candi-
date for comptroller.
Whether there was an Intention to play
a sinister Joke or whether there may be
such a person who desires to run for
comptroller must yet be determined. His
application in anything but proper form
was ssnt to Chairman Paul Waples of the
State democratic executive committee ar-
riving by special delivery letter on Tues-
day one day after the day provided by
law. But the law provides that any let-
ters mailed up until midnight of the first
Monday In June shall be accepted if "sent
by registered mail."
The application was not in proper form.
It might be termed a technicality to hold
out a name because it waa sent by special
delivery instead of registered mall. But
there are otber discrepancies. The law
provides the application for name to be
placed on the ballot shall show age occu-
pation county of residence and postofflce
address. The application of Mr. "J. M.
Terrell" did not bear these.
Further investigation has shown some-
thing else. The application must be cer-
tified to and sworn to before a proper of-
ficial. The application of "J. M. Terrell"
was "subscribed and sworn to before
me this June Sth 1916. (Signed) J. N.
Kinsey. Notary Public for Dallas County
Texas."
A list of the notaries public for Dallas
and the entire State show no such name
as J. N. Kinsey having even been desig-
nated a notary public by the State sen-
ate. There are two men by the same
name in Dallas but of different initials
who are notaries public.
WELL KNOWN J. M. TERRELL
DECLARES HE IS NOT CANDIDATE.
These are some of the points the State
democratic executive committee are going
to consider when they meet in Dallas on
Monday to take up the case. It Is grow-
ing more apparent each day that a Joke
of some kind that might have serious re-
sults has been perpetrated.
Henry B. Terrell present comptroller in
the ra.ee for re-election would undoubted-
ly lose thousands of votes by a party
using the same name and with the possi-
bility of securing countless votes almost
under the reputation of a strong and wsil
known prohibitionist of the same name
and Initials.
J M. Terrell whom the State knows
has disavowed any idea of announcing
for the office of comptroller. It will
therefore be a matter for the democratic
Btate executive committee to determine
or a possible investigation to reveal the
motive behind the submission of the name
to be placed on the ballot.
There is another question that politi-
cians are pondering over. Is the hand
of Tom Campbell in the announcement of
Judge Charles Jenkins of the third court
of civil appeals for Chief justice of the
supreme court In opposition to Nelson
Phillips? There are many who say that
Campbell Is furthering the nomination
and candidacy of his friend not altogether
because Judge Jenkins might make a
good supreme court Judge but for political
reasons.
JENKINS ALLIED
WITH TOM CAMPBELL.
Recently there was issued from the of-
fice of Judge Jenkins a call to prohibi-
tionists to rally ound tbe flag at a meet-
ing to be held in Fort Worth. That call
was drawn by Harper Kirby president of
the State Antlsaloon league. Judge Jen-
kins is for Campbell and Campbell Is for
Judge Jenkins. Judge Jenkins is going
to be active when that meeting is called
In Fort Worth on June 13 at 10 o'clock
In the. morning. The closer the organi-
zation the more perfect their work means'
added strength for Tom Campbell who
is advocating those things the Antisaloon
league im wanting. Perhaps the announce-
ment of Judge Jenkins against so formid-
able a candidate as Chief Justice Phillips
is a means to an end. What the end is Is
what is puzzling no few.
The announcement of Charles B. White
for comptroller was no surprise. He an-
nounced two years ago and withdrew
from the race. There are many who are
predicting the same course this year.
However he is advocating Tom Camp-
bell for the United States senate and was
State purchasing agent under bis regime
in office.
John W. Baker of Crosbyton after hav-
ing once withdrawn In public announce-
ment from the race for State treasurer
has decided that he will make the race.
He opposed J. M. Edwards Incumbent
in a previous election and was badly
beaten when his opponent polled more
votes than any Other man in the race.
BAKER MADE A
BELATED DECISION.
Mr. Baker only recently advised the
secretary of the State democratic execu-
tive committee to retain his nam a an
applicant for the office and it will be
placed on the ballot in July.
There is another name on the ticket
whom Fort Worth lawyers say is similar
to that of a former assistant attorney
general. It Is that of Charles T. Row-
ind of Fort Worth whose name In th
last hours was placed on the list to be
printed on the ballots. His bar colleagues
In Fort W-erth say this is another Row-
land than the one who was formerly a
member of the attorney general's depart-
ment. H. A. Halbert of Coleman was the op-
ponent of Fred W. Davis commissioner
of agricultura two years ago and was
defeated for the office. He is however
again running for the office against his
old opponent.

NOMINATION OF
HUSHES SURPRISE.
The nomination of Hughes on th third
ballot came as a surprise to many. It
was not generally expected that th fav-
orite son booms would disintegrate so
quick. Jealousy in th favorite sons'
camps waa th cause of it alL Late Fri-
day night it waa rumored that Burton
had been promised th second place on
the ticket if he would drop out ia favor
of Hughes. ' Burton did not have th
strength In 'the convention which was
expected and he la aaid to have listened
to these overtures. Then the New York-
er who hate Hitchcock got busy with the
Sherman forces and when tales of this
tampering spread the IUInoia folks cam
right out for Hughes. Then th band
wagon rush began.
The Texas delegation had neld its votes
in reserve and had not indicated where
the it would finally land nor was this
determined whan they entered th con-
vention halls Saturday mcrnlng. Th plan
waa to pyramid alowly upon the three or

son's views on party policy. 1
Woman suffragists who led th fight for
a suffrage plank in the republican plat-
form are ready to wage a similar cam-
paign for a suffrage plank in the demo-
cratic platform. Members of the commit-
tee from the suffrage States ar expected
to lend their aid.
Mrs. Carrie Chapman Catt president of
the National American Woman Suffrage
association is here with other of the
movement to direct the fight. Democratic
national committeemen say there are In-
dications that the party will take a posi-
tion on suffrage similar to that of the re-
publicans thAt is a declaration in prin-
ciple for suffrage but leaving it a matter
for the States to determine.
The leaders now here do not expect any
sustained fight for a prohibition plank.
RUMORS OF TROUBLE
FROM BRYAN.
There were unconfirmed reports Sunday
night that William J. Bryan though not
a delegate would find some way to pre-
cipitate a fight on the preparedness plank
but none of his friends here was in a
position to say how he might touch on
th issue in a convention In which he is
not a delegate.
Mr. Bryan will only be able to address
the convention with the unanimous con-
sent of Its 1092 delegates and he may not
occupy a seat on the .floor of the conven-
tion unless both a delegate and his alter-
nate retire and give him their proxy.
Work on the convention hall is being
rushed and the national committee is con-
fident it will be ready for the first ses-
sion. Day and night carpenters and dec-
orators are at work transforming the Coli-
seum Into a convention hall. Nearly IX-
000 seats have been provided for the dele-
gates alternates proas and spectators and
the demand for ticlttts has far outrun th
supply.
The national commute has threatened
with arrest any one found speculating In
tickets to the convention. A local com-
mittee which subscribed heavily to the
fund that brought the convention to this
city has set a price of 150 for a ticket tor
the week.
Charles F. Murphy leader of Tammany
hall with several members of the New
York delegation was expected to precede
the main body of the New York delega-
tion and Tammany men numbering near-
ly a thousand who are expected here on
special trains Tuesday. Tammany is send-
ing the largest contingent of any State.
The New. York men are Interested in the
keynote speech to be delivered by former
Governor Martin J. Glynn of New York

He and Senator Ollle James of Kentucky
who is to be permanent chairman are ex-
pected Monday.
