Petitions are being circulated
all over Texas to be presented
to the State Democratic Execu
tive Committee, asking that the
question of submission be again
placed on the primary ticket.
This was deemed expedient on
the part of the submissionists,
as the opposition was freely
claiming that the vote two years
ago would not be binding on the
next Legislature. We believe
submission will win out in July,
