but others have been decided beyond
the shadow of a doubt. The summary
above gives a fair indication of the
general result, although several of the
bentesta may be chnged by figures
which will come In today or tomorrow.
It appears certain that the question
of submission for a prohtbittn con-
stitutional amendment received a con-
siderable negative vote in Trayin
oounty and a proportionately large
majority was east In fnvor of local op-
tion. tate Benator John Si Willacy,
In charge of the antl-pronfMtlon cam-
paign in this state, with haquartere
here, stated last night that he had
heard indirectly from North Texas that
the submission proposition had been
defeated.
Colonel John Te Peeler was muecens-
fut in both city and countyboxes to a
degree whieh was opected by him, but
which proved something of a surprise
to his opponent. Cotohet Pooler will
go out of Travis county with a mal
jortty of 1100 to 1400 and, as he Is
understood to have beonwery popular
in the other countlew in the district,
his election is bolleyod to be asnured.
The figures given above are very in-
complete beoans of themmabiny to get
returns from the city boxes. The sum-
mary includes only the East First.
Fourth and Sixth wards and partial
returns from the Third ward. The
Second, part of the Third, Fifth and
Seventh wards had not bean fully
counted and no reports 00914 be had
from them up to an early'heur thto
mrnng.
Governor Campbell polled a Targe
vote in both city and eovnty. putting
to fight the fancy which had bean en-
grafted bpon acme that ba wap un-
voplar with the fermere a eteo with
the business man. It to qufte probable
that hla majority wIK reach abve the
2000 mark.
Comptroller tephens. Railroad
Commfsafoner Colquitt, State Buper-
Intenent Cousins, Judze W. Ia Davi-

The race for representative for place
No. 1 Was very one-elded. Judge
Robertson sweoping everythin* before
him. His name was ie only one on
the ballot and in addition to his well
known popularity many probably had
not learned that an opponent had come
out agafnst him at a late hour. The
race between Dr. Daniel and A, O.
Schluter was rather close, but the lat-
ter appears to have secured a sub.
stant majority,
Capain J. P. Kirk appears to be
leading in the contest for tax collector
and the chances for his electon appear
very bright. Dr. Hill from Manor
seems to have captured the office of
tax assenor.
London, July 25—The Olympic games
were brought to a conclusion this atter-
noon, so far as the sports hold in the
stadium were concerned’, when Queen
Alexandra presented the golden meal
and trophies to the successful ones and
the Dowager Duchess of Westminster,
the Duchess of Westminster, the Duch-
ess of Rutland and Lady Desborough
handed the silver and bronze medals,
the diplomas and the commemorative
medals to those entitled to them. A
big crowd attended the function and
cheered the athletes as they came up to
receive their prises.
The Italian, Dorando, was honored
with the greatest ovation, the sympa-
thies of the spectators going out to the
man who had mssed the prise in the
Marathon race as It was just within
hl# grasp. Before the ceremony of
prize-giving began, America captured
two events, the 110-meter hurdles and
the 1600-meter relay, the latter being
the last event on the program. The
Stars and Stripes was the last national
flag to float at the masthead. In all of
the event concluded since the games
began early in the year. Including such
games as water polo and other sports in
which England alone competed, the
present standing of the countrles,

Serious doubts are being expressed in
some of the most influential papers as
to whether the Olympic games served
any good purpose, whereas theoretically
they are supposed to foster interna-
tional friendships, the result of the
meeting just finished has been to, cre-
etc international diesensions and keen
animosities. The relations between the
English and the American athletic of-
ficials have been so strained that It will
be exceedingly difficult for representa-
tives of the two nations to arrange any
competitions in the future or to carry
them "out without unpleasant incidents.
All the American officials and athletes
now hero are convinced that the United
States was robbed of the 400-meter
race, while the English public at any
rate is equally confident that the
American runners had a prearranged
plot to keep Halswelle out of first place
in that even by fair means or foul.
The London newspapers have com-
mented on the case most temperately,
for while they have set forth the view
which the public holds and strongly
sustained the action of the judges, they
have plainly stated that it would be ad-
visable to let the “unsavory episode’*
pass Into oblivion; that it may be for-
gotten by both countries as soon as
possible. Nevertheless, it is not likely
to be dropped or forgotten for some
time. The officials of the Amateur
Athletic association have announced
that they propose to bring the com-
plaint formally to the attention of the
Amateur Athletic union regarding Car-
penter’s alleged foul end the officials
of the Amateur Athletic union are re-
solved to make a strong reply. Hence
acrimonious oorreepondence is likely
to stir up further trouble and a pro-
longed dispute. Through lack of con-
ervatism of the press, the English
public is imbued with a fierce prejudice
against American athletes, which It
will probably cherish for years to come.
The Itallans feel that they have been
treated unfairly by the awarding of the
Marathon race to the American,
Haynes, and they will always believe
that there was a possibility that Do-
rado would have readied the winning
post first alone if he had not been
dragged to his feet and pushed along
by the excited track offlcfals, although
practically every one • who saw his
struggles believe it would have been
utterly impossible for him to have risen
after his last collapse and that prob-
ably he could not have kept on after
th© first fall. Thy also say that it
wan unchlvalrous and ungenerous in
the Americans to claim what the Itai-
Ians call a technical vlotory under th©

In a cablegram sent to President
Roosevelt James E. Sullivan, the
American commissioner to th© games
■aye:
“In the athletic sectfons of th©
Olympic games of 1908, the American
representatives won th© championship
in track and field sports. The Amerl-
cans won fifteen out of a possible
twenty-seven firsts, scoring mor© firsts
than the athletes of the entire world.
On the basis of five points for firsts,
three- for seconds and one third, the
American score is 116 1-2, that of Great
Britain and Ireland being 66 1-8.**
Mr. Sullivan in speaking this even-
ing for the American committee, said:
“Th© Olympic games have not improved
th© friendly relations of England and
America from an athletic standpoint
The governing body will play a more
Important part in the future. It is a
pity the Amateur Athletic association
had control of the games. It should not
have been possible for America to keep
protesting and protesting and put In a
position where lettens were neceevary
every day. It looked as though the
fials of the Amateur Athlotfo asso-
ciation wanted to control everything
themgelves and would not take other
countries Into tohir confidence. They
were working under the old customs
end thought those for the best.
“In the first place, the program was
badly arranged. Inctead of concluding
one event, the officials took up another
race. This prevented men from taking
part In more than one race. They
phould have gone through the heats,
the semi-finals and the final of one race
before starting the heats of another
race. Then all those competent to en-
ter could have started. As a matter of
fact it was entirely too big a proposition
for the men handling it and they are
looking everywhere for support
“I shall never forget as long aaj live
the scene during the 400 metre' race.
The public has been inflamed against
the Americans and the judge, taking a
ignal from some man on the field,
threw up their hands, broke the tape
and vailed the race off before they
knew what had happened. It is ridicu-

After seven hotra" conference
with William Jennings Bryan
and Joseph W. Kerh, respec-
tively democratjo nominees for
president and vice president, the
sub-committee of the national
Testerday marked 'th© close of on©
of th© most exciting and interesting
primary elections that Texas has wit-
nessed in a good many years.
The interest token Was manifested by
the presence of the thousands of voters
at the polis and that their votes were
being made to count was more than
emphasized last night in the slow re-
turns that came in from every section
of the state due to “slow counting” on
account of the enormous vote polled.
In a great many Instances returns
from outlying boxes came in with re-
gard to the race for governor, attorney
general and one or two other races, but
the returns did not cover all the voting
by any means as was evidenced by the
inability to- secure anything like a
d^finate vote upon the “submission’*
proposition notwithstanding the ’ fact
that every effort was made in every
section of th© state to get a record
upon this important question. Judging
from what "estimated" figures were re-
. ceived, however, the submission prop-
osition failed to carry by possibly 50,000
votes, thus leaving the local option
situatlon in Texas as it now exists.
It became very evident by midnight
last night that Governor Campbell had
ben erenominated by a good safe major-
ity which wa variously estimated by
his friends at from 60,000 to -80.000,
Davidson was renominated attorney
general by equally as big a majority.
> Stephens wins for comptroller and
{ Robison was elected land commissioner.
\ Returns cam in exceedingly slow
\ from the black land belt which Wa
‛ looked upon as the battle ground be-
\ tween Campbell and Williams, but that
it was believed perfectly safe for Camp-
bell was made manifest by a statement
issued from his Dallas headquarters
last night to the •fect that he would
carry almost every county in the black
land belt As to this statement the
Williams people demurred, but it would
seem consistent and safe to say that
the Campbell people have justification
for placing their majority limit where
they do.
