with the conditions as they exist all
over Travis County. "There is not

to the antis, but we are satisfied and
pleased.. We are getting reports from
all parts of the county that are very
encouraging,” he said.

said Chairman Joe Corwin of the Anti-
Statewide Committee yesterday, "the
prospects for a very large vote in
Travis is increaaing. It looks live
everybody is going to the poHa. and.
of course, that pleases us. We are
certain that the bigger the vote the
grenter will be our majority not only
in this county but all over the State.”
Mr. Corwin said that personally he
will be very glad when the campaign
is over, and that he feels thankful that

“I know,” he said, "that these elec-

the fewer we have of them the better
off we are. Then I hope we will bury
this erase so deep this time that it
will not bob up again to interrupt the
commercial affairs of Texas for many
years to come.”

"Whereas, recent disclosures of the
illegal distribution of poll tax receipts
indicate an attack on the foundations
of such institutions; therefore be it
"Resolved, By the citizens of Travis
County in mass meeting assembled on
this, the 20th day of July, A. D. 1911,
in the city at Austin, Texas:
"First That we unqualifiedly con-
demn such practice, and call upon all
liberty-loving and law-abiding citisens.
regardless of their views in the Rend
log contest, to assist us in upholding
and maintaining the purity of the bal-
lot.
"Second. In view of said disclosure*
all persons having Illegal possession of
poll tax receipts have been fairly
warned and we therefore pledge our-
selves to extend our aid and influence
for the prosecution to the fullest ex-
tent of the law of all persons who are
guilty of casting illegal ballots at the
election on Saturday. July 22, or at
any subsequent time.
Third. We approve and will encour-
age the continued inyestigation of said
illegal distribution of poll tax receipts,
and pledge our aid and influence in all
legitimate attempts and efforts to in-
vestigate the matter to final and com-
plete disclosures."
During the course of his remarks
Mr. Gregory said that Governor Col-
quitt had appointed on the Board of
Regents for the State University only
men who were strong antl-prohlbl-
tionists and that the governing boards
of the other Institutions in the State
had fared the same way.
Later in the night Mr. Gregory de-
sired to correct this statement, and
gave to The Statesman the appended
ca rd:
To The Statesman:
In a speech made by me at Woold-
ridge Park last night I spoke of the
Board of Regents of the University
being anti-prohibitionists: I find that
in one respect I was misinformed as
Judge N A. Stedman is, I have sub-
sequently been told, a prohibitionist.
I will ask you please to kindiv publish
this correction as the judge is one of
my valued friends.

The last public speaking in Austin
during the present campaign was held
last night at Wooldridge Park and
the Speaker was T. W. Gregory, a local
attorney. It was advertised generally
that Mr. Gregory would confine him-
self to actual local conditions, and to
some extent this promise was kept
The audience was not nearly so large
as on Wednesday night or on several
other recent occasions, still there were
probably 1500 people present.
Before the speaking began the same
band of little children, who have been
made a feature at several prohibition
rallies, was on the platform and sang
a number of songs. The crowd listened
attentively, and barring two separate
dog fights and an Interruption by an
intoxicated man the order was good.
Mr. Gregory had a great deal to day
about Governor Colquitt, out said he
referred to him politically and not per-
sonalfy. He also made some caustic
remarks about John L. Peeler.
He predicted that Travis County will
give from 250 to 500 majority for pro-
hibition and that prohibition will sweep
the State.
Rev. Dr; Bishop opened the meeting
with prayer and then Chairman Jeffer-
son Johnson thanked the ladies and
various organizations for their work
during the campaign, and, in fact,
thanked almost everybody. .
John WJ Robbins then submitted th*
followihg resolutions, which were
adopted by a rising vote:
"Whereas, the purity of th* ballot is
essential to the maintenance of free
