lEWUWSTO
BENEFIT STATE
Believes Next Administration
Has Opportunity for Con-
structive Legislation.
OPTIMISTIC AS TO SUCCESS
Running Mate of Ferguson
Believes Prohibition Will
h Not Be “Issue.”
[ t That an unprecedented opportun-
ity for constructive legislation is of-
Wred the next state administration
/J the opinion of W. P. Hobby of
[Chaumont Democratic nominee for
[iitenant governor. With the pro-
f Vition Issue removed from ton-
y he is confident the Degisla.
Lre will devote its attention to a
Wit erial program and will enact
//ws to stimulate the industrial and
Agricultural prosperity of Texas
if Mr. Hobby arrived Monday morn
■ng to participate In the festivities
Connected with the Colquitt-Heard
fweddlng. He is a friend of Raw-
ling Colquitt son of the governor
who wil be married in this ci.ty
Wednesday.
When seen at the Ounter hotel
Mr. Hobby expressed himself as opti-
mistic that a great deal of good for
the material interests of the state
will be accomplished during the term
of the incoming administration.
Expects “Pros" to Keep Quiet.
"Mr. Ferguson has made known
his Intention of vetoing any meas-
ures having to do with the prohi-
bition question" remarked Mr.
Hobby "and the people of the state
made known that they were tired
of the issue when they voted down
submission at the last election. With
such conditions existing the prohibi-
tion question should not occupy any
time at the next session of jhe Legis-
lature.
“The representatives and senators
■will turn their attention to things
more worth while such as the enact-
ment of taws which will tend to the
upbuilding of the agricultural and
industrial interests and other ma-
terial measures. There is no doubt
that the prohibition issue has re-
trarded seriously constructive legis-
lation in the last six years. Now
the Issue Is removed at least tem-
porarily. and the field is clear for
things that count."
Appreciates Support Here.
Mr. Hobby is appreciative of the
support given him in Bexar county
in the last election. He won by a
comfortable plurality over his op-
ponent in the race for lieutenant
governor and the votes In this county
helped materially in making his vic-
tory conclusive.
Speaking of general conditions.
Mr. Hobby voiced the opinion that
conditions gradually will adjust
themselves in Texas and throughout
the South even if the European war
continues indefinitely. He said the
state and nation unquestionably had
suffered a temporary setback by
reason of the struggle but predicted
prosperity will return stronger than
ever In the near future.
After the Colquitt-Heard wed-
ding Mr. Hobby will return to Beau-
mont. where he is publisher of the
Beaumont Enterprise.

HOUSTON STREET
Bears Weight of 140 Tons
Without Showing Weak-
ness or Defect.
A test of the Houston street
bridge which was made Sunday
demonstrates that this structure is
capable of bearing a weight of 140
tons or 280.000 pounds at one time.
In fact Engineer NlcoHsen who Is
In charge of bridge construction for
thp city is confident that the bridge
can safely bear a weight nf 200 tons
•nr 400.000 pounds without danger
of serious defect.
"The plans for the Houston street
bridge called for no ornamentation
whatsoever." explained the engineer.
Mayor Brown explained that he did
not want money expended on any-
thing not absolutely necessary so
।we designed a bridge which had
utility for its main and sole object.
The Commerce street bridge being
designed tn carry the statue of the
late Mayor Jones and a drinking
fountain will be more pleasing to
the eye perhaps and the same is true
of the Alasan creek bridge nn West
Commerce street."
The old steel bridges from Hous-
ton and Commerce streets ar© being
erected at the Guenther and John-
son street crossings. The bridge for
the former is now nearly completed
and will be open for traffic In a few
days. Work on the latter bridge was
delayed owing to the fact that the
administration did not wish to tie up
both crossings at the same time.

TYRELL IS GRATIFIED
AT CONDITIONS HERE
Hotel Manager Says San
Antonio Suffers Less Than
Other Cities.
San Antonio is in far better con-
dition than the majority of American
cities according to Percy Tyrell
manager of the Gunter Hotel who
has just returned from a two weeks’
trip to the North. He said business
is more brisk and the outlook is
brighter her© than in any of the
cities he visited.
"In Chicago building activity is at
a standstill and the same is largely
tru© of St. Louis. Memphis and New
Orleans” said Mr. Tyrell. “None of
those places are in as good shape as
San Antonio as nearly as I could
ascertain. Of course the municipal
improvements and other work under
Xhstmcffvo/y Iftdivjduai
way here help things out. but even
putting those considerations aside.
San Antonio has a healthier tone
than is to be found at other points.
“For instance the Gunter Hotel is
doing more business in proportion
to its size than any of the hotels In
cities I visited. In a couple of cases
its business exceeds that of far larger
hostelries. The condition of hotels
always is indicative of a city’s stand-
ing."
r. Tyrell said the North is tak-
ing steps to help out id the present
cotton crisis. He told of how bales
were to be seen in front of stores on
State street in Chicago a good sign

in view of the usual indifference of
New York and Chicago In matters
which concern other part of the
country.
"And another thing I can «ay for
Chicago.” remarked Mr. Tyrell. "I.

law. You are at liberty to walk wher e
you please."
