hibition Amendment association, has
Issued a call r^iuestlnK the executive
committee nf tin* association to meet
at h'ort Worth on Saturday. July 29,

His call to the executive committee

"To the Members of the Executive
Committee Statewide Prohibition
Assbciation:
"You are hereby called to meet in
session at Fort Worth, Saturday, July

visability of contesting the result ol

Chairman Wolters' Statement.
Houston, Tex.—J F. Wolters, chair
man of the executive committee of
the anti-statewidi' prohibition oruan
izutlon of Taxas, Wednesday Issued
the following statement :
"The proposed amendment to the
State constitution to repeal the loca
option system and substitute state
wide prohibition in lieu thereof lias-
been defeated by a majority of 7,till
votes.
"A contest in the courts will not
reverse the expressed will of the peo
pie Under a law written by them
selves and enacted by their members
of the legislature, the prohibitionists
were entitled to representation in
every election box In this State and
they wore represented at every elec
tion box. A complete analysis of Un-
vote will show that only a very small
percentage of the 51,000 negroes of
over age voted at all and that fully
60 to 75 per cent of those voted for
the amendment. The fact that the
counties of El Paso, Maverick, Webb,
Starr, Hidalgo, Cameron and Duval,
on the border, polled a vote of less
than 50 per cent of their poll tax
strength repudiates any pretended
claim of fraud in that direction."
How Wet counties Voted.

jority for prohibition, are:
