MISLEADING SAYS WOLTERS.
HOUSTON Jan. 23 J. F. WoltorB
chairman of tho nnti statewide prohi-
bition organization of Texas has Is-
sued the following statement:
I obsorvo through tho press that tho
attorney general's department of Tex-
as has held that a young man who
reaches tho ago of 21 years after the
date fixed for tho primaries in July
but before the goneral election cannot
voto at such primary election but can
vote at tho general election.
This opinion givon out at this tlmo
may cause some young men who will
becomo of ago before tho gonornl elec-
tion to bo held In July not to npply
for nn exemption certificate.
With nil duo respect to tho nttorney
gonernl's depnrtmont of Texas if tho
published report correctly states tho
opinion of that department I am not
propared to concur therein. Section
23 of tho act provides;
"Every malo person whp will bo
21 years old on or boforo tho dny of an
election and was not subjoct to a poll
tax preceding the oolctlon at which he
desires to vote and who by reason of

ject to a poll tax but has or will be-
TO DISCUSS IRON LEASE
INVESTIGATING COM. TO MEET.
WILLS P0INTJan.23 It was learn
ed here tonight that a special moot-
ing of. the penitentiary Investigating
committee will bo hold at Austin early
this week nnil that Chalrrnan 0 .E. Gil-
more of the committee will probably
go to Austin tomorrow to attend It.
' It is understood that the meeting
has been called at tho Instnnco of
Governor Campbell who It now ask-
ed to approvo a contract between tho
Penitentiary Board and John L. Worth
am and aSslcates for tho leasing of tho
Iron Intdustry and he desires to get
the views of tho committee beforo tak-
ing any action In tho matter.
The act of the Legislature under
which this committee is operating re-
quires ft to make n thorough Investi-
gation of the iron Industry and report
upon the expediency of its operation
by the state. It is supposed that Gov-
ernor Campbell does not desire to ap-
prove a contract the leasing of tho in-
dustry and later have the committee
recommendThat tho state continue to
operate it hence this meeting.
It Is thought that ho will ask the
committee to get in touch with the rau-
litors by wire that thoy may submit
I preliminary report and later Bubmlt
I report of a more formal nature.
Tho contract now ponding with Mr.
IVortuam allows him a three-year
leaso on tho plant with nn option
of seven moro nt tho expiration of tho
three. This is a rather long contract
and Governor Campbell wants tho ad-
vice of the Investigating committee. It
Is hardly thought posslble.that tho in-
vestigating committee will recommend
that the state continue to operate tho
industry so that tho presen negola-
tlons wll hardly bo Interfered with
but rather sanctioned.
