law-making body. According to the pres-
ent plans of the prohibition leaders, the
outcome of the legislative contest oil the
proposition, should it prove adverse to
the "dry" side, will not settle the question
by any means. The pros are preparing to
make a fight to the finish and just now
there are under consideration, according to
reliable advice received here within the
last-few days, plans for taking the matter
of voting out the saluntis In Texas directly
before the people. This Is to be done, It
1r stated, by means of calling local option
elections In every "wet'' county In the
State all to be held on the same date.
It is even suggested that In order thor-
oughly to test the prohibition and antl-
prohlbltlon sentiment iu Texas, elections
may be called in every county in the
State, Irrespective of whether they are
now in the "wet" or "dry" column, and
that the elections iu these counties shall
lie held simultaneously. Many of the pro
workers are of the opinion that a state-
wide election of this character would re-
suit In not only all of the existing "dry"
counties remaining as such, but that It
would bring Into their ranks many uf the
counties that are now wet and It Is even
plalmeil by some of the more enthusiastic
pros that it Is barely possible that every
county In the State might go "dry" If an
election of the character suggested was
held. It Is pointed out that a campaign
of this kind would necessarily bring about
such a splitting up aud scattering of the
organised saloon or the llquoi), organiza-
tion aud their workers as to-give them no
chance of concentrating their efforts in
any particular county as has been their
custom in local option elections in the
past.
