It A , COLQUin AIMED AI IS THEORY OF LEGISLATORS Sentiment Is Calling of Special Session at This Time Has an Ulterior Motive. TO SCARE COLQUITT MEN Argued That Campbell Means to Head Off Liquor Inter-# ests By Legislation. Special Dispatch. Austin, Tex., July 20. —Speculation about Governor Campbell’s reasons for calling the legislature in special session just before the primary, seems to be crystalizing upon the theory that the governor wanted to scare the Colquitt army. This is explained . pin the assump tion that the gov rno- believed that the election or Colquitt had been already practically assured by the division of the pro vote among Poindexter, David son and Johnson. It is argued that it was Mr. Camp bell’s desire to spread the belief that Colquitt’s election, instead of putting a stop to prohibition progress in Texas, would result in immediate action to make the whole state dry. While the governor has kept his own counsels, still in the weeks that have passed a few persons have gained some inkling of his real intentions. The supposition most talked about by the legislators is that the governor call ed the special session for a date prior to the primary to make it appear to tho liquor interests that the el< .tion of Colquitt would mean quick retaliation, probably by provision for the calling of a constitutional convention to draft a new constitution for a dry Texas. This theory may be a poor one but it is significant that it seems to be talked of most by members of the senate and the house who are the governor’s best friends. Few persons seem to credit (he statement that a session of the legislature was called just prior to the primary in order to change the ins-r -ance laws. PROHIBITION MEANS A SLUMP, SAYS J. F. RYAN That prohibition will mean that many capitalists will refuse to invest money in Texas, is the opinion of J. F. Byan, chairman of the Colquitt Bexar County club, who returned yesterday from a trip to Chicago, Des Moines, Daven port and other towns in the north and northwest. He believes that if the antis win oiit that capital will come to Texas in large quantities and that the state will be built up accordingly. “There is much unrest among the capitalists 'of the north,’’ said Mr. Byan. “They are waiting to see what action Texas takes on the liquor ques tion. Moneyed men generally are inter ested in the political situation of Texas and are keenly appreciative of what will transpire if prohibition carries this year. It will mean that proposed invest ments will be called off and that Texas will have to depend on herself for de velopment. Money is tight now in the north and east, but I believe that the situation will be relieved by fall.” 60 PER CENT OF THE POPULATION OF THE U. S. live in rural districts remote from phy sicians or drug stores, and they are obliged to depend upon proprietary med icines to a very great extent. To the women in these homes such standard remedies as Lydia E. Pink ham’s Vegetable Compound come as a boon and a blessing.

GRANO TRUNK IS UNABLE TO MOVE FREIGHT Passenger Schedules Fairly Well Maintained Despite Strike of Trainmen. MAY MEAN A GREAT LOSS Carloads of Perishable Freight on Sidings and No Pros pect of Moving Them. Associated Press. Montreal, July 20. —With the more important passenger schedules fairly well maintained, the pressing problem confronting the Grand Trunk railway lies in continued and apparent com plete paralysis of the freight traffic. Carloads of perishable freight aie standing on sidings far and near, and unless it is possible to begin to turn the wheels soon, the property loss will be large. Food supply and crop transpor tation are vitally involved, it is stated. The generally expressed opinion at many important points on the Grand Trunk is that the strikers will be able to continue the freight train hold-up two or three days longer at least. Conductors and yard men in the em ploy of the Wabash on tracks that road leases from the Grand Trunk between Niagara Falls, Ont., and Windsor, Ont., opposite Detroit, have gone out, and as a result the Wabash is having consid erable trouble in moving passenger trains over that division. No attempt is being made to touch freight. MEN ARE IMPORTED. Strike Breakers Pour Into New Eng land to Take Places of Grand Trunk Men. Qcston, Mass., July 20. —Strike breakers from all parts of the country continued to pour into New England today to take the places of conductors and trainmen on the Grand Trunk and Central Vermont railroads now out on strike for higher wages. NO DISORDER AT DETROIT. Detroit. Mich.. July 20. —The Grand Trunk strike developed no disorder or attempted disorder at Detroit ’-st night and today the employers and strikers seemed to settle down for a long drawn out struggle. No attempt is being made to move freight, but pas senger service continues with little interruption.
