Del Rio, Tex., July 25. This city is likely to get itself very much talked about because of the action of the elec tion commissioners at the recent Demo cratic primary in carrying out a reso lution adopted unanimously b the? Democratic executive committee. Ever since elections have been held in this border town a distinct and large socalled purchasable vote lias been brought to the noils and no doubt many times controled the situation. The rep resentative people of the city have long sickened of such a method and have attempted time after time to bring about a more healthy condition, but until the recent primary no de cisive action was ever taken. The Democratic executive committee in pre paring for the primary adopted unani mously a resolution against permitting anybody to vote who "could not read and write the English language." Sen timent from all sides complimented the committee and not a voice of protest from a single representative citizen went up against the resolution. At the primary the election commis sioners carried out the resolution to the letter, but protests from those who are most active in local politics were ..numerous; rulings were flashed on the I commissioners declaring the action Il legal, and pressure in other ways brought to bear. The commissioners were Arm and carried out their instruc tions and for the first time in the his tory of Del Rio, the purchasable, illit erate, indigert Mexican vote failod to control the situation. : teeee votes that WERE NEVER VOTED Hotv Brotherinlaw of Ring Manager Got a Ring Worker Out of 'Way.

IMMIGRATION" INTO BAITIMOR- HEA VALLEY SECTION Swenoon Land Company Bring In Large Number People Like Base ball Pecos to Play Next Snnday. Balmorhea, Texas, July 25. Immi gration from the northern and eastern states into Toyah valley has com- j menced with new vigor, after the com paratively dull season of the past few months. The farming communities in other states have been so extremely busy with their crops that they have not had time to investigate this, the foremost of all agricultural states in the union. No better evidence of the ingress Into Toyah valley Is shown than by the exceptionally large party of pros pective buyers which the Swensen Land company brought into the valley on Its last excursion. There were two carloads of them, one car coming from Kansas, and the other direct from Chi cago. Both cars were taken out over the new railroad, which is being built from Pecos to Balmorhea. The Swen sen Land company officials state that this last excursion was by far the larg est they have had for a number of months, and that they are well pleased with the results of the trip. One of the best evidences of the health and general vitality of the in habitants of Balmorhea and Toyah val ley, is the vigorous interest which they manifest in sports of all descriptions. Every Saturday afternoon the baseball diamond is brought into use. except on frequent occasions, of course, when the Balmorhea nine leaves the city to play a visiting game. i-.ciaL oaiuraay me baseball nine from Barstow made the trip of over 45 miles to Balmorhea., only to suffer defeat at the "hands of the Balmorhea boys, with a score of 14 to 4. Next Saturday the Balmorhea boys hope to cross bats with the Pecos nine. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. J. McQueen, G. H. roundhouse fore man, left for New Orleans Sunday night on a vacation trip.

The heaviest vote In the history of EI Paso was polled and, though all returns are not in, those which have been re ceived show that all "ring" candidates have been nominated, that Colquitt is the choice of El Paso county for gov ernor and that submission was defeated in this county. One of the surprises was the fact that Ysleta, Ike Alderete's home, went against the "ring;" also that many of the Mexican polls did not give as large "ring" majorities as had been expected. Feeling was at a high pitch all day Saturday; charges were made by both sides that opponents were acting im properly, two arrests of judges were made by deputy sheriffs under Hall, one in the fifth and one In the fourth j precincts, u-iiu a.n oraer was issueu tu the chief of police by mayor W. F. Rob inson to arrest any deputy sheriff who attempted to enter the polls to arrest any of the judges. It was feared that this might cause trouble, but there was none.

Austin, Tex., July 25. Announcement was made here today on gooc authority that governor Campbell will send a spe cial message to the legislature this week recommending important legisla tion of the liquor traffic. It is said that representative Tarver is the author of a bill containing prac tically the same quart and five mile laws, advocated by judge Poindexter in his campaign which closed Frlday nlght. The legislature is not in session this morning, a quorum having failed to ar rive. Recess was taken until this aft- ernoon. Seventy-nine representatives and 15 senators answered roll call. Baker, of Hood county, will probably introduce the insurance bill, an admin istration measure, tomorrow. Many of the legislators who Ment home to vote, returned to Austin Sun day night. "With the primaries out of the way, there is nothing to prevent the legislature from getting down to busi ness. If matters at its disposal are to be got out of the wav in the time remaining of the , special session the members will have to orK wlth a will. A number of the new members elected Saturday to fill vacancies also arrived and qualified. Speaker Mehall Is expected this afternoon or tomorrow to fill all of the vacancies on the com mittees of which there are a number of important ones. It is understood tha-c the new insur- ance law. drawn by state senator Hu -- ! peth, meets Avith the approval of the governor and the legal approval of the attorney general's department and will be. the administration measure. It will go to the proper committees immedi ately and quick action is expected. The Governor a Puzzle. The interest In what the governor will do continues to be greater than from the polls, and in precinct five, v, here an attempt was made to close the polls until the supervisors were ap pointed and finally took their places. In East El Pa:o A. G. Duchene, the pre siding judge, was arrested on a charge of soliciting a vote and in precinct four Manuel Menes was arrested on a similar charge, both being later released on bond. Hall Not Whipped. Hall declared just before the close of the polls: "If I win or lose. I am going to keep on fighting them." When the majority of the returns were In from the city precincts Satur day night. Park Pitman said: "Well, if they did not beat us this time, they can never beat us." Former mayor Jo. U. Sweeney said that he had converted a life-long Re publican, whom he forced to swear that he was a Republican but wanted to vote the Democratic ticket. The various delegates from the-dif-ferent precincts will be present Satur day and elect delegates to the state convention. Their names have not yet been turned in to the county chairman and he will not receive them for a day or two. The expenses of the primaries are be ing met by the various candidates for the offices in question. The Returns.

The Saturday Arrests. Asked Saturday night if it might be LIOUOR anything else. The business interests of the United States never awaited more eagerly the message of the president of the United States than do the legisla tors what governor Campbell will have to say. The general impression seems to be that the senatorial bee is buzzing around in the governor's bonnet in an active way and that he will attempt to make his actions during th present legislature the means of elevating him to that position at the expense of "Unit ed States senator Joseph TV. Bailey. Bailey's friends are aware of 'this and that will result in the Bailey question being kept more or less prominentlv in the front during the entire session. " 5or n. Minlns Lave Among the new matters to be submit ted this week by the governor will un doubtedly be the matter of a new min ing law as suggested by commissioner of the land office Robison. This law is favored by nearly all of the legislators ! and would be passed with very little debate. The general concensus of opin ion is that mining development all over the state is being hampered by the present laws in regard to minerals of the state school land. State senator Hudspeth will probably appear as the champion of this meas ure also. He seems to be developing Info the right hand man of governor Camp bell, which Is rather surprising in view of the relations existing between them at the regular sesion. Senator Huds peth is credited with doing more than any one senator to defeat submission and In many other instances opposed the pet measnres of Campbell.
