the author of the resolution can rea-
sonably disclaim any desire to bring
on another prohibition fight in this
sut^. nevertheless a jpayfaring man
though a fool can see that bis proi-o-
aition to call a constitutional conven-
tion on the fourth Saturday in July
of this year to all Intents and pur-
poses is' equivalent to submitting an
amendment to the constitution call-
ing for the change so much desired
by those who advocate the abolition
of the saloon.
Mr. Humphrey’s Resolution.
Section 1. of the resolution intro-
duced by Mr. Humphrey provides:
"TJxat there shall ,be submitted to the
voters of this State, at an election
ordered for that purpose, the question
recall ask than a full, free opportun-
ity such as is here offered to put his
theories into full force and effect?
Is the Humphrey idea not indeed and
truth the real chance for the real
progressive? And be it remembered
that many, who lay claim to being
of this class joined forces in electing
Chester Terrell Speaker of the House
of Representatives and practically all
of those who voted for McKamy are
dyed-in-the-wool Progressives. Is it
not reasonable to p>esume that they
will all select this; short route to the
aUainment of their heart’s desires* If
so. it will mean another state-wide
Prohibition fight before the end of
1513, for if a new Constitution is
to be made there will be no way
to avoid it.
The Speaker To Rule.
The Bulletin will distribute a
special edition Sunday morning,
January 19th, which will contain,
in addition to much other valuable
information, an announcement of
much interest to the people of the
city. The paper will be put in every
home in Brownwood before break-
fast Sunday morning, as wellj as
sent all over the surrounding country
and will be a valuable advertising
medium on account of its (wide cir-
culation and the news it will carry.
Advertising copy must be in the
our hands Saturday afternoon.
