Special Dispatch.
Austin Tex. June 6.—ln a statement
given out yesterday W. E. Hawkins
commissioner of insurance and banking
puts the fire rating board law which
has become an issue in the gubernator-
ial campaign up to O. B. Colquitt and
asks for a specific statement from the
latter as to his position on the law
whether he would seek its repeal if
elected governor or seek to amend it.
The statement is in answer to the com-
munication made public Friday by Mr.
Colquitt in which he resents Commis-
sioner Hawkins’ prediction that he will
change over from opposing the rating
board law before the next primaries.
Four questions are asked Mr. Col-
quitt; one on his exact position another
as to whether he would seek to have
the law repealed by the Thirty-second
legislature if elected governor and
whether he would seek to strike out cer-
tain parts of the law. Mr. Hawkins
asks for specific answers saying that
Colquitt has not yet come squarely out
in opposition to the law.
Replying to Colquitt’s assertion that
“Hawkins is not my mouthpiece’’
Hawkins says he never meant it that
way but Mr. Colquitt has often
changed and he might again. Hawkins
repeats his prediction which offended
Colquitt with this pointed qualifica-
tion: “I now say that if your demand
for the repeal of the law does not cease
before the democratic primaries it will
cease before you are ever elected gov-
ernor of Texas.”
