MAYES TO SUBMIT
TO ELIMINATORS
Believes He Could Be Nominated Any-
way But Yields for Sake of
Party Harmony.
Brownwood Tex. Feb. 2. Lieuten
ant Governor Will H. Mayes has is-
sued an open letter to the people of
Texas announcing his purpose to en-
ter the prohibition elimination conven-
tion to be held in Fort Worth Febru-
ary 21 and bespeaking support. His
letter follows:
"As matters now stand in the race
for Governor following the Fort
Worth conference the prohibition
Democrats of Texas are to meet at
their county seats on Saturday Feb-
ruary 14 to select delegates to at
tend a conference to be held in Fort
Worth on Saturday February 21 to
endorse a prohibition candidate for
Governor the basis of representation
to be one for every ten votes for pro-
hibition in 1911.
"I have in the interest of harmony
made the statement that although I
believe I can be nominated for Gov-
ernor in the July primaries without
such action still If a representative
delegation of prohibition Democrats
from all sections of the State think
otherwise I will not stand in the way
of prohibition success.
"I did not participate In the first
conference held In Dallas because I
did not believe it practical or desira-
ble to hold the suggested prohibition
primaries. The plans finally adopted
there were less open to objection but
It appeared to me that the suggested
organization was hostile to my candi-

FIGHT SUBMISSIOn
Says Prohibition la Not a Party Issue
and Should Be Settled Outside'
the Party.
Austin. Tex. Feb. 2. Sam Sparks
of Austin who two weeks ago an-
nounced his candidacy for the Texas
governorship subject to the action of
the Democratic primary has submit-
ted for publication his platform.
One of the most Interesting planks
deals with the question of prohibition.
He says that it Is not a party issue
and pledges himself to oppose submis-
sion in the primary. He gope further
and says that the State should devote
its attention to material matters and
not to the liquor question. He ap-
proves of local option and the present
regulatory laws and says that he will
not approve any further 'egulatory
measures as being unnecessary at
this time.
of those who participated and those
who will take part in the coming con-
ventions to decide who Is believed by '
prohibition Democrats of all sections
of the State under existing conditions
to be able to poll the greatest strength
in the July primaries and therefore
the logical candidate upon whom pro-
hibition Democrats can unite a test
to which I am entirely willing to sub-
m!t my candidacy.
"Mr. Lane has refused to submit his
candidKcy to any such test and there-
fore cannot be considered in the Fort
Worth conference leaving me the only
announced candidate seeking that en-
dorsement It Is true that a number
of other prohibitionists have been
mentioned for Governor but some of
these have declined and others have
hesitated to become candidates."
