VACILLATION AND WEAKNESS IN
DEALING WITH MEXICO
CONDEMNED.
By Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Juno 24.—Senator Polndex-
(f ter (Republican) of Pennsylvtyiia told the
Fifteenth District Club here tonight that
"the mission of the Republican party ?n
the immediate future is to save the Repub
lie from the process of National disintegra-
tion in progress during the present admin-
istration."
Denouncing "Democratic vacillation and
weakness In dealing with Mexico," Senator
Polndexted aaid the Republican party
should elect a President who would ful-
fill the responsibilities the Nation had
assumed in Mexico and "re-assert Ameri-
can honor and self-respect so that our citi-
zens lawfully in that country would not
be forced to ransdhi their lives with
money."
"The suggestion now made in some quar-
ters," he continued, "that Great Britain
should be invited to restore order In Mex-
ico should be denounced as false to our
fundamental policies, and a Republican
Congress should restore order in Mexico
and adjust on correct principles its inter-
national obligations."
Senator Polndrxter advocated repeal <f
"the act of the Democratic Congress au 1
President internationalizing the Panaua
Canal; repudiation of the promise of 'he
Democratic Administration to haul down
the American flag in the Philippine Isl-
ands"; repeal of the extraordinary powers
vested in the President during the emer-
gency and speedy reduction of war taxes
through elimination of waste and ineffi-
ciency, and the framing of a tariff bill to
protect industry and maintain wages.
Turning his attention to radical agita-
tors, the Senator said it should be the
first care of a Republican Administration
to stamp out of the country the propa-
ganda and anarchy of revolution.

LOCAL SHOWER PRECEDED
BY ELECTRICAL DISPLAY
Reports received from several sections
of the State last night indicate that the
rain which began falling here at 10:45
o'clock was only local. Light showers,
however, were reported from Austin and
Del Rio, and at Eagle Pass more than an
inch of rain fell during the day.
The rain in San Antonio was preceded
by a spectacular electrical display. No
damage from this was reported last night.

iU the National Legislature and in the
electoral college and warned that the pass-
age of the suffrage resolution would be
likely to complicate the situation there.
He denounced the opposition for the estab-
lishment of "gag rule" jn their haste to
pass the measure. He declared the suf-
frage amendment is an invasion of State
rignts.
••f would as willingly," he declared, "vote
to dynamite the Confederate monument on
the Capitol grounds and to erect a Bolshe-
vik monument over the graves of our dead
In France, as to vote for this measure."
Dag by of Lavaca made an extended
speech in opposition to the adoption of
the measure, also arguing the principle
of States rights. The only speech for
the resolution was by King of Erath, who
ridiculed the arguments of the opposition
and so interested the membership that
his time was twice extended.
As soon as Representative King had con-
cluded Pedigo of Travis moved the pre-
vious (question. There was considerable
opposition to cutting off debate, but his
motion carried by a vote of 65 to 51. The
resolution was then engrossed by a vote of
9t» to '11.
Speaker Thomason, holding that a joint
resolution must take the same course as a
bill, Bledsoe moved the suspension of the
constitutional rules and the passage of
the resolution to third reading. This car-
ried by a vote of 108 to 0. On final passage
the vote was as follows:

Twenty seven were absent or present and
not voting.
W. A. Black of San Antonio was the
only one of the Bexar County delegation
consistently supporting the resolution
throughout. Representatives O. B. Black,
Nordhaus and Lange switched on the mo-
tion to suspend the constitutional rules
and voted for final passage, after voting
with the opposition through all the other
{ests of strength.
Aside from the passage of the suffrage
resolution and the Introduction of the
judiciary and eleemosynary appropriation
bills and one Increasing the salaries of
the officials of State institutions, the
House did little business of importance
today.
Resolutions were adopted commending

similar invitation to Congressman Hefflin
served exclusively the power to themselves
by a vote of th people at large to in any-
way alter, change or amend the Constitu
tion; therefore it would be a direct vio-
lation of the plain provisions of the State
Constitution by the Legislature, which
would be an usurpation of power and an
embezzlement of authority: and
Whereas, By section 21) of the said bill
of rights, to emphasize their inherent
power, it was expressly stipulated and
provided:
"To guard against transgressions of the
high powers herein delegated, we declare
that everything in this bill of rights is
excepted out of the general powers of gov-

Whereas. Any act of the Legislature
setting aside or abrogating or suspending
any clause of the State Constitution would
be in direct violation of this provision of

null and void ; and
Whereas, should this Legislature by a
majority vote adopt or ratify the amend-

would be in violation of the provisions of
the State Constitution, without the people
first having so instructed them to do, it

Legislature would be jn direct violation
of this vote and in the face of such de-
cided majority against amending the State
Constitution, which is necessary to con
form ii to the amended Federal Consti-

WASIIINGTON, D. C., June 21.—Inas-
much as the Industrial and commercial re-
generation of Europe will be the prime ne-
cessity after the conclusion of peace it was
believed |in official circles here today that
consular officers would be sent by the
United States to enemy countries before
diplomatic representatives are accredited
to their governments.
Although the subject has not vet been
officially considered some State* Depart-
ment authorities were of the opinion that
a charge d'affaires would precede the dis-
patching of an ambassador to (*« rmany. So
far as is known there has been no sug-
gestion of reducing the rank of America's
diplomatic representative to Germany, but
some persons believe the changing of the
embassy to a legation is possible.
It is considered in some quarters doubt-
ful that the United States and the allied
powers will return their diplomatic repre-
sentatives to Germany before (iermany
is admitted to the League of Nations. In
the meantime there will be in Germany
numerous commissions aud agents « reated
by the allied and associated {towers to
supervise the execution of the terms of the
peace treaty.
The flow of consular officers to Turkey
and Russia has already begun despite the
fact that diplomatic relations have not been
re-established with either country.
There is expected to be a rush of com
mercial agents to the enemy countries from
neutral territory directly after the sign-
ing of the peace treaty. It has been re-
ported from Europe that large quantities
of merchandise have been assembled, espe-
cially by British and American interests,
in these neutral countries for the pur-
pose of forwarding them to Germany and
(ierrnan Austria when the embargo is
lifted.

Whereas, Section 40 of article 3 of the
Constitution of the State of Texas pro-
vides :
"When the Legislature shall be convened
in special session there shall be no legisla-
tion upon subjects other than those des-
ignated in proclamation of the Governor
in calling said session, or presented to
them by the Governor, and no such hps

and
Whereas. The Governor of the State of
Texas in his proclamation convening this
special session of the Legislature of Texas
did not mention or designate in such proc-
lamation the question of the ratification of
the Susan It. Anthony amendment to the
Constitution of the United States of
America, and
"Whereas. The ratification of such
amendment by the Legislature of the State
of Texas is^ legislation within the meaning
of section 40 of article 3 of the Constitu-
tion of the State of Texas, and. therefore,
the Legislature has no authority at this
time to ratify the proposed amendment to
the Constitution of the United States, and
their, action in so doing at this time would
be in direct contravention of the plain
and unambiguous language of the Consti-
tution of the State of Texas, and
Whereas, The people of the State of
Texas ttt an election held on the 24th day
of May, 1919, did by a decisive majority
of more than 2."},000 votes refuse to amend
the Constitution of this State so as to ex
tend the right of franchise to the women
of the State of Texas, and
Whereas. To amend the Constitution of
the United States by ratifying said amend-
ment would be a direct repudiation of the
expressed will of the people of Texas, and
Whereas, Ratification of said amendment
would be repudiation of the principles of
State rights, which has ever been a cher
ished principle of the democratic party,
and the right of the State to prescribe
the qualification of voters; and
Whereas, In the last authoritative dec-
I laration of the Democratic party of Texas
| upon National issues held at San Antonio
May 24. 1010, th«* following was one of
the planks adopted by said convention,
' namely:
"Adhering to the fundamental principle
! that evpry State has the right to deter
I mine the qualifications of its own voters, 1
we declare our unalterable opposition to
I female suffrage amendment to the Federal
! Constitution." and
Whereas, Section 1 of the bill of fights
; provides:
"Texas is a free and independent State,
subject only to the Constitution of the ,
| United States, and the maintenance of our '
1 free institutions and the perpetuity of the
Union depend upon the preservation of the
j right of local self-government, unimpaired ;
' to all the States," and
Whereas. Section 2 of the bill of rights I
of the State Constitution of Texas pro- j
vides:
"All political power is inherent in the
people and all free governments are found-
ed on their authority, and instituted for
their benefit. The faith of the people of
Texas stands pledged to the preservation
of a republican form of government and
subject to this limitation only, they have
at all times the inalienable right to alter,
reform or abolish their government in
such manner as they may think expe
dient"; and
Whereas. This does not delegate author-
ity to the legislature of Texlis to change,
modify, abrogate or suspend any clause of
the State Constitution, but emphatically
declares that that body cannot do so: and
Whereas. Under article 17 of the Texas
State Constitution it is provided that the
only means or manner by which the State
Constitution may be altered, amended or
abridged, is by a direct vote of the people
on the proposed amendment; and
Whereas. If the I/erislature should ratify
the proposed amendment to the Federal
Constitution it would abrogate article 0 of
the State Constitution and destroy the
right of the State to control suffrage with-
in the bounds of Texas without submitting
this question to a vote of the people of

WASHINGTON. I>. C. June 24.—Confi
dence that President Wilson will proclaim
demobilization before Juiv 1. thereby pre-
venting war-time prohibition from going
into effect on that date now amounts
to a conviction.
This confidence rests upon the belief
that the President will not submit the
liquor men «»f the country to the injury
which would be brought about by com-
pulsory suspension of the liquor business
until demobilization is declared.
It was pointed out today by various
Government officials as well as members
of Congress that the prohibition act is a
war-time measure only, and although ic
should go into effect July 1 it would end
automatically the minute demobilization
is declared. This would leave liquor men
free to reopen their establishments and
to sell liquor until January 10, 1020, when
the constitutional amendment, providing
for prohibition, takes effect
Regardless of its bearing on the prohi-
bition act, official declaration that the
military forces of the United States have
been demobilized is expected to be made
long before the prohibition amendment to
the Constitution takes effect next January,
which is more than seven months away,
and if the prohibition act passed by ( on
gress is permitted to take effect July 1.
the liquor men would then have to go to
the trouble to re-establish themselves.
This being the situation confidence pre
vails that the President will declare* de-
boliziatiou before July 1 so as to prevent
complications and injury brought about
by the operation which is likely to be
only temporary.
Another factor which complicates the
situation, and which leads to the belief
that the President will declare the army
demobilized before July 1 is that there
is no machinery for the enforcement of
the war time prohibition act. It wa<«
stated here today that Its enforcement
would rest with the Department of Justice
agents, with such assistance as would be
given by the agents of the Commissioner
of Internal Revenue.
Not Enough Operatives.
Officials frankly stated today that th *
force of operatives of the Department of
Justice is not large enough to deal prop-
erly with the enforcement of National
prohibition act. It was also pointed out
that funds were not available for the en
largement of the force.
In the House, committees are busy whip
ping into shape legislation to provide fo«*
the enforcement of prohibition, but grave
doubt is expressed that the measures can
be enacted before July 1 The general
plan is to enforce prohibition through a
bureau of the Department of the Treasury
headed by a "Prohibition Commissioner "
An appropriation of $3,500,000 is called for
by the plan.
The House Judiciary Committee, which
is drafting legislation for the enforcement
of war-time and constitutional prohibition,
today elimiuated from the original draft
of the bill the provision prohibiting drink
inn in private homes
This committee also sanctioned the pos
session of liquor after July 1. provided it
is obtained before that date. This means
that those fortunate persons who have
been laying in a supply of wet goods in
j anticipation of the long drought may con
tinue to stock up without fear of Federal
interference.
An amendment proposed by Represent
: ative Igoe of Missouri, which would per
j mit judges to suspend sentences in cases
of first violation of the liquor laws was
voted down.

At a meeting of Alamo Post. American
Legion, last night in the St. Mark's audi-
torium. announcement was made that more
than a thousand new members had been
procured for the local organization. This
total is the result of a hftge membership
campaign undertaken by the post at its
last meeting. The drive will be continued,
it was stated, and an effort made to pro-
cure a record breaking attendance at a
meeting to be held Tuesday, July 1. This
session will be the last until the second
Tuesday in August.
Discussion at the meeting was centered
on the program to be followed in securing
employment for returned soldiers. A num-
ber of suggestions were made and the de-
cision reached to take an active part in
seeing that local busines firms help in
the work of re employment. Attendance
at the session was litrht due to the un-
settled weather conditions.
Word has been received from Col. Henry
D. Lindsev of Dallas. National chairman
of the legion, that titles or designations
of rank will be dropped from all mem-
bers not in the aervice. This decision
was reached, he stated, at a recent meet
ing of the executive committee.
When the legion convenes in Minneapolis
November 0. 10 and 11. all members except
those not discharged will be called 'mis-
ter.' This plan will increase the frater-
nal relationship in the organization and
eliminate the difficulties of rank. As
pointed out in the report from Dallas, the
organization is not militaristic, but is
composed of soldiers, sailors and marines
who served in the world war. Any sug-
gestion of the military is unnecessary.
"We stand for democracy and American-
ism," Colonel Lindsey said. '1 believe
the greatest way in which we can show
our feeling along these lines is to abolish
distinction and put every man on equal
footing."
The American Legion is thought to be
the first organization of ex-soldiers to
abolish all titles and marks of rank.
