famine of the most serious nature is
practically at hand and with no succor
at hand. This Is the information re-

roads to grant the rate. Today the com-
mission was advised by these two roads
that they will gladly grant the rates
but that they have no water on any point
on their roads. The Texas Central ad-
vised that the company Is now using
water out of its private tanks and the
supply is deoldedly limited and with no
hope of being replenished soon. It seems
that this condition of affairs exists at
various points In that section of Texas.

A. J. Houston candidate for governor on
the prohibition ticket was formally noti-
fied of his nomination here tonight. Rev.
W. W. Horner pastor of the Ervay Street
Baptist church of Dallas made the noti-

layman of Dallas had offered prayer.
The blue room of the city hall was fair-
ly well filled to hear Colonel Houston and
he was received with enthusiasm.
The keynote of Colonel Houston a
speech was that all prohibition demo-
crats are absolved from voting the demo-
cratic ticket even though they entered
the primaries claiming that Mr. Colquitt
was guilty of irregularities and that ho
had bolted the platform which should
be more binding than a party pledge.
Colonel Houston cited the recent with-
drawal of W. J. Bryan's allegiance to
the gubernatorial democratic nominee to
clinch his point saying that the demo-
crats of Texas were released on princi-
ple Just as was Mr. Bryan.

On the Prohibition Question Denned
in Statement by Aspirant.
(Houston Post Special.) j
PALESTINE Texas. September 2.
Hon. G. R. Fowler candidate for the
State senate has handed to a Post re-
porter the following statement:
"The fact that my attitude on the pro-
hibition question has been so persistently
misrepresented makes It necessary for me
to inako a statement concerning It
through tho columns of The Houston
Post. I do not believe that Statewide
prohibition Is either wise or expedient as
a governmental measure as distinguished
from its purely moral aspects. I believe
that . the present local option law.
strengthened where necessary and sup-
plemented by wise regulation of saloons.
Is netier man tne conumuu ui Ho-
isting in States where they have State
wide prohibitory laws.
1 voted lor local option in my innm
town In the only local option election In
which I ever voted. I have also votea
for submission because I aesirea to see
the matter settled far more than I de-
sire to have my privato opinion prevail
in my announcement I say: T pledge my-
self to vote and work for the submission
of this amendment as soon as possible
and if It carries I shall do all witnin my
power to frame effective legislation for
carrvlnr out Its Intentions.'
"I believe that the win of tne majority
should govern and that It Is the duty of
the legislature to frame effective laws
for rarrvlna- out that will.
"I see that the most Ingenious efforts
are being made through the papers of
this district and by secretly distributing
circulars to distort both my statement
-and my acts.
"I trust that the above oennes my
views clearly. Tours very truly
"G. R. Fowler."
