HOUSTON DAILY POST: SATURDAY MORNING MARCH 11 1916.
PROS NOT STOPPED '
BY VERMONT YOTE
Fill Likely Seek Texas Yote on
Question This Year.
Did Not Lose in Vermont Only
Failed to Win Said Barton.
Will Not Affect Besults
in Texas.
(Houston Post Special.)
DALLAS Texaa. March 10. The vic-
tory of the antis In Vermont does not
seem to have dampened the ardor of the
Antisaloon league forces In Texas nor to
have lessened their hope of landing Texas
In the dry column in 1917.
Commenting on the results hi Vermont
Dr. A. J. llarton superintendent of the
Texas league said: "Of course we regret
thut Vermont did not do the sensible
thing and get on the water wagon. We
ure intensely anxious to close every sa-
loon door in America at the earliest pos-
sible moment and we regret every defeat
ami every failure to win. nut the results
of one battle do not determine the results
of the whole war.
"It must not be overlooked that we did
not lose Vermont; we only failed to win
it."
WILL CONTINUE
FIGHT IN TEXAS.
In answer to the question whether the
result In Veimont will affect the plans 6f
the Texas league concerning the pro-
posed election Superintendent Barton
said: Not in the least. Nor will the
results In Vermont affect the probable
results in Texas to any appreciable de-
gree in my opinion. The situation is en-
tirely different. Vermont is a small State
in close proximity to a number of large
wet Status. With lnpuor soaUtd Massa-
chusetts New York and 1'ennsylvania
hard by it Is easy to see how the citi-
zens of Vermont feared they could not
make their law effective.
"With Texas it is quite different.
Texas is a big State surrounded by dry
States except Louisiana Hiid .New .Mex-
ico leaving out .Missouri and Ken-
tucky there are only three States In the
whole South licensing the liquor traffic.
Florida license the sale In sealed pack-
ages not to be drunk on the premises
Texas and Louisiana license the open
driiiMng salon.
EFFECTIVE LA
EASY IN THIS STATE.
"In view of this condition Texas will
have an easy task to make her laws ef-
fective. The two cases are so unlike that
it is believed the results in Vermont will
not at all seriously affect the results in
Texas."
I'r. Uarton said ho is expecting the
" great victory'' for the pros in lUinnels
county to be duplicated in Howie Hut
w hatever the result in any given case he
ays Hie sentiment over the State as a
whole is growing and he is confident of a
Statewide victory.
If Superintendent Barton's views are
tinned by the prohibitionists at large
throughout the State theie is little douot
that the State convention of the Ant i-
B.1I0011 league to assemble in this city next
week will decide to put submission on the
ballot tlua year.
ROOT FOUND NOTHING WRONG
WITH WILSON SAID SENATOR
That Explained "The Silence of
Elihu" Said Ransdell Defend-
ing Administration.
(Aisociatt d Press Report.)
WASHINGTON March 10. A vigorous
r ply to former Senator Elihu Hoot's re-
cti. t arraignment of the administration's
foreign policy was made by Senator Jo-f-
ph K. Uansdcll democrat of Ixiuisiana.
ill a speech entitled "The Silent e of
Elihu." delivered today in the senate.
After declaring that Senator Hoot s si-
lence on I 'resident's Wilson's pan-American
policy was because he could lind
nothing 111 it to criticise. Senator Hans-
ooll took issue with Mr. Hoot's assertion
tliat treaty obligations should have caused
the I'niled Slates to protest against tier-
many s invasion of Belgium.
"The former senator from New York
can not impress upon the I'nited States
its obligation to rescue every nation that
ij in distress." Senator ltansdell asserted
IT
I ititeil Stales was not a partv to
the convention ol November 1... 1831
ngncd by Great Hrilain. Austria. France
lvussia l'russia and Helgium guarantee-
ing the neutrality of Helgium.
"Tin' invasion of Helgium was not a
breach of The Hague convention that was
signed by the I'll. ted States because that
agreement referred to neutral nations
that is. nations not engaged in war and
the obligations It Imposed in regard to in-
vasion hail nothing lo do with a nation
Rcutralizfd by special agreement between
1 oiillicting powers which was the legal
act ol the treaty of 1831. which the I'nited
Hates did not sign. These signatory pow-t-rs
have a right to complain but the
I. nited Stales has not.
"There is. however a peculiar incon-
sistency in Senator Hoot's protest. Was
lie not the public defender and apologist
cf the rape of I'anama bv the I'nited
fctates'.' lias he not in public addresses
attempted to Justify the flagrant violation
of our solemn convention with our weak
Ulster. Colombia and that ruthless disre-
gard of her sovereign rights!"
RECORD WELL AT MAEKHAM.
Has Longest Line of 10-Inch Casing
in Texas.
(Houston Post Special.)
BAY CITY. Texas. .March U).-The
Thomas O'Donnell well at Markhnm be-
ing drilled by C. G. Hamlll. has pro-
pressed entirely satisfactorily to a depth
of 2000 feet with a 10-inch hole.
The longest line of 10-inch casing ever
set In Texas has been sot in this well the
casing being set In cement. Drilling op-
erations have been suspended temporarily
in order to let the cemant set hut work
will be resumed within the next 10 davs.
nt which time the drill will begin its work
of going deeper.
Messrs. Cosner and Hadford are the
drillers In charge. .
The rig being used has a capacity of
6000 feet and a deep well is the objective
of Its owners.
The announcement contained in a news
dispatch from Washington to the effect
that the house committee on flood con-
trol is to visit Hay City the latter part
of this month to ascertain the true con-
dition of the flood damages of the Colo-
rado river has created a profound impres-
sion here unci the people are deeply ap-
preciative of the interest being taken in a
matter so seriously Important to tho en-
tire Colorado river valley.
The people all along the river from
Matagorda to Austin have been working
for relief for years but without any net
result and are Jubilant now over the fact
that the members of the committee on
flood control are to personally visit the
scene and see the actual conditions for
themselves.

WARNED FARMERS
FROM "ALL COTTON"
Reserve Board Member Cautions
Southern Bankers as Well.
Acreage Should Be Seduced as Com.
mon Sense Prevision Against
Market Contin-
gencies. (Associated Press Report.)
BIRMINGHAM Ala. March 10.
Southern farmers were warned not to put
all their eggs in one basket by relying
on cotton as their only crop in a speech
tonight by W. I'. (1. Harding of the fed-
eral reserve board before the Wrmingham
chamber of commerce.
"1 am told" said Mr. Harding "that
there are farmers in Alabama and per-
haps in all Southern States who never
have grown a stalk of tot n. let the farm-
ers realize and I uiTo upon merchants
and bankers the inipoi tam e ofpersuad.ng
them that an increased acreage in cotton
will he looked upon as an uiguiuctit in
favor of lower puces for the ii-muindcr
of the crop now being held although It is
by no means certain that a large acre-
age would yield a i.itgir crop than a
smaller and belter cultivated area.
THE LESS COTTON
THE BETTER PRICE.
"Let us suppose things turn out this
year as some optimists predict. Sup-
pose peace should be restored and there
springs up a greatly increased demand for
cotton. I'nder such conditions a large
crop would of course sell for a great deal
of money but with the expeueiice of lS'lu
and l'JU before us. is there any reason to
doubt that a moderate crop would sell for
still more'.'
"On the other hand suppose the war
continues; suppose unhappily this coun-
try should become involved aiat remem-
ber that in tunes of slress when it conies
to a choice between something to eat and
something to wear food must be pro-
vided at any cost while new clothes can
wait -then 1 ask. would we nut be far
better off with a moderate supply of cot
ton and an abundance of food supplies?
MUST DECIDE
QUESTION NOW.
"Why scatter high pi-iced fertilizer over
a large field when it would be more ef-
fective concentrated on a smaller .'
These matters must hi- determined
now. A month hence will be too late.
I.et the farmers the merchants and the
bankers of Ihe south take counsel to-
gether and let the newspapeis and those
published at the county seats particulai ly
advocate Jn every issue for the next six
weeks and with all their lore- and power
the drlrine of diversification and let
them point out tho dangers of the one
crop system.''

proval of Foreign Trade Provi-
sions of Cotton Futures. Bill.
(Associated Press Report.)
NEW OKLKANS March io Resolu-
tions protesting against enactment of

tion of the Partners' Educational and Co-
operative I'nion of America at a meeting
here today. Copies of the protest will l"

cotton exchanges and as now amended
bv the sulsommitteo It la proposed to lew
tie same toll on all transactions by foreign
