Texas Voters Favor Men Over Prohibition in Primary Result
The Texas primary results show voters favored individual candidates over the prohibition issue, with many counties supporting Ferguson and submission while others backed Morris and submission. In the U S Senate race antis outpolled pros, and outcomes across chief justice and railroad posts reflected personality and record more than single issues. A runoff between Colquitt and Culberson looms, with expectations of low turnout and possible Culberson advantage among pro voters.
