Prohibition Governor Nominee Ball Forgoes Change in Stock and Bond Law
Col Thos H Ball of Houston wins unanimous Prohibition Democratic State convention endorsement for Texas governor at First Baptist Church Fort Worth with a pledge to keep the stock and bond law. He backs a constitutional amendment on statewide prohibition and outlines farm, education, penal, and veterans care aims while praising Hogg and faulting critics. The event drew over four thousand delegates as Mayes Lane and Campbell vouch for Ball and a campaign committee is formed to raise funds.
