Texas Democrats split as Prohibition and anti Prohibition nominate rivals
In Texas Democratic primaries, anti prohibitionist O B Colquitt wins governor nomination by about 40000 votes while Prohibitionists carry statewide prohibition proposal. The party faces internal rifts over a constitutional amendment forcing a statewide prohibition vote, with Galveston convention Aug 10 to adopt the plank. If Colquitt balks at the measure, Prohibitionists may run an independent candidate, leaving the field crowded. Other candidates include William Poindexter Cone Johnson and R V Davidson, with the Prohibition faction said to hold a two thirds majority in the legislature aiding anti saloon legislation.
