Lane announces candidacy for governor with pro prohibition plank
The Texas State Comptroller W P Lane declared his bid for governor in the Democratic primary, pledging four years as governor, support for eleemosynary and penal institutions, and adherence to initiative and recall. He backs constitutional or statutory prohibition and a three mile limit if needed, argues against repealing state insurance and stock laws, and criticizes the current debt. He opposes a central primary ban and emphasizes good roads, anti liquor funding reforms, and regulatory enforcement. The piece includes a humor anecdote about a proofreader and a geography note on the Cordilleras in Guatemala.
