Dallas, Texas, Joly 21.-A tidal wave of liquor prohibition is sweeping over Texas. One hundred and thirty eonnties have voted total prohibition and fifty-nine others have partial pro* hibition-that is, the country pre* oinots are prohibition, and in the larger towns only, like Dallas and Fort Worth, is the sale of liquor per mitted. This leaves only fifty-seven oonnties in whioh liquor is sold unre stricted by any sub-divisional lines. Most of these are the sparsely settled border and panhandle counties. Ful ly four-fifths of the population of the State is living under the jurisdiction of the kcal option law. Haifa dosen more large counties aro to hold elections within the next thirty days. It looks as if most of them will go for prohibition. The Prohibitionists ?ithin the Democratic party are organising a campaign to elect a Prohibition majority in tba Legislature to be chosen next year, in order that an absolute prohibition amendment to the State Constitution may be submitted to a vote of the people of the State in a special elec tion in 1905. Governor Lanham is a strong Pro hibitionist and is being looked to to help the movement along.-Chicago Record-Herald. - Postmaster C. J.
