The emhrogllo over the prohibi tion election in Texas, which was carried from the polls to the State Legislature, called to discuss finan cial matters, is producing some of the greatest sensations in the his tory of tho State. Recently the pro hibitionist members of tho Legisla ture proposed a new constitution for tho State that would contain State wide prohibition. This was in the form of a resolution introduced in the Senate providing for the calling of a constitutional convention the first Monday In March, 1913. The wording of the resolution was that "tho delegates are to bo chosen by the voters of the State qualified to vote under tho existing laws for members of the Legislature." This would eliminate the negro vote. The resolution went to a committee; where it still is. This pieco of thunder was imme diately met hy the nntl-prohiblllon ist members, who Bp ran g the great est sensation ol* all, providing to di vide tho State of Texas into three great Commonwealths, allowing North Texas to bo divided into !wo States and South Texas composing Cue ?hird. in (his way, they said, North Texas, which ls "dry," could vote State-wide prohibition without opposition, while South Texas, which Is solidly "wet," would not he ha rassed hy politics of other sections.
