Aug 26.—The state of Texas, at one time considered irrevocably dry. voted today on repeal of the eighteenth amendment and there seemed little doubt that it would be the twenty-third state to repudiate national prohibition. The election opened the final stage of the repeal drive. It was the first of fifteen elections to be held between now and Nov. 7. If all vote wet. thirty-seven states will have approved the twenty-first (repeal' amendment, one more than necessary to add it to the Constitution. There will be no wine for Thanksgiving, however. Ohio holds its repeal convention Dec. 4. Pennsylvania Dec. 5. and the North and South Carolina conventions are not until Dec. 6. Texans also voted on legalization of 3.2 beer. Political observers anticipated a heavy vote Wets and drys ended the campaign Friday night with a series of rallies, radio broadcasts, and street corner meetings. Senator Morris Sheppard, author of th° eighteenth amendment and dry leader, closed his 5.000-mile auto tour campaign in Dallas, speaking before an audience of upward of 3,500 persons. Sheppard had spoken forty-eight times in the last twenty-five days, often driving 300 miles between speaking engagements. He said Texas would be the first state to defeat repeal and that thirteen other states would vote against it. His predictions wpre not shared by many drys. who were reluctant to forecast today's vote. The drys have concentrated their campaign on local option elections.
