The state campaign which has been waged with bitterness that naa seemed to increase dally for the paat .three months will close tomorrow and , on Saturday the voters will decide whether or not an amendment providing for state wide prohibition shall be addled to the constitution of Texas. j Report from all directions Indicate that this is by far the most bitter por ' lltlcal struggle which ever has occurred ' In the Lone Star state.

Wealth,, from the panhandle to the gulf, and from El Paso to the forests of east Texas. . v It seerna impossible to forecast the result of the special election with any degree of certainty. From the head quarters of both the prohibitionists and th anti-prohibltlonlsts are emanating .reports indicating that both aides view the otttlook with equal confidence. t Some onlookers see In the results of the last Democratic primary an Indi cation of -the vote in the coming elec tion. To the majority, however, the re sults of the recent primary only 'serve ' Uo -make the present, situation the more -puzzling. In the primary an overwhelm ing vote for Railroad Commissioner Os car B. Colquitt, the anti-prohlbltlonlst candidate for governor, waa polled, but at the- same time a great demand for (the submission of the prohibiten quea , tion waa voted. In Democratic Texas, .nomination la a Democratic primary la - (equivalent to election, and although Mr. v Colquitt waa assured of the post of gov ernor, he was obliged by the votes of the, people to submit to a vote on the question of prohibition, . Throughout the campaign both aides shave maintained headquarters in a f number of the leading, cities of the state. . From these headquarters tons of .literature have been mailed and hun dreds of speakers have been aent forth i to stump the country from- end to end. Governor Colquitt himself has led the force of antl speakers. On the prohlbl- tion side former Governor Campbell Jhaa been, one of the most active work- , 'era The newspapers, the churches, the . T. Iff. C, A. and numerous other organi sations have lined up on one side or the other In me campaign and many Instances' are cited where even families 'are split "over the Issues; ' i The only feature of the struggle which stands ort with unmistakable .clearness la the fact that the public generally la desirous that the saloon .'question be definitely settled once for 'all. for It has long been a bugbear In Texas polities. But whether they want ito vote out the saloon at the same time fie a question that can be answered only Jby a count of the votes day after to Imorrow. ., j MOSIER WORKS FOR COLUMBIA LANDING Vetetans Rally Again on Blood-Stained: Sward Has Visions of Lower Freights If Water Competition Can Be Secured at Wharf.

The blood stained . award of Bull Run la again peopled with those who with bitter hatred and feverish anxiety awaited the break of dawn 60 years ago today to commence the flrat' battle of the rebel lion. But instead of mingled curses and prayers; instead of the . nervous tread of sentries; the fevered restless ness of foreboding, the .rival camps of the blue, and gray house men bowed with years, whoso only thought is that of peace and brotherhood; and whose time is spent In greeting brother sol diers, recalling incidents of days gone by and preparing for the rigors of the crowning day of the Manassas National Jubilee to .be . held tomorrow on the semi-centennial anniversary of the bloody battle of Bull Run. Elaborate preparations have been made for this unique gathering.

With the single exception of Gettys burg there Is probably no Civil War an niversary so momentous; for the flrat battle of Bull Run, according to gen erals who fought In It, not only Initiated the country into war, but lta effects, mistakes and lessons were felt clear through to Appomattox. , About 11,000 men were engaged on each side. The official reports give the Union casualties ai If officers and 462 men killed, 64 offloera and 47 men wounded, and 1176 men captured. The Confederate loases are unknown, as there were no records kept. Of the 18,009 men engaged scarcely a handful remain today to take part In the celebration. Time haa wiped out whole companies and mustered regi ments now present but a few surviv ors. It Is not probable therefore, that this history of the United States will ever again chronicle auch a meeting be tween the Blue and the Gray as that which will take place tomorrow, and for this reason every effort has been made to make it one to be remembered by posterity. Hen Prominent la Bally. Among those prominent In the pro motion of this unique rally are: Gen eral John E. Gllman, commander in chief of the Grand Army of the Repub lic: General George W.
