Love Chastised by Texas State Senate Austin, Texas, Jan, 30 P—The state senate committee on privileges and elections yesterday refused to approve five election measures of- fered by State Senator Thomas B. Tove of Dallas, who bolted the democrats in the November general clection. Jt was voted by the com. mittee to report favorably a bill which would keep supporters of MHerbert Hoover from running for office in the next democratic pri- mary. Love’s freedom of conscience bill ‘was the first to incur the disapprov- | al of the committee. Short talks in support of it were made by Alvin Moody of Houston, president of the anti-Tammany democrats of Texas, and Mrs. Claude De Van Watts of Austin, president of the Women's Christian Temperance Union. The measure would have prevented the restrictions which & bill offered by Senator Martin of Hillsboro and voted out favorably would impose. The Martin proposal would re- quire an aspirant for a place on th> ballot as a candidate for a county, district or state office to make an affidavit that he had supported all the party nominees in the last gen- eral election, or that he had not voted. Under the terms of the bill, demo- erats who voted for Herbert Hoover | would not be permitted to run for office on the democratic ticket until 1932, ’ New Haven Man Takes Life by Hanging Self New Haven, Jan. 30 (—The body of Samuel Secol, 58, was found by his wife last night hanging from a deor in his bedroom.
