County, Texas State District Judges.

Appellants.

Appeals from the United States District Court for the

Western District of Texas
——— ——— — — ————— — — — — — —— — tw — — — —

Before GEE, DAVIS and JONES, Circuit Judges.

BY DHE COUR TB

It is ORDERED that the motion of plaintiff-appellees and

Dallas-plaintiff-intervenor-appellees that this Court enjoin the

forthcoming judicial elections in Texas is DENIED as, among other

things, premature. As the district court wisely and correctly

noted, it is greatly preferable that the elected Texas

authorities put their own house in order, if that be needed, then

that this be attempted by unelected judges from the federal

government. With the Governors call of a Special Legislature

Session, that process has now commenced. As of today, the State

could have done no more than it has done, and it is now our part

to wait upon events: the appeal of the district court’s orders on

their merits and the action of the Texas Legislature.
