Gatesville Advance: Coryell couptc

against the two-thirds rule.
COrsicana Courier: DON'T fool around
the business end of the Martin boom
too recklessly. 1t was never known
to hang fire when the enemy showed
the whites of their eyes.
Austin Statesman: If man doesn't
want the governorship we are not in
favor of ravishing him with it, either.
we love Sui Ross, but not enough to
make him governor against his will.
Decatur Post: If a few more of the
Texas newspapers will join in giving
the Old Alcalde's tail about one more
twist, they will then hear something
"drap" in the neighborhood of Hous.
ton sometime this summer.
Austin Capital: The calls for county
conventionsareabout unanimous for the
selection of delegates to both the state
conventions, and the indications are
that equal unanimity will prevail in
instructions for Ireland.
Mckinney Black .Waxy: If Ire.
land is the man whom Wash Jones
wants to beat for governor, he had as
we'll get his coon story trimmed up
afresh, and pitch in, for the people are
powerful strong of the opinion that
Ireland is good for another term.
Dallas Times: Again the Old Alcalde
gets the mitten and Sui Ross is taken
TO the fiabby breast of the old siren
who inhabits the Island of Galveston.
Whenever she hugs one of them, TO
use n very coarse expression, she
breaks him all up"
Bellville Standards: Gen. Sui Ross
is most estimable gentleman, but he
is doomed to disappointment if he ex-
poets the office of governor to seek him
just ut this time. The position is
earnestly seeking gentleman some
times referred to as the sage of Sc
guin.".
Winsboro Sentinel The Galveston
News is wasting great deal of space
in its columns in trying to bring for
ward a formidable opponent against
Gov. Ireland. No use. "HOnest
John" will have another easy walk
over, the News to the contrary not
Installing.
Austin Capital: There are strong
indications that the Democracy of
Lampasas, and, indeed, of every Or
ganized county in Texas, will instruct
for Ireland and the majority rule.
This is what gals and frets the puny
schismatics, and causes the perturba-
tion of its temper.
Bolton Journal: Austin county held
the first Democratic convention and
elected delegates to the state conven-
tons at Fort Worth and Houston. The
delegates to the convention which
meets at Houston We're unanimously
instructed for Ireland. This is about
the way they will all do.
The Reporter heartily Endorses Gov.
Ireland. Personally he has not the
suavity that politicians generally pos
sess, and all the better for that, we
think. His plain blunt style well be-
comes Texas governor, and is in per-
feet harmony with the character OF
his constituents. There is no affeota-
ton about him-nothing deceitful-no
duplicity. His character is above re-
proach, and so is his administration.
Waxahachie Enterprise The stir
in political circles over Marion Mar
TINS announcement AS candidate for
governor, in opposition to Gov. Ire.
land, has about subsidized. A careful
survey of the field seems to indicate
that Martins chances against Ireland
are about equal to those of Sayers
against Roberts, four years ago.
Lieutenant governors should not an
tagonize the chief executive too soon.
If they are of better material than the
governor, the people are pretty sure to
find il out.
Tyler Courier: The Courier has OBJ
served for several months puny and
discreditable efforts made here and
there over the state by newspapers
and individuals to belittle Gov. Ire
land, and TO bring into discredt his
administration, as compared to the adj
ministRtion of some of his predeces-
sors on the Democratic side. Just
what advantage his opposers hope to
gain over him by such course is more
than we can tell with the lights they
furnish and which are now before the
public.
Waco Examiner: Gen. Ross is not
unmindful or unappreciative of the
kindness of his friends throughout the
state who desire to confer on him the
honored office of governor, and yet he
makes no concealment of the fact that
he Is not and does not propose to be q
candidate in any sense of the term, and
does not anticipate the presentation OF
MS name before the convention. We
make this statement for the inforima-
Ton OF the public, and in oder that
parties who may contemplate his can
aidacy may be fully informed rs to his
Bolton Reporter: That the people
heartily ind0rse the administration of
uoV. ireland is beyond the suspicion
OF doubt; and that they are anxious

equally true. Efforts have been made
