suming in his manners, the humblsst
person in the land can approach him,
and is made to feel at home and com
Portable in, his presence. His name
has been continuously and favorsbly
mentioned for governor from sll sec
tons OF the State. II does not com o
nom North Texas alone, but from
everywhere - from every section.
North Texas should be, and is, Justly
proud OF him-he has honorea his
State. As a North Texas man, this
section should rise up az one man In
urge his nomination at our next State
convention. When interviewed upon
the subject, Swsin said he was not a
candidate tor goyeInor; that he
was content to serve the people
where he was; that he did not think
the otfice OF governor a position to be
sought or declined. Pursuing the
even tenor Of his way, these are the
CHARACTERISTICS of the man. Indeed we
do not know that he desires his name
used for the high position for which
We have named him. One thing we

ONLY BRACE OF ASPIRANTS.
The newspapers that are manifest.

call the guberuatorial turn in the next
deal, have about narrowed their con-
illusions to brace of aspirsnts-Ross
and Swain. Tho Houston Post stacks
its red checks on the latter, the Waco
Examiner it's ivory on Ross, whilst
numerous pikers bob up around the
play, with nothing to lose and no
courage to bank on the future. Swain
is posed as the North Texas candidate,

1t is said that the State politicians
are all against Comptroller Swain,
which fact is compliment to his hon.
