element, none more deserves to sit In the
middle Of the picture than Mr.. l.anham
OF the West. II was a very bad break fol
new congressman.
Arlington World: There is no more
promising young man in the Democratic
party than j. O. Terrell. lie has his fu.
ture In his own hands. II he handles his
own interests as he does those Of Democ-
racy, there is no forecasting the heights
to which he may fly.
Dallas Times; Marion Martin feels
the world has changed since he last heard
from it. Once a blast from his bugle was
worth the solid vote of Navarro. Lately
| he blew that same trumpet till he cracked
the concern and yet he could count the

/
| local option, high license or some othe
policy" Barney is sensible. When thu

who was born to set them right, and tn,
best plan is to wait for developments.
Dallas Times; Bryan f. Barry of Cor
sicana is favorably spoken as prope
man for lieutenant governor. We know
of no better man for the position, bu: h,

not count on a single vote after this mis-
take.
Gatesyillo Sun. Hon. W. j. Swan
seems to be gaining ground in the free
for-al race for governor. Besides thu

keeping clear of that maelstrom of pro
hibition, in whose vortex so many poll
ticians have floundered and gone down

Gently this gentleman visited san Antonio
ON business it was spread far and wild
that he had otherreasons for going besides
