\ Paris News: The Waco Examiner, in a
long editorial, throws out sops to the
friends of Gen. MaXcy and TO the friends
Of GOV. Ireland. Its effort is to concen-
trate all the votes on Gen. Ross. This
cannot be done. North Texas furnishes

berson, the brilliant son OF "Old bave,'
Is looming up consplcuously for attorney
general.
Cleburne Chronicle; Some of the
papers In Texas continue TO insist that
Texas must have business man for

sentcd the higher will Swain stock In the

correspondingly lower.

Reagan, and others of the old Democratic
Warehouses;, for governor, Rutabaga
johnson Is sitting on his Collin county
farm fence with his hands to his ears
waiting to catch the first sound of a call
Tor him, but he will never hear It,.
Galveston News There is good deal
oil talk In the state press about business
man for governor. Although no names
are mentioned 1t may strike great many
that the requirements easily fit John
Peter Smith of Fort Worth.
Laredo Times; 1t is thought in some
influential quarters that an.extra session
of the Legislature will be convened in
January, the unsatisfactory condition of

Collnsville Tines The gubernatorial
race, as now indicated, is between Ross
and Swain OF the two, we much prefer
the latter Ross may be u good soldier,
an honest man, and an uncompromising
| Democrat, but has never displayed any
great craftsmanship that should cntitle
him for the high Office of governor. His
trying TO read out OF the Democratic party
those WAC differed from him on the local
option question, proves him TO be
narrow-mlnded, and unfit for such big
office. Swain is also opposed to prohibi-
tloni but is man of broad and liberal
Ideas and splendid business qualities. OF
the two give us Swain.
