TEXAS topics.
AS Reflected by the Newspapers Of
the State.

Dallas Times: The Waco Examiner
now contains about seven columns OF
Sam Jones and half-column OF Bar
tow. AS result, the RIOS boomlet Is
"swinking."
BRENNAN Banner: The Greenville
Herald intimates that Gen. Ross OF
Waco Is running for governor OH his
army record. The time has past when
mans army record will carry him
into office.
Houston Age: In choosing between
Sui Ross, VIM. j. Swain and Barr EFT
Gibbs for governor, the Democracy OF
Texas, next year, will be In no danger
of making mistake. Either of the
distinguished gentlemen named will
make good executive.
Houston Age: There are several
things that Congressman Reagan and
President Cleveland do not agree
upon. 1t is possible that they will not
agree In opinion as to who shall be
appointed United States marshal for
the Eastern district of Texas.
Paris Free Tongue: 1t Is said that
II Barnett Gibbs succeeds in making
himself governor, he will make Bill
Sterett his secretary of state. If this
becomes generally known, what effect
will 1t have upon Gibbs candidacy?
VIII it help or injure the talking
Gibbs?.
Houston Post Certain politicians
who are now figuring on the best plan
to get rid of Congressman Joe Savers
next year, can save themselves great
deal of trouble. Like all other ill-con.
ceived plans, it has too much weight
on the belly-band and will fall
through.
Texarkana States: There il one inn
portant feature in the prohibition prob.
lem, and that is the universal testi-
mony Of the decrease of crime, where
ii has been tried, and the consequent
reduction ia appropriations for crimi-
nal prosecutions. The argument is
forcible one.
Galveston News: Speaker Foster is
liable to find out when it is too late
that politician can not carry two
flags in Texas. A man who attempts
to carry Prohibition banner in one
hand and Democratic flag in the
other is is likely to find himself very
uncomfortably freighted.
Mexia Ledger: Col. Elliott of the
Dallas Herald is mentioned for the
Democratic nomination for governor.
II Judge Reagan doesn't enter The
race, Col. Elliott will likely make as
good time as any one mentioned so far.
He is very popular, and his qualifica-
tions for the office are first-clsss.
Franklin Herald: No matter what
may be said of Gibbs youthfulness
he is never afraid for the public to
know how ne stands on state matters.
His late interview by the Dallas
Herald was clear-spoken document,
and leaves the reader OF it in no doubt
as to how Gibbs stands on the peni-
Tertiary question.
Greenville Appeal: Rutaoaga Johr-
son is extremely anxious to pose as
the farmers candidate for governor
next year. This celebrated man has
won reputation for economy such as
no other living man has achieved. 1t
is said that he Is so saving that he
uses the water in which he washes his
feet to manure his garden with.
Houston Age: Judge Reagan is occa.
sionally spoken OF as candidate for
the Democratic nomination for gov
ernor. 1t is doubtful, though, if he
has any idea of allowing himself to be
placed In that position. He is not
foolish enough to give up the congress
sional bird in the hand for the guber.
material bird In the bush. At least
the Age thinks he is not.
Sherman Courier: Somebody has
proposed Hon. r.. Q. Mills as a candi.
date for United States senator, to be
chosen by the next legislature. We
have much worse material than Mills,
Ii a change Is made, but nobody COM
plains OF Maxey, and it will take q
strong man to beat him. Weof North
Texas are we'll satisfied with our pres
ent delegation in the senate.
Cleburne Chronicle: Cobb of Ala.
bama, in public speech once wner
a candidate for reelection to congress
said: ~ have consumed 80 much {
my time In replying to charges pre-
ferred against me that | have no tim,
to talk on national sffairs.n ayes

1.-THE reason you don't talk on ma
tional affairs is because you don
know anything about national af
fairs" There are plenty of "snoo2
ersh in Texas that know why Ross
does not talk on state affairs.
Paris Free Tongue: The Waco Elk.
