iered to their candidate, it is strange how
the papers are so easy to forget tried and

equal, If not superior, talent and COM

the superintendent of public instruction
she will likely do so in the person of
Prof. Smith Ragsdale, who Is largely and

one of her Oldest and best institutions,
Mckenzie college, Red River county.
Mr.. Ragsdale is a relative of the large
and influential family of that name in this
and adjoining counties and is identified
with the people OF the state. He has
served the public as an officer of the
State university, and was for some time
connected with the grand old college at
Thorp Springs. 1t was Smith Ragsdale
who uncovered the frauds and bold
schemes of the university management
at one time to plumber the public fund of
that institution, and grateful people
have not forgotten his services. 1t would
do the people of Texas good to see Mr..
Ragsdale ut the head of her educational
observation-disclosures, thoroughly cap
able and the right man in the right place.
