The name Of Swain nowadays looms
up with unmistakable prominence 10 con.

next governor Of Texas Texarkana

Col. Swain has several times been sent
TO the legislature and several times to
the senate. His political career is known
throughout the state. lie Is now serving
as comptroller his second term, having
been elected by reclamation twice before
the Democratic nominating conventions,
and receiving, we believe, the largest ma
! iority Of all state candidates. His ability
as statesman, his sterling worth as a
man, his friendship and sympathy for the
laboring man, and his known fidelity and
love for the law as 1t is written, places
HIM warmly in the hearts of all true
Texans Austin News.
The Waco Examiner says Swain has not
sued any Of the tax collectors, and, for
that reason, the collectors are for that
gentleman for governor. The fact is,
Swain has made such close collections
that there Is nobody to sue. That is a
compliment to Mr.. Swain. We are not
advocating that gentleman, but his OPP
ponents will have to resort to some other
ground Of aTgument to defeat him than
the above.-[ Austin Record

Mr.. j. d. Mccall, chief clerk OF the
comptroller's office, is spoken of very
favorably for the Office of comptroller.
He has been in that department for If
teen years, and 1t is said that he will
make as good, if not better, comptroller
than any man in Texas. AS he comes
thus recommended, we are for him for
the office. Able and efficient men are the

The Terrell Times has a candidate for
