TEXAS CkULDRON.

Lewisville Headlight: Cook county has
only four aspirants for Hon. Silas H,re's
seat in Congress; their names are J. W.
Bailey, c. C. Potter, R V Bell and W
0. Davis. Should 1t be necessary to
choose from these four, our preference Is
for Davis, because he has q splendid rep
utation as kicker and II we don't need
some kicking done in Congress We have
misread the signs and temper Of the
people.
Tarrant County Messenger: r. @.
Mills is the greatest man Texas has in
public life. His bold stand upon every
question has not only gained him the ad-
miration of his own state, but Of the en-
tire nation.
Mckinney Mercury: Mr.. McCu!loch's
candidacy for the State Tfeasurership
will probably constitute the only contest
for any state office in Texas this year,
unless some Of the many gentlemen be-
ing mentioned for Lieutenant Governor
| should decide to encounter Governor
Wheeler, which does not now seem prob
, able.
Sweetwater Record: The Dallas News
| is irving very hard to disrupt the Demo-
cratic party of Texas by driving out Of
| the party all who voted for Prohibition.
The News stands toward the Democratic
party In the same light that the Waco
Advance does toward the Prohibition
party. They are both craIks and are do
ing the parties they claim to belong to
great injury by their actions.
Texarkana Times: The Fort Worth
| GAzKTTR emphatically denies that Sena-
tor Coke WAS at Dial IS during the sitting
Of the state Democratic executive COM
mittee. TIE GAZETTE doesn't seen to
understand how the Esprit of old John
Brown goes marching along" Coke
may not have been there in the fssh,
| but.
Orange Tribune: We ssy Hon. Charles
Stewart for representative to Congress
and Hon. Richard Coke for the Senate,
and we dare anybody to show better
pair to draw to.
| Dallas Times: George Clark denies that
he wrote to Washington counseling oppo.
sition to the Mills bill. The denial WAS
not necessary to men who are able to do
Clark Justice. While the measure Is not
satisfactory to him, as 1t is not to the
| Times Herald and the great body OF
Democrats. like them he recognizes that
| it is the best that can be done. This is q
step in the right directior, and 1t should
pass. 1t was reported that he hsd written
to Washington advising congressman to
go slow on the measure.
Austin Statesman: Mr.. W. B. Workman
is receiving the most hsttering mention
for the State Treasuryship. Should Gov.
erpor Lubbock decline to stand for re
election, MIR. Wortham, VINO for the past
several years has 80 faithfully and Ell
GENTLY filled the position Of chief clerk
would command strong support botf
from the press and from the people OF the
state. He is a gentlemen Of sterling in.
tegrity and, if called to the head Of thu
State Treasury, would discharge its i'm
portant duties with ability and Hdelity.
San Antonio Express: People inter
ested in spiritual matters should not fai
to visit the state convention at Dallas
Political spooks manufactured last Angus
will multitudiously revisit the pail
glimpses Of the moon.
Borhsm News: We do not think Gov
ernor Ross will have any opposition in
side his own psrtv. Nor do we thinl
Comptroller Mccall will have any oppo.
nent. The Attorney General may NEE
with opposition. Land Commissions
Hall will hardly have an opponent. Gen
eral MoC ulloch is already In the felt
against Governor Lubbock for Treas.
urer; Lubbock having mad thu
ONCE for twelve years will be the creates
difficulty in his way Of reelection. AT
torney-General Hsgg's tax circular wi

expect pretty strong opposition. Lsnt
Commissioner Hall may have made SOM
enemies among the land sharks and grab
bers, but the great masses Of the peopl
who have watched his course are bound
to admit that he is the best L,ni Commil
sioner that Texas has hsd for twent,
years. He has guarded well the interes
. Of the state, and has honestly and faith
fully discharged the duties of his office
and we can see no reason why he shoul'
] not and will not be reelected.
