The Dallas Times-Herald says Col.
! Dick Wynue has been mentioned for
governor, but he s'must not listen to the
voice of the siren,'' because Hon.
Henry Exall is the man for the place, or
words to that effect. Col. Wy me is one
of the ablest men we have, and as
brilliant orator he hardly has peer in

voice of the slren' and enter the field he
| will make race that will surprise the

The people of Texas owe James W. Throck-
morton debt of nearly twenty-five years
standing-a debt that has remained outstanding
ever since he was removed from the governors
chair at the point of Federal bayOnets on the
ground that he was impeachment to recon-
struction.-lDodd City Spectator.
The people of Texas owe James W.
ThrockmOrton nothing on that account.
The debt is barred by the statute of
| limitation and has been repudiated in
Democratic convention. You had as
well say the state owes Ex-Governor
Roberts a recollection to the United
States senate. But there are reasons
far more potent that point approvingly
to ThrockmortOn, living, breathing and
vital issues of the day, and even above
and beyond these, we know we may
trust him fully, freely and without fear
Il Sherman Herald.
That the coming man for the Office of
governor of Texas is James S. HOgg ad-
mits no longer of a doubt The express
sion Of popular preference in his
favor is too universal, too sponta-
neous and evidently too heartfelt to
be mistaken. And it must not be
supposed that this preference prevails in
Eastern Texas and the larger cities par
ticularly. On the contrary, it is III all
the small towns and agricultural districts
that Mr.. Hogg seems to be the favorite
of the voting masses for the Office that
Governor Ross has so ably filed for the
past four years. The Democrat would
prefer to see Mr.. Hogg reelected to the
office he now so faithfully fills but he
declines to offer for reelection, besides
the popular drift has set in favor of him
for chief executive Bartlett Demo-
Graf.
What has Charlie Culberson done that
he should be elected Attorney eneral?-
MexIa Democrat.
He has made a man out of a little boy,
and in the making of this man every
one of the 401 pillars of our government
and so dexterOusly was it shaped and
trained that in point of towering intel
lect, mental force and moral courage ne
has no superior; hence we want Charlie
CulbersOn for Encouragement Morris
County News.
Governor Ross would not accent third
term, nor will he be asked by his friends
to set aside well established precedent
by expressing willingness TO accept it if
rendered = Itasca Mail.
Workman is young but we believe that
his business capacity will make him our
next treasurer, and Frank Lubbock never
will find a better successor - Scurry
County Citizen.
Throckmorton 8 boom already shows
strong symptoms of a collapse. Texas
has honored Throckmorton enough, and
when he volunteered to retire from poll
tics his friends should have left him alone.
Give him rest, he has done enough for
xas.-[ Cleburne Chronicle.
The Dallas News is always finding
Attorney General Hogg with ''his foot
into it. - Hogg never fails to put his
foot into it if the execution of law leads
him there. That's Hogg s way = Tyler
Democrat and Reporter.
Attorney General Hogg is a manly
man. He has the courage of his o6nvic-
tions. With him trust is trustsand he
will enforce the law against them without.
fear or favor, and without stoppfngsBo
ask what kind of trust it is and who
formed it. If he shines the eyes of kssS
own mule he says his mule must stay m,
its own lot and not Craze on forbiddea
ground. He may be a demagogue, but
surely no other demagogue ever acted as
he does Alvarado Bulletin.
If Hogg is a demagogue he is adopting
some of the queerest tacticts ever prac-
tised by one. He is enforcing the law as
he finds it no matter who the guilty par
ties are. 1t may beat him for governor
(but we doubt it) and if It does it will be
greater injury to the state OF Texas
