his school policy, and also to save us
from upstart candidates he should have
a third term There is no law against
third term and at the present time and
for five years to come, Governor Ross,
above all possible candidates, could and
would do more for Texas than any man
living The ills we are now enduring
are not many, but better endure them
than fly to those unseen-sure to be
propagated by fresh aspirants for office.

Hon. C. A. Culberson of Dallas is
spoken of for attorney general next year.
He is gifted young man and an eminent
jurist, but the chances are that If his
friends persist in running him they Will
slaughter him. Col. CulbersOn, his able
sire, is in congress and has been since
the days ''that were, - and that is what
makes us say what we do. The people
are not prone to honor two men from one
family with office. If cold Dave
would get off the track, Charley would
have a splendid chance for his white

If the farmers of Texas want an honest
candidate for governor on solid plat
form, let them take Lieutenant-GOvernor
Wheeler. The Day is not booming
him personally, but likes his platform
and suggests that if the farmers of Texas
will indoTse it they viii gain point
worth the overthrow of the jute trust
and a railroad commission ten times
over. observation-disclosures Wheeler IS
well known to the people and is highly
esteemed by them; he has made no bid
for their support by pandering to their
prejudices, but he has formulated plat
form that beats everybody else's and
will be the salvation of the state if car
ried out honestly and faithfully. This
platform is not formally promulgated,
but was simply outlined by the lieuten-
ant-governor in a recent brief interview,
in which he said: 1.-The policy that our
farmers have pursued-that of buying
Northern bacon and lard when they can
make just as good Themselves
wretched one and against their own in
terests. The amount of money paid for
these articles, if kept in Texas, would IN
a few years add greatly to the wealth OF
the state. / am glad to note that the
farmers in my section have at last begun
to realize these facts, and this year q
large number of them who have hereto
fore been buying all their salt meats and
lard will make their own bacon. There
is grain enough i'll Texas this year to fat
ten hogs for the entire state and plenty
to spare - This is a homely platform,
but it has got "meat' III it Waco

The Henderson Times suggests that

The newspapers of Texas have not yet
agreed as to who will be elected governor
next year, but part of the state ticket
VIII probably read about as follows, from
present indications; For lieutenant
governor f. p. Alexander; for attorney
general, Charles CulbersOn; for state

In view of the position Attorney Cen
eral Hogg took in reference to the bag
ging matter, it is not believed that the
farmers will be unusually frantic in their
| efforts to elect him governor of the state.

! Hogg would not consider his chances for

Uncle Frank Lubbock is worthy the
