CASTING SHADoWS.

Paris News: The Dallas News declares
that the gubernatorial race is on. Such
is not the case up in these parts else you
would hear the name of Gen. S. 3
Maxey ringing out from every section.
WaXahachie Democrat: Throckmorton
and Hogg may tie the convention and
Hubbard come in as dark horse. Who
knows?
Denton Times: The next governor of
Texas bids fair to be North Texas man.
Dick Hubbard lives in East Texas, and
Dick is not an impossibility by any
means, but if he does not occupy the
gubernatorial char next year no other
East Texas man will The Mclean
jokers might stick pin here If they feel
so inclined
Gainesville Star: Did you not 1ear it go over
the wires along the Texas and Pacific railway
that Hon. 7. b, Wheeler should be our next
governor. Paste that in your hat Midland
Gazette.
We have not heard any such thing over
the wires. That has been nothing but
rumbling in the Gazette IS own Uranium
1t may get pasted in some other man IS
hat. If 1t does that Will be about all it
viii amount to. Attorney General Hogg
is the man that will get theresa say the
moves the world. Hogg for governor!
Let the echo ring from the gulf to the
plains?
Dallas Times Herald: Throckmorton and
Hogg may tie the convention and Hubbard come
in rs dark horse. Who knows?-[ Waxahachie
Democrat.
Hubbard has been greatly honored by
his people and his party, and there are
other men younger, ADLER and more
available just now-Henry Exall, for in
stance, the business men s choice and
the friend of the working masses as well.
EXaH is man who would not seek the
office, but he is one who would fill the
position with ability.
Sulphur Springs Enterprise The fight
now being made against Attorney Gen
eTal Hogg by the Dallas News viii add to
his popularity. The people admire the
attorney general for his open manly fight
against the encroachuents of corporate
wealth, and since his judgment is shown
to be sound and his abilities unquestioned
they are becoming more thoroughly salts
fed that he would be the right man in
the right place as governor of Texas.
New Birmingham Times: If Attorney
General Hogg ever entertained hope of
becoming governor of this great state, he
should now Danish it. He tackled the
wrong tom cat when he rubbed the
fur OF the sheriffs of Texas the wrong
way.
Houston age: Throckmorton will never again
be governor of Texas. When he and his handful
of friends knitted Hubbard just because he could
not get for himself the nomination for governor
they forever cooked the goose OF Throckmorton.
Il Bellville Standard.
It was certainly selfish and illiberal in
Throckmorton to remain in the field and
prevent the nomination of Hubbard when
it was shown by ballot after ballot that
Hubbard was the choice of the majority
of the delegates. But in its result the
state and the people had cause for con-
graduation. 1t led to the nomination
and election of the Old AIealde
Dodd City Spectators The Fort Worth GA
zETTE calls Capt T. J Brown Governor
yention. Perhaps it was sarcasm, as is GUS
tomary with the papers that fight the battle of
the railroads TO say that every prominent man
who proposes TO control corporations by law is a
candidate for governor, All the same, il is
significant fact that wherever you hear any
talk by the people about regulating railroads.
you hear Capt. Brown 5 name mentioned in the
same breath. The people have learned to know
him as one who believes in such regulation, and
who can give reason tor the faith that is in
him. On this issue he is stronger to-day with
the people of Texas than any other man.-[Sher-
man OOufiefs
If the editor of the Courier had been
present at the Dallas freight-rate con-
vention last Monday and heard the al
most unanimous cheer of delighted
admiration that greeted Capt
Brown IS appearance as a speaker,
as well as the ovation of
applause with which he was elected per-
manent chairman of the convention, he
would have had convincing proof of how
his neighbor and townsman stood in the
estimation of Texans and ''the people
who pay the freights - The prefix s'Gov-
ernor'' to Hon. t. j. Browns name
would not be out of place, by any means,
and our conferes who attempt to sheer AZ
such a contingency may reckon withe6t
their host. The Spectator dou t wish to
pose as a political prophet, but it YEN
lures the assertion that if North Texas
man is nominated next year it will eiE5ers4
be James w. Throckmorton of Collin az
Thomas J Brown of Grayson.
