Jim Hogg will go through like deer

Texas can t afford to turn back in her
march of progress, therefore Texas can't afford
to elect Hogg her governor.-[L uling Signal.
Charlie Culberson is making q splendid
race for the attorney-general' Office, and will
prove a worthy successor to the present incum-

The people of Texas are now saying to
Hogg: ''Weu done, thou good and faithful SER

Democratic state convention will say, come

OF course, Hogg will carry this county.
He will, in fact, sweep it. His few opponents
here give up the ghost and openly admit that the
county will go for him. His friends claim every
precinct by overwhelming majorities. -LChero-
kee Herald.
The Eagle Lake Canoe talks positively
about it: ''Hogg for governor and Lane for
acknowledgements will be the ticket put before
the convention. A smooth 200. 600 Democratic
majority will be given them. ''-LTyler Demo-
crat and Reporter.
Wonder if Throckmorton, Wheeler or
McDonald-any of them-will meet Jim Hogg
on the stump in his rounds of the state? If so,
the fur viii fly, and feathers and hair be
picked up by the sackful. And they will not be
pulled from Hogg's hide, either.-[Texas Mes

Hunt county should have man on the
state ticket this year and his name is Professor
j. NJ. Mcleod. He is in every way. well quail
fed for the position OF state superintendent of
education and would bring merit and ability to
bear in the discharge OF the duties OF that high
and honorable office. Commerce Record.
An Texas seems to be on a boom, in
spite of Hogg, as his enemies keep asserting
that he is driving capital from the state. If
capital and pro erty pours in on us at such
rate and Hogs, here what on earth would be

To show that Hogg is by far the peo-
ples candidate; that he is favored by all classes
and professions, we took occasion to seek the
opinion of some of orr attorneys, and we found
two against Hogg, two doubtful and seven Hogg
men, and only two more attorneys to hear from.
We are proud to record the fact. To all we say

The Hlllsboro Reflector says f'tbe
Hogg organs dare not attack ThTockmorton's
record.'' This is the first intimation the Mes
gutter has ever had that Throckmorton had
any record. Perhaps the Reflector could tell Us
of something great that Throckmorton did dur
ing the long time he was in congress. If so, out
with it. Give facts and dates, and quit slobber-

1t is clearly evident that as matters
now stand the race for the gubernatorial nomi-
nation is between Hogg andT hrockmorton, with
the chances rather in favor of Hogg. McDon-
AIDS forces are ''getting together and will
probably make furious onslaught at an early
day. Some able organizers will be found sup

Our esteemed neighbor, the Day, says:
prominent gentlemen at Tyler, who are under

his gubernatorial canvass, are also understood
to be rather lukewsrm in their faith about the

also to be somewhat of a commission man.
Let's see. The anti-commission men want the

rarest of gems.-lWaco News.
Gen. Henry E. McCullooh is out in
circular announcing his candidacy for the Office
of state treasurer, and copy of his address has
reached u.s. If the people of Texas desire to
honor man who is capable, and who by long
years of faithful public service both in civil and
military affairs of the country, one more
worthy and deserving than Henry E. McCulloch
cannot be found AS did his distinguished and
lamented brother, Gen. Ben MoCulloch, he
served Texas in her early struggles and in her
war with Mexico. He followed the fortunes of
his adopted state while she was member of the
Confederacy, and in the field rose from the rank
of colonel to brigadier-general. We under
