CASTING SHADOWS.

General Hogg's speech opening the
| campaign, delivered last Saturday ct Rusk, was
grand effort, and proves him an able man.

Texas needs safe, conservative mai
to administer her affairs for the next two years.
Such man is James W. Throckmorton. Il Nc
Kinney Examiner.
The fact that Throckmorton was once
ousted from the governors Office would re-
main, though he were elected a dozen times
more.-lCommeree Record.
Do you want the people to rule? Then
work for Jim Hogg's nomination and election.
But, II you want corporate power to rule, vote
against him.-lTeNas Mesquiter.
Attorney General Hogg s opening CAM
p2ign speech, at Rusk last Saturday, is mas
terpiece and well worthy OF perusal whether you
are a'Hogs man or mott Decatur News.
Attorney General Hogg is the true and
tried friend of the people, He is the only attor-
uey-generEl who has ever done anything worthy
OF mention toward compelling corporate power
to fear, recognize and respect the law.-IRoyse

With Attorney General Hogg to vital
i5e g. the constitution Of Texas Is not such a
dead, lifeless thing nor such n sad piece of
patchwork ter all, as those who have been de-
lnanding new one would make believe. (Bren-
ham Banner.
Ex-Governor Hubbard has announced
for congress from Kilgore's district, and Judge
Felix McCord recedes from his intention of run
ming. for the reason that he would have to hustle
too much with the doughty ex- governor in the
held.-lReyse City Alta.
We have received the printed address
Of Professor D. P. Hurley Of Springtown, Tex. 4,
who is candidate for the Office of state superin
tendent of public instruction. We are person
ally acquainted with Professor Hurley, and fully
confident that he is eminently qualified, and as
gentleman deserves the support Of our people.
-lArcher County Progress.
There is no doubt but that Hon. J. W.
Throckmorton will be Texas next governor. He
is more favorably spoken of than any one else in
the race. Besides, he is an old Texan. and
stood BY her people in days OF peril. Therefore,
we can'tsee how the people can afford to go
back on him. Let all say: " 'Rah for Throck-
mortonl"-l Western Argus.
The nomination of Hon. j. w. Throck-
morton for governor is almost a foregone con-
clusion. his strength around the other candi-
friends, but should not be, inasmuch as his
public life is part Of the common history of the
state itself, and he has always been true to the
land of his adoption Escurry County Citizen.
Senator McDonaid's speech at Bonham
has met with much favor throughout the state.
and the brilliant young statesman is rapidly
gaining strength. He is man who will do his
duty faithfully as he understands it, II he is
chosen for the high and honorable position to
convincing proof that his judgment is seldom at
fault Luling Signal.
Acknowledgement Hogg has opened the
ball for governor. His speech does not seem to
have taken well with some of our contempora-
ries, but the most they can say is sneer, and
they have reached the unanswerable in that.
We have been listening for real sensible OBJ
lection to Hogg fer governor, and at the pres
Material term for the faultto be found.--[Temple
Times.
without entering into any discussion of
the commission question, which. by the way
Mr.. Hogg presents in its Sunday nttire and best
appearance, it must be admitted is open to ar
gument as like all questions of public policy, it
has two sides, presenting marked differences,
and the appearance of them is varied according
to The lens through which they are viewed.
oughly and extensively discussed on the
stump and in the press and thus
almost every man who is inclined to do his
offered him, and should he fail to arrive at E
correct conclusion, he will have nobody to blame
but himself. The coming gubernatorial race
promises to be exceedingly interesting and
what il will bring forth no man can say. In the
main. the people Of Texas are eminently con-
SENTATIVE and the prooaellltiies are that, as
elected TO office and the state win continue to
grow and prosper.-LBockda Messenger.
The speech at Rusk with which Mr..
Hogg opened his canvass is magnificent. In
rhetoric, logic and the discovery of extensive
knowledge and comprehensive grasp of intel
lect 1t Is one of the greatest campaign speeches
ever delivered. he pleads his cause in power
full manner by the review of his record as pub
lie official and his challenge to anyone to dis
pute his statement OF facts. He shows con-
clusively that in amount and honesty of
labors for the benefit OF the state his
claims to popular preference are amongst
the first, If not the very first. SO manifest is
this that were it not for the conflicting views on
the question of the railroad commission, Mr..
Hogg would undoubtedly take the convention.
and the state by storm. This FIRST speech of his
has changed the views of some of his hearers as
to the business and necessity for g commission to
regulate freight and passenger rates on rail-
roads and otherwise guard the rights
and interests Of the people against any
encroachment upon them by railroad cor
porations. To us it has always seemed
that the creation of railroad commission was
not question of right or wrong, but simply OF
expediency, A commission could not be created
to do ANYTHING but what should be done in law
and equity. Il would be q mere fundamentally
for security Justice, as embodied in The consti-
tuition and the laws. The real, earnest discus
sion OF tins question has Just begun and the pub
lie will have an opportunity to get full informa-
ton about it SO as to gi4E enlightened inatruc-
tons to the delegates 20 the state nominating
convention. Gregg County ClaEion.
