In the profundity Of its wisdom the
Houston Age arises to remark: cit is very
likely that neither Hogg, Wheeler or Throck-

The papers supporting Hogg for gov
ernor are conducting a clean canvass. The
Throckmorton organs are singing mud and
shouting ''demagogue' to all who don't think
as they do.-iCrockett Courier.
Attorney General Hogg is really the
strongest man before the people to-day. He
may not receive the nomination for governors
but it will take mighty strong combination 10
defeat him. Coleman Progress.
Hogg has sent out appointments over
the state for speaking, or rather for the purpose
of giving the people a chance to know what he
is. We know enough about him already to give
our support to Throckmortop.-LEn Ennis Local.
The two prominent candidates for gov

The Mirrors argument against
Workman for state treasurer is knocked skyhigh
by Uncle Frank Lubbocks letter in the same

and Workman is the embodiment of both.
Workman for treasurer = Ennis Local.
Attorney General Hogg is making an
active canvass for governor. If it proves as
successful as his vindictive antsgonism to Com
missioner Hall did he will be retired this fall be-
fore a convention that viii demand representa-
tive men, tried and true.-iRound Rock News.
Governor Throckmorton has unhesitat-
ingly and manfully answered all questions
asked him in regard to his views on questions of
public policy. What has Hogg done on this
line? Nothing; he is waiting, il would seem, to
see which way the tide was turning. Rockwell
Success.
Throckmorton Hogg and Wheeler are
squarely in the race for governor. with the
chances decidedly in favor of Hogg. L.euten-
ant Governor Wheeler is the lightweight can

Hogg and Throckmorton, either OF whom would

Hogg announces his dates for conYinc-
ing the people OF his pre-eminent fitness for
governor Of Texas. He has one evening devoted
to San Antonio. A pure waste of breath far
as this city IS concerned. If San Antonio Dem

principle that governs the small boy in taking

The warm support that Governor
ThrockmortOn is receiving from East Texas may
be surprising to his opponents, but not to his
