Special to the Gazette.
DALLAS, TEX, June l3.-One of the
evidences of the fact that however
much the Cook and Hall campaign man
ayers may play 'possum, they are by no
means asleep, is to be found IN the effort
that is being quietly but industriously
put forth to create the impression that
Attorney General Hogg is losing ground,
and is by no means as popular as he was
some weeks ago, say before the winning
out of Judge Cook, and the establish
ment of the "Siamese Twins' political
headquarters in this city.
When asked what indications there
are of Hogg's decrease in popularity,
about all the answer you get is that $50
and-So told me that Hogg was losing
strength every day. You go to $50
and-So' and he refers you right back
to the man who sent you to him. In this
way they pass it around among them
selves, winking slyIy at each other as
! they do SO, knowing it IS a good card to
| play, especially when played upon
those who are shaky or undecided
and who do not like to be
caught backing losing man. One has,
| however, only to scan the dispatches in
the daily papers from day to day to see
that no such thing as a decrease in
Hogg's popularity exists. The effort to
''create'' the impression that he is los
ing ground is simply another specimen of
the ''fne work. of Warwick - and
his campaign managers. Realizing that
| 'something must be done'
to stem the increasing tide of
! Hogg's popularity they hit first
on
next Oh this other racket of impression
creating. The free pass racket has al
ready proven boomerang, and this i'm
! preston racket seems really afflicted with
| inanition. 1t is still case of 'tsome-
thing must be done, - and the indications
are that it will remain so until the meet
ing of the San Antonio convention, when
the futilitY of all that has been done win
be made apparent to both Cook and
Hall, and to the managers of the "Siam-
ese twins" headquarters in this city.
FRANKLIN COUNTY FOR HoGG.
Special to the Gazette.
MOUNT VERNON, TEX, June 10
Hon. J. W. Crawford of Sulphur Springs
will address the Democratic club at this
place tomorrow at 8 CLOCK p. m.
Politics are beginning 10 be discussed
| pretty freely here. This county is over
whelminglY in favor af Hon. J. S. Hogg
for governor, C. A. Culberson for attor-
ney-general and Col. W. A. Workman
far comptroller. Other candidates for
state offices are not being discussed at
| present. 1t is thought that if Hon. R.
NJ. Henderson of Dallas would be per-
| suaded to become candidate for comp
troller that he would get the entire sup
! port of this county.
ACTED AS A BOOMERANG.
Special to the Gazette.
WACO, TEX. June 13.-The political
enthusiasm of the opponents of Hogg
and the amendment seems to have cooled
down considerably in the last few
| days. Cone Johnson's speech no
doubt had something to do
with 1t, but the sudden turn in the dis
cussion of the railway pass question
seems to have sent a chilling sensation
through their ranks. The commission
men are jubilant and regard it as a
boomerang in the ranks OF the opposition.
