It is said that the sheriffs of the state
are almost unanimously opposed to Hogg for
governor, and will do all in their Iower to de-

This talk about the state owing the
governorship to Throckmorton is rather thin.
1t is true, he was once deposed from the gov
ernorship, but that debt is out of date-''barred

been given a pretty good share of public ofice,
and Texas don't owe him anything. We want
the best man for governor, and the Hon. James

aspiring TO the position are all good men and

Between the Dallas News railroads

against the railroad commission and is replete
with fine spun theories, plausible sophistry,

Governor Throckmorton, in answer to

explicitly and empaatica1ly that if he did not
have majority on first ballot in the convention
his name would be withdrawn. Attorney
