MORE OF COOKS RECORD .

of Texas, said to-day that some years
ago Judge Cook made speech at San
Marcos in which he denounced the free
school system of Texas as un-Demo-
cratic and expressed himself as strongly
opposed to it. The same gentleman also
said that In and around Austin Judge
Cook was regarded as an enemy of the
state university. A correspondent OF
the Texas Farmer makes a similar
charge. as witness the following, under
an Austin date:
I see Warwick Clark has brought ont Gustave
Cook a candidate for governor. The man who
wanted to the gstling gun on the railroad
strikers at Fort Worth, and now expects their
bosses to make them vote for him; man who is
constitutonally opposed to the public free
schools and the great Texas university would
make fine governor indeed.-[G. s. Hehy-
bower.
1t will thus be seen that evidence is
accommodating daily to show that, al
though Judge Cook is ct present posing
before the people of Texas as an apostle
of moderation, he was in the years when
moderation was really needed tho con-
slant uttereF of bitter and immoderate
words. His record, rising out of the
mists OF the receding past, is proving
very confusing to himself and to those
who pulled him forth from the retire.
ment of private life into the heat and
turmoil of a campaign, destined to be
not only an event, but to mark the be-
ginning of new era in the political his
tory of Texas.
