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

Texas needs q safe, conservative NAH

Such man is j mes w. Throckmorton. i Nc

The fact that ThrockmoTton was once
ousted from the governors Office would re-

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

Attorney General Hogg's opening cam
paign speech, at Rusk last Saturday, is a mas
terpieoe and well worthy of perusal whether you
are Hogg man or not Decatur News.
Attorney General Hogg is the true and
tried friend of the people, He is the only aUtor-
ney-general who has ever done anything worthy
OF mention toward compelling corporate power
to fear, recognize and respect the law Royse

With Attorney General Hogg to vital
lie it, the constitution of Texas is not such a
dead, lifeless thing nor such sad piece of
patchwork after ali, as those who have been de-
manding new onewould make believe.-l Bren-
ham Banner.
Ex-Governor Hubbard has announced
for congress from Kilgore's district and Judge
Felix MeCord recedes from his intention of rum
ming, for the reason that he would have to hustle
too much with the doughty ex- governor in the
held.-lRoyse City Alta.
We have received the printed address
OF Professor D. p. Hurley of Springtown, Tex,
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
a gentleman deserves the support of our people.

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't see how the people can afford TO go
back on him. Let all say: "'Rah for Throck-
morton!'-[ Western Argus. :,
The nomination of Hon. J w. Throck-
moEton for governor is almost foregone con-
clusion. his strength around the other candi-
dates homes is a surprise to his warmest
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.-[ Scurry County Citizen.
Senator Mcdonald s speech at Bouham
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, if he is
which he aspires, and his past able services
convincing proof that his Judgment is seldom at
tau!t.-LL ulIng signal.
Attorney General 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 a sneer, and
they have reached the unanswerable in that.
We have been listening for real sensible OBJ
ent rate it will take some time into the gubvr-
material term for the fault to be found.-TTemple
Times.
without entering into any discussion of
the commission question, which. by the way
Mr.. Hogg presents in its Sunday attire and best
appearance it must be admitted is open to ar.
gument, 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.
During the canvass the matter will be thor
oughly and extensively discussed on the
almost every man who is inclined to do his
thinking will have ample opportunity
offered him, and should he fail to arrive at
correct conclusion, he will have nobody to blame
but himself. The coming gubernatorial race
promises to be exceedingly interesting and
what it will bring forth no man can say. In the
main, the people of Texas are eminently con-
sentative and the probabilities are that, as
elected to Office and the state will continue to
grow and prosper.-[Rockdale 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
ever delivered. He pleads his cause in q 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 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 commission to
regulate freight and passenger rates on rail-
roads and otherwise guard the rights
and interests of the people against any
encroachmenI upon them by railroad cor.
porations. To us it has always seemed
that the creation of a railroad commission was
not question of right wrong, but simply of
expedfency. A commission could not be created
to do anything but what should be done in law
and equity. It would be mere instrumentality
for security Justice, as embodied in the consti-
tuition and the laws. The real, earnest discus
sion of this question has just begun and the pub
lie will have an opportunity to get full informa-
tion about it, so as to give enlightened instruc-
tons to the delegates to the state nominating
conventional regg County Clarion.
