Col. W. L. McGaughey lives in West
Texas, but during his entire three terms
of service in the legislature of this state
there was no stain of shrivelled localism
alleged against him to mar his fame.
| There was never q legislator whose con-
duct in respect to the needs of the differ
ent portions of the state is more to be
| commended than that of McGaughey's.
When East Texas got into trouble this
grand old man came straight to her res
cue. And when Southwest Texas needed
assistance this noble man and true pa
triot would espouse its cause with all the
strength and ability of his great nature.
The same thing can be said of every
other portion of the state. McGaughey

Railroad commission means lack of
backbone in our legislature. No COM
mission in East Texas. They want men
of capital TO invest in real estate, rail-
roads, mills AMI other investments that
will develop the country. The speech OF
Hon. H. d. Mcdonald has turned the
opinion of the majority of our people to
favor his candidacy. Hon. H. d. Nc
Donald IS views on the political questions
of the day are not those of q demagogue,
nor does he make war on either the rich
or the poor. His policy would induce
capital to flow into the state, and alto
gether he is the man East Texas needs at
the head of state affairs East Texas

1t still comes in the nature of fact
that the issue is commission or no COM
mission. And the prediction still holds
good that the race for governor is be-
tween Mcdonald and Hogg.- Fannin
County Favorite.
Hogg's first campaign shot was mas
terly effort, and barring his ideas on the
railroad commission, we think we never
read q more clear headed expression
from any candidate for office. Those who.
are supporting HIM for governor need
have no occasion to feel that they are not
supporting No. man. His record for
discharging public trusts Is as clear as
bell, and on many important questions
pertaining to the policy of the state he is
admire in man who has so faithfully
discharged his duties as q state officer,
and he will no doubt make q close can
vass. We don't like his railroad COM
mission hobby, because we believe that
too rigid action brought by the legisla-
ture through commission would drive
out these enterprises and materially re-
tard the development of this part of
Texas. We think Hogg is a good man
and is serving the people well in his pres
ent capacity. We want him to stay
tnere.-[ Coming West.
We have often stated our reason for
not supporting Attorney General Hogg,
and we will state them again. We believe
Mr.. HogS to b. an honest man who Is
too impetuous to CONTROL his will power,
and when once declared for a thing or
purpose he would never recall that dec
laration. 1t is his stubborn will, his i'm
petuosity, his quick action regardless of
consequences and time to consider. We
admire the man for what he has made
himself. But believing that under the
impulse of the moment that should he
form an idea, and that when that
idea was once formed he would execute
it, or try it awful hard, let it be to the
detriment or advancement of the state,
we must consider him a dangerous man
to place in the executive. 1t is not
through any personal dislike of Mr..
Hogg that we oppose him, although he
has not treated US fair in one instance,
but 1t we can overlook. And again we
say while we favor Mr.. Throckmorton
for the place, if Mr.. Hogg gets the nom
ination we shall be found supporting him
with all our power, be that little OF
great. Some say how can you support q
man you oppose2 We will answer that
by asking: How did the Democracy sup
port Horace Greeley? He was the choice
of the party - Palestine Advocate.
