Yes, make them out with F'the more
that IL behind. None in this part of
the world believe that statehouse tale to
be anything but lie. We regard it as
slanderous lie. 1t only makes Hogg IS
friends stronger and more bitter towards
the other candidates.
1t will never hurt Hogg. Yes, if
Spence and company have anything
more from Wood county and the syndi-
Gates let them put up or shut up, for the
wheel is turning fast that must mash
their shameful efforts to powder.
OPPOSED TO THE COMMISSION.
Special to the Gazette.
WEATHERFORD, Ten, June %. 1.-THE
GAZETTE correspondent has just returned
from trip through the country over
portions of Parker, Wise. Jack, Young
and Palo Pinto counties, where he made
special inquiry as to the status of the po-
litical situation. State politics are as yet
not engrOssing any great interest, how
ever it was ascertalned that about four
fifths of the voters IN the section visited
are in favor of Hogg for governor,
though there seems to be a growing SEN
timent against the adoption of the COM
mission amendment.
Y
are charged from 81 to Sc per thousand
pounds for every thing they use which
is freighted from railroad station to
Jacksboro and Graham, freely express
themselves as opposing the commission
idea. Quite number expressed them
selves this way to the GAZETTE CORES
pendent. They all say they want to
have the question discussed and to hear
bot \, cd a hot aTnf 70.
be able to vote intellegenty on the great
question.
Local politics is also eliciting quite q
little interest, especially so in oksborO,
which is stronghold of what is known
as the Dark Lantern party, they are
holding several of the county offices.
The Democrats hope by a strong fight
and thorough organization this year to
elect all officers.
TIE GAZETTE correspondent has just
heard that there is move or an inten-
ton now in existence with both those IN
the Democratic party favOring Hogg and
a commission and those opposing both in
the more populous counties and cities at
the time of the convention 10 send up
two delegations, i'll the event either fac
ton fails to secure the instructions as
they desire. They will then send up a
delegation to suit their views, and the
claim is made that there will be old tried
and true Democrats in both the delega-
tons, and that in order to secure har-
mony divide in the delegations will be
made, or in other words a compromise
will be effected. In the event this is
done the effect or the result will be
closely watched by not only Democrats,
but by enemies of the party as well.

Correspondence of the Gazette.
FORNEY, TEX, June 2l.-State Sena-
tor Kimbrough spoke to the farmers of
the Buffalo neighborhood, six miles
north of here, last night, and organized
a large Hogg and commission club.
Cook and Hall have little folio wing in
this part of the county; it is certain to go
for Hogg and indorse the commission
amendment. Judge Robert West of
Dallas spoke at Forney last Saturday
night in opposition to Hogg and the COM
mission, and when ne closed the doors of
the Forney Hogg club were opened and
twenty or thirty new members were en-
rolled in less than that many minutes.
