CASTING SHADOWS.

Hogg for governor, hominy for dinner,
and good old country swim in deep water
Tyler Courier.
It comes in the nature of prediction
that the race for governor is between Mcdonald
and Hogg.-l Fannin Favorite.
Governor Throckmorton is making a
still-hunt canvass for the gubernatorial nomlna'
ton, and seems to be gaining strength wherever
he goes Breckenridge Texan.
That great statesman and Texas veter-
an, james Throckmorton,' is the man to be
made governor. and the indications now are that
he viii be nominated by overwhelming ma
jorlty.-l Bonham News.
The people want faithful officer and
honest man for goveruor-one like Jim HOgg for
instance Terrell Tlmes-Star.
''Dick' Hall will never knifeHogg, but
he will meet him honorably on the field of battle
and mind you, in him Will Hogg find We'll
lmgton.-l Palestine Advocate.
After November Wheeler will go to
join those who are politically dead and forgot
ten. He is q good man but just a little too
precocious and previous. Little fellows should
be seen, not heard when big folks are around.
-lAlvarado Bulletin.
The Breckenridge Texan says Governor
Wheeler has been put down by az exchange as
favoring railroad commission. The Star is OF
the opinion that he is opposed to a commission,
and that is one of the main reasons it favors him
AS the experiment of q railroad COM
mission is bound to be tested. we had rather
the test was made under the conservative head
of one who has been often tried and never
failed. Such, for example, as "Old Throck,'
-lBelton Reporter.
Democrats and white Republicans are
organizing in Brazos county for the purpose of
defeating the colored element, which is controll
ing county affairs down there. The probabili-
ties are that the Eli manufacturing company
will go by the board.-LCameron Herald.
Attorney General Hogg has won
another victory for the people, but it may prove
another nail for his political coffin. He has
covered to the public domain several millions of
acres of land in Val Verde county against the
Galveston and Harrisburg railroad. Burnett
Bulletin.
Hogg's constituents are as strong
headed as he is. They seem to know nothing
but hog and him governor Ennis Local.
A strong headed, persistent man is what we
want for governor-one who will be governor
we find such man in the person Of Hogg.-
Mansfield Chronicle.
The impression is rdpidly gaining
ground that three-fouTths of the people of Texas
would like to see Governor Ross stand at the
helm Of state fo- another two years.-[Bellville
Standard.
False impression. Nine-tenths want to see
Hogg governor, and ell viii see Hogg governor.
Marshall Messenger,
There is not the slightest danger of
Throckmorton locking the convention with a
handful of votes. He locked one state conyen-
ton, threw away the combination and defeated
Hubbard, who lacked less than dozen yqtes of
receiving two-thirds majority for goYsf1S3s-
[Cleburne Chronicle.
Several candidates have annouESed for
state treasurer, but none can show up more
spotless record than D. J. Cater. As man,
and his promotion to the Office to which he
aspires would be no more than his merits de-
serve.-l Crockett Economist
AS TO faithful and conscientious per-
Torrance of public duties Lieutenant-Governor
Wheeler record viii not suffer in comparison
with the record of any candidate for governor
now or likely TO be before the people. While
less ostentatiOus than any of his competitors,
his duties have been as thoroughly and as eff
fciently discharged.-ICiscoR Roundup.
Throckmorton gets some heavy thrusts
from the press for having once locked conven-
tion, and Hogg is called non progressive because
he makes the railroads ''toe the chalk" Nc
Donald gets down the country for his anti-com-
mission procliyities, and Wheeler-welI we
don't hear great deal about Wheeler, pro or
CON Detroit New Era.
The only men before the people of
Texas to-day for governor with broad purposes
fecting the entire state, and with the courage to
enounce and the ability to defend tAem, are ].
S. HOgg and Senator Mcdonald. If Throck-
morton and Wheeler have any they should mako
haste to let the world know them Crockett
Courier.
The friends of Governor Throckmorton
who urge that the state of Texas loves him a
debt - do the gentleman unintentionsl in
Jury. The state of Texas doesn't owe Throck-
morton any more than il does Hogz or Nc
Donald. II Throekmorton is not the best man
running he ought not TO have the once. All
debts are barred by limit2tion.-IG ainssEille
Register.
Ex-Governor HUBBARD is squarely in
the field for congress against Kilgore and Judge
AcCord has Withdrawn from the race. The
great obieetor'' viii no doubt ''object'' 70
having as big man Hubbard pitts6 against
him. He had better come home and object,
under the Reed rules he can no longer raise an
objection in congress to any advantage Pitts
burg Gazette
Some papers allnde to our Wheeler as
the lightweight" candidate for governor 1t
must be remembered that the most remarkable
fighter OF modern times was sshght-weight-''
And so il VIII be in the coming fight for the Dem
ocratic nomination. However our Wheeler Is
not running on his avoirdupois as qualification
for governor, but upon his msritS-And merit
wins.-ICisco Roundup.
It is believed in some quarters that an
effort is being made TO bring ont candidate for
governor who has been closely identified with
the farming Interests OF the state and thereby
divide the vote 20 the advantage of some CT the
other candidates. II such scheme Is foot s
and II uNtSriSllZSS no one need be SURPRISED ~
