! 1t is intimated that Ex-Governor John
Ireland will be offered as a candidate for

adherence to law and a rigid enforce

The best card Hogg has yet turned up

on the subject, and now they know, of
course they will vote as they pay freight.

If there ever had been any doubt about
| Col. Hogg being elected the next COVER
nor Texas, that doubt has been removed

dictate papers. The people know by the
bowls of these hit dogs, that Hogg Is get
ting in his work, and the people are pat
ting him on the back Il Austin Globe.
| We have carefully read the speeches of
| Mcdonald, Hogg and Throckmorton, and
out of tine three, Hogg's is the most
manly, most courageous and most con-
vinciug of them ALL He has no use for
a "fence, - lie strictly only on the peo-

of truth straight from the shoulder
! [Crockett Economist.
Houston, the great railroad center Z,
gave Gen. Hogg grand reception, and
| treated him politely with the enthusiasm
| left out. He had the support of the
Harris county delegation for attorney
| general, but he won't get it solid for
| governor unless there is a mighty turn
| ing of tables before the convention
meets Nacogdoches star-News.
That idea of a special train to carry the
delegates from the old Seventh judicial
district to the state convention is good
one, and ought by all means to be
carried out. 1t would make Jim Hogg
| feel good to see all the delegates from
his old district roll into San Antonio in
one great throng, with bands of music :,
| floating banners, etc. Let's do it. We
think it would be grand affair. Let US
hear from all over the district on this
suggestion Il Mineola Monitor.
| The attorney general has been run
ming, or trying to run, the whole ma
chinery of the state ever since his cleo
ton. "I am the state" is his motto. -

Mr.. Hogg has been acting conscien-
tiously in the interests of the people who
elected him attorney general. but his
anxiety for railroad commission will
lose him the position to which he now
| aspires. : Orange Tribune.
Some of Hogg's enthusiastic friends
claim that he will get large vote from
| Western Texas in the convention. A
dime to ginger cake that not single
county In Western or Northwestern
Texas instruct for Hogg Il Baird Star.
Hogg is an able man. He is making q
vigorous campaign, and will have a con-
siderable following in the convention,
but we can endorse our contemporary g
assertion that it will not be from the
! West. = Ballinger Banner.
Possibly our friends can beat US guess
| ing as to who the West Texas Democracy
will instruct their delegates to vote for in
the convention. But when law abiding
| citizens go against Hogg, who has done
more than any other man to enforce the
| law, and having thus thoroughly tested
| the law as 1t is ought to know wherein it
should be ammended, such action would
| be no reflection on Mr.. Hogg, but it
would be scathing criticism on the in
| telligcnce and patriotism of the people,
that we dom believe they will bring up
| on themselves Santa Anna News.
The fact that Gen. Hogg is just now
the particular individual at whom all the
| poisoned arrows of the hummer element
are pointed is pretty good evidence that
he is the best man for governor. The
friends of Throckmorton cannot tell
where he stands in the matter of a rail-
road commission. One side claims that
he is for it, and the other that he is
against it. We respectfully suggest to
the boys that they find out which side of
the fence the man is on before they
shout so Justify for old "Throck. -
[WichIts County Democrat
Hogg's speech at Rusk is full of his
official acts, and contains facts and
figures pertaining to the condition of
Texas. 1t is the best public document
that we have seen on the true condition
of the railroads and their workings in
the state, and why we should have q
railroad commission to adjust matters
upon more equitable terms between the
railroads and the state. His candidacy
opened upon a favorable outlook and it
will continue until his nomination at San
Antonio Il Fairfield Recorder.
Mr.. Hogg's training all his life has
been as prosecutor, from which he has
naturally developed into one-idsaed
statesman-that idea being to convict
something or some one Of a wrong and
infiict a punishment. Mr.. Throokmor-
ton g training in his profession has been
of a general character, having never
been a specialist. He is therefore fifty
qualified to look at question with a
mind unwarped by years Of one-sided
training. Which one of these men would
make Texas the better governor is q
question easily answered. Rockwell
Success.
Gen. Hogg's speech at Rusk, opening
the campaign for governor, is one of
which his supporters may well feel proud.
