Hogg. We believe that Hogg is as good Dem
ocrat as Throckmorton, but not near as clear
headed. He is young and capable of learning
| much before he takes rank with the sage OF
kannln.-l Palestine Advocate.
Ex-Governor Throckmorton was among
| the lumbermen at Houston this week, making
himself solid with this class of Texas citizens.

the governor looks more like lumberman than
most OF the representatives who were present.

What has Mr.. Hogg accomplished by
all his wildcat suits against railroads and
other corporations. Every suit so far has
flashed in the pan. SO to speak, yet some of his
supporters evidently regard him as the master
man of the age. He is certainly great in one
thing at least, and that is to get himself thor

Texas owes Hon. James W. Throck-
morton debt, and she win pay that debt in No

And by so doing will pay every citizen of the
state debt she owes to each of them; that is to
furnish them with governor whose patriotism,
ability and craftsmanship is not excelled by

AS county attorney, as mayor, as dis
trict judge, as lieutenant governor, as neigh
Dor, as friend, citizen and soldier, every duty
laid upon him has been faithfully discharged-a
record no man can gainsay. With this re cord
Lieutenant Governor T. Il. Wheeler goes be-
fore the people of Texas, asking for the d emo
cratic nomination for govern or. - Cts co Round

The drummers, railroads, insurance
companies and land spectators are all opposing
Hogg for governor. These are strong Influences,
and viii leave nothing undone to accomplish
their object and all are mad with the attorney
"a no fIo att "a nff he ia
dared to enforce laws against them which were
passed by the Legislature. But we believe Hogg
is stronger than all of them because he has been
conscientious and the people, as mass, love an
honest and fearless officer in the discharge of
duty Terrell Times Star.
The Endorsement of Professor D. P.
Hurley a candidate for state superintendent
OF public instruction, by the Parker county
teachers institute at its last meeting, affords US
qualification, while at the same time does not by
any means take US by surprises; knowing his
merits the members OF the institute could not
have taken different action. Indeed, his quail
fications every way eminently fit him for the Of
nee. True, there are no doubt others in the
state who are competent to discharge the du-
ties of that important office, yet we do not hest
tate to express the opinion, knowing him as we
do, that he combines ali the elements of fitness
for the position in a measure unsurpassed
by any other man in the commonwealth.
His collegiate education has ripened into
thorough, well-rounded scholarship by many
y
Far as scholarship is concerned he is fully quail
fed for the position. He is also ready and
aole writer, ny JOURNALISTIC WofK. he also pos
sesses good legal education and superinten-
dent. He has been, for quarter of century
close student of every branch OF professional
literature; has been editor OF public school
journal, and a diligent student OF the state
school as an American institution, and is well
informed as to the state systems, especially of
our own. In short, he possesses every element
of fitness for the position, and should the Demo-
crazy of the state elect him they will never have
cause to regret their choice Springtown News
dealer.
For genuine article of "cheek' the
letter of the secre tary of the State association of
sheriffs, appealing to the sherffs of the several
counties not to permit any Hogg delegates to
attend the, next state convention, should be
given the blue ribbon Crockett Courier.
1t IS worse. 1t is double-distilled ''gall."
That secretary did not have sense enough to
understand that sheriffs now in office who want
to be reelected will have their hands full in tax
ing care of themselves, without defaming the
attorney general. The mar no is candidate
time in abusing Attorney-General Hogg among
the farmers might as well pull out of the race
now Cleburne Chronicle.
The same over here in Kaufman county.
When the sheriffs try to beat Hogg they will
beat themselves, because the men who elect
sheriffs are for Hogg for governor, and the sher-
ifs who are mad at the Encouragement because
he would not allow them to bleed the state
on mileage and fees, should not let this one fact
slip the recesses of their memory. Hogg was
right and the people are for him, and all the
sheriffs in Texas can't ''arrest" his boom.
Terrell Times-Star.
The same is true of Wichita county. The
solid, substantial men are for Hogg. The only
opposition to him comes from landgrabbers and
railroad officials, not one out of dozen of
whom have been in the state long enough to
vote. The sheriffs up this way, past and pros
pective, are all l-headed fellows, and are
too broad between the eyes to be miSlead by any
such damphool idea as that suggested by the
aforesaid Observation-Disclosures County Demo-
Graf.
