It is believed in some quarters that an

governor who has been closely identified with
the farming interests of the state and thereby
divide the vote to the advantage of some of the
other candidates II such scheme is on foot

The self-constituted Democratic party
of Texas (which means Judge Clark has made
the awful discovery that railroad commission
would be venomously undemocratic, and that
the proposed constitutional amendment remov-
ing an doubt as to the constitutionality of the
measure must not be adopted. But the rank and
file of the party may view the question from
different standpoint and this is one instance in
which the Judge is almost sure to fail. The de-
cree of the leading railroad attorney of the
state will hardly be accepted as final Itasca
Nail.
The most disgusting feature of the
candidacy of Attorney General Hogg for gov
ernor is the persistency with which some OF his
leading organs misrepresent Governor Throck-
morton and his supporters by endeavoring to
create the impression that all the pure patriots
the advocates of Fhrockmorton's nomination
are all very bad people. As q matter Of fact

The Tyler Courier supports Hogg for
