CASTING SHADOWS.

j. w. Throckmorton will make Texas
the best governor it has had since Richard Coke.
Let Texans rally to him.-lPalestine Advocate.
"Hogg for governor" seems TO be the
popular expression among the newspaper fra
ternity of the state. Correct.-[Garland News.
j. s. Hogg has made Texas one of the
best attorney-generals the state has ever had,
and he ought TO remain in that Office ales-
tine Advocate.
The monopoly don't want to see Jas.
Hogg governor of Texas, that's sure. They are
afraid he will not allow them as many little lib
critics as they now enjoy. Moscow Pinery.
Our exchanges are all about to admit
that Hogg will be governor of Texas soon. They
are bound to admit it by and by and the sooner
they get through the performance the better.
-LFloresville Citizen.
We want man In fill the governors
chair of Texas who will not create discord and
confusion within her borders. Hon. J. w.
Throckmorton is the man who can fill that ach-
ing void Henrietta Chieftain.
Jim Hogg is going to be governor regard
less of the untenable thrusts made at him by the
satellites of monopoly If the anti Hogg howl
ers want a campaign free from mud, why in the
damnltion don't they set the example?-L Mexla
Democrat.
The Canton Telephone is whooping
for Hogg for governor. The Hogg papers have
commenced the race too early. They liable
to get out of wind Just as Hon. J. w. Throck-
morton gets In good running trim. He will
warm the grease in Mr.. Hogg in July and Au-
gust Corsicana Observer.
1t seems some of the wicked have been
insinuating that the gubernatorial race as made
up between Hogg and ThrockmortOn was an
anti-railroad and railroad fight, whereupon Mr..
Throckmorton writes letter TO friend that he
will favor railroad commission, provided HI
rights of the roads to far compensation are pro-
tected. What is fair compensationP Suppose
the peoples representatives should think one
thing and Mr.. Throekmorton another.-l Paris
News.
Hogg's opponents are trying to break
his strength and lessen his influence by raising
the crv that he is too rabid and would injure the
state by a high handed administration of affairs.
The truth of the whole matter is, that Hogg is
strong with the people because of the enemies he
has made by bold and manly administration of
the attorney-general Office, and if elected he
will be dangerous only to the enemies of the peo-
pie and those who would use the laws to their
own ACKNOWLEDGEMENT and the oppression o. the
Teople. He is to-daNthe strongest man before
the masses, and his nomination seems now
foregone conclusion.- AlvaradO Bulletin.
Elk Lieutenant Governor Wheeler's
candidacy for governor changes the fight to
three cornered one, and hostilities may be ex-
pected to open up in earnest now pretty soon.
Either of the three avowed candidates would
make q good governor, and there will be no ne
Cessity for trotting out dark horse; besides,
the dark horse programme is wrong, anyhow.
The man who goes before the people on his past
record, explains his position on those matters of
state politics with which he viii have to DEAL If
elected, is more to be desired than he who is
thrust forward at the eleventh hour. To the
victor who fights in open battle give the spoils
say We Gatesville Post.
Lieutenant Governor Wheeler has at
last squarely announced for governor. He is in
the race as representative of the vast interests
of West Texas and of that great and growing
portion of our state. However, there is senti-
ment abroad in the state that North Texas is
entitled t. the governor this time. She has a
preponderance of population. she pays the
largest amount proportic nateIy of the taxes.
and at this time presents the best candidate for
the position that incorruptible old man, j. W.
equal showing with the balance of the state in
the distribution of offices, and now she dem ands
it of right Waxahachie Democrat.
We think Throckmorton is about as fit
a man for governor as Mr.. Hogg. 1t is but just
that he should now be elected to that important
office in time of peace for he was deposed by the
reconstruction act in the dark days of the
Oh pull off and give something new.
These are peaceful times and there is no neces-
sity of electing war fossil just because he un-
fortunately happened to be elected governor at
a time when the carpetbaggers held this state oy
the umbilicus. BY the way. hasn't "Old
Throck. - served about six eight years in
congress7 And pray does not that pay HIM for
anything ever due him by the state, esl ecially
since he never distinguished himself or his con-
stituency while on Uncle Sans pay rolls
IMexia Democrat.
For eleven years he has had charge of
the cash. His integrity has been tested in many
ways, and is up to the highest possible standard,
He has one essential mark which above others
qualities him as custodian of the public funds
he is not a speculator but is satisfied to attend
strictly the business of his Office the salary
received from the state. he is familiar with all
the details of the treasurer's Office, and under
stands thoroughly its management.
This is the sort of man we want for treasurer
of the state of Texas The Office is one in which
no experiments should be tried. No unfamiliar
hand should touch it, be that hand ever SO wor-
thy of honor and trust.
This is one Office where business as well as
an honest man is needed, and in W. B. Wor-
than we have both.-lColeman Voice.
