IT SEEMS ike waste of ammuni-
ton on dead ducks to make any re-
ference to the Clarkites.
BEAUMONT precinct goes against
Hogg because it is numbering town
and is afraid of the railroads.
THE Hallettsville Herald is keep
ing lookout for the Huntsville,
Brennan and La Grange railroad.
F'latonia also wants it.
Is Eugene Field, OF the Chicago
News, on the Dallas News? At any
rate it has stolen his 'Sharps and
Flats" patent.
TnE railway commission will do
away with the powerful railroad
lobby that besieges and attempts to
debauch every legislature.
The Clark campaign is still making
Gratifying progress" to the other
fellows. Several more counties in
structed for Hogg at last Saturdays
conventions and none for Hall or
Cook.
They all want Hogg, it seems,
whether they want railroad COM
mission or not. How is that for com
munism? Bell and Marion counties
instruct for Hogg but against the
railway commission.

the most influential men in the
state.
ONzof the greatest ''hunorosities"
of the present campaign is illus

two editors, one of whom is for
Hogg and the other for Cook. |
whenever one tries to get IN a good
word for his favorite in the paper
the other offsets it.
The Cherokee Herald charges that
f. M. Maddox, the Austin land |
agent who is managing Halls pre-
tended campaign, wrote to G. c. |
