AN ExECUTIvE ODE.

Waco Day. y
I'm governor of Texas, and weigh
Three hundred pounds,
tAnd when you see me sit
Upon man like Harrison or Cone
johnson,
Just listen for a minute and you'll hear
Their bones crack like the twigs
That strew the ground beneath
| The forest trees
| OF old East Texas
| When
Some mighty hunter roams the woods
| In search of game.
| And since East Texas has
Been mentioned here,
| Why, Tyler might as well
| Be in it too.
Tyler,
| The place where / have lived,
And Horace lives.
Me and Horace;
You can bet weir in 1t
UP to the neck.
What's Hogg to Brown or Terrell,
Or what's them to him,
That he should shrek
And tear his shirt for them?
They're in the soup,
While he
Stands on the toureen's edge
And stirs things up
with spoon.
Brown and Terrell
They will do
When there Is something to be done
And tools are in demands;
But when it comes to giving out,
The offices,
Then give me old East Texas
And East Texas men.
And there's Farmer Shaw,
Bill;
The best man that ever saw,
To whoOp the grangers up
In time of need.
But since election Bill is too
ObStreperOus.
He should know that.it's impossible
or me
To keep all of the promises,
Or half,
Made to the people.
Bill is man
That would fain ignore,
But that pesky cuss
Won't stay ignored.
He's too fly,
Therefore, I'll set my minions of the press
To cussing him
And saying that he's for third
Party.
Whom cannot rule or ignore
I'll crush.
That's me,
jim Hogg,
You hear me SQueal:
By gatlins!

GEORGIA people demand a two cent
mile railroad fare. Texas would
like two cent call also, but neither
in Texas nor in Georgia will :the trav-

mile fares are not ripe in this section

them green.
