The Houston Post has received ex-
pressions from 1854 postm asters of
Texas as to who was the most popular
candidate for governor, Hogg or Clark
in their respective communities and
their reptiles show that in their opin-
ion Hogg has 636 communities and
Clark 439 scattering 10. This is
encouraging if true. Judge Clark
did not expect to win without hard
fight and the Posts canvass shows that
he has more than one third of
the communities heard from 10 begin
with. The counties of Fannin, Collin,
Hopkins, Hunt and Lamar where
Clark spoke during his trip in North
east Texas show majority for Clark
which proves that when the Little
Giant gets before the people he wins
their favor. A very singular aud to a
Clark man suggestive feature in this
attempt of the Post to poll the state is
its failure to report the cities, or big
towns. Palestine is left out of An.
derson county, Rusk out of Cherokee,
Bell out of Bell county, San Antonio
out of Bexar, Meridian out of Bos-

Kinney out of Collin, Gainesville out

The people who voted for Hogg in
1890 because they wanted the rail
roads deprived OF the privilege of ap.
pealing to the courts on equal terms
with other people are for him yet fol-
the same purpose. Those who voted
for Hogg then because he was the
representative of the commission idea
and favored that method of controlling
the railroads, but defended him against
the charge that he wanted
to deprive the railroads of
their legal rights are naturally dis
appointed stree discovering that the
man they supported and defended has
been unwilling to deal out justice to
the railroads, but on the contrary
seems determined to wage perpetual
war on this vast industrial interest
because he thinks it is popular with
the people. The NEWS believes that
the majority of Texas Democrats are
opposed to oppression of every kind,
and believes they will set Texas right
before the world by rebuking the
present administration for placing
upon them the stigma of communism.
Judge Clark's election would do this
more effectively than anything else,
and every good citizen of Texas who
loves the good name of his state better
than he loves Hogg should vote and
work for CLARK.

The Denison Herald knows a Czal
when it sees one. 1t says:
Seth Shepard says Hogg tries tc
be a Joss and wants the people to bow
down before him as their idol. Yes
and he'd make US all eat with chor
sticks if he could. Rats"
The Weatherford Enquirer re-
minds the people of who first came to
the front for Mills. 1t says
"Of course the legislators who
were forced to vote for Mills, think
and delare it would be undignified
and meddlesome for Mills TO take the
field for Clark. They ignore the fact
that Clark was the first to take the
field for Mills"
The Convention, a weekly paper
published in Galveston, is putting in
some good licks for Clark and pro-
gress. 1t says:
Turn Texas loose" Give her free
rein and fair show. In a spirit of
justice let her control the great public
development agencies, not Cypress
and injure them. The state badly
needs deliverance from the swash-
bucklers and so called statesmen
whose advent into state affairs makes
period of depression and retrograde
movement in the states growth and

The Glen Rose Herald comes back
at its critics thusly:

Reform is always a good thing

There is no doubt that railroad cor

of many petty tyrannies over

they have oft times charged unjust
freight rates. Yet the fact remains
that Texas needs railroads, and needs
them worse than any other state. Her

Tahlequah special to Fort Worth Gazette.

Gently gained considerable newspaper
n0tnriety by laying claim TO town site in
the newly opened lands. His claim, how
ever, has been declared invalid by the
Land-0flice men, and he gave it up and re-
turned 10 his home in the Cherokee Nation
this week.
From him your reporter obtained the
following romantic incident, which hap
pened during the exciting siege of lot
jumping alter the news came from Wash
ington that the majors claim was not valid.
A young man and a young woman, mistaE-
Ing or overlooking the lines. settled on the
same lot, 1t being very valuable one. They
both held it down ali Sunday. Sunday night
and Monday. Each dared not leave il.
fearing that the other would claim title TO it
by right of continual occupancy.
The young man was the first to show
signs Of weakening. tor as the shadows of
the evening were falling on Monday he
cautiously approached the end of the lot Oh
which the young woman was located and
opened negotiations with her. HIS diplo-
macy was of no avail. and as last resort
he stated that a S both of them had a claim
them to get married and by that means h"ld
the property Jointly and legitimately. With
the native nerve and pluck of an Okla
homa girl. she accepted the proposition. and
comDlimeuted the good sense of her gallant
contestant in the happy means he devised
for settling the difficulty. lie invited her
TO accompany him TO the matr i'm oaial mill
to have the knot tied. but she refused. aud
insisted that he was only trying to get her
off the lot in order that he might GET exclu-
Siye possession.
IF you want to marry me and own the
lot" said she. You must bring the preacher
here and make me your wife on the spot:
otherwise Will stay in possession and claim
nv rights"
He. on the other hand, was afraid that If
be left the property tn go in search of
preacher she would take advantage of his
absence aud do exactly what she had init
mated that he might do under similar cir
cumstances.
The fact of the matter was that each was
honest in their matrimonial intentions, but
in that primitive country young people
have not as much confidence in one another
as they usually have in other communities.
At length third party came 10 the rescue
by going for preacher. who soon made his
appearance on The scene with the necessary
marriage License. and the hymenial knot
was tied without further trouble.
