POLITICAL SCRAPS.

Democrat.
Some of the names, even though
they are not all of democrats, in the
call to Turn Texas Loose" and form
Clark club, must be enough TO con-
vince certain member of the demo-
cratic state executive committee that
Bexar county is not for Hogg.
Judge Wurzbach, though perhaps
not the first to detect, was the first to
censure Gov. Hogg and his superin-
tendent under him, for finding not o
solitary competent employee in San
Antonio, for San Antonio's South
il the enemy of San Antonio, and de-
serves credit for taking no pains to
conceal it.
II departed \spirits can influence
their offspring on earth, the late Ia
mented Joseph Dryers is not on the
list. Joseph Dryer always went
with his people and never sought TO
thwart their efforts. Bexar county
will vote for Clark. even II Mr.. Ed
ward Dryer declared for aogg.
The western counties adjoining
Bexar and beyond, all say Turn
Texas Loose" Bexar county will in
deed be lonesome If it Is manipulated
to appear otherwise.

espie will show and declare they are
true to their friends-Clark and Mills
are not forgotten by them.
The local committee that has the
reception and entertainment of the
Press Association in charge did the
proper thing in inviting President
Harrison and DiaZ and our present
governor: it would have been no i'm
proper act to have invited also all
the ex governors, and our future
Governor, George Clark for whom
several of the former are warm sup
porters. "Turn Texas Loose" and
don't be slow to turn her.

worked hard in the same cause. Ask
them who were the leaders of that
grand csmpaign-when the LIGHT
did not charge 20 cents per line-to
give credit to Mills and Clark.
"Short Stops" deserves the thanks
of all fair minded readers of the
LIGHT no matter what party they
belong 10 in the south, for having
illuminated the bape and slur of
"Judas Iscariot and Benedict Ar
mold" from it's columns, when -ap-
piled to great departed statesman,
an iliustrious ex-cabinet minister and
the Hero of Buena Vista.
IfGov. Hogg ever joined or affllia-
tive with the ti-Prohibitionists,
we would like to see his certificate.
George Clark wants none of the
powers that ought to be reserved to
the people, he wants r. r. Commits
sion for and by the the people, not as
power for himself.
If any governor of Texas, has an

Eight hundred dollars per month or
So, 800 per anpum for a local railroad
attorney does not seem so excessive,
when it is remem bered that the /. d
G. n. railroad had to pay to Governor
Hogg's trusted lieutenant, our state
Chairman Finley, about 81 900 per day,
and that, too, when the road was sur
charged with receiverships.
