The above letter was quite a surprise to

Governor Hogg might wei pray "Oh

friends" and more especially would this
prayer be appropriate In reference TO
the distRsteful oiiciousness Of sclf-con-
Btituted leaders who seek for some cause,

BE ON YOUR GUARD.
The Latest Dodge to obtain the Election
OF the Great joss

Austin, Tex, Nov. 4-(Special)- Let
true Democrats, Populists, Republicans,
and In fact partisans Of all denominati-
Ons be on their guard.
Your reporter to-day had handed him
four tickets headed as follows; Dem
Ocratlc Ticket "Cleveland aud Steven
son" Weaver and Fields Electors" and
Harrison and Reid Electors" All Of the
tickets bear the full Hogg state ticket.
The tickets are being printed by the hun
dred Of thousands by the Hogg cam
paign committee and sent over the state
broadcast, so your reporter is informed.
Those he has In his possession are in
tended for Travis county and with the
exception of the first, which bears the
regular Democratic county nominees the
others contain all the candidates and In
considering this scheme 1t will be well
to remember that Hogg has claimed he
don't want the negroes votes, yet it will
be seen that he tries to sneak In and OBJ
tain their votes by having his name
placed under the Republican electors
Their intention seems TO be to sacrifice
every one to obtain the election Of the
great joss.

Inquiry was made OF the chairman
OF the Hogg executive committee as It was
supposed on account OF the Hogg tickets be-
