proud that the people of Texas are in

proud that after standing to the con-
stitution and my platform the people
have arisen and rendered their YER
dict of commendation.
While the tongues of Islander nave
been turned loose at both ends, In

and grateful to say that the good and
intelligent people of Austin have al
WAYS stood by me. He pledged him
self to maintain the constitution and
to execute the laws to the full extent
ofhis executive power, and that every
plank of his platform would be
strictly adhered to and maintained.
We will have the ilded palaces above
YOUR saloons kept closed, and l want
YOU to understand it. (Cheers.) Aus
TN is the idol of Texas. Concen-
trated here is the university and all
the institutions supported by the peo.
nile of Texas, and l intend to protect
them from those evil influences that

as the empire state of Democracy; the

mended by my platform. l am going to

Third partyites and Boltocrats. We
want equal rights to all and
if we give them we may not and can
not fear the result. / will try to dc
that and at the end of two years
hope the people of Texas will think
more of Jim Hogg than they do now.
