Ex-Governor Hubbard of Texas, who was
minister TO japan, was interviewed at New
Orleans regarding Texas politics. He said
Hogs administration had disappointed
the people, and the next convention would
either nominate George Clark of Waco or
some dark horse. Texas Was tired of the
views and policies Hogg had fast
ened upon the people. Texas had
ceased to be an uncivilized state
She was the peer of any state in the Union.
Clark would represent the people; the mar
row ideas now dominating the state capital
would be dissipated with Clark in the GU
bernatorial chair. "How IS Texas on the
presidential question:" David B. Hill is
one of the biggest men in American poll
tics. HE is a Democrat His enemies
are mugwumps and that is why we people |
of Texas love him. He will get the vote of
Texas in the national convention, and pre-
dict will be nominated and elected"
