HoGe ENTERS THE RING.

HOGG ENTERS THE RING.
The message Is sent to this city b.
his unpOpularity, Governor HOgg
"Shardein is my choice for mayor O
San Antonio" The messenger i
Martin Jlminez, fired from his post il
the Texas House of Representative
for voting for Clark last fall. Thil
City is under the impression that il
expressed it's opinion of Hogg rather
foTcibly at the ballot box last Novem
Der, and that his election as governor
was in spite OF the protest of her citi-
z9ns at the polls. This belng so, is il
not rather cheeky for this Hogg to
obtrude himself int our local affairs
and attempt to rule the city through
the small democratic minority that
voted for him? Is it not enough that
the very respecta BILE democratic MIN
GRITTY that voted for Clark In tn 9
state have been denied all considera-
ton In the state appointments, and
that recommendations to federal
place for Texans will only be
given Hogg's supporters, without
this high. handed attempt to
Interference in q municipal elee-
ton in city that has On more than
one occasion expressed its lack Of
confidence In this very man who as.
sumes to dictate city policy tor ilt'
II Hogg has no legal right to interfere
in our municipal affairs he certainly
has none by virtue of the good opIn-
ion entertained of him by the major
ity of the citizens. All due respect
will be paid to him IS the head of the
state government, but when he at
tempts to usurp an authority that Is
no more his than are the revenues
Of the city he presumes upon his pos
ition, and mnst be taught his place.
Governor Hogg has too frequently
stepped beyond the line Of official

sonal feeling against this city for her

resentment. 1t is not
30 long since he dismissed from
the state service Captain Me-
Neil, of this city. that the people !
have forgotten it. Dismissed him o.
tensibly for inefficiency, when his
efficiency was the praise of the whole
border country, thus adding injury
to the disgrace hesped upon him. III
Mcneil was so efficient how does it
happen that the captures of the bor-
der bandits were nearly all made by
his command, and that having left
the state service because of their
captains removal they are now, as
federal scouts, leading the regular
troops to the capture of more CARA
men than they have apprehended in
q year, and why was it that this in
efficiency was not discovered until
after Mcneil ceased to be Hoggite?
Governor Hogg's threats against this
city ia the past are not forgotten,
nor how he brought the city into dis
credit by his Examinations against
her disregard of mis- Sunday regula-
tio1s, that is in 80 far as 1t was
in his power to discredlt her.
His attempted interference in the
affairs of the city in the inter-
est of the CSllaghan combine is not
relished. The free and independent
voters of this city do not believe that
because Callaghan was the head and
front OF . democratic minority that
voted for Hogg last fall that Hogg Is
justified In interfering in the city
election this spring, that the predomi-
hence of Callaghan in the control OF
the city may be perpetuated. They
regard this interference as serious
menace to the freedom OF the city and
q grave trespass on the part of the
governor that must be rebuked. 1t
may be natural that the sutocrat of
the sta should interpose his
authority for the perpetuation of the
Callaghan autocra ~ in this city, but
the citizens resent the interference all
the same. They will voice that re-
sentiment at the polls on Monday as
effectively as they did on the eighth
day Of last November.
