| assist him. Hogg has great influence with
! the present Legislature, and as he IS
against Mills it may be safely said that he
| Will do eli IN his power To compass bis de-
! feat. But Hogg Is almost IN duty bound
! to support Terrell tor the position. HOgg
! hos spent the greater part of the last two
! months with Terrell on MS farm AZ South
| Austin. IL H0gg does not run himself,
which is doubtful. he will probably assist
| Terrell. Mll5's friends hope 10 have two
candidates 30 fight, which would assure
