an exceptional thing to find the
legislature OF state unwilling to
accede to the request OF the gov
ernor in a public matter in which
none OF their personal interests and
prerogstives are concerned, and the
legislature of Texas will prove no
exception to this general law. The
expressions of opinion, so far as
heard by the LIGHT in person and
also as reported in press opinion g,
lead to the conclusion that Mr..
Culberson's Legislature will answer
all his expectations, and that he
will find himself, as the result of

The governor has ambitions, and
he is justified in having them.

Corbett- Fltzsimmons fight is a
thing Of the past. The effect of
this movement upon the state is
not at issue, it'is its influence
