Elk Governor, o. NJ. Roberts, of
Texas, has put himself forward as a
candidate for Governor, independ-
ent OF the money platform or OF

kind. He says:
81 am a candidate for Governor
of Texas independent of the silver
party organized in the Dudley Com
mittee and of the computation con-
vention that will meet in Fort
Worth in August. He further
says: 81 am a candidate as well
known Texas Democrat and will
run in the old well-beaten track of
that party to promote the good
local self-government of this state

divorced from any federal issue
