THE TEXAS EDITORS.

The Houston Post Is q great paper and
tho sun likes NJ and reads It with more
Interest and profit than any other daNy
we get, but we find IL INDUCING in some
little traits that doesn't speak well for n
GREAT newspaper II mentions the cand-
dncy of all candidates for state office s
except candidates for lieutenant governor
but never fails to copy everything said
Nv other papers about Editor Johnston.
who Is Il possible candidate for lieut. enan Mt
governor. Wonder 4 The Post Intends
making Itself q blowing horn for It's cd
dtor and manager and ignore all opposing
candidates? Ut would seem 40. Senator
Cough OF Collin county "a we'll as others,
has benn favorably mentioned for leu

In this connection has appeared in The
Post since the possible candidacy OF ed
tor Johnston was mnde. This IL what We
call httle In a hg paper that poses as
bens above puoty spto and envy.-knuf-
man sun.
The above Is false from beginning TO
end, wholly and gratuitously so, A large
number OF Texas papers have mentioned
the name of Mr.. Johnston In connection
with the office Of lieutenant governor but
not one of these notices has been copied
into The Post, and several hundred Texas
editors who exchange with and read The
Post are offered as Witnesses I'm proof OF
tho fals,ty OF tho Kaufman papers asset

itor OF tho Sun, who Is also a candidate
for the position named. The latter will
not, however. help his chances by in
dulging in such clumsy Misrepresentation
as that quoted above.
