Ex-Governor HoR2 Gets Up Good
Gnke of EriRht

Austin, Texas. October l8-.In oonyersa-
ton with Tho Post correspondent today
Ex-Governor tJogg expressed himself as
follows and authorized the publication OF
| his statement;
/ i regard the raising OF the quarantine
from Houston and Galveston as very un-
fortunate at this time There is no onos-
ton but that yellow fever prevails and Is
doep-rooted at many places In Louisiana
ana mississippi. There may not be a case
IN Houston or Galveston. The most pro-
found experts, however, declare there have
been several cases IN each city Up TO date
thty have not retracted their official atate-
mcnia. The criticisms. condemnation and
| abuse OF prs. Guitoras md Swearhgen
show temper of mind In those two cities
which greatly detracts from tho strength
Of their opinions.
Again, tho people OF those cities are
greatly biased by reason OF their commar-
clai environments. In other words, this la
| the business season of the year. BuBincsa
men OF those cities, aa well as all the peo-
Pile there, have the sympathy OF all out
sidels II Is n doplorable condition In which
they have been placed Hut what about
Texas aud people Of the interior cities and
towns spread OF yellow fcver at this
time would be very disastrous In more
ways than one All experts say that when
once started It can not be expected to die
Out before frost, therefore, II yellow fever
has been IN Galveston or Houston, or in
either place. In all probability 1t viii yet
spread AZ least IT. may spread. This is
enough to put the public on guard.
| The diagnoses OF Drs swearlngon and
| 0uiterns have been corroborated by some
very Suspicious circumstances First,
neither OF them has ever rctractel what
no said Second, ono OF the local doctors
AT galveston who first raised the issue
that thero WAs no yellow fever there did
| rclraut his opinion ard declare that the
disease was there. Third, the local ply
siulans In Galveston IN the faos OF a very
| rnntankcgous public opinion, lack A great
zeal OF being unanimous in he opinion
| that there is no yellow Fever at that place
fourth, notwithstanding the inspiring
temptation thrown ont by the several raIl-
roads 10 haul tho expert doctors to ana
from Galveston and Houston 10 mako a
cafetul examination, they failed to get
more lhan one or two leading physicians 10
| go there. THIS makes Il evident TO nv
niind that most OF the experts throughout
uno STATE are In accord with the diagnoses
