Buie Of the state department. returned a
day or two ago from a trip to Dallas.
| Waxahachie and other points in North
Texas While at Dallas he attended the
meeting OF tho Texas Press Association, OF
which organization he is member and
knowing his earnest advocacy Of the can
didacy OF Governor Cuiberson for the
United States senate The Post correspond
eat today asked him what he found the
sentiment TO be among the newspaper men
Regarding the aspirations OF the several
gentlemen now before the people for that
nigh office. He replied:
There were some thirty or forty news
papermen al the meeting of our associa-
tion, representing in nearly every instance
the leading paper in their territory.
talked with nearly all Of than and found
an almost unanimous sentiment favorable
to the governors candidacy. From every
section the expressions came and in no
instance did hear single one against the
governors candidacy. Several OF the boys
were non -committal but ia no case did |
hear outspoken opposition TO the governor
Did you talk with any Of the rural de-
mocracy, and how docs il stand?'
Yes. In Ellis county ! saw not few
OF those siancb democrats who tickle the
bosom Of Mother Earth and by their labors
feed the world--the ncbleSt OF all Gods
noblemen, who do more and get less for 1t,
who have the capacity for measuring true
men and approaching the value of states
mans service 10 his country-and amcng
those | found that Charley Culberson, rs
they Familiarity call the governor, has the
lead of all entries in the senatorial derby.
They are proud Of his record and point 10
his veto OF an appropriation bill that
l-atN
and his decree 10 the legislature that it
must redeem the promises made the people
in the democratic platform, as well an the
excellent condition OF the public schools
and the public school fund as justifying
them in his support. His devotion 10 the
peoples interests at all times, his protec-
tlon of the States honor at a critical lime
all appeal to them. and II they remain OF
the same mind you will see landslide OF
the wool hat democracy to the governors
banner.
Among all the expressions, however. of
the friends of Governor Culberson one fea-
ture was quite noticeable, and that was
that none of them had a single harsh word
for Judge Reagan. Almost to a inan Texas
democrats admire the Grand Old Roman
as they delight to call him. and many viii
support him. but the consensus OF opinion
was almost unanimous. so far as my oh

TO assume the labors, trials and harlahios
