STATEMENT BY WIN. SHAW
nc Is Not One Of the Savers Cam
paian Managers.
He WANTS THIS FACT uNDtRS food
As He Doesn't want The nnstrop
Man Held Responsible for
the Texas Farmer.
ro the Editor o, The rost.

Tc the Editor OF The fost.
Dallas, Texas. March 5.--circumstances
and a too partial press have pointed to me
as one of Mr.. Sayers' leaders or man
| ayers.
This is not Just to me. and 1t certainly
does, or may do. Major sayers d still
| greater injustice.
am lot for sayers for governor. am
for Texas. MY personal raiatiurs 10 Mr.
Soyers are no closer than 10 any other OF
the ostinahle and clean" democrats who
are candidates for governor. Indeed. may
say candidiy that my personal relations are
not SO close TO Mr.. Sayers as to AIR, Jester.
Were governed by personal feelings alone
would certainly be Tor the modest but
most estiinabe Corsieana man. But am
FOR Sayers simply because, under existing
conditions. think it Will be best for grand
old Texas that he win In this contest. Ally
reasons are too numerous to give here.
Inc main reason, however that | do not
wish IL TO be understood that am one OF
Mr.. Sayers' managers or leaders, IS thar
think there are other contests in this
campaign OF infinitely more Importance
TO the people than the contest for governor.
Among these l mention the contest for
railroad commissioner, The man to he
elected gets a six years term. No nomina-
tion TO be given aJ the ensuing convention
is of half the Importance 10 the people.
may also mention the offices of state
school superintendent and l0ud commits
eioner.
Now, ! don't want Major sayers and his
managers held responsible for my utter
ances anent these offices, nor the candi-
dates 10 ill them.
Hence, permit me 10 say that neither
Major Sayers nor his management ara re-
being in favor of his election for governor.
know nothing OF the plan of campaign"
adopted by his managers, and have neither
the time NOR inclination to find out
do not know whom Major Sayers nor
any of his managers favor for railroad
commissioner, superintendent OF public iH-
struCtien, land commissioner nor any
ether office. And none of these know my
preferences in the respects noted.
Hence, neither Major Sayers nor his
should have either praise or
Censure for any utterances of the laper |
Falmer
| make these statements for tho reason
that 'strllers' for other candidates are
trying to make capital against Major Say
ors because OF what they are pleased to
soners." Nobody except myself Is respon-
sihle for any war" | make on these or
any other official entity. / think ! am
able to take care of myself in the promises.
oId respectfully ask that others be not
asked to share the responsibility. Yours |
truly, w. A. Shaw.
