think mans religion should be made

the Sayers cam Daign, as president of
the Agricultural and Mechanical COL
lege at Bryan. He is about as we'll fit
ted for the place as professional cow
boy would be for attorney general. 1t
is bad that the board could not find a
suitable man out of the hundreds of ex-
cellent teachers in the state 1t is said,
however, that every man on the board
is strongly in favor of Sayers for gov
ernor. which may mean something in
