THE PRESS AND GOVERNOR SAVERS.

Clifton Record: Governor sayers is do
ing what the people expected of'him-maK-
ing first-clase governor. one OF whom
the State will ever be proud to honor.
Halletsvllo Herald Those who expect
cd to run rough shod over Governor Say
ers struck a good sized snag. Governor
Sayers backbone Is as big as a fence
rail.
Lockhart Post: Governor Saycrs sits at
his table with the democratic platform In
one hand and his veto pencil In the other.
and woe betide the bill that don't toe the
mark with the platform.
Brennan Banner Governor Sayers can
be depended upon to guard and protect the
sacred rights and liberties OF the people
of Texas against any unwIsc and unjust
legislation. while he occupies the chair as
chief executive.
Carmine Enterprise: AS long as Cow
ernor Sayers Is In the chair the people
may rest at ease, for he Will watch and kill
every bill with his veto knife that would
be detrimental to the best interest OF the
State and prevent 1t from becoming law.
Waco Times Herald Governor Saycrs
has doubtless discovered before this limo
that seat In congress is paradise COM
pared with the gubernatorial chair. How
ever his excellency can lmbibe consola-
ton from the fact that now as then. he has
the people with him.
I'll Campo Eagle, Honest Joe Sayers Is
being substantiated in his official acts by
the people. and the bowls of corporations
and pie-eaters gives him very little dis
tress or annoyance. He believes he is
right. and the people indorse his conclu-
sions, and the entire State is being bene-
tited by his acts.
! Marlin Democrat The people will stand

dalton bills. The consolidation OF corpo-
rate interests is the death knell to the
rights OF the people and 1t is refreshing
to know that there are yet few men In
public life who are not dominated by the
Influence of syndicated wealth.
Bonham News: Governor sayers evil
IDENTIFY has the approval OF the great ma
jorlty OF the people of the State in his
course In vetoing the railroad consolida-
| tion bills, and the bills to Increase the
fees OF sheriffs and district clerks. Gov.
ernor Sayers so far has been faithful 10
the platform pledges. Honor him for 1t.
Waco Telephone; Even the enemies OF
Governor Sayers and those who disagree
with him politically admit that he has
plenty OF backbone. Whenever he met
with bill which he thought was vicious
he vetoed IL on the spot without apollo
gies to any one. He did n few things
! winch tUlS Thought were uUWlSe, nut
his course as q whole was satisfactory
and certainly no man can truthfully charge
him with weakness or collision.
Wichita Herald tWichita Falls): Tt
Governor Sayers: Stand by your guns!
The people are with you. You may have
erred slightly In minor matters, but the
general trend or your administration Is ali
right and has the approval OF the people
Your party honors you for endeavoring tC
faithfully carrying out it's solemn pledges
and the people, regardless OF party, will
stand by you in your honest efforts te
protect the masses against the classes
Mount Pleasant Times Review. Thost
who charged during the campaign
. that Governor Sayers was tn
candidate for the corporation and goldbua
interests are finding themselves 1sree-
ablo 1--WE hope) mistaken in their man
without any blowing of horn or beating
of drums to call attention to the fact, HI
is guarding with Jealous eye the people
interests. or all times this is one in whict
the peoples interests need watching. op
] position to the democratic party bein
, badly weakened and almost destroyed
which would, IL strong. keep before thu
people any vicious acts OF legislation, an
any measure which would be antagonist
to the public good would naturally nm
more support than at any other time
Hence the necessity for just such officer
as Governor Savers Is showing himsel
to be.
