HondeTson Times.
Texas never had a more competent or
faithful comptroller than Hon Il, w.
Finley. The close. systematic method with
which he scrutinizes every account for
which he is called upon 10 issue a warrant
should commend his candidacy to the tax
payers OF the STATE Your conn, roller
passes upon and issues warrants for all
She money that is paid out by the State
treasurer. During his administration he
has refused to pay a great many unjust
claims, and this, of course, has made him
some enemies, but the voter who Is
prompted only by pure, patriotic motives
will ndorse Finley's straightforward, hon
st adm ins ration and refuse to defeat him
by the election of one who is a stranger
TO the people of our state.
