Ex-Governor Hogg proposes 10 main
tain the organization perfected several
months ago to push his constitutional
amendments before the State convention
and will from this time on conduct the
campaign in their interest with prospec-
tive members of tho next legislature.
Unfortunately for him, however some OF
his followers are indlscretely discount ng
the success he attained at Waco In having
an Endorsement OF said amendments ncor-
porated in the platform as great person
al victory. In spite OF his own declaration
that he was not mixed up in the fight on
Bailey or concerned in anything save
specific Endorsement OF the additions he
desires made TO the organic law, the afore-
said followers insist upon having the Sc
curing OF said Endorsement viewed as
turn down for Bailey and a rebuke for
Sayers, all of whose friends, they assert,
were on the ground lined UP against the
ex-governor's proposition. Pitched along
these lines the final battle over the ex-
governors amendments can result In noth-
Ing but defeat for him. Giving him credit
for sincerity Of purpose and honesty OF
motive, and cutting out all suspicion of
desire for personal advantage, his chances
OF getting the Legislature to follow him IN
this case are poor Mt best No such cir
cumstances as those which arose at Waco
and which he was quick to take advan-
tage of to hurrah and subdue the conven-
ton can surround session Of the States
law-making body, so that he must rely
entirely upon the inherent merits OF his
propositions to win there. His victory at
Waco was not so pronounced as 10 Justify
him In the expectation of an easy time
with the legislature. The majority by
which his amendments we're Endorsed was
not large-nothing like proportionate to
the two-thirds vote required to duplicate
II before the legislature--and much there
81 came from counties whose Representa-
tives will vote the other way when the
time comes for them to take the final
stand. Borne in mind these facts should
cause the ex-governor friends TO drop
their talk about alleged turn-downs Il
they really hope to see him accomplish
what he declares 70 be a purely patriotic
purpose. for he will have a hard enough
time doing II without having to encounter
unnecessarily aroused resentment on the
part OF people OF equal strength before
the people with himself.
