Texan Gives His Views ON Parker's
Letter of Acceptance.
Ex-Gov. Of Texas j. S. Hogg has
startled the American nation. We have
always thought Of Ex-tioverRor Hogg a.
being. IN a way, Commensurate with his
state, which is greater in area than half
dozen European municipalities, and
boasts among its citizens large number
of the best citizens 6f the United States.
even though il generally goes Demo
cratic In the minds of the American
people, Ex-Governor Hogg has seemed
fine but somewhat rude aud rough ex-
empliieation of the State of Texas We
have admired him. bat we have never
suspected that he was possessed of such
keen aeumen as he has recently exhibit
ed. We have never supposed that this
man down in Texas had the perceptive
qualities which could enable him to
make such delicate analysis Of Mr.. Park
er's letter of acceptance rs he has done.
Here Is n part Of what the Ex-Governor
says concerning that remarkable letter
Of acceptance:
/ have been roundly abused by the news
papers and the railroad lebby about A
speech I made at Hogston during the
with Judge Parkers attitude at the St
Louis convention, and so expressed myself
In that speech. He has carefully pre-
snee and p submit that he SgwRe1. pda
himself 10 favor the enforcement of law
| against trusts, and that he will encourage
and support the completion Of the great
Panama canal He tells us that tsrfG laws
can not be modified during the next four
years because the Senate f. and VIII con
tinQe to be Republican, at the same time
| edy by which to destroy the trusts Is by
changing these laws. As ne nowhere prom
lses to further enforce the United States
| law under which the Northern securities
company and other trusts were dissolv ed,
| then logically We could have but little
| hope Of the trusts being disturbed under his
| administration. In view his statement that
| the effective remedy Is to change the tariff
| laws, and that this cannot be done because
| the Senate will remain Republican for
| the next four years.
do not catch the point wherein he
| denounces the mobs In different parts Of
oar beloved country, for the commission
| Of such crimes are beyond federal legisla-
ton and are subject to be dealt with by
the States only In which they occur. How
ever. | am glad that he abuses mobs. as
| every other citizen should DO, hut, to say
the least. II looks ungraceful In speech
| OF this kind. Our nominee, however, prom
ises US a letter Of acceptance and | do
hope In 1t that he viii be plain unequiv.
| ocal outspoken in declaration that, IL
| elected, he will exercise his constitutional
powers To the fullest extent in suppressing
| trusts engaged In foreign and Interstate
| commerce and that he will not try TO
thwart, but will press to completion, the
great isthmian canal now under copstruc-
| ton.
This is one of the most striking of the
earliest manifestations of the campaign
of 1904. 1t is marvellous! How thin
must have been the Cruel which the
Democratic presidential candidate serv
ed out to the country to inspire such 1
perfect expression from an exiioverno
of Texas. We expect big, wholesome
things from the ex-Governors of Texas
but we do not expect from any one o.
them any such keen and delicate anC
literary analysis Of political documen
as Ex-Governor Hogg has seen fit to be
stow upon the letter of acceptance o.
the Democratic candidate.
Why, it's a revolution in all that re
lates to political manifestations 1t il
wonderful and delicious from ever!
point of view. The United States is be
ginning to appreciate Ex-Governor Hog
of Texas. He knows something senil'
when he sees it.
