A CARD TO VOTERS.

Sheriff Forbes Issues Statement
Touching on His Candidacy.
J BY reason of the fact that l have
not been out with the other county
candidates on their speaking cam
paign l feel that an explanation Is
due from me to the voters Of the
county, and l am sure they will ap-
preciate the circumstances under
which l am placed. For several
months past the business connected
with the sheriff's Office has been ex-
tremely dull and In order to curtail
expenses l have been compelled to
reduce my working forces. When the
summer term of county court con-
yened the criminal docket was pass
ed over until the first Monday In
July by Judge Spencer in order that
the farmers might not be taken from
their fields in the busy season to
serve on the jury. The trial OF Grim
inal cases began shortly after the
candidates started on their speaking
tour Having only one assistant In the
Office the work of the courth as re-
quired my entire time and it will
yet be several days before / can get
out among my friends. In the mean
time | want the voters to fully I'M
derstand that | appreciate the inter
est they have taken in my candidacy
for reelection, and | wish to as
sure them that | shall make every
possible effort to see them before
election day. Very truly yours,
w IL FORBES.

THE TEXAS REACTION.

BY this time it Is apparent that
Gov. Campbell is fully convinced
that his success In the primary is by
no means certainty. The governor
Is not only Smelling the woods him
self but he has brought into action
all the auxiliary batteries OF ora
torical artillery that his friends can
provide, and all over the state the
Campbell forces are trying to stem
the tide of opposition that is threat
ening to engulf him, says the San
Antonio Light.
And all because a plain blacksmith
who--was not known outside of his
community two months ago, an
nounced himself a candidate against
the governor.
North and central Texas are re-
ported to be aflame with enthusiastic
opposition to the governor and cor
respondingly enthusiastic partisan
ship for the Cumby candidate. In
almost every city and town in those
sections of the state there is Will
liams club, we'll organized and work
ing like beavers.
Why is 1t?
Nobody ascribes this condition of
affairs to any strength in Williams.
He may be strong personality and
might make a fine governor, but no
body has had a chance to find 1t
out, except from his few utterances,
since he entered the arena, and they
do not indicate that he is prodigy.
No, the support that is rallying to
williams and giving the governor
sleepless nights just now is not In
spired by special concern about VIII
liams or admiration for him; its
handspring is dissatisfaction with
conditions in Texas, the work Of the
30th legislature, the new tax laws,
sort of a general disgust and reyul-
sion on the part of the people, who
are Enthusiastically forgetful Of
their own part in bringing these con-
ditions about and have fixed upon
the governor as the object of their
wrath.
In other words the reaction has
set in. Texas wants a rest. 1t wants
surcease from radicalism.
The reaction may have got in mo-
ton too late, and the candidate it.
has centered upon may not be able
to grow to sufficient strength to de-
feat Governor Campbell but it is
safe to say that the next legislature
will be slow to adopt any laws that
are not safely within the limits of
conservatism.
