1t is said that in most OF the Gamer

The 'Drago" stock is still on the rise

follows: Judge r.. L. Maupin, q. r.

The fast named spoke freely OF his
interview with the Governor but would
allow publication of nothing except
that the party got no encouragement
In their mission. It Is understood that
the Governor was not curt in his treat
ment OF the visitors but he must have
been arm. He did not indicate whom
he would appoint as the successor of
Mr.. Cazalas, but Mr.. Drago's name was
well defended. IL is said. by the Cover
nor. whose campaign manager the
grain dealer was during his race for
the presidency OF the Railroad Com
mission In 1904. His services then and
since have not been forgotten In spite
OF the insistence Of the visitors yes
terday, that in his environment Mr..
Drago may not be expected to give the
most vigorous attention to the ONCE.
The party is said to have called on

the men named are prominent prohi-
