Editorial Comments.

Let it be conceded there are really
strong grounds for the opinion that
President Wilson may carry Texas
next November. If these indications
are taken at their full worth, some
enthusiasts will soon be going out to
bet that the tide will sweep on until
Mississippi and Alabama are also en-
rolled in the Democratic column.
Many big Democrats willing and
ready to speak for Wilson are care
full that their money shall not say any
thing on his side.
President Wilson says he is utter
" Indifferent as to his reelection.
Perhaps that explains a good many
things nobody has heretofore been
able to understand.

Charles e. Hughes cannot get so far
away from Washington that the men
in charge of the chariot of government
there do not feel the jOlting of his
criticisms. In fact, the Democratic
leaders at the capital city show symp-
toms of sea-sickness from the way in
which the ex-justice of the Supreme
court has shaken them up. Mr..
Hughes is pursuing the only proper
method, which is first to take the
deadwood out of the way so that the
path to righteous and propitious gov
eminent may be made clear.

into Mexico. He did not get his

wounded; and then he brought
the army home without achiev-
ing either object. President
Wilson sent an army into Mexico
in 1916, as we were infornnee
at the time, to get Villa dead
l or alive" They did not get him
dead. They did not get him
I alive. Again several hundred
men were killed and wounded.
