This is a democracy and in a democracy the faces in the political pic

state railroad commission continues
as dumb as an oyster as to his in
tentions. but those who know him
best declare that it would be the
proudest moment Of his life If the
fateS should decree that he is to be
the governor Of his native state. He
was urged to run for the office six
and four years ago by his former
colleague on the commission, the
Hon. Earle B. Mayfield.
Gilmore could not see his way
clear at the time. His political
vision may have improved wonder
fully as the years have flown by
six or four so to speak. AS for
Mayfield, he is said to be Just as
ambitious as ever. When William
P. Hobby made the race for gov
ernor, Mayfield had a following who
insisted that he should contest with
Hobby as to who should be the
winner Of the golden prize. Hobby
was his friend and pal. Mayfield
declined to invade the arena. Now
he has a temptin offer to become
one of the legal advisers of a very
important Texas corporation, and
he has friends who are doing their
best to push him into the guberna-
torial contest in 1890. Mayfield de-
feated the confirmation Of Neff. He
is hands off in the Colquitt con
troverSy. 1t is said that many Of
the heads Of the Texas railway la
Dor union do not take kindly to the
nomination Of Colquitt for the place
on the mediation board. They de-
manded the scalp Of Neff. Neff
lost. AS for Colcuitt, in political
circles it is conceded that if Sens.
Sheppard and Connally hands off"
the Colquitt nomination will be cor
firmed.
But back to Mayfield. His friends
say that the rail organizations have
always supported him as a candi-
date for office. They say that if
he is able to hold his first primary
support as shown in former cam
paigns he might be able to be in
the contest which must come in

A PREACHER PRAYS

A good many years ago, the first time when I ran for the Senate, I spoke one Saturday evening in one of Nebrasa's beautiful cities, and the next morning a gentleman approach ed me, introduced himself, said he was a preacher. He had come F miles from a little town to hear me speak the night before. He had to hurry back and could not visit with me very long be- cause he was due to deliver his regular Sunday sermon at HOO o'clock, but he wanted to tell me.
 MT. Norris, I want to tell you how interested I am in your campaign; how anxious I am to see that you are elected to the United States Senate. I get so enthusiastic about your com Ipaign that every night on bend ed knee, I pray God to protect you, and to see that you are elected to the United States Senate"
 He said, T get so enthusiastic that sometimes I almost feel as though I want to vote for you myself"
 And I said, well, my friend, if that's the way you feel, why don't you vote for me?" And he said, T am a Democrat" Now there you had it. There was a a preacher, a leader in his con- munity, a follower of the loWly Nazerene, a man who ought to have said with Ben Adhem, Write my name as one who loves my fellow men," and yet he was asking God to do what i; he did not have the courage to do himself. He was praying one way and voting another. He killed his own prayer with his own vote.

Frogs Drilled In
Versatile Attack
By Coach Schmidt

FORT WORTH, March 22.-With
the Southwestern Exposition and
Fat Stock Show pass, Coach Francis
A. Schmidt, now Horned Frog grid
coach, has his full squad again for
spring football work.
The squad was badly shot to
pieces last week, with most Of the
athletes working as gatemen and
guards at the show. With the re-
turn of his full squad, Schmidt will
enter his last week Of spring work
at the Purple institution with re-
newed vigor, whipping his prospects
into the Semblence Of a team for his
work next fall.
Line Coach Raymond Wolf has
also been busy with his charges,
teaching stance, charging, pulling
out of the line and other funda-
mentals. The new Purple coaches
have not as yet definitely decided
upon a method of play, but it is
certain that the Frog team will
undergo a revolution.
Shifts have been made in the line
to add offensive power, especially
on the ends, and linemen are being
taught a shiftier, more versatile at
tack. From prospects this early in
the year, it would appear that the
Frogs will pack more offensive next
year than ever before. This is due
largely to the crack backfield flashes
who will be available for use next
year.
