William Clifford Hogg

William Clifford Hogg has passed out Of the ptc-
ture. He died under foreign skies. He was the son
Of the first native Texan called to the office Of gov.
ernor. He was the grandson OF a Confederate Of
ficer who died while the Civil war was on. James
Stephen Hogg was perhaps the ablest political leader
that Texas has known. He was constructive, he was
courageous. he was the champion Of the rights Of the
people He was a great attorney general, a greater
governor, and he contributed nightly to the smash
ing OF political machines and in the enactment OF
reform laws until he retired to private life.
William Clifford Hogg. born in Wood county IS
years ago. was q product Of the public schools OF
Austin as well as a product Of the University Of
Texas. He was poor in pocket until petroleum was
brought in by a driller on the Hogg ranch In the
lower country, and then millions poured into the laps
or the pockets OF the daughter and three sons Of the
Texas statesman who was known as "the great COM
moner' and who sleeps in the shade Of pecan trees
as he directed before death called him away.
Directing head Of the Hogg Industries, VIII Hogg
figured in the politics Of Texas but never as a can
didate FOR office. He had a passionate love for the
University Of Texas. and his substantial subscriptions
to that institution and his assistance to worthy young
men and women. ambitious 10 obtain an educatiorI
placed him in the forefront in the educational wtrld
Of Texas. He was a university regent for many
years and his influence IN university matters was
powerful at all times. He never married. He led a
busy life. He was a globe trotter. He maintained
homes in Texas. New York and Paris.
He was an art collector of note. He had his likes
and dislikes as he was q man of strong preiudices as
we'll as strong friendship and his death was a great
shock to those who were close to him in business and
political and club circles the country over. In the
shade Of the pecan trees his dust will repose. He
played his part on the stage Of activity and then ne
made his exit as all mortals NEST when the SUNNI rs
come.

DuPonts Of Delaware Jump
Reservation

Du Points OF Delaware have deserted the republican
reservation. They have been the angels in campaign
years Of the republicans OF Delaware. Now they are
in behind Z. S. Sen. Thomas F. Bayard, wet demo-
cratic candidate. for United States senator and will
back Rayard to a finish. They deserted the repub-
lcan party because the leaders in Delaware nomi-
mated for the senate and congress candidates who
are either dry or straddlers."
Dwight w. Morrow started something when he in
vaded the political arena in New JERSEY. declared
for the repeal OF the 18th amendment and then car
ried every county in the state. In 1928 the democrats
were denounced as the wet party Of America. Now
the pro issue has split the republican party wide omen
in many Of the Northern and Western states. What
will happen in 1882?

Ever running true to form. In prosperity days or the
reverse. the Maine republicans ran true to form on
September election day and elected q republican
United Statse senator, a governor and minor state
offices and all four members of congress. Maine is as
reliably republican as Vermont. A third Of the reye-
nue. Of Maine comes from the pockets Of the tourists
in summer time.
In Maine q man never changes his politics or his
religion.
II he is born a republican he dies q republican.
This regardless Of prosperity issues, drouths or
floods or crop shortage. In a very little village in
Maine there Is a monument to soldiers who died to
save the Union" Let It go at that. This Is a free
country. 1t is the great American privilege for
man to vote as he sees fit, to worship God as he sees
fit and to go on his way from the cradle to the
grave master OF his own destiny and a savior OF his
own soul.
In Maine a democrat Is a hero. He follows the
flag Of Jefferson. Every two years he stands UP and
takes the count. Every two years he takes q licking
and smiles and he never knows when he is whipped
It doesn't cost a copper penny to be a democrat away
down here in Texas. 1t does away UP in the state
There are a vast number OF Texas democrats who
battle for the spoils Of office.
There is a difference.
In Maine the political trademark is the thing. In
many American commemorative the trademark is as
bogus as the mouthings OF a political demagogue when
the campaign is on. In Maine in the campaigning
this year the republican leaders pointed with pride
to the record OF the grand old party" That was all
that was needed. They scooped in the offices and
the spells that go with the offices.

u found its mark on Garry
Sloan's nose and the big director
staggered. And then he came on
like a giant fury. snarling. and In
a moment Rorimer went to the
pavement beneath q smashing blow,
with an agonized cry from Anne
Winter ringing in his ear as he
flel.
He scrambled up again, brushing
Anne aside as she sought to inter-
fere, but Sloan was too big for
him. The director was on him at
once, eyes blazing, swinging mighty
fists, and one OF them connected
solidly with Dams chin and the
lights went out.
When he opened his eyes again
Sloan was bending over him with q
worried look on his face. Blood
was flowing from his nose. II ran
down in q dark rivulet over his
mouth and chin. He said anxiously,
Are you al right, Rorimer?"
Dan nodded and managed a fee
bic smile. An anvil changed In his
head and Sloan was q hay vision
to him, kneeling there with one
arm around q girl who slumped be-
side him and shook with vI-.5nt
sobs. He could feel the mans other
hand beneath his neck, propping
him up.
Sloan's strained features relaxed
at the others smile. Sure you're
all right7" he repeated, and Dan
assured him he was. To prove II he
got up unaided and stood on his
feet.
I'm sorry. Rorimer." the director
said: sorry as hell. 7 went off my
nut" He turned his attention to
Anne then and pressed his mouth
to her a and told her not to
worry. ITS all right, Anne: every

now"
Things slowly became clear 10
Rorimer again. as though he we're
emerging from a fog. He put his
fingers against his Jaw and they
touched q tender spot where Sloan
had hit him and knocked him un-
conscious. and he suddenly felt
that never before in his life had he
been as ridiculous as this; for there
was Sloan Nth his arms around
the trembling Anne Winter-the
Lord only knew what had happened
TO Anne-and here he was rubbing
a sore chin after a bad licking. All
because he had stuck his nose into
somebody else's affairs.
He felt the spot gingerly again.
Lucky that his jaw hadn't been
broken for his pains. Just q biz
fool.
Sloan had been decent. too-very
decent-more so than he had a
right to expect. He ought 10 be
sftN. Dan went over TO him and he
said, I'm sorry-terriblv sorry. It
was my fault. the whole thing. I
made an awful sap OF myself"

him with a bloody grin. and he held
