TO ADVERTISERS.
The News will tako advertising
with tho understanding that if it has
not a larger lecal circulation than any
daily paper published in Waoo no
charge will bo mado for the advertise-
ment THEN AND NOW.
In 1S90 The News was for Hogg
and an appoiotivo commission. In
1802 it is for Clark and an elcctivo
commission Vhen tho fight waB on
in lS9d and tho opponents of Mr.
Hogg declared that he would if elect-
od and tho commission amendment
was adopted be satisfied with nothing
short of a plenary commission de-
signed to control absolutoly all tho
railioad property in Texas without
iviog the owners an equal
chanco with other property owners
in tho courts of tho country.
The News defended Mr. Hogg and
in its oolumns appeared editorial after
editorial denying that it was the de-
sire ot Mr. Hogg or his friends to take
the railroads out oi the reach of the
courts denying that a plonary com-
mission was thought of certainly not
contemplated most assuredly not de-
sired. Mr. Hogs; was elected and the
amendment was adopted. Before a
week after tho legislature met at
Austin thoso who supported Hogg on
principle and believed ho
was a safe leador and
a conscionoious Democrat began to
observe signs of tho very weakness
his opponents charged him with viz:
A willingness to utterly disregard
Domooratio principles if he thought
by bo doing he conld perpetuate his
offioial power. He dominated tho
majority of the legislature to suoh an
oxtent that in framing the first com-
mission bill it was actually proposed
to out the railroads oil entirely from
the courts. This proposition mot
with suoh a storm of indignant oppo-
sition" from the truo and tried Demo-
crats in both houses that it was appar-
ently abandonod but tho provision
madefor legal redressjunder the present
commission law is almost equivalent
to a bar from tho oourts. This is
count No. 1 against Mr. Hogg.
The commissioners were appointed
and they went to work without any
knowlodgo whatever of tho businoss
and the result is that almost tho en-
tire lumbor region of East Texas ia
prostrated because the rates on lumber
as fixed by tho commission would
not permit tho lumber manufactures
to competo with those outsido of the
state. Tho next move that demon-
strates tho plemary character of tho
present oommission waB tho visit of
Commissionter Foster to the cattle-
men's convention and the arbitrary re.
duotion of freight rates nearly 50 per
oont without giving any notice what-
ever to the railroads. The next movo
in tho samo direction was tho exemp-
tion by tho oommission from all oom-
mission tariffs for a period of threo
years a proposed railroad from Sey-
mour west to tho Rio Grande This
is sufficient to demonstrate that the
commission is not only possessed with
absolute powers but it does not hesi-
tato to uso them. Govornor Hogg
demanded that they be given this
power and is thcreforo responsible for
it. This is count No. 2
When it was urged that the peo-
plo should elect tho commissioners
Gov. Hogg objected and the legislature
was given to understand that ho would
veto any "bill that did not givo tho
appointing power to the govornor.
Tin: News did not ondorso tho bull-
dozing racket but boliovod the com-
missioners should be made appointivo
and so stated at the timo. Governor
Hogg's enemies urged that tho gov-
ornor would uso it as a political mu-
chino and The News dofondod him
again. Tho very first turn out of the
box the governor showed his hand
and The News thon quit tho defend-
ing business. Tho appointment of
John II. lloagan so as to create a
vacancy and then tho appointment of
Horaco Chilton on purely persona'
grounds was a shameful disregard of
the rights of tho people. The most
flagrant political movo on tho part of
tho commission however was the
visit of Mr. Foster to Fort Worth and
tho agreementjie mado with the com-
mittee on resolutions of tho cattlomen's
convention to cut tho shipping rates
oo per oont. provided tho oommittoo
would not report a resolution endors-
ing Hon. George Clark for govornor.
This was followed by tho exemption
of the Wichita Valley railroad from
Soymour west evidently dono to win
the peoplo along the lino to Hogg as
the action of the commission was in
response to a petition from a country
almost unanimously for Clark. This
is eount No. 3. The News has many
objections to Governor Hogg and it
would be impossiblo to enumerate
them all in one edition. Tho forego-
ing three counts wo have charged up
against him as tins committed just as
his enemies said would bo oommittod
and as his friends said wouldn't.
He mistook tho clamor of sooialism
for tho voice of democracy and in
pandering to a misguided sentiment
ho has brought reproaoh upon tho
name of the banner Demooratio state
of tho union Tho Democratic party
of Texas oannot afford to re-elect
Governor Hogg.
SOME CUPPINGS.
The Brenham Banner says :
"Hon. R. Q. Mills has consented
to address the people of Abilene on
the political issues of the day some
time during the canvass. Dollars to
doughnuts that he will support Clark
and true Democracy."
Of course he will. Mills has never
failed to come out boldly for what
he believes to be right.
The Cleburno Chronicle does not
believe it was a part of the duty of
the members of the legislature to foist
Hogg upon the people of Texas for a
second term. It says :
"Texas has witnessed tho most
barefaced impudence in the action of
the legislature in organizing as a cam-
paign committee to boom Hogg for
reelection. These incompetents were
elected to make laws and are paid for
their services; yet they take advantage
of tho positions conferred on them by
the people and disgust all fair-minded
men by emulating ward heelers in-
stead of doing their duty. They are a
disgrace to Texas."
The bloody shirt addresses eminat-
ing from the Hogg conference called
by tho Hogg house will be a bar to
the return of every one of thoso 65
members to Austin next year.
The Temple Times wants Hogg
elected on Clark's platform It says :
"Give us Hogg for governor with a
reasonable or no alien land law with
a just railroad commission and Texas
will at the end of two years bo on a
real genuine boom."
Wo have tried Hogg two years and
he is responsible for an unreasonable
alien land law and an unjust railroad
commission. He has condescended
to allow us a reasonable alien land
law but will soon go on the stump to
defend the unjust commission law his
legislature gave us. There is no sort
of.platform that will bring back confi-
dence in Texas with Hogg as govern-
or. If the Times really desires to see
Texas boom it should help us elect
Clark.

To theReaders of THE NEWS:
LadIKS AN'n GeNtlKmEn We wish to address yon through
the medium of this paper on questions of business. It has become
the custom for people who have goods to sell to advertise their wares
and use so much hyperbole and exagcration in the advertisements
that the people no longer believe the full tenor of the words adver-
tised and when a really good offer is made they arc slow to take
advantage.
