Being interviewed upon the guber-
natorial race. Hon. Rudolph Kleberg
responded as folloys:
“I have been out of active politics
for some tiine, but I am always ready
as a citizen and democrat to give my
views on public mn and measures.
"I shall support and vo for Gov-
ernor T. M. Campbell. His administra-
tion has been a clean and vigorous one.
He has beep tried and has made gooa.
Why should the party" violate prece-
dent and not re-elect •him for a ec-
ond term? .Ise no good reason why
thin should be done. He has simply
carried out platform demands and if
any one is responsible it is the demo-
cratic party and-not he. Upon the
whole, hqwever, I am of the opinion
that the Thirtieth legislature and this
administration has enacted wholesome
legislation, although some of it may
be crude. ’’

posed to render their property at full
value have borne the brunt “of the
taxes, while the large bulk of taxable
properties has escaped jut taxation, A
full rendition tew is not only just; but
conducive to lower taxes. This is what
has been demanded for many years
and has grown into a party demand.
Why then condemn our public servants
for carrying out this demand? Can
we as democrats consistently do so?
Or Is it .wise to support a candidate
for governor who i untried in the pub-
lic service and of whose policies wet
are practically in the dark?' .
. “It. Is not a question of personal pre-
dilection. but one of stern public duty
which confronts us, ano we can not
afford, If regardful of the public weal,
as citizens to fritter away our fran-
chise on an 'experiment, much less act
in a spirit of spite or caprice.
"I trust that all good democrats may
look at the situation in this light and
not be misled into building up a faction
within the democratic party of Texas
which may prove to be the Trojan war
horse that hi to wreck the party and
good government in our .tate.”

/ The Whitewright Telephone com-
pany has written the railroad com-
mission a letter asking for a ruling
concerning this anti-pas^ law. The
company advises the commission that
the city council of Whitewright has
extended its franchise for a period of
five years from 1906 and among, the
conditions of such extension, the com-
pany was to furnish the city with
free telephone service. The company
wants to know whether or pot such
free service under the circumstances,
is a violatiph of the antl-pass law.
Judge Storey, the only member of the
Commission who is here,at the present
writing, said that he did not believe
that sush free service by the tele-
phonecompany was in violation of the
amt-ass law, a the lap does not
contemplate the invasion of pre-exist-
ing contracts, and as the contract be-
tween the telephone company and the
Whitewright council was made prior
to the taking effect of the antj-pass
law, it I* not believed that; such con-
tract is in any way impaired. ’The
matter, however, will likely be pre-
