J L'DOE
and the
Clark and his followers
"Jeffersonian Democrats"
are perfectly agreed upon at least one
plank in their platforms, viz: They
both demand the right to elect their
officers.
It seems there was a studied effort
by the legislature to get all of its
neighbors cut off from Erath county.
The main purpose is apparent to
only a few but that few can defeat
the purpose.
Col. Jack Straugiian of Palo
¡Pinto is mighty good timber for con-
gress in the jumbo district. He is
capable, honest and grows in popu-
larity whenever and wherever he
meets the masses.
Modesty in a legislature is rare
but it wins in the long run.
Even in its dying throes the last
legislature strove after more pater-
nalism.
Of course the democracy will ad-
mit the negroes and accord them
every political right.
It is an accepted fact among trav-
elers, who always have to pay, that
the best hotels are advertised.
Hon. M. M. Crane of Johnson
county is banking his whole political
future upon the perpetuation of
Hogg's administration. The Hon.
M. M. Crane's political future
draweth nigh unto its close.
Why impoverish his family in or-
der to punish a criminal after his
labor has paid the expense of his con-
viction?
Clabk grows stronger with every
sun that comes and goes. The peo-
ple have resolved to "turn Texas
loose and let her grow."
No odds whom the "Jeffersonian
, flfmfr^ts" nominate .and elect gov-
ernor he certainly can nc7tbelPwofS^
curse than Hogg haB been.
When you hear a man talking
about the railroads running George
Clark put h}m down as either a fool
or a knave; he is one or the other.
Talk about the "kid democracy!
of national issues; (Weatherford is
not boasting of its "flrstness" in this
particular instance) it was in Weath-
erford that the presiding officer of
the foregoing "first convention" was
not a member of the convention;
(there's no boasting about this either)
and last, it was in Weatherford
that the first colored democratic
club in this state was organized.
This occurred Saturday night and G.
Dowson was elected chairman and E.
Alexander secretary. They pledged
the candidates and the principles of
the democratic party, recognizing in
them their truest friends. They
passed resolutions denouncing the
"lilly white" republicans for going
back on them and requested all the
colored people in Parker county to
join their club. The club will ask
for its members admission to demo-
cratic primaries.
It is conceded that Hogg has a
strong hold upon tfle party machine
but when you consider the smalfess
of the administration ring, inefficien-
cy of the machine becomes apparent
to the intelligent observer.
The third party, peoples' party
and Jeffersonian democrats must have
had a good deal to do with the repre-
sentative and senatorial apportion-
ment of this section. It could not
have been fixed better for them.
Every intelligent observer of the
political trend in Texas must admit
that the day is past when any one
man is enthroned as a leader in the
hearts of his country. The masses
are distrustful and at sea without
any special pilot.
Robinson "of Meridian will be a
Clark delegates have captured the
county convention to select delegates
to the state national convention at
Lampassas The Hogg men besought
the Clark men not to make their two
candidates and issue, but in the
meantime had brought the governor
to Dallas to make a speech on the
night of the 21st, before holding the
primaries, when he was billed to
speak at Dallas -the. 27th .after the
primaries. This manuvering put the
Clark men on their guard and mind-
ful of the trick played on them in the
Parker county convention, refused
the request and went to work for
strictly Clark delegates. The result
was every ward in the city sent Clark
delegates except one and every pre-
cinct in the county also sent Clark
delegates except three, two of which
sent delegates uninstructed.
Sinc e the pebple's party has organ-
ized to run its own ticket, it will be
interesting to guess the result. Get
