sonal friends here this evening Hon leorgo
T Jester made the detlnlto suttment that
ho will be a candidate for governor next
year It has been thought by observant
ones for some timo that Mr Jester would
to In tho field but until todav ho liaa not
directly authorized tho statement to be
made While ho did not say so It Is
thought that this early announcement hua
Wen precipitated by a report which
galnd sorao currency to the effect that It
was his Intention to decline the Invitation
of his numerous friends In order to aid
another gentleman Mid to bo In tho raco
Mr Jfstir la ery popular both
t per-
sonally and ai presiding officer of tho
Slao scuate and to far as expressions go

Ho is serving his neond term as lieuten-
ant ovcrnor having

a member of the lower house and of tho

excellent personal record aa a cltljen and
successful man of affairs and has friends

Austin Texas March 6Senator Dlbrell
offered tho following reasons today for
having voted against senate bill 100 yester-
day i
iMr
Mr President I desire to embody In the
journal my reasons for toting against son
to bill No 100 appropriating lo the Unl
vonlty of Texa the unused balance of It
liven to tbe Stat ot Tnu by con
Vn T > 1 > N V f
Tvaa for tbe payment ot direct taxes
amounting to trOOoo It ts my orlnlon the
University of Texan has been rtchb ma
amply endowed with funds which If util
ised upon buslnea principles would fur
ntih an available fund from which the uni-
versity would be maintained and additional
buildings erected As long at the legisla-
ture of Texas In violation ot the plain
letter aod spirit ot our Stato coaetltutlon
will contribute out of tho general revenue
tor the maintenance ot our unlvrrslt and
make donations of property for Us avail
able fund there will tro no Incentive to
make the permanent university fund > lcld
the full fruit ot It munificent rapacity
Time as tvell as means and brains Is an
eweeotlal element la building up a greU
untverslty of learning No university In
this country haa ever be v hurriedly built
up The Impatience manifested by those
directly Interested In building up our uni-
versity dos aot In my Judgment forebode
ultimate good to our great seal of learning
It Is being rapidly drawn into politics
which If not checked by > hcr rational
thought will mark the beginning of Its
ruin Its endowment Is is princely as that
of most great seats of learning ot Amer-
ica and only needs the Incentive of neces-
sity to drive out of the brain of the dema-
gogue the unrestonable ant foolish re-
striction placed upon tho sale of the Hnds
belonging to Its available and permanent
fundi Oct rid of tho sentlmeutilitj of the
actual settler nith and tho limit of tho
quantltv that n j be sold to anv one pur-
chaser place ho price at Its actual value
and within a very hort time the manngers
can build tbe desired wing to the univer-
sity by a legal appropriation and make iti
flight as dauntless as the eagles
The purport of thlt till Is to give to the
available university fund J70 000 of tho
States money lo build an adlltlonal alng
In the face of this proposition wn havo tbe
following constitutional provision sec 11
arU Tl
It l < hereby declared that all lands
ant other property heretofore set apart
and appropriated for the establishment and
maintenance of the I Diversity of Texas to-
gether with all the proceeds of sales of
the same heretoforo made or hereafter to
be nude and all grants donations and ap
propriations that may hereafer bo raailo
bv the State of Texas or from an > other
source shall constitute and become a per-
manent university fund
Can language be plainer It takes no
trained legal mind to construe this pro
vi ion Contrary to this provision of our
constitution the senate proposes to donate
give and appropriate JTOPOO of tho States
money to tho available fund of the univer-
sity for building purposes 1 can not ac
cede to this violation of our organic law as
I understand it I therefore vote no
