If elected she prom ised to give the state, with the advice and counsel of her husband and friends, an “efficient administration.’* Many opponents in her own party charged that if elected, James E. Fer guson would in reality be the gover. nor of Texas, which they said would defeat the will of the'legislature that in 1917. during his second term, im peached him for alleged “misapplica. tion of public funds.” The state sen ate at that time inserted a provision disqualifying him from holding any slate office. The anti-Ferguson group went to court for a ruling on the constitution ality of a woman holding the giver nor’s chair which they argued was in contravention of the state’s law. Th* trial court upheld counsel for Mrs. Ferguson. The decision was taken to the state supreme court. Mrs. Ferguson ran second to Julge Felix M. Robertson, a Democrat, one of seven other candidates in the first nrimary. The Texas law provides that where a candidate doe3 not receive a majority of all votes cast, the two highest shall participate in a run-off nrimary. Mrs. Ferguson said that it “scared” her to make a speech so she made no campaign addresses during her race. She appeared on the plat form with her husband several times and introduced him as “’the speaker of my house.” She frequently stressed the fact that she was the wife of the impeach ed governor, a fact which denied him the privilege of placing his name on a Democratic ticket for any state office. > Mrs. Ferguson received 146,777 votes in the first primary and Judg, Robertson got 192,692. In the final, Mrs. Ferguson led Robertson by ap proximately 100,000 votes. The Ku Klux klan became a bitter issue. The Fergusons denounced it and devoted many of their important speeches against it. Mrs. Ferguson is t member of the Episcopal church and her husband frequently attends the Christian church. ! This Democratic woman’s opponent m the election was Dr. George C. Butte, a Republican, who claimed that he would receive many of the Demo cratic votes lost because of the dissen tion over the FergusoA issue. The normal Republican vote in Texas is about 100,000 compared with more hen 500,000 Democratic. Sirs. Ferguson is a native of Tex as born and reared on a farm in Bell county, which she now owns. Her dal ly routine before she was nominated was not much unlike that of the wife of any merchant or banker in a town the size of Temple, which has about 15,000 inhabitants, except that she never aspired to be a social leader. She believed her nomination was a vindication of her husband’s name and record, as well as a victory for the is sue she championed. In her announcement for the office of governor, Mrs. Ferguson frankly declared that she had no great desire to hpld office, that she did not under stand the intricacies of politics or leg islation, and that she had seldom ex ercised her right to vote. Her neighbors declared, however, that she could prepare a sumptuous dinner with her own hands, if she cared to, and that as a chauffeur she was so good her husband had never learned to drive. Mr. Ferguson was the son of a Methodist preacher and farmer. As a boy he worked on the farm and went to the far west in his ’teens-—where he worked at many things, as a bell boy in a hotel, a miner and Jack at all trades. He soon returned and work ed as a bridge carpenter on a railroad. Later he studied law and was admit ted to the bar. He enjoyed a success ful practice, accumulated a small for tune and moved to Temple and found ed the Temple State bank. Educational Rally Billed For Casar There will be an educational rally at Casar Methodist church next Tues day night, November 18th, beginning at 7 o’clock for the purpose of com pleting plans for the proposed consol idation of Casar, together with New ton’s Grove, McNeely, Pruett, a part, of Philbecks, Pleasant Hill, a part of Richards and White school districts. Patrons of these districts are urged to be present at this meeting to dis cuss in detail this proposed consolida tion. If everything works favorably a pe tition will be submitted and present ed to the county board of education at their regular meeting the first Mon day in December, asking for an elec tion in the proDosgd consolidated dis tricts. If the election is ordered and carries, an eight or ten room brick building will be erected and ready for occupancy by the opening of the fall term next year. The proposed school is to be a state high school which means that the patrons will have a state four year accredited high school. This meeting is called, by order of J. C. Newton, county superintendent, who will be present at the Casar meeting next Tuesday night.
