W WILL RUN FOR GOVERNOR AGAIN IN TEXAS ‘Pa’ Ferguson Is Barred, But He Thinks Wife Can Regain Post. Bv Time * Special AUSTIN. Tex.. May 26.—James E. Ftrguson has tied himself to his life's apron strings, as he had doi.e once before, and made ready to have her take his place as a Democratic

candidate for Governor of Texas. “Pa" can not run for Governor himself. The Texas supreme court decided that when it declared invalid the amnesty law which restored his right to hold office. So his wife, Meriam Amanda, better known os “Ma,” is going to make a valiant effort to put the

Ferguson family back in the gubernatorial mansion—the same house in which Ma made jellies and canned fruit while she was Governor back in 1924. Pa announced his gubernatorial candidacy on the Democratic ticket earlier this year. When the supreme court announced the decision which made his candidacy impossible, he came right back with the declaration that if he couldn't run hfcf wife could. “Ma will announce her platform ir. a few days," he said. Impeached in Second Term Farmer Jim Ferguson left the farm in 1914 to run for Governor. He caused no great stir in Texas poltics during his first term, but the state was thrown into an uproar when he was impeached during his second term for alleged misconduct in office. Pa was not to be denied a hand in gubernatorial affairs, however, so he brought Ma up from the farm in 1924 and had her elected Governor after stumping the state in her behalf. Sensational charges of graft swirled around the Fergusons’ heads while Ma held office. She was the first woman in the United States to occupy the Governor's chair, and she set her own precedents. Well established in the background, though not very well concealed, was Farmer Jim. Enemies of the Ferguson family complained that the impeachment of Pa had been fruitless because he was “running the office himself while Ma canned vegetables" in the kitchen of the Governor's mansion. Moody Fight Revived Probing legislative committees made Mrs. Ferguson’s administration a nightmare. Charges were made that the Fergusons accepted gifts of cash in return for pardons. Young Dan Moody, her attorneygeneral, now Governor, uncovered alleged irregularities in the letting of contracts. Governor Moody has made no official announcement regarding his nlans for the coming campaign, but it generally is believed he will run for a third term as chief executive. If so, the Moody-Ferguson fight will be on again. TRACTION HEARING SET Company Asks to Abandon Branch From Marion to Wabash.
