juli zs, iyau ***" . , _ _ ___ T MA FERGUSON POLLS HIGH VOTE FOR TEXAS GOVERNOR

CAPITALIST TO OPPOSE HER IN NEXTPRIMARY Winner of Runoff Event on Aug. 26 Considered Sure Victor in Fall. SHEPPARD MARGIN WIDE Dry Senator Gets Three Times as Many Ballots as Wet. BY EARL B. STEEL United Pru* Staff UorreiDondent DALLAS. July 28.—A matronly stoman who turn to the housewifely tasks of canning preserves during political doldrums and a j multi-millionaire newspaper pub- j lisher and oil man will lay their j policies of government before Texas j Democrats in the run-off primary race Aug. 26 for the gubernatorial nomination. The outcome of that contest, ■ which promises to run the whole j scale in contrasts, is regarded as virtual determination of the state s next chief executive. | Miriam A. (Ma) Ferguson, whose ( political fortunes have soared and fallen and soared again, and Ross Sterling emerged successful from Saturday's primary' in which eleven candidates were entered. Ma Has Big lead If Mrs. Ferguson, referred to by thousands of Texans as * Ma. defeats Sterling, it will send her to the state's executive mansion for a fourt.i time. Twice she has gone there as tnc wife of “Farmer Jim - ' Ferguson, her husband, who served a term and a half and was impeached, and once as Governor in her own right. Returns gave Mrs. Ferguson a lead over Sterling of more than 65.000 votes. The campaign of the two primary victors will offer anew clash between capital and labor. Mrs. Ferguson calls herself the. “dirt farmer’’ candidate. Sheppard Is Victor Sterling rose to prominence in; the state through his success as; publisher of the Houston Post, and : his accumulation of a fortune j through oil and real estate. His political career opened when he was j appointed highway commissioner by Governor Dan Moody w'ho did not seek renomination. His strength is regarded as being largely in metropolitan areas and among men of business, while “Ma" Ferguson centers her appeal among the rural j population. United States Senator Morris Sheppard, Texarkana, seeking a fourth term, won from R. Henry, Houston, wet opponent, getting three times as many votes as Henry. All but one of the state's congress- j men had safe leads. The losing candidate was John C. Box of the Second district, who was far behind Martin Dies Jr., Orange, Tex. "Farmer Jim” Ferguson, who took the stump for his wife, has publicly announced he will be Mrs. Ferguson's chief adviser if she is elected. Governor Dan Moody who. after tlie entry of Ross Sterling. lV highway commission chairman, refused to comment on the race, announced he would take the stump against "Fergusonism." Moody Against Fergusons "I am for any one who runs against the Fergusons,” he said. “My prediction is that the state will not again be ashamed at home and ridiculed abroad by the shameful and ridiculous spectacle of proxy government.” The Fergusons latest victory aligns both ma and pa against one of the most colorful figures in the Texas business. Thirty-five years ago Ross Sterling, at the age of 20. operated a freight boat on the Gulf of Mexico, plying from Anahuac to Galveston. He acquired a chain of three grocery stores, became head of a country bank and then part holder in two producing oil wells. His fortune now is estimated at $30,000,000. Road Bonds Big Issue Sterling's leading plank is proposed enactment of a $350,000 statewide road bond issue. He also has presented plans for prison and tax reform and agricultural marketing. The Ferguson’s record shows a tireless fight against the "landlord.” In this campaign, they have promised a business-like administration, reduction of the gasoline tax and a levy on factory-made cigars and cigarets.

RESENT SCHOOL BOARD'S ACTION Stoker Firm Head Charges Unjust Treatment. “The Fire-King Ftoker Company feels that it is not receiving any consideration as a local manufacturer employing Indianapolis labor,” said F. R. Kimmel, vice-president of the company today in a statement answering explanation of A. B. Good, city school's business director, as to the school board’s purchase of Brownell stokers on second lowest bid. The Fire-King Company was lowbidder on stoker equipment for j School 49. Award of the contract ' to the Brownell company caused Philip Zoercher, state tax board j member, last week to send a letter | of criticism to the school board. 1 Taking exception to Good's explaj nations, Kimmel's statement de- | dared the Fire-King stokers are i factory equipped with motor inI closures and ash pans; that the | three-speed coal feed has a neutral; ithat the automatic air control is not used on Fire-Kings because it has not proven satisfactory, and that the Brownell stoker’s maximum coal feed is 750 pounds an hour and not 1,000. as Good claimed, as compared with the 825-maximum of the Fire-King. Complaining of the board’s action, Kimmel’s statement concluded: “This kind of treatment is likewise unfair to this company, its stockholders and associated companies j who pay taxes on several million j dollars’ worth of real estate annually from which the school city receives its proportion of taxes.” RED INQUIRY ASSAILED i Soviet Press Ridicules Activities of Fish Committee. 1 R ii Vnitrd Press MOSCOW, July 28 —The congressional committee headed by Rep- | resentative Hamilton Fish Jr. <N. Y.i, which is conducting an inquiry into Communist party activities in the United States, was the subject of criticism and ridicule by the Moscow press Sunday. Editorials and cartoons denounced the intelligence of the committee’s members, and denied accusations made before it against the Amtorg Trading Company, the Soviet government’s commercial agency in the United States. The newspapers especially were severe in objecting to what they termed “the third degree” methods of questioning Peter Bogdano, head |of the Amtorg.

ACCIDENT OF SCIENCE TO HELP TAME DESERT Instrument Is Devised to Warn of Approaching Sand Storms. Bu Vnitrd Press PARIS, July 28.—8 y an accident, three French scientists have discovered a means of regulating the des- | ert. A delicate atmoradiograph, the fruit of their subsequent experiments, henceforth will warn of approaching sandstorms in ample time for troops and travelers to seek shelter. Surveying the insect menace in | Africa by means of a scientific outpost at the oasis of El Golea, the Frenchman, Jean Lugeon, with two associates, erected an atmoradiograph to observe movements of flying insect hordes through the desert air. On July 12, Lugeon detected a peculiar noise through the telephone apparatus connected with the atmoradiograph. It was like the steady rat-a-tat-tat of a machine gun. He recognized at once he was hearing j something other than insects. In- ! vestigation revealed that a sandi storm was rising. | The three explorers were able to produce an improved atmoradiograph, designed expressly for the detection of approaching sandstorms. TRIES SUICIDE TWICE For the second time within three weeks Leonard Silcox, 142 South Liberty street, took poison at his home Sunday afternoon. His condition at city hospital is critical.

SHIFT IN VIEW OF SOUTH SEEN IN HARRIS RACE! Democrat Change Revealed in Platfrom Adopted by U. S. Senator. by RAY TUCKER Times Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, July 26.—A shift of southern Democrats’ attitude toward major national and international policies, including desertion of Woodrow Wilson’s League of Nations, is revealed today in publication in the congressional record of the platform of which Senator Harris, of Georgia will seek re-elec-tion in the September primary. The outline of chosen issues makes no mention of prohibition problems, passes by his support of A1 Smith for President in silence, denounces Mrs. Ruth McCormick's campaign expenditures, advocates American adherence to the world court with drastic reservations, declares for white supremacy, looks forward to even more restricted immigration laws and assails the so-called “Grundy tariff’ as the “most iniquitous measure in history.” The document is considered significant because Harris has demonstrated his appitude for sounding and following political sentiment in his state and in the south. Moreover, he has an especially strong opponent in former Governor John M. Slaton, who has been campaigning vigorously for the nomination. Raps “Seat Buying’* Harris is believed to be the first member of the senate to raise his voice publicly against Mrs. McCormick’s expenditures in her successful contest for the Republican senatorial nomination in Illinois. “The greatest menace to this form of government is the election of senators and representatives through the use of money,” the statement said. “The senate should not be a millionaires’ club.” j A great admirer of Wilson and an original supporter of the league, Harris has changed his stand, the platform says, because our World war allies since have “revealed their true attitude toward this country with reference to the settlement of war debts, and the league has not been conducted on such a plane and in such a manner as to accomplish the high objects and purposes of Woodrow Wilson.” Ignores Dry Efforts “Under all conditions existing today,” the document continues, “Senator Harris does not favor and would not vote for this country to enter the League of Nations, and some other southern senators now share his view's.” The Georgia senator recalls his unsuccessful effort to cut off all immigration for five years, his proposal to halve the present world quota and his bill to reduce Mexican immigrants to 1,500 a year. Equally significant is the senator’s falure to mention the part he has played in the drys’ demand for larger prohibition appropriations and more effective enforcement.

U, S. TARIFF BIG ISSUE AS CANADAVOTES Conservatives Seek to Wrest Power From Liberals, in Office 9 Years. Bu Vnitrd rrrss MONTREAL. Quebec, July 28. Canadian voters balloted today on the question of allowing the nine-year-old Liberal government of Prime Minister Mackenzie King to continue in power, or turning the government over to the Conservatives. headed by R. B. Bennett. Foremost among the policies to be decided by the voters’ choice is that of a tariff aimed to protect the dominion against competition by the United States. If the Conservatives win a majority of seats in the house of commons, as they claim they can, it is probable retaliatory measures will be taken against the Smoot-Hawley tariff bill. Prime Minister King, however, would continue his present policy of maintaining a low tariff regardless of the action of the United States. Other major issues are unemployment and the industrial situation, seen as depressed by the Conservatives. The Liberals hold the country has prospered under their regime. Conservatives charge the tariff was written to satisfy free trade opinion in western provinces, resulting in increased unemployment and the migration of the Canadians to the United States. The tariff also resulted in a decrease of articles manufactured in Canada, the Conservatives claim, causing loss to the country’s Industry. Both major parties are in favor of the St. Lawrence waterway project, despite the fact that Quebec, with 60 Liberal out of 65 members in the house of commons, opposes it.
