THE MAN BEHIND
THE NEW GOVERNOR
Jake WOlters Says Ferguson Is Going
To Give the state Good Business
Administration.


To Give the state n Good Business
Administration.
Col. Jake VOTERS, Of Houston. is con-
coded TO be the big chief Of the Fer
gusOn tribe after having put over the
successful candidate for governor. Col
VOTERS was in FL Paso as a member Of
governor Colquitt's stan during the
statehood celebration and It is a safe
political prediction that he can have
the same position, gold braid and all;
or any other job there is loose. when
Ferguson becomes governor. But being
a lawyer and q successful one in Hous-
ton, he is not seeking political prefer
ment. which is the political way of say
ing that he is not hunting a job under
the next state administration.
Col VOTERS was the man behind Fer
gusOn, the man who landed him in the
upholstered chair at Austin. and he is
proud OF his handiWork. He thinks Fer
guson will make high grade governor
and that he will give the people Of
Texas the best he has in stock

The discovery of an amputated
leg and foot partly buried in Sc

visions of a probable murder. In
veStigation by Coroner McLane yes
terday afternoon, however, exploded
the theory
The anputated member was dis
covered by an urchin prowling about
the cemetery. Several of the toes
protruded above the freshly dug
grave. Alarmed at the gruesome
discovery. the boy ran home and
told his mother who i'll turn mott
fed Sheriff Keller An investiga-
ton which followed disclosed that
the member had been buried by
some unknown party without any
ceremonies. The indications point
to the illegal interment having been
made about two weeks ago. Paper

Copper may decline to its low

will keep going ahead and its plan
of development will be carried out

Mr.. Nickel has been with the

while the force was not large the
spirit OF the owners was buoyan,
and the little furry on was not
occasioning any alarm in the least

The Big Blue occasioned consid-
cradle comment among mining men
several months ago, being one of
the first coppers in the Constella-

opened up. and since that era the
belt is attracting heavy investments
for its good possibilities in both

PARTISANSHIP IS RE-
SERVED TO CANDIDATES
(From Wednesdays DaiIy.)

(trom wednesday Dally.)
Although practically every one OF
the fourteen judges of the Superior
Court bench in Arizona agreed that
the most ethical course to be fol-
lowed in seeking reelection should
be by announcing their candidacy
upon a non-partisan ticket, still it
has been determined that they will
run on the party tickets upon which
they were chosen last election. The
latter course was deemed expedi-
ent in view of rhe peculiar con-
struction of the election laws.
The judges of the different coun-
ties maintained in discussing the
topic that they we're placed in =
peculiar position while seeking re
election. particularly as the bench
was elevated to a position some
what out of politics. While seek
ing the office for the first time. par
tisanship politics was highly in or
der but once in Office. the jurist
was placed in an awkward posi-
ton were he to seek reelection.
There is always open the course
of entering the field for reelection
on non-partisan ticket before the
primaries or getting on the general
election ballot by petition. Both
ways are hampercd by obstacles.
Were a Judge to announce him
self for reelection on a non-parti-
san ticket. his adherent in voting
for him at the primaries would have
to call for a non-partisan ballot.
Hence. the voters desire 10 favor
his or her candidate for the bench
would forfeit the right to advocate
any other candidate for any other
office. \ demand on the election
officers for non-partisan ballot
would forfeit the right to vote for
candidates on the regular ticket OF
the party he or she belongs to.
The law permits petitions to DC
! filed after primary day. However,
after a close perusal OF tie condi-
lions in this measure, several local
candidates as well as the Superior
Court Judges determined the plan
was not feasible The law requires
that the petition he signed Ey those
voters who have not yet signed an
other petition The tremendous
number OF petitions already signed
would make it hard 'scraping' FOR
any aftcr-primary candidates to pro
cure signatures.
I As result OF these obstacles
/ the coming primary and general
elections will be ''straightway' al
/ fairs. In other words, all can i
dates will go to the primaries as
partisan candidates in the same old
way as OF yore.

could in no way account for this
peculiar circumstance. Also Smith
refused to talk.

cian that Smith was feigning in

Superintendent Bethune he rugged
up the plot. The two entered

But what is the matter with

ly.
Can't tell exactly. It's some
place in the head. Will have to cut
it open completely and probe for
it."
Smiths eyes simply bulged from
their sockets. His cheeks took on
a pallor bordering upon real, gen
uine white. For a second he wav-
cred. Then he sank in his chair.
A moment later the officials left.
The next morning, Smith greet
