MORRIS MAKING
A GOOD RACE
Is Going to Give Ferguson
a Fight for Governorship
Texas Ticket.

Austin. Texas. July s.-To the sur
prise OF many peop1e. the candidacy Of
Charles H. Morris. OF Winnsboro. for
governor has attained the proportions
OF a real contest between him and gov
ernor Ferguson II is now apparent
that the prohibition vote of north Texas
will 90 almost soIidly for Morris and
that he will also receive the support
OF the other INSTRUMENTATION ele-
ments scattered over the state. It is
claimed by close political observers
that governor Ferguson's recent active
entry into the campaign and his at
tack upon former governor Thomas ".
Campbell and other Democrats OF
prominence has tended TO make votes
for Morris 1t is alleged by Ferguson
that Morris was induced by Campbell
TO enter the race against him for gov
ernor. Morris denies the charge The
possibility Of Mr.. Morris defeating
Mr.. Ferguson is believed TO be very
remote It is expected here that Nor
ris's total vote will be something in
the neiEhborhoOd OF 10000 while that
Of Mr.. Ferguson will be not less than
225.000. Of course. II the prohibition
vote Of the whole state should 90 SOL
idly for Morris, as his chief supporters
predict. but which is altogether i'm
probable. the defeat of governor Fer
