GOV. FERGUSON OF TEXAS THINKS

AUSTIN. Tex. May 10.-Gov. James +.
Ferguson of Texas, on his return to

in which he declares that now is the

Gov Ferguson in his statement says:
''Snce we have started we may as
well finish the job. A temporary pro-
lection of the border will accomplish
nothing. If we catch and punish one
bandit horde another takes it's place
tomorrow. If ruler is put in power
today he is betrayed tomorrow. Loyalty
to any leader is lacking and patriotism
is unknown. The ruthless spilling of
American blood on American SOIL now
gives us justification. and it is now our
duty to do whatever is necessary to
permanently prevent a recurrence OF

Millions of starving people in Mexico

against hone that a ruler might arsie
to restore peace in Mexico. as one VINO
has viewed the Mexican people for Il
lifetime. and as one who has studled
their ways and customs: as one with
out bias and prejudice: as one who mas
indorsed and now indorses the poilcy
of the present administration: as one
who has measured his. word and now
mindful of the position here announced
and it's consequences, | have come re-
luctantly to the conclusion that ii is
now the solemn duty of the United
States to enter Mexico and assume con-

give to the Mexican people that sta
bility of government which they are
now unable and helpless to establish.
whether it takes ten or fifty years to
do it. To do less will be to snirk our
