FILES HIS
NAME AS CANDIDATE
FOR TEXAS EXECUTIVE

Temple, Texas, May 3.-Whatever
doubts, if any, have existed in the
minds of those opposed to his po-
litical aspirations that former Gov.
James E. Ferguson would Withdraw
IN favor of some other candidate be
lore the primaries was dissipated
yesterday when the former state ex-
ecutive issued statement through
his weekly newspaper the Forum,
announcing that he had filed appli-
cation for his name to be placed
upon the official ballot as candi-
date for governor.
In his announcement Ferguson
says that it is thirty days before the
expiration of the legal date on which
he could legally file an application,
but inasmuch as false statements
were being circulated predicting his
withdrawal and that politicians who
want to see him defeated were
threatening injunction proceedings
to keep his name off the ballot he
had filed his application with the
state chairman, V. l.. Shurtleff, 80
days in advance.
He invites any of the opposition
who are contemplating securing an
injunction to do their worst now
and not wait until the last moment
when the courts will not have the
opportunity to pass on the merits of
the case"
