DALLAS. Aug. 25.-Felix D. Rob
ertson of Dallas, Khan candidate. has
conceded defeat by Mrs. Miriam Fer
guson of Temple for the Democratic
gubernatorial nomination upon the
basis Of partial returns from Satur-
days run-off primary.
Returns from 230 counties out o.
the States 252, including sixty-seven
complete, gave Mrs. Ferguson a lead
Of nearly $4,000 votes over the Khan
candidate, according to tabulation
made by the Texas election bureau.
Mrs. Ferguson's vote, according
10 the latest tabulation. was 100000
and Robertson 324,297. Texas cleo
ton bureau officials today predicted
a total vote of $4,000 when all votes
are in. Available returns have al
ready surpassed the States record
ballot Of approximately 702 900, set
IN the initial primary July 26.
Judge Robertson sent Mrs. Fergu-
son a message Of congratulation up
on her nomination Sunday and later
in the day issued a statement here
IN which he declared: Il will abide
by the dictates of the people
In a statement issued from her
home at Temple, Mrs. Ferguson
said:
THE verdict Saturday tells palmer
than words what the people think
of. the K. K. X, after they have had
an opportunity TO observe its work
ings and purposes. Texas people
know more about what the Khan
means than any other State. and as
soon as other States have time to
learn the real purposes of the Khan,
they will do as Texas did Saturday
and repudiate It in terms unmistak-
able"
Judge Robertson, defeated by Mrs.
Ferguson, declared in a brief state
ment TO the United Press that he
''bore no malice
I'm searching for the cause Of my
defeat in Saturdays primary. I am
met with the irresistible conclusion
that I failed TO get enough votes"
he said.
Il fought the best fight I could
and have preserved my self-respect,
which is essential TO my future"
