RUSSIA OBSERVES
 QUIET MAY DAY
Confines Celebrations to Peaceful
 Demonstrations at Lenine'S Tomb

Fly The Associated Press. Moscow, May 1.-Bolshevist Russia today departed from its usual custom Of observing May Day with spectacn- lar plrades Of units from the red army and navy, confining its celebra- ton to peaceful demonstrations at the tcmb of Lcnine.
 The authorities having decided to allot two days 10 the celebration, to- MOTION will be given over 10 parades of the communistic Boy Scouts anu children of the working classes, who will take the oath Of allegiance to ihe revolutionary principles at Lenlne sbrine.
 Hundreds of thousands of workmen with their families and many govern mcnt employees marched from all parts of the city today bearing flaming banners and flags and eonverged upon the mausolaum in Red Square, form ing a spectacle hardly less impressive than that of the funeral of the pre- mier.
 Special platoons of miiiars police guarded the thoronchfares m order 10 insure unimpeded passage for inc huge columns of workmen and thelr families through the crowded streets. Ambulances were stationed Tn inc ccngested areas to render first ald 10 the injured. Groups of unarmed req troops joined the great civilian process sions. being under orders from the commandant of the Moscow garrison not 10 organize separate demonstra- tions.
 Speaches were made by War Minis ter Trotzky and others in which the xccialistic ideals and life work of Lenine were the principal themes, All the government buildings. shops and homes were profusely decorated with masses of crimson flags and stream CTS. while Red Square abounded with Illuminated banners, inscriptiNe legends, electric signs and portraits oi the revolutionary leaders.
 Directly behind Lenines placp hned wooden tomb appeared the huge red placard, "our Banner is Lenine Our weapon is Leninism. The aim o the world is revolution
 The battlemented walls Of th' Kremlin and the adjoining graves O John Feed and other revolutionar! figures were decorated with banner bearing inflammatory inscriptions.

WOMAN ELECTED
TEXAS GOVERNOR
FOR FIRST TINE

DALLAS, Texas, Nov. 5.-(By the
Associated Press) the first
time in history Texas elected a
woman, Mrs Miriam A. Ferguson,
governor, yesterday. Distinction of
having a woman chief executive Of
ficer may be shared with Wyoming
however, where Mrs. Nellie Ross
was a candidate for governor.
Both are Democrats and the hus
bands of both had been governors
of their respective states.
Mrs. Ferguson generally was call.
ell Ma by reason of her initials
Her opponent was DR.. George G.
Butte, Republican.
Mrs. Ferguson went through three
bitter campaigns, not from a desire
to hold office, but in an effort to
vindcate the Ferguson family name.
Her husband, James K. Ferguson
was impeached when governor anc
was unable to get his own name
on the ballots as a candidate. She
had to survive two primaries and
the final election to win.
Her opponents charged that if
Mrs. Ferguson were elected her
husband actually would be Governor.
The charge was denied vigorously.
During the most of the campaign
Mrs. Ferguson remained in Temple
caring for her home and doing her
accustomed household work She is
the mother of two daughters, one of
whom is married and lives in Aus
tin. She has one grandson Her
neighbors wildly acclaimed her cleo
ton last night, escorting her from
a newspaper office to her home.
The only exception to the Demo
cratic victory was in the fourteenth
congressional district, where Harry
WurZbach, Republican, was re-
elected.
United State Senator Morris Shep.
pard was reelected by a good ma.
jority.
The race between Mrs Ferguson
and DIR. Butte was the closest Of
any between a Republican and Dem
ocrat for governor for many years
in the state.
The final tabulation gave: Mrs
Ferguson 140,824; DR.. Butte, 104-
6S3 Although the tabulating agen-
,;ies announced Mrs. Ferguson a VIC
tor, DR. Butte refused to concede de-
feat on those figures, which was esti-
mate at about half the total cast. He
declared many ballots had been
thrown ont illegually and that he
would take the lead when these were
counted.
For presiden. Davis received 1922
018; Coolidge 80, 873, and La Toilette
7,442.
