MA FERGUSON GOVERNOR

For the first time in the history of
Texas woman, Mrs. Marian A. Fer
guson. was elected governor Nov. 4
Distinction OF having a woman chief
executive may be shared with Wyom-
ing. however, where Mrs. Nellie Ross
was q candidate for governor.
Both are Democrats and the hus-
bands OF both have been governors of
their respective states Mrs Ferguson
generally was called "Ma" by reason
OF her initials. Her opponent was Or.
George c. Butte. Republican.
Mrs. Ferguson went through three
bitter campaigns, not from q desire 10
hold office. but In an effort to vindi-
ate the Ferguson family name. Her
husband, James E. Ferguson. was Inn
peached when governor and was I'M
able to get his own name on the bal
lots as a candidate. She had to sur.
vive two primaries and the final cleo
ton to win.
Their opponents charged that X Mrs.
Ferguson was elected. her husband
would actually be governor. The
charge was vigorously denied BY both
During most Of the campaign Mira
Ferguson remained ln Temple caring
for her home and doing her accus-
toned homework. She is the mother
Of two daughters. one Of whom u mar
riea and lives IN Austin.
