LOVE BITTERLY RAPS
n NEFF IN POLITICAL
SPEECH AT DALLAS
Says Pat NeH Has ''Lot Of
Things to Explain as
Governor of Texas.

Dallas. Tex. April 29.-"Pat Nesf
has lot of things TO explain as gov
ernor of Texas, and / am sorry he is
not here so that / can ask him about
them" Tom B. Love, Democratic ma
tional committeeman from Texas, de-
clared last night in his address in be-
half of William G.. McAdoo's candi-
dacy for the Democratic nomination
for President and which Governor
Neff declined to debate with him.
Governor Neff has charged in his
plea for an uninstructed delegation
from Texas that McAdoo has too
many things to explain" Mr.. Love
continued. THAT may be true because
any man who has done things in this
world, who has accomplished soms-
thing. is bound to be called TO task
by his enemies.
"Who had more explaining to do
than Pat Neff in the governors race
in 1920? No candidate in the history
Of Texas ever had more to explain than
he did. He had to explain among other
things, why he had been mis-stating
his age all his life.
"Neff had all these things To ex-
plain and I helped him explain them.
l did it as my duty to the Democratic
party. I'm not saying Neff is TO be
criticized for these things now but
| they had to be explained. I'm only
showing the foolishness of his state
ment about McAdoo."
Mr.. Love said that McAdoo's op-
position in Texas was being led by
two men, Governor Neff and James
e. Ferguson, and saying many friends
had expressed their surprise at "Neff
and Ferguson yoking up together
He charged that Governor Neff used
his influence to get Ferguson's name
on the ticket as candidate for SEN
ator last year and IF it hadn't been
for that influence it never would have
been on there"
Mr.. Love launched an attack on
the governors use of the states
money for travelling and telephone
expenses. He charged that records in
the comptroller's office show that the
state paid for telephone calls from
Governor Neff to various members of
the state Democratic executive COM
mittee, which Mr.. Love charged, the
governor made in lining up the dele
CATION to endorse him for President.
Mr.. Love devoted a great part of
his speech to enumerating the quail
fications of Mr.. McAdoo and his &C
complishments while secretary of the
treasury. He also launched an attack
on Ferguson but most of his remarks
about the former. governor were OF a
sarcastic nature.

evade detection. Soon after the Ari-
IONA had put out of New York on
March Is. she said. she ventured TO
the deck and later attended the movies.
While at the movies, she declared,
she sat by two other women-wives
