bunting waving. the giant liner Beren-

The last-minute change in his plans

He held. however. that the Kansas
law, which directs the grouping
of party electors with the names
of the presidential and vice presi-
Dental candidate above each group,
could not apply in this case, and
the La Toilette electors would be
grouped as independent" with any
other independent candidates. The

advised by some method other than

TEXAS CANDIDATES
BOTH SEE VICTORY
Voters to Decide Today Be.
tween Mrs. Ferguson and
Judge Robertson.
By the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
DALLAS, Tex, August 23.-Dem-
ocrats of Texas went to the polls to-
day to decide whether a woman or
a man shall receive the nomination
for their next governor. The woman
is Mrs. Miriam Ferguson of Temple,
and the man, Judge Felix w. Robert
son of Dallas.
The woman's husband, James E..
Ferguson, formerly was Governor Of
Texas, but was impeached and it is
to remove the stigma of a judgment
of impeachment that Mrs. Ferguson
entered politics. Had not Mr.. Fer
guson been impeached in his second
term as governor, his wife said she
would not have been in the present
race. She said she prayed for vindi-
cation, mot for revenge but for the
good of our children and their chill
dren who shall live after u.s.
Fights Against Khan.
Supporters of each have predicted
victory by from $4,000 to 100000
votes. Robertson has the support of
the Ku Klux Klan and Mrs. Fergu-
son is an anti-Klan and brought these
issues in the campaigns. Robertson
also declared prOnlDltlOn TO be an
important factor.
In addition to governor, candidates
for lieutenant governor, attorney
general, controller, railroad commits
sioner and chief justice. of the State
Supreme Court will be nominated.
Ten years ago James E. Ferguson
was elected governor. In his second
term he was charged before the State
Senate with so handling State funds
| as to derive personal profits from
them; that he refused to tell the
House where he obtained a loan of
$156,000 and thereby placed himself
in contempt Of the House; that he
sought removal of members of the
faculty of the University of Texas
after the faculty members had been
and had sought removal of the board
without cause. The charges were
sustained and he was ordered ousted.
Part of the judgment was that he
could not hold State Office again. A
number of charges against him were
not sustained.
Made Fight to Come Back.
Mr.. Ferguson declared his resigna-
| tion was on file before judgment was
| pronounced, and also that the judg-
| ment itself was illegal and not sus-
| tanned by the facts. He sought to
| come back in every campaign since
running for President on the Ameri-
can ticket in 1920 and for United
States Senator against Earle B. May

The signals are merely those

The operators who heard the

QUEER SIGNALS HEARD.
Norfolk Men Think They May

NORFOLK, Va, August 23.-Queer
radio signals were picked up here
yesterday. AS to whether they had
any connection with the visit of the

not venture an opinion.
Just before 1 o'clock and shortly
after Government sending stations
had broadcast orders to all naval re-

any possible Martian messages, B. A.
Mabry and B. G. Cowan, in charge
of the powerful receiving set in the

up a message unlike anything they
had ever heard.
The message was not in any known

HEAVY VOTE EXPECTED
IN DOUGHERTY PRIMARY

ALBANY, March 18.-The heav-
lest vote ever recorded in white
primary in Dougherty county is ex-
pected Wednesday,, the registration
totalling 3,435, including about L.
400 women. Estimates of the num-
Der of votes to be cast run from q
800 to 5000, but it is most likely
that the number will be about an
average of the two extremes, or
around 5000. 1t is generally con-
coded that each candidate who has
opposition in his race will exert ev-
cry effort to get out every voter be-
lieved to be favorable to his cause.
With some twelve or fifteen cand.-
dates actively at work trying to get
voters to the polls, it is considered
unlikely that many holders of the
franchise who are. in the county and
not sick in bed will be allowed to
escape the act Of voting.

Nouse when startig spring cleaning
is all the men.

In truth. his whole talk last night
was an appeal to the women, who
are newcomers, so to speak in the

question of doubt when Mr.. Upshaw
based his appeal in behalf of Nc
Adoo upon patriotic grounds; that
the Californian was Georgia-born,
and the dead issue of prohibition.
He harped on liquor throughout che

asserted that he alone prevented

Armistice day was observed as a holiday by the Wrangell schools. Enthusiasm ran high in all the rooms when the announcement came, on the afternoon preceding that the School Board had decreed November II day of freedom from studies. A number of the boys took advantage of the opportunity to go hunting. Among the lucky ones was Homer Worden who bagged a nice fat buck who had selected poor time to swim the channel from War enkopfsky. It was first sighted by Herbert Bradley who was armed with shotgun and succeeded in keepinng it from landing until Ho- mer came on the scene with a rifle and a boat.
