lBy Associated Press

TEMPLE, Texas, Nov. Airs.
Miriam A. Ferguson of Temple, who,
on the face of early returns in today S
general election has lead of more than
26. 600 votes for governor of Texas, is
sued a statement to the Associated
Press tonight in which she said Texas
is still loyal to the ideals of true de-
mocracy, despite the mouthings of po-
litical preachers and some school teach
ers seeking to lure democrats into be-
trayal of their honor"
She assailed the Ku Klux Khan for
its activity against her in the cam
paign and added that the people have
seen the Shiny trail of the serpent along
which these river bottom censors of
morals and violators of ballot pledges
have led their complacent and pliable
tool and they have spoken in a voice
not to be misunderstood.
Hate has been the slogan of the OPP
position" Mr.. Ferguson said. "Venom
is its password and SANDER, falsehood
and Misrepresentation its platform"
She expressed her gratitude to the
Splendid and patriotic, democrats" who
supported her throughout the campaign
and, added that ''as a daughter of
Texas, to the manor born" she would
work to the utmost. for the best inter-
ests of my people and devote my talents
and energies to the promotion of the
cause of education from the rural
school communities to the university
and other institutions of higher educa-
ton" ---.,
Mrs. Ferguson said she would try to
carry out every pledge in her platform.

EVANSTON, ILL.,, Nov. 1.-The
mounting tide of votes carrying him to-

G., Dawes, of usually nervous tenn

the midst of friends and neighbors he
received at his home here the returns
from the national election.
He alternately listened to the results
Of the days balloting as announced by
radio and, read the returns as gathered
and transmitted to his home by the
Associated Press. At one time, he put
the election entirely out of-his mind by
viewing motion picture that Mrs.
Dawes arranged to be shown for the en-
tertainment of the company of more
than hundred visitors.
The callers at the Dawes home in
cluded business friends and neighbors,
the latter including some of those who
went to the polling places in the home
precinct of the republican vice presi-
Dental nominee today and cast vote
that stood Coolidge and Dawes 593 !;
Davis and Bryan "a, and La Toilette

The vote plainly pleased Mr.. Dawes
as much if not more than any of the
returns that come in from the outside
world. Many of the visitors to the
Dawes home extended congratulations
to their host as the evening wore on and
the vote of the republican national
ticket increased. Mr.. Dawes thanked
them with quizzical smile but made
no comment. .--'
He announced at III, o'clock that he
would have no statement to make to-

he said he didn't know that any state

ITALIAN KILLED
BY NEGRO THIEF
NHoROBSSTORE
Black Escapes Following
Murder OF Paul Har-
duvel In Cafe

Paul Harduvell,, Is year old Italian
merchan!, at 1895 Fifth avenue, north,
was shot and instantly killed at IL 10
o'clock Tuesday night by an unidenti-
fled negro who robbed the cash register
of approximately $40 in currency.
John Avergrey, clerk, was covered
by the negro following the shooting and
was forced to stand by while his EN-
ployer lay dying on the floor and the
cash proceeds of the days sales were
appropriated.
According to Avergrey the man was
shot down in the passageway leading
behind the counter and the desperate
was forced to walk over the dying
grocer to reach the cash register, who
he declared calmly seated himself on
the counter, covered the clerk with
his gun and Eifled the register.
Stuffing the bills into his pocket the
negro. walked out Of the store and
disappeared into the darkness. The
clerk rushed to the street and attracted
the attention of a passing autorist who
drove to police headquarters and sum-
moned aid. .t1.
Orders Cigar
The negro walked into the store and
ordered cigar Avergrey told police,
When he had received his purchase he
walked back to the door and struck
the match on the door facing. Harduvell
was standing at the entrance behind
the counter preparing some food when
the negro wheeled on him.
Novel Novel or / will shoot you
down" the negro shouted. Before the
startled Italian could comply the negro
fired point blank. The bullet entered
the neck ranged down and clipped the
spinal cord. After shooting the pro.
prietor the negro turned his gun on the
clerk who had waited on him, but
held his fire when he found his hands
in the air. 49, ~
Captain Moore, Sergt. Rogers and of.
ficer S. 7. Cobb were the first to reach
the scene of the murder and robbery
The Italian was lying where he had
fallen in a pool of his own blood, dead

vicinity failed to reveal any trace Of
the negro. f&s-
Coroner ]. d. Russum and Deputy

minutes later. Russum held a prelimi.

with it 18, Tennessee with its II and
Oklahoma with its 10 were showing only
partial returns at that hour but with an
apparent trend to Davis and Bryan.
The number of electoral votes con.
stituting a majority, necessary to cleo
ton is 266.
None Of the candidates would
comment on the returns as they
were at midnight. President Cool
idge at Washington let it be known
he would have nothing to say until
tomorrow. Senator La Toilette at
his home in Madison, Wis, said the
same thing. At John w. Davis
headquarters in New York the only
comment was not to forget 1915
when the late returns from the
western states turned the election
to Wilson in face of a rolling tide
for Hughes which covered the
east.
The Coolidge column in the east fat
tened as the hours rolled ON and the
most interesting uncertainty there was
the fight between Governor Smith and
Theodore Roosevelt for the governor
ship of New York. Governor Smith, Of
course, polled heavy vote in greater
New York, but Mr.. Roosevelt came
down from upstate counties with
dwindling majorities which at first
seemed to indicate his election. just
before midnight Charles d. Hilles, ons
of the vice chairmen of the republicans
national committee, gave it as his opin.
ion that Governor Smith would carry
the state by more than $4,000 and the
governor on the basis of reports made
to him, said he believed he had been
elected.
The congressional returns were mark
eddy slow. The vote that came in be-
fore midnight gave little color to the
