as, regardless Of party are not behind
Mrs. Ferguson and would not rc-eIect
her.
This il considered the first official
announcement Of the democratic wom-

Mrs. Ferguson.
Mrs Claybrook, while president %
the organization. was an ardent sup
porter Of Judge Felix D. Robertson.
defeated By Mrs. Ferguson in the dem
ocratic primaries, and later she sup
ported DR.. George q. Butte, republican

and that she understood Mrs. Ferguson
herself did not claim TO be leader Of

She said women Of Texas dcplored
the fact that many persons outside the
state accepted Mrs. FergusOn's election
as victory for women. Some consola-
ton for men is found in the Ferguson
situation by Mrs. Sarah Hughes, woman
attorney, of Dallas and a civil leader
1T is true, she said" that Mrs. Fer
guson does not represent any distinct

true that she is merely the agent Of
her husband, but 80 years ago a woman
would not have been able to do that
much and so it seems we have pro
gressed. Of course, no one in Texas
ever thought that Mrs Ferguson would
