governor. Governor, therefore, Mrs.
Ferguson is, but she gives evidence
that the anxiety of her opponents.
lest the old James Ferguson would
be the real governor, may not prove
true. He was one of the wettest
of the vets and reports have it that
the old wet army, which had fought
so many victorious battles in Texas,
had rallied to her support. yet she
boldly announces that any liquor
laws passed by the Legislature will
be promptly vetoed.
So II happens that our first two
woman governors were each elected
In the spirit of vindication of their
respective husbands. In the one case
the voters tied fast the hands OF
their candidate. in the other they
thought they had, but she may yet
immortalize herself and Texas by an
unsuspected revolt against the head
of her house"

Distorting Bridal Facts.

An Eastern writer, in an effort to
ridicule the United States Senate. as
serts that nobody goes there to hear
the oratory except hand holding
bridal couples from West Virginia
and North Carolina, but it Is impos-
sible to believe the writer is drawing
q true picture of the typical bridal
couple from either of those States.
The impression we have gotten from
facts CLEANED from tourists is that
bridal couples from that section don't
go to the Senate at all, but make
straight for the Washington Monu-
ment, climb to the top. hand,
and look out upon the great world
that they never have seen before
The very idea of saying that West
Virginia and North Caroline bridal
couples care for Senate oratory! Why,
the things of interest to those couples
from the hills are tall monuments, big
buildings and high bridges.-Kansas
