DAN DERIDES
SPEECH
Would be Unworthy Of
Anyone But Author,
Moody Declares

SAN ANTONIO. Texas, May a.
Dan Moody, candidate for gov
ernor, today gave out a statement
assailing representations contained
in the opening speech Of James +.
Ferguson made at Sulphur Springs
last Saturday. The statement in
part follows:
The campaign utterance Of Mr..
Ferguson delivered at Sulphur
Springs . yesterday is characteristic
of him. and as a political expression
il would not be worthy Of any man
in public life except its author. II
is characterized by camouflage and n
reckless disregard of facts and is
typical Of mountebank, and a dema-
gogue. IL demonstrates again before
the people of Texas Mr.. Fsrguson's
habitual desire To mislead and de-
ceive them. Obviously he Is striving
to mislead them even If IL becomes
necessary to make statements which
he cannot himself believe to be true.
Khan Charge Denied.
For example. he attempts TO raise
the Klan question and by labored
harangue endeavors to make il ap-
pear that | am either in league with
or member Of the klan. Whatever
else Mr.. Ferguson may believe about
me, and however despised | may be
in his opinion. there il one thing
certain. and that is that Mr.. Fergu-
son does not believe that / am either
a member Of or have any connection
with the khan, and he knows that
am not now and never was in sym
pathy with that organization.
He makes the reckless statement
that in 1922 | took an active part in
the support of khan candidate for
senator. That is untrue. | did not
support or vote for either Ferguson
or khan candidate. I was elected
district attorney on an anti-klan
ticket in the primary of that year,
and was elected Attorney General on
the same ticket in 1924.
"Ferguson's reference to the
Houston incident will convict him
before his friends and foes alike Of
political insincerity, Of being a man
lacking in candor and frankness. II
makes him appear as twister of
words rather than an exponent of
truth.
One FIogger Pardoned
"He makes reference to the fact
that had assistance in the prosecu-
tion Of the flogging cases in Will
Hanson county. / am wondering
who assisted him in making up his
mind to have the governor restore
citizenship Of one or more Of the
men convicted in those prosecutions.
HE condoned the offence of ut
least one Of those men by having the
governor restore his citizenship.
In desperation, he is trying to

Memorial Day services planned b,
