OFFICE BET CALLED
SHAME TO TEXAS
Gov. Ferguson's Challenge to
Attorney General Scored
by Lynch Davidson.

DALLAS. Tex. May 24.-Charging
that the highest offices within the
gift of the people of Texas had been
placed upon the plane of crap
game" Lynch Davidson. we'll known
financier and lumberman and guber-
material candidate, has issued a state
ment scoring the Moody
campaign wager.
In her opening campaign speech
Saturday Gov. Miriam A. Ferguson
declared that if Attorney General Dan
Moody, also candidate for COVER
nor, leads her one vote in the pri-
mary she would resign Immediately,
provided Moody would resign If she
led him 25 200 votes. Moody counter
ed with an acceptance In an address
at San Antonio Saturday night,
waving MAS" 25,00O-vote margin.
Jim Ferguson. proxy governor,
offers to bet the Office of governor
against the office of attorney general.
Dan Moody accepts the bet"
In these words Davidson epitomized
the challenge and it's acceptance.
Sees Shame to State.
1.-The honor and dignity of these
two great offices is insulted and dis
graced by their incumbents to a de-
gree that brings the blush of shame
to every decent and right thinking
citizen i'm this State" Davidson de-
clared.
1.-The legal and moral codes of
Texas condemn gambling. even when
it involves property owned by the
gamblers.
The offices held by the governor
and attorney general are solemn
trusts granted by the people of Texas.
The holders of those offices have no
more right to gamble them away than
they would have to gamble away the
estate Of widows and orphans intrust.
ed to them by a dead friend or a
relative"
In his acceptance OF Mas"
challenge, Moody explained: II want
to say that the public offices of
Texsas are not to be wagered or
bartered away or otherwise disposed
Of than is provided in the constitution
and in the popular will. But this
campaign is an issue between
F'ergusonism and the rights of the
people. SO eager am | to rid Texas of
everything they stand for that I
accept the challenge issued by
Jim Ferguson irf his wife's name"
Result Of Her Success.
If Mrs. Ferguson wins the wager.
Davidson said in his statement, she
will win double by keeping the office
of governor and the right to name an
attorney general, who would serve
six months-long enough to dismiss
some troublesome road suits"
Davidson censured the attorney
general for entering into bet with
Jim Ferguson" after having pro
claimed in his San Antonio address
that the issue was Fergusonism
against the rights of the people" The
only honorable course left open to
Moody. Davidson asserted. is 10 with
draw from the gubernatorial race.
The gubernatorial campaign in
which three women and three men
are seeking the States highest office.
had not warmed up appreciably
until Gov. Ferguson delivered her
speech Saturday. The chief issue is
the highway construction involving
road suits prosecuted by Mr. Moody
while opposed by the Fergusons.
The prohibition question has not
been injected into the campaign to
any considerable extent The primary
will be held on July "a.

PARIS, May 24.-The cost of living
IN France, statistics of the ministry of
labor say, now is just about four and
a half times that of 1914. Bread. the
real staff of life of the French people,
however. costs in American money
Just what it did before the war-about
BIZ cents n pounds.
The figures of the labor depart
ment are those for n workingman' s
family. Persons living on more eX-
travagant scale find life much dearer.
Their expenses are estimated at SIX
and one-half times those of 1914.
Wholesale prices show greater in
rreases than retail prices.
The item that seems to have been
hit hardest by the drop in the value
of the franc and by the new taxes is
liquor. The new tax on spirits of all
kinds is a fame liter. Good brandy
and other liquors, however. have gone
up 10 francs a bottle, and a bottle
