James Z. Ferguson and Ross
Sterling made their final west Tex
as personal pleas for support today
preparatory to turning toward
south and east Texas next week.
Ferguson planned to speak at
Breckenridge tonight. Sterling's
schedule called for addresses during
the day at Abilene. Cisco and East
land and at night at Ranger.
Monday will find the candidates
for the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination well out of the terri
tory where during the past week
they have fought bitterly for the
support that was given State Sen
ator Clint c. Small III the first
primary. On that day Ferguson
will speak at Port Arthur and Ster-
ling at Gainesville and Paris.
At Aspermont, Ferguson last
night asserted that Dan Moody and
Ross Sterling were twin brothers
in political crime" He said a vote
for Sterling would be a vote for
the enemies OF West Texas and
a vote for Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson.
his wife. would be a vote for "a
friend Of west Texas"
Jim Is Played
He declared Governor Moody had
driven Jim Robinson to his death
for doing his duty TO the people OF
west Texas" Robinson, former land
commissioner, died shortly after a
legislative Investigation Of his Of
flee. He charged that the Sterling
forces were spending a lot OF
money, but the people Of Texas
can't be bought.
He reiterated his assertion that
he had saved Sterling from tinan-
cial ruin in 1915, that he had inter
vened between Sterling and the
state banking commissioner when
he said Sterling was threatened
with bankruptcy. Sterling doesn't
deny ! saved him from bankrupt
cy," said Ferguson. He only says
he never came TO my office as I
stated"
Senator Walter Woodward last
night furnished the fireworks for a
Sweetwater rally. He declared that
he thought Of Ferguson what Fer
guson is alleged to have said about
the Democrats when ne was run
ming for president on the American
party ticket, TO wit, that they
didn't have the pride OF q jackass
or the decency OF a skunk"
Sterling for Mineral Tax
Woodward said Mrs. Ferguson
didn't know what it's all about"
and didn't when she was governor.
Then, said the senator, she chatted
with the stenographers about the
birds and bees while Ferguson sat
in the governors chair and ran the
office.
Sterling In an address al the
rally advocated a tax on mineral
resources, including a dollar a ton
tax on sulphur, and explained his
platform policy that state highways
should be financed by a gasoline
tax rather than a tax on real estate
property. Again he termed his plan
for issuing state road bonds an
"unbonding' plan, rather than a
bonding one. DECLARING the coun-
ties could relieve themselves OF

 They said that he had failed to take his latest periodical physical examination. This neglect was quick ly repaired by an examination at Mitchell field, and it was said a li- cense renewal would be mailed from Washington at once.
 Fokker came to the field to wit ness the takeoff for Chicago of the Southern Cross, which he designed. He was so elated at the way the heavily loaded ship behaved on the departure that he jumped into a small sport plane and took 10 the air himself with wings wagging.
 He swooped low over the field giv- ing vent to his enthusiastic by skim ming close over hangars and attract ed the attention of the department of commerce men. They were wait ing for him when he landed. Fox ker was accompanied on his jaunt by Luba Phillips, Western woman flier.
 Fokker does a considera ble amount of flying. He took the con- trols for a few minutes while accom- panying the Southern Cross flicrs to Washington two days ago in a 32- passenger transport of his design.
