"Ma" Ferguson in the Lead.

Texas Democrats wound up very
bitter primary campaign Saturday and
Ma" Ferguson, first woman Governor
OF Texas, leads the long list OF candi-
dates for the Democratic nomination
for Governor. This does not necessarily
mean that Mrs. Ferguson will be the
nominee Of the party. While she ran
more than $4,000 ahead Of her nearest
competitor, Ross S. Sterling, she did
not receive a majority OF the vote cast
and under the Texas law a run-of pri-
mary will be held later with only the
two candidates receiving the highest
number of votes In the contest.
Ma" Ferguson was elected Cover
nor OF Texas in 1924. She entered the
race at that time--as she did this
year-because the State courts had
held that her husband, Jim" Fergu-
son, was ineligible because of irregulari-
ties committed while he was Governor
OF Texas. Mrs. Ferguson was cam
didate on "vindication" platform. In
1924, resentment against the Ku Klux
Khan played considerable part In the
election of Mrs. Ferguson. At the end
OF her two years in office, Texas Demo-
Gratis rose against their first woman

Sir Ronald Lindsey, the British AM

AS for the medium for publicity that
lies in writing long letters to the diplo-

as tree-sitting. And popular interest
in tree-sitting lasts so much longer,
even though one is only middling fair

There is scarcely a more disagreeable
sensation in Nature than that of an
ant crawling down ones back via the

If the fellow cannot get down past
the Adams apple, owing to a tight
collar, he slides around to the tie and
starts down the shirt front.
But it is down the neck that he makes
his best success as a prime nuisance.
Once down, there is little hope of
getting at him, even in the hurly-burly
of the average picnic.
One is forced to act as if one did not

wondering where the ant is now.
We suppose we shall accept the invi-

Governor and declined b give her q
second term.
There were many angles to the guber-
Material contest in the Democratic pri-
mary outside of "Fergusonism." In the
first place, Thomas B. Love, the anti
Smith Democratic leader in 1928, sought
the nomination, running himself on an
-Tammany and anti-Smith plat
form. Another candidate for the nomi-
nation was former Senator Mayfield,
regarded in the past as the pet of the
Khan. Senator Mayfield was defeated
for denomination for the Senate two
years ago by Senator Tom Connally.
The anti-Smith Democratic leader
made poor showing. He had only
$4,000 votes. Apparently the Demo-
Gratis in Texas, whatever they did in
1928, are intent this year upon being
as regular as the Democrats in North
Carolina and Virginia, who also bolted
the national ticket in 1928
There was one candidate for nomi-
nation who came through with flying
colors- Senator Morris Sheppard. The
vets were out to make dent in the
Sheppard vote if they could, running
former Representative Robert L.
Henry on wet platform. Senator
Sheppard, who played an important
part in the drafting and adoption of
the resolution proposing the eighteenth
amendment, simply made a runaway
race of the contest. There will be no
need of run-off in the senatorial
primary. The vets have nothing to
shout about over this affair, and the
drys will point with pride to their
strength in the Lone Star State. AS a
matter of fact, a victory for Senator
Sheppard in Texas, where he has been
consistently popular, is far more than
mere victory for the drys. 1t is a
personal triumph FOR Mr. Sheppard.
