By THE POLITICAL ANALYST


AUSTIN. Aug. 18.-TexaS has
kept the South's record unhroken Of

About 10 per cent Of the vote

brought about by c-arelessness or
indifference in the first primary.
Practically everybody knew that
James E. Ferguson would hold his
old following. Many conceded he
would get some disccntented votes,
the result OF farm failure and econ
omic distress.
Still. they united until his name
led the ll-candidate ticket before
discovering that concerted effort
was required to prevent a return
to the unthinkable status OF unof-
fetal rule by n whom the courts
said shall not hold office.
II may 81 a bit cold-blooded;
but now, during the final Today
period In which Texas Is turning
the corner and getting away from
that Ferguson prospect, one may
wonder just how much longer Tex
as votes are going TO have to fight
to prevent the indirect doing OF
what the courts have forbidden d.
rectly-government by an impeach-
ed, discredited, ex-official.
Win or lose, Jim Ferguson has
the following now to make IL pro-

PARTY CONTROL
BATTLE OPENS
President Hoover Is Held
Responsible for Ills
OF Nation

WASHINGTON, Aug. lo-tR1-
The battle for control Of col qress
was on In earnest today with lead
ing spokesman Of the republican
and democratic parties recording
their views Of the general issues on
which the contests are to be decided
at the November elections.
Jouett Shouse, chairman OF the
democratic national executive COM
mittee, placed the democratic side
before the country in a radio adj
dress last night, in which the ad-
ministration was charged with
errors both Of omission and ON
mission. An immediate defense and
counter-attack was issued In a
statement to the press by John @.
T1lSon OF Connecticut, republican
floor leader In the house. Robert II.
Lucas, executive director Of the
republican national committee al
ready was on record with condem-
nation OF the democratic position.
Hoover Criticized
Shouse's attack conferred on the
tariff bill, farm relief and business
depression. President Hoover, In
the speech, was made to shoulder
the responsibility with congress
for the form taken by the tariff
bill. He was singled out also for
individual criticism in connection
with the farm relief legislation
adopted and for failure to check
in advance the depression which
set in last fall.
Tilson termed the democratic
speech ian amazing collection OF
half truths, misstatements, abuse
anl criticism"
Shouse, said Tilson, failed to
suggest q cure for q single thing
he criticized. Instead Of offering a
constructive program as his listen
ers had every right TO expect him
to do at this time, he presented the
regrettable spectacle OF the at least
verbal leader Of a political party
literally gloating over the economic
distress Of the country"
The democratic leader asserted
the people OF the country ARE aris-
ing to q political overthrow that
may assure the proportions Of a
cataclysm-"
Republican Replies
Tilson replied that overthrow Of
the republican party would be q
'cataclysm" because the party had
"a definite, well considered ad-
ministrative and legislative program
which it is carrying forward TO
completion despite the determined
obstructive tactics OF the demo-
Gratis"
Shouse said farm products had
declined In price readily since
passage OF the farm act; he con-
trasted the Hoover 1928 campaign
speeches assuring continuation Of
prosperity under republican rule,
with the unemployment and de-
pressed business obtaining within
the year. He blamed the president
for not warning against speculation
while secretary OF commerce and
president-elect. Conceding that af-
ter the crash Mr.. Hoover did per-
haps all any man could to try to
effect an adjustment Of conditions"
Shouse observed that history Is apt
to record that he locked the barn
door after the horse was stolen"

QUEEN

Something new in the way Of
a mystery melodrama arrives on
the talking screen Of the Queen
theatre Tuesday with the presen-
tation Of Midnight Mystery, the
new Radio Pictures production
featuring Betty Compson and
Lowell Sherman. Here is a thriller
with a punch OF novelty that makes
it doubly interesting. Splendid
playing by a star cast, smooth
direction and a story that builds
to stirring climaxes make Midnight
Mystery" an evenings genuine en-
tertainment.
The story has been adapted from
the stage success. Hawk Island"
and is concerned with an oddly-as-
sorted set Of guests at a house
party in a castle on q storm-beaten
island off the Maine coast. Every
bit Of action in the film is encom-
passed within less than a twelve
hour period. with the major part
OF the story running through a
night of electrifying adventure.
Based on the murder" OF a
dummy" which later proves to be
more tragically real than the joker
supposed, the picture offers the
novel angle OF letting the audience
in on the secret before the charac-
ters themselves suspect what has
%transpired. Even so. the element Of
mystery Is maintained to the end.
George 3. Seitz, veteran director
Of many mystery successes. scores

includes Miss Compson. Mr.. Sher-
man. Hugh Trevor. June Clyde.
