TEXAS PRIMARY
HAS ATTENTION
IN WEST TODAY
Ma Ferguson Confident
Of Defeating Sterling
In Run-Off.
BY VERNON A. MCGEE
rnited Press Staff Correspondent

AUSTIN, Tex, Aug. 27.-1U.R-
The House of Ferguson will make
another bid for political suprem-
acy in Texas when approximately
100000 voters go to the polls in
the states second Democratic pri-
mary today.
Opposing the return of dark
haired, brown-eyed Mrs. Miriam
Amanda (Ma) Ferguson to the ex-
ecutive office is Texas 250-pound
Governor Ross S. Sterling.
I'VE must have good government
in Texas. not proxy rule" urged
Governor Sterling as he toured the
state making six and sometimes
13 speeches a day.
Let them howl ABOUT proxy
governor" retorted Mrs. Ferguson
from another stump. 81 know that
you, the people, had 10000 times
rather have proxy joined to me
by the laws of God and man and
sealed by the affection of man and
wife, than to have a proxy gov
ernor who has no tie but that OF
greed and gold"
1.-THE Fergusons offer of two
governors for the price of ONE
stands today as it did in 1924 when
former Governor James E. (Farm-
er Jim) Ferguson first coined the
slogan for his wifes campaign.
If Mrs. Ferguson wins, she will
enter the White House of Texas
for the third time. Her husband
served as Governor from 1915 until
he was impeached in 1917. Ma
was elected in 1924, but failed to
win in the 1926 and 1880 elections.
Quite Homebody
In political "off-seasons" Mrs
Ferguson is quite a homebody
When the voting season opens
she joins her husband in a cam
paign tour of the state. In the
first primary last month she piled
up a lead of 10000 votes over
Governor Sterling, carrying 16a
out of 254 counties in Texas. Ster-
ling carried but SO. The political
"X", or unknown of the run-off
campaign is the 100000 block OF
votes polled by Tom F. Hunter, III
dependent oil man, who ran third
in the. first primary A majority
vote is necessary to nominate in
Texas.
Reassured by their 100000 vote
lead, the Fergusons will conclude
a leisurely campaign tour of the
state with final address al
Greenville on the eve of election
day.
Throughout hot summer days
Gov. Sterling pushed a more hec-
tic campaign. The strenuousness
of his campaign was partly blamed
for a tWo-day illness when he abb
ruptly left off campaigning to lie
abed with a light attack of food
poisoning
Jim" Ferguson's attack on Ster-
ling'S businessman adlninistra
ton" of Texas affairs has centered
on the state highway commission
He charges the commission car
account for roads worth but S117,-
000,000 of its $217, 100000 fund, and
raises his voice in a high-pitched
query: who got the 100000, ,000?'
Meanwhile Republican forces il
Texas, strengthened by the Demo-
cratic bolt to Hoover of 1923, quiet
ly prepare their plans to put q
Republican in the governors chati
for the first time in Texas history
They nominated Orviile Bulling-
ton, Wichita Falls oil man, as
their candidate, and are confident
of victory if Ma Ferguson be-
comes the Democratic nominee

is expected to set a new record ir

A FTER the British had left Alexandria, and
u had sailed down the river, there was
rumor that they intended to return, rumor
that proved unfounded. But the people OF
the District of Columbia were quite alarmed
and according to Christian Hines met
at Lewis tavern, on Pennsylvania avenue, in an
old brick house, near where DR.. johnson now
resides, between Seventeenth and Eighteenth
streets west. There we discussed the matter,
and finally concluded to appoint committee
of three to make collections among the citi-
zens for the purpose of employing Workmen
to go to Fort Washington to assist in repair
ing it.. An election was held which resulted
in the selection of william Worthington and
John Gardiner Esqs. and myself as collectors
for that purpose. 1 believe it was George
Graham Esq who favored me with the NOM
nation On the next morning we commenced
the work of collecting, and succeeded in rails
ing about as much as would enable us to pur-
chase provisions sufficient to last about week
And as what was to be done had to be accom-
plished quickly, it was concluded among us tnat
T. being the youngest and most active at that
time, should make all necessary arrangements
to employ laborers, engage a vessel to take us
down to Fort Washington, and to do whatever
else was necessary to our speedy departure on
our expedition while they would continue the
collection of money and be prepared to pay
off the men on our return from the fort.
With this arrangement 1 was well pleased
and Immediately commenced operations 1 was
authorized to offer 81 per day and one pint
of whisky for laborers as an inducement, be-
sides finding them in rationS I Immediately
proceeded to Blodgetts Hotel, where the
general post Office now stands, in the vicinity
of which 1 knew many Irish laborerS, parti-
cularly John and Morgan Donoho. John, 1
knew, was an expert workman in his line of
business, and him I procured to assist me in
obtaining other suitable persons and concluded
to make him foreman of the workmen.
III THEN went over to Georgetown and
! chartered the packet of my old friend
and acquaintance, Harry Macpherson, to take
us down to the fort and left directions to sail
over to Lear's wharf early in the morning. In
the meantime procured provisions by the as

FIrytAId Film Ready

The efforts of the Red Cross in informing
the general public in irst-aid measures haNi
been given added support through the Bureau
of Mines which has taken advantage of thu
trend toward home movies A film entitled
Learn and Live" has been produced by thu
bureau showing first-aid work, to large ex-
tent in mine accidents, but the principles
nevertheless are applicable to similar accidents
in other lines of industry and general daily life.
The Importance of first-aid work is shown
by the fact that the annual accident toll OF
this country is 100 900 killed and 100000 in
jured.
The new film is to be distributed to inter-
ested persons who seek to borrow it, The only
\cost is the transportation charge. The film
must be returned of course, for the bureau
desires the widest possible of it.

their little boats with liveried men would pull
out from the shores of the Potomac. to bear
the invited one to Mount Vernon or Warbur-
ton or to strike trade perchance of tobacco,
corn or wheat, for cattle or sheep, or what not
Nor is it probable that this intercourse
was interrupted to any extent during the
Winter months, for we have Tobias Lear's
words in 1793 that "the river generally shuts
up about Christmas and is open again the
latter part of February very early in March.
Sometimes there are only short Interruptions
by ice through the Winter, and sometimes 1t
happens that it is not closed so as to prevent
the navigation during the Winter. This was
the case last Winter
frequent Washington visitor to Warbur-
ton during the early days of the city, was
Mrs. Winifred (MarShalD Gales, who had
made the acquaintance of Thomas Digges,
of the proprietorS of Warburton, before
the GaleSes had left England and 20 years be-
fore they again met at the DiggeS home on
the Potomac, where her son, Joseph Gales, jr.,
was the noted editor of the National Inteli-
gencer.
Mrs. Gales a clever writer, and upon
one occasion when visiting the Diggeses she
put into verse her impressions of the Potomac
in the vicinity of Mount Vernon and War
burton. She said:
Oh, what a goodly scene mine eyes
embrace!
Mingling with Flora's tints of varied
dye
Painted on natures sweet and pleasant
face
Woods wales and streams in sweet
confusion glow
Let poets boast of Amos shelvy Sidei
And sing the beauties of the classic Pc.
Give me Potomac'S grand, majestic tide,
ny he off tppnt
glow!
Farewell, Potomac! Ger thy waters
take lingering but delightful view;
Whilst the gay vessel dances on the tide
I bid thee, Warburton last adieu.
Perhaps no more to see my early
friend
No more his hospitable smile to meet,
Where true politeness and kind friend
ship blend
The ever-wecome, grateful guest 10
greet"
Indeed, all the country surrounding Mounb
Vernon breathes the life, the spirit and the
time of George Washington for, though he
is known to have paid strict attention to his
own affairs, yet unquestionably he was good
neighbor and was not backward in calling -
his friends WHENEVER the opportunity pre-
sented itself That he enjoyed good COM
pany, no one can deny, and that others en-
joyed his company is equally true, for after
all he was just as human as any one else,
and yet he was the greatest American THAI
ever lived.

REVENUE ACT NOW
IN OPER ALTON
Taxes Almost Every
Man, Child in US.

WASHINGTON, D. g., June T.
Additional indirect taxes were placed
on almost every man and child in
the United States through q, series
of exises and miscellaneous levies as
the revenue bill adopted by Congress
was signed at 5 pm. on Monday by
President Hoover.
The revenue bill which is nov a
legislative Act, adds millions of tax
payers to the United States roll in
compliance with the principle ex-
pounded by former Secretary of the
Treasury, Mellon. in his book entit-
led Taxation. the peoples business. "
The gist of this principle" is that
taxation, to be effective, must not
fall on the few rich men of the Uni
ted States but must transform into
taxpayers the largest number of
toilers,
The taxes which the new revenue
act imposes upon the workers in-
creased as the bill was being draft
ed and redrafted, discussed and re-
discussed in Congress. At a bi-par-
tisan parley of senators and repre-
sentatiVes the 3 per cent tax on
electricity was shifted on the con-
sumer whereas originally it was
placed on the producer,
