Two Governors Over Texas; “Ma”
and Husband
DALLAS, Tex,, Aug. 31. (/P)—Dan
Moody, youthful red haired attorney
general defeated Mrs. Ferguson in the
runoff for the Democratic Guberna
torial nomination which virtually
means governorship. It is predicted
^ Moody’s lead will reach two to one
when the returns are complete. “Ma”
and her husband philosophically ac
cepted a thumbs down verdict on
what became known during the last
few weeks as “Fergusonism.”
It was a battle of a young man, one
of the youngest ever nominated for
governor, who came from a small
country town and engaged in combat
with a shrewd political veteran. Al
though Miriam was a candidate, her
husband, Janies E. Ferguson",
|r old seasoned campaigner and fought
her battles declaring the Klan was the
issue. Moody replied Fergusonism .
was the only issue and charged that .
Texas had two governors on account ,
of Ferguson's influence with his wife.
