Mrs. Miriam Ferguson Wins By Big
Majority. Proud “For Jim’s
Sake,” She Declares.
Dallas, Texas, Aug. 24.—Texas to
day had more than an even chance of
having a woman as governor for the
next two years as a result of the
Democratic primary election yester-
dmay. Mrs. Miriam Ferguson, the
woman anti-Klan candidate who was
in the race seeking vindication of her
husband’s name from an impeachment
when he wyr governor seven years
ago maintained her lead reported last
night as returns continued to come to
the Texas election bureau today.
Heretofore, Democratic nomination
in Texas has been considered equiva
lent to election.
A large part of the Democratic pri
mary tried today to figure out how it
happened that Mrs. Ferguson was
nominated. Her supporters were jubi
lant, her'opponents mourned.
Mrs. Ferguson and her husband,
James E. Ferguson, who conducted
her campaign, regarded the results of
the primary as a big step forward in
their fight for vindication.
At no time during the tabulation of
the vote was Mrs. Ferguson behind,
returns ■
from Dailas, her opponent’s home, and :
other reports came in, her lead was :
-a' smafl -'marginf “She quickly r
made up the loss, however, and con
sistently held first place. The vote
late today was: Mrs. Ferguson 397,-
936; Robertson, 31'6,710.
In the Saturday primary the re
turns showed that Mrs. Ferguson had
gained strength in the cities, and
much of what had been figured by
Robertson as his vote was cast for
her.
The interest in the primary elect
ion Saturday was more intense than
in any run off race in Texas for
many years.
Congratulations!
Temple, Texas, Aug. 24—Mrs. Mir
iam A. Ferguson this afternoon re
ceived a telegram from Felix D. Rob
ertson, of Dallas, her opponent for
the gubernatorial nomination in the
Democratic run off primary Satur
day, congratulating her upon her vic
tory. The message read:
“I sincerely congratulate you on
your victory.
Quiet and Assuming
Temple, Texas, Aug. 24.—Mrs. Mir
iam Amanda Ferguson, nominated for
Governor of Texas yesterday in the
Democratic run off primary,* is just
a quiet, unassuming wife and mother
who has never taken much interest in
social or political affairs save when
her husband was involved.
Until it was ruled that her hus
band, former Governor James E. Fer
guson, was ineligible for office in
Texas because of his impeachment in
1917 add until the courts held this
spring that he could not get his name^
on the ticket as a candidate for gov
ernor, she has had “no very great de-
sire to hold office. Today, however,
Mattie DuBoee, of Bishopville,
•peat the past week ead with Mrs.
Kitty Dutton.
she is the proud bolder of the Demo
cratic nomination for governor of
Texas, which has always meant elec
tion in this state, and she says her
heart is full of joy, not because the
office will mean much to her per
sonally, but because the expression of
the confidence of the people in the
Ferguson family means everything to
her children and her. children’s chil
dren.
Also she is proud “for Jim’s sake.”
Like many other women, Mrs. Fergu
son objects to telling her age. “There
is not any use in putting that in,”
she smiled. “Besides,” she added,
“you better not do it.”
“Why?” she was asked.
“Oh, because—because I am the
woman'nominee for governor now.”
Mrs. Ferguson attended a one-room
rural school and later was a student
at Baylor College, at Belton. She was
married in 1899 to James E. Fergu
son, her boyhood sweetheart, whose
father was a pioneer settler of this
section. They have two children,
Mrs. Ouida Ferguson Nalle, of Aus
tin, Texas, and Miss Dorrace Fergu
son, the latter her private secretary
in her campaign.
“Don’t forget to mention my grand
son,” she cautioned. It waa» to vindi
cate her husband’s name so that lit
tle Ernest Nalle, five years old, might
not be embarrassed should he wish to
run for public office when he grows
up that she ran.
Asked how she feit this morning
when she woke up and realized that
she was the nominee, Mrs. Ferguson
countered:
“Wake up? I didn’t even go to
sleep. Of course, I’m overjoyed, but
there is the realization of responsi
bility and I shall pray to God for
guidance just as I did throughout this
campaign.”
, Hundreds of telegrams of congra
tulations have poured into the Fergu
son home all day from all sections of
the state and nation.
Mrs. Ferguson knows how to cook
and sew and she is the only member
of the family who can drive a car.
This afternoon she gathered flowers
from her yard and took them to a
sick friend.
Former Governor Ferguson spent
most of the day answering telephone
calls and accepting congratulations
for his wife.
Miss Kathryn Day arrived Sunday
and is with B. L. King & Son again
this season as milliner.
Mrs. V. D. Ramseuur and children
and Mrs. Tom Poe and little son, of
Greenville, were recent guests of
their mother, Mrs. Kitty Dotton.
Mr. Virgil Shores and family, of
Spartanburg, spent Sunday here with
Mr. and Mrs. Dogan Hollis.

MADAM X REDUCING GIRDLE
MINUTE YOU PUT IT ON, AND IT ACTUALLY
DOES TAKE OFF FAT.
WORN IN PLACE OF A CORSET.
A safe and sure way to reduce without the discom
fort of diet or exercise. The Madam X Reducing Gir
dle fits like a glove—has garters attached—and is so
constructed that it gently massages every part of the
body that it touches.
Madam X is made of scientifically treated rubber-
encircling the thighs, hips and abdomen. Worn over
a vest or step-chemise—it stimulates the circulation
throughout the body. Its smooth, unbroken lines add
much to the appearance.
Our first order has been entirely sold out, but we
expect a good assortment of girdles and brassieres the
last of the week.
