Ferguson, had been ousted from the governor's chair. In an active campaign her husband added charges that ofl in- terests were combining with the klan to elect Moody. Moody, executing his promise to carry his attack on *Fergusonism" to every school district, made from two to five addresses a day in the second campaign. He charged that M Ferguson was governor by “proxy” only and that her husband dictated the policies, which he alleg- ed had created turmoil in state af- fairs. Moody denied the klan was an issue. Answering the Ferguson charge that if he became governor “the state will be in the hands of an invisible government,” Moody de- clared the sole issue was “to rid the state of Fergusonism.” Mr: Ferguson entrusted the speaking tour almost entirely to her |husband, who attacked the klan and answering Moody's “proxy” claim declared “it is my Gogd-given right my wife so long as she In the July campaign called on the state rangers to quiet hecklers, display of a pistol being necessary on one occa- sion, while in the second drive the veteran campaigner invaded Moody territory, usually tearing off his coat and collar to better “wade into the joh. As the campaign closed threats of investigations of irregularities came from both cam Moody support- ers confined their threats to actions planned at the special session called by Governor Ferguson for Septem- ber 13 to validate more than $80,- 000,000 of state road bonds and to “investigate any departments of the state deemed advisable.” The Fer- guson claim that Moody will be un= able to get pis name on the Novem- ber ballot, alleging violation of the election law in the July primary, They also demand an investigation of camipaign fund contributions. Although run off contests develop- ed for the democratic nominations for state treasurer and attorney general, little interest is shown in these races. With the republicans polling but 16,000 votes in July as compared to more than 800,000 in the democratic gubernatorial con- test, the winner today ‘s considered as the next governor of Texas. Moody supporters claim that the 405,000 votes he received in July, coupled with the trend shown by more than 100,000 received by Lynch Davidson, also anti-Fergu- son give the attorney general an ad- vantage in the run-off. Moody also has referred to Mrs. Ferguson's offer to withdraw from the race if he led her in the first primary. She ignored this offer, Edgar Wallace Speaker At Public C. L. U.
