JAN. 17, 1930. TEXAS WONDERS IF FERGUSONS WILL RUN AGAIN ‘Farmer Jim' and ■ Ma’ Have Backers Who Want Them for Governor. BY GORDON K. SHEARER Inlled Press Staff torrupondfnt AUSTIN. Tex.. Jan. 17 —All over the 266.000 square miles of Texas, people are wondering if "Ma" Fer guson is going to enter the Gov ernor's mansion for the third time. It would be but another turn in the remarkable career of the two Governors, Miriam A. and James E. Ferguson, who have alternated be tween the zenith and the nadir of fortune's wheel. In 1914 a rugged, smooth shaven. 200-pound man of 47. risen from day laborer to banker, startled the poli ticians of Texas by suddenly an nouncing that he was going to run lor Governor.

Washington St. t poring to limit the amount of the crops that landowners could clain I from tenant farmers, Ferguson was swept into the governorship. After being hostess at the "man sion” for nearly three years, Mrs. Ferguson left it in October, 1917, with her husband, who had been impeached and sentenced never again to “hold office of honor, trust or profit” in Texas. Then came the Ku-Klux Klan Ferguson became its vitriolic attack er. He could not run for office. Mrs Ferguson said she would. On the twin planks of opposition to the Klan and vindication they again had fortune's favor. Pardoned Husband She pardoned her husband. The legislature passed an amnesty act restoring his political rights. Atiorney-General Dan Moody be- | gan a probe of highway activities. Huge contracts had been let. He demanded tneir cancellation and re- I turn of approximately $1,000,000 to the state, in a series of suits. Win ning a $600,000 suit Moody an- i nounced for Governor. In the second primary Moody won and in January, 13*17, “Ma Fergu son” left the mansion the second time. Amnesty Act Repealed The amnesty act. that had re- j stored Ferguson’s rights was re- pealed. Opponents claim the ara i nesty never was constitutional and j that'“Ma” Ferguson could not legal j ly pardon him. Ferguson supporters say the par don was valid. They assert also ! that once having taken effect, the I amnesty act restored his rights re gardless of the pardon. Once re stored, they say, repeal of the act could not deprive him of the right to hold office. Because of this dispute some think ”Ma” will again be the candidate, ! not “Pa.” In either event, a Ferguson victory will take her into the “mansion” for j the third time. READY FOR QUOTA FIGHT • /?;' Srrions-ll'if'ird Sf.icspnner Alliance ■WASHINGTON. Jan. 17.—Senator David A. Reed of Pennsylvania, au thor of the national origins immi gration law, is prepared to lead a fight against the proposals of Albert Johnson of Washington and John Box of Texas to extend the quota ‘ system to North and South Amer ican countries.
