LOVE SEEN AS
G.O.P.ENTRY
^erguton Say* Bolter Seek*
to Be Barred by Dem.
Executive Committee
By RAYMOND BROOKS
AUSTIN. Aug. 24.—Thomas B.
Love, republican nominee for gov
ernor.
That Is the way James E. Fergu
son. former governor and only hus
band of a former governor in the
history of America, has it figured
eat
Senator Love, now an avowed
candidate for the democratic nom
ination for governor. ls‘*balting'’ the
democratic party organization to
make good its threat to bar "Hoo
vercrats" from the ticket, in Gover
nor Ferguson's opinion. Love, he
believes, is getting the political
nine-pins all lined up for a fight in
case he is excluded from the demo
cratic ticket, and would, or might
likely, fall heir to the republican
nomination to the same office,
backed up by a theoretical 300.900
Hoovercrats of 1928.
Former Governor Ferguson be
lieves at least 75.000 of the demo
crats who bolted last year will stay
out of the 1930 primaries, regard
less of the candidate on the ticket.
This, he believe*, will make the pol
itics of next year’s governor’s race a
merry-go-round right on up until
the November general electoin.
The way he has it doped out.
Senator Love will gladly welcome
action of the democratic state com
mittee. headed by D. W. Wilcox of
Georgetown, to keep Love’s name
off the democratic ticket.
“That would give him a chance
to renounce and quit the democratic
party for good." "Farmer Jim" com
mented. "Then, the republicans,
sensing the attitude of the Hoover
crats. and avowedly out to get them
again If possible, would adopt him
and make him their nominee."
Mr. Ferguson said he has not
made up his mind whom he will
support out of the present baker's
dozen candidates and prospective
candidates. He exhibited keen in
terest in the rally on behalf of
bringing former Congressman
James Young into the race, held at
Tyler this week.
Walter D. Cline. Wichita Falls
oil man. is another likely new en
trant into the race. Mr. Ferguson
understands. These in addition to
the reported prospective candida
cies of R. S. Sterling. R. L. Bobbitt
and Earle B. Mayfield.

She stood up suddenly, and called
out to Bryant..
* “Hey. what's the matter with you.

confusion of the room. “Are you
with Dave and his girl friend or
with us? Hey—come on over here,
where you belong, you?"
The girl with Dave half turned in
her chair to look at her. Wonder
and disgust were written all over
her pretty face.
"Look at her. tryln’ to high-hat

“Who is that girl. J:m? Is that the

“Yes. But sit down." Jim an

“No. he’s coming NOW! This

to Dave Jordan’s table and brought
Bryant back with her.

Chatty flung open the one and

from the darkness.
Suddenly she heard a voice that
she knew, somewhere below the
tangle of vines under the window.
•Here, Ben. give it here!” it said
. . . Pud’s voice! His loud, young
voice that was just beginning to
deepen into a man's voice. “I’ll take

Then Ben Tomlinson’s voice an

She spent that night at Winnie’s
house, because she was ashamed to
bo home and face her mother when
she had been drinking.
She was too befuddled with drink
even to telephone Mrs. Chatterton to
tell her that she wasn’t coming
home. Winnie had to do it for her.
“She says your kid brother is still
out. too.” said Winnie. “She says
she’s worried about him.”
“She’d better be worried.” thought
Chatty, sinking into heavy sleep.

On Monday night, when Chatty
came home from the office, Mrs.
Van Nuys was there.
She was in the front room, talk

the half-open door Chatty could
hear what she was saying.
“I'm going on Saturday, Hattie, if
you can get those things finished.
So do your best for me. won’t you?"
“You know I will,” Mrs. Chatter
