FERGUSON RAPS AT
BALL AND THE CLUB
Ball Replies in Kind, and So
It Goes; Ball to Eliminate
the Mexican Vote.
A'
USTIN, Texas. July 10. Thomas
IL Ball and James EL Ferguson
continue their everlasting lam
basting of each other from the stump.
Ferguson is in north Texas, at Long
view, this morning, and Ball is down
In south Texas, having spent yester
day at his home In Houston.
"Trading compliments," as the vot-
ers say. is the principal business ot
the two Democratic leaders for the t
gubernatorial nomination. Ball one
day makes a charge against Ferguson I
which that worthy answers the next j
day. only to add a fling at Ball that I
ets an answer and a new fling next
day.
Attacks Ball's Sincerity.
Ferguson tenaciously holds onto
that "Houston club" talk against Ball.
and he has been doing some lively
excoriating of Tom Campbell, ex-governor;
R. M. Johnson, of the Houston
Post: Clarence Ousley, of the Fort
"Worth Record, and other men who are
supporting Ball, although they have
always eben professed antis. After
paying his respects to all of these
candidates. Ferguson said yesterday:
"After July 25 Col. Ball will be back
on the same old job. In the same old
office, at the same old desk, with the
same old papers, walking down the
same old. street, and up the same old
stairs, to the same old club.
"Boys. I hope my election to the of
fice of governor will be as welcome to
you as this rain," he said, after his
arrival In a heavy downpour.
"This rain has made me a wet antt."
be continued, as he shook the rain
drops from his coat, "but Tom Ball
does not have to get caught In the
rain to be a wet pro."
Rail nit McDonald.
Col. Ball paid fils respects to C. C.
McDonald, of El Paso, who Is stumping
for Ferguson, and declared:
"C C McDonald said two years ago
while campaigning for Colquitt and
against Ramsey, that Tom Ball was
a prince of men and patriots. I don't
consider Mr. McDonald an authority,
but merely mentioned this to show the
gang's inconsistency and that, no mat
ter who should be the prohibition can
didate, the antis would be dissatisfied
with his prohibition record."
Then almost in the next breath Ball
said-
"Jim Ferguson says I am not much
of a lawyer, and that every little
county seat town has lawyers as good.
Well. Hogg named me district judge,
which I refused, after I had , been
practicing four years, and I have made
such a reputation as I have in the
courts and in my office, for I have
never made a speech or need my po
litical influence for hire.
"I think the man who will peddle
his law license for political influence
Is unworthy the privileges of citizen
ship. I could have hired all this
bunch of two-by-four liquor lawyers
Ferguson has hired by letting them
have just one of the clients I laid
down to take the governor's office."
(Cheers and applause.)
In Against Mexicans.
Evidently piqued at El Paso's sup
port of Ferguson, CoL Ball Is taking
a slap almost dallv at the Mexican
vote and declares that he intends to

Robert J. Fowler, an aviator; Ray &
Duhem. a photographer, and Riley A.
Scott, a writer, were issued today at
the request of John W. Preston, United

disclosure if made abroad, and one year
or 1000 fine for such disclosure In

fortifications of the canal zone, and of
the San Francisco presidio accompan
ied the text. As soon as a copy of the
number was called to the attention of

the photographs showed no actual for

emplacement for a gun and the prelim
inary wor,K lor a tort- To tnis Jir. i
Preston replied: j
"It Is a violation of a plain statute
for any civilian to take or publish pho
tographs of any fortifications, whether '

forcement of this law as absolutely es- i
sentlal and my instructions are em

TEACHINGS, DEMAND
Colorado Springs. Colo., July 10. A

a stop to the spread of anarchistic
teachings in this country was made
by president Henry A. Dubbs of Den

of the Colorado Bar association at the
Antlers hotel.
"There is no constitutional right ta
preach anarchy," president Dubbs said,
"and yet the past ten years have seen
an appalling development of the prac
tice. Night after night the soap box
orator plays upon ignorance and upon
disappointment and with one purpose
revulsion of the existing order ol
things. It is the old time attack upon
all government conditions."

engineer, heard a noise behind Mm and,
turning, looked down the barrels of two
revolvers. .... .

the bandits forced the engineer to run
the engine and express cars to a point

express messenger, J. G. Nicholson, to
stand with his fae to the wall while
they blew both doers from the safe.

of the company enforced silence on
him. So far as known nothing was
taken except the contents of the express
safe. Mudd said he saw several pieces
