‘Ma' Now Faces Same Fate
Texas Governor May Be
WOULD CREATE
A PRECEDENT
IN POLITICS
Representative Irwin of Dallas,
Leading Forces for the Im
peachment Proceedings
FORT WORTH, Texas., Nov. 28.
—The storm clouds tnat broke over j
Jim Ferguson’s head in 1917 and
blew him out of the governor’s of- j
fice are gathering again.
This time they are focusing not '
only around Ferguson—who official- !
ly is only a private citizen—but j
around the picturesque, nationally- J
popular figure of his wife, “Ma” |
Ferguson, first woman governor of j
the Lone Star State.
A special session of the legisla- I
ture will be held very soon, called |
by Mrs. Ferguson, if she accedes to
:he demand of legislative leaders; I
ailed by Speaker Lee Satterwhite on
demand of fifty members if she does
not.
Ostensibly it will be held to con
sider taxation. Actually it will be
held to consider the question of deal
ing out to Mrs. Ferguson the fate
that her husband received eight i
years ago—impeachment.
Should she be impeached, it •• ould I
it is believed, be the first time that I
any American woman office holder I
was removed from her position in ;
that manner.
The trouble underlying this new
development is deep-seated and com
plicated. it is caused, primarily by
the fact that Jim Ferguson is as
much the governor of Texas as he
ever was, in all but name.
Ferguson has been acting gover
nor, without any concealment, op
ponents of the Fergusons charge, j
They say that “Jim,” not “Ma” has j
appointed th e three highway commis- j
sioners, has sat in at all their meet- |
ings, has issued pardons to criminals j
—IOOO of them since Jan. I—has, |
in short, exercised exactly the same j'
sort of power that was his back in j'
1917. h
! r
It is the highway situation that
brought on the storm. It began j
through the activity of Attorney
General Dan Moody—a determined,
soft-speaking young man, twenty .
years Ferguson’s junior and holding
his office by virtue of a majority of ,
00,000 votes at last fall’s election,
'his, it might be noted, is a greater | (
lajority than Mrs. Ferguson got.
loody has been a bitter critic of the | j
aad policy of the Ferguson admin- jj
.stration. Low bidders were ignored j |
he charges; millions in state funds L
were wasted—favoritism was shown v
certain contractor?.
Moody has scored one victory. As- j
ter suit had been instituted by him 1 ,
against the American Road Company
for excess profits in connection with ,
surfacing 1000 miles of highway, the (
concern confessed judgment to the ,
sum of $600,000, agreed to cancel
lation of its contract and forfeited
its permit to do business in Texas.
This action lent added impetus to I
the move for an impeachment ses- j
sion of the legislature. But Mrs. !
Ferguson countered with another I
clever political move j
ed, and got, the two
members of the state h‘lJHpFcom
mission who had been
most loudly—Frank V. Lanham and
Joseph Burkett.
Representative T. K. Irwin of
Dallas is leading the impeachment
forces. It was he who sent to fellow
members the petition calling for a
special legislative session.
Should the impeachment proceed
ings actually come to a head—it is
not certain they will, for the Fergu
sons have their friends in the legis
lature and a great host of mem
among the private citizens of Texas
—it is probable that Mrs. Ferguson
would be accused of failure to func
tion as governor.
Then a unique situation might
arise. Pending the outcome of the
proceedings, it has been hinted that
attempts might be made to oust Fer
guson from the executive mansion
by force. And counter hints have
come that he might order the adjut
ant general to prevent the legisla
tors from meeting in the capitol
building. This would add a new
tangle to a situation already tangled
almost beyond understanding.
Even “Ma” Ferguson’s warmest
friends admit that her husband is the
real governor. It is he who sees
newspaper men; it is he who con
suits with all applicants for guber-

natorial favors; it is ho who advises
with heads of various state depart
ments.
In addition, Ferguson has many
irons in the fire otherwise. His little
weekly paper, The Forum, has grown
like a mushroom since Mrs. Fergtt
son’s inauguration. It is swollen with
advertising. He has also become
counsel for big railway interests,
at a salary much higher than that ac
corded his wife as governor.
The change in F’erguson's way of
receiving callers is worth noting.
Just after his wife’s inauguration
he would tell them: “I’ll see my
wife about it.” Then he said, "My
wife and I will look into it,” and now
it is, “I’ll tell you what I’ll do.”
The special legislative session is
now'a certainty. Just what will take
place is not certain: but that there
will be a reopening of the old fend
that culminated in F’erguson’s re
moval in 1917 is not considered a
matter of doubt.

MARINE BAND

WASHINGTON, November 28. -
Radio has added another skeptic to
its ranks of supporters.
Captain William H. Santeimann,
leader of the famous Marine bands,
who has withheld his approval of
broadcasting the band’s concerts, in
the belief that reproduction by the
ether route had not been perfected,
has finally yielded, after a concert
tour with his musical charges, and
has agreed to the installation of a
ladio set in the Marine barracks,
where two concerts a week will be
broadcast this winter.

[turned out to be policemen enforcing
