PAGE EIGHT ‘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- SIGNS YOU CAN BELIEVE IN « If your breath is bud and you have ■pells of swimming in the bead, poos appetite, constipution and a general no account feeling, it is a sign your liver it torpid.

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. LESLIE Mr. W. L.

But they [turned out to be policemen enforcing the new traffic regulations, and seek ing to arrest him for failing to have his motor car properly lighted. They returned shortly accompanied by the reserves, halted the young man from jhis bed and charged him with carry ing concealed weapons.
