CAMPAIGN FOR A
GOOD GOVERNMENT
Object of tlie Campaign:
To bring to the attention of
the people of Texas the facts
that have convinced the commit-
tee that James E. Ferguson is
unfit to conduct the affairs of our
state. These facts are set out in
the inclosed outline.
Results to be obtained:
A stream of letters, tele-
grams and resolutions to Speak-
er Fuller assuring him of the
suppoi t of the people of Texas
in his fight for a clean adminis-
tration of our state in these
times of national stress and ex-
pressing our appreciation of his
courage and loyalty.
A stream of letters, tele-
grams and resolutions to your
representatives in the state leg-
islature stating in unmistakable
terms that you. his constituent,
are backing every effort for
clean government in Texas, and
demand a thorough investigation
of the serious charges against
Governor Ferguson. Make it
clear that should these charges
be establish the people will be
satisfied with nothing less than
his impeachment and the estab-
lihment of the reins of govern-
ment in the hands of men able
and willing to give us a clean
administration and uphold our
National government in its fight
for a graft free, thoroughly effic-
ient government in all states
during the period of the war.
He has violated his oath of
office, set aside the Constitu-
tion, disobeyed the ruling of the
sum of money belonging to th
State of Texas which he was
found guilty qf misapplying to
his private use, by the Legisla-
tive Committee, in March, and
which he promised to refund
should the Court so rule. The
Court did so rule finally on
March 28, 1917, but no part of
the money has as yet been paid
into the treasury.
He has not only rendered
himself ridiculous by having him
self surrounded day and night by
a body guard of rangers, but he
has seiously injured the reputa-
tion of the state in the Nation.
Only in recent years have people
in the older states begun to get
rid of the idea that Texas is a
wild frontier state, full of gun-
man and dangerous characters.
Governor Ferguson's action in
going always guarded will result
in reviving the old notion that
Texas is only half civilized.
He has through attempting
to close the University given the
greatest aid he could possibly
give to Germany. The greatest
and most pressing needs of
America in this war are aviators,
enaineers, doctors and nurses,
experts on food and feeding, ex
perts in chemistry, electricity
and physics, and educated offic
ers to lead the'men. Yet Gover-
nor Ferguson's veto would clos<<

sity has had an Auditor since 1904
and before that time the Presi-
dent of the Board of Regents
acted as Auditor as required by
law.
Governor Ferguson says that
the University finances have been
dishonestly managed. The fact
is that every cent of money has
been expended only by order of
the Board of Regents, approved
by the University Auditor, by the
State Comptroller, and by the
State Treasurer, as required by
law, so that there was not a pos-
sibility of speculation or loss.
The book have yearly been aud-
ited by a reliable firm of accoun-
tants, and publicity given to their
itemized report. These are right
now, and always have been, av-
ailable to the Government and all
others for reference in the print-
ed report of the Board of Regents.
Notwithstanding which fact his
slanders continue to this hour.
Governor Ferguson says that
dead men" have been on the
Universiy pay roll. The fact is
ihat no "dead men" has ever
been carried on the University
pay roil and could not be so car-
ried without collusion between
the Board of Iiegents, the Presi-
dent, the Auditor, and the Com-
ptroller. all of whom have to ap-
prove every salary paid. This
shameless charge is based upcn
the fact that the legislature gra n-
ted and the Regents set aside
two salaries to employ two pro-
fessors. These two professors
were never employed because
no one could be found competent
to fill the places who could be in-
duced to come to Texas. As the
men cotfld not be secured, the
salaries were not used for them
but were resp.r-priated by the
Was a
Misery
Mrs. F. M. Jones, of
Palmer, Okla., writes i
"From the time 1 en-v
tered Into womanhood
... I looked with dread
from one month to the
next; I suffered with my
back anl bearing-down
pain, until life to me was
a misery. 1 would think
1 could not endure the
pain any longer, and 1
gradually got worse. . .
Nothing seemed to help
me until, one day, . . •

The Woman's Tonic
"I took four bottles,"
Mrs. Jones goes on to
say, "and was not only
greatly relieved, but can
truthfully say that I have
not a pain. . .
" It has now been two
years since I tookCardui,
and 1 am still in good
healtlj, . . I would ad-
vise any woman or girl
to use Cardui who Is a
sufferer from any female
trouble."
If you suffer pain caused
womanly trouble, or
if you feel the need of a
good strengthening tonic
to build up your run-down
system, take the advice
of Mrs. Jones. Try Car-
dui. It helped her. We
believe it will help you.
