b\>rt Worth. Texas. June 27. {
Judge Sam J. Hunter of this city, who
for years lias been rogurdeed as an
uncompromising pro, has issued a
public statement in which lie pledges
l his support to James Ifl. Ferguson for
his re election as governor/ and de-
nounces the methods of the Anti-Sa-
loon league and other alien organl
zations for forcing the submission
question on (he voters of Texas every
two years. Ho urges that nil Texans
stand for "citizenship" first and "par-
tisanship’* afterward and severely ar-
raigns professional agitators who, he
claims, are kipping up a constant pol-
itical controversy to the detriment of!
(lie best Interest* of the state.
Judge Hunter formerly served in
the Texas legislature from Tarrant
county and for the past twenty years
ha* been prmnlnent and conspicuous
In the councilM of the prohibition
' movement. Ho reiterate* that ho Is
for Governor Ferguson because the
chief executive has by "hl* sterling
emirage and honesty of purpose se-
cured for Hie people of Texas the
blessing* nf t-<lucatlonal facilities, and
has assisted the deaf, dumb and blind
and Insane people of otir state to sc-
our* buildings, furnishings and. ac-
commodations to trike them out of the
jail* and put them in plti<*es of safe-
ty " Ho doesn't care a thing about I
