on the governorship run-off he said:
' ‘In making a choice between
Judge Robertson and Mrs. Fergu-

that we will get better results
from Mrs. Ferguson as governor
than from Judge Robertson and I
shall vote for Mrs. Ferguson.
“I believe Mrs. Ferguson is a
good, well disposed and capable
woman and that we are justified
in accepting as dependable her
public declaration that she will
effectively enforce prohibition and
that while she is a friend of the
common schools, she is also friend-

. the state university.
“It is my opinion that if Mrs.
Ferguson is to be governor she
will be fortunate in having the co-
operation of her husband, for, cer-
tainly, of all men in Texas, James
E. Ferguson has the greatest in-
centive to do everything in his
power to insure such an adminis-

Folowing an operation for the
removal of a cotton seed, which
it is said had lodged in the
child’s lung more than a year
ago, Charlie B., the thirteen-year-
old son of Mr. and Mrs. O. B.
Small, 208 Evans street, died
Monday night in a local sani-
tarium. Funeral took place yes-
terday afternoon, with burial in
the Cleburne cemetery.
The child, it is said, swallowed
the cotton seed more than a year
ago. It lodged in the lung. A
former operation for its remov-
al did not prove successful and
it was necessary that the second
be performed. It is understood
the seed was coughed up a short
time before the little fellow
passed away.
