In each of those years, the peti-
tion alleged, Mrs. Ferguson's earn-
ings were increased to more than
$20,000 above the salary paid her
by the state. The alleged addition-
El earnings were classified as com-
pensation, rewards, fees, secured
by her for the practicing of law
through her husband as her mar-
ital partner and by the services
which he rendered to various in-
terests and corporations.”
This, it was alleged, was in vio-

sion which prohibits the governor
from practicing any profession or
receiving any reward, fee or com-
pensation.

them with free meals and other
accommodations and with illegal
affidavits setting up facts which,
if true, would entitle them to
vote. More than 5,000 such alleg-
edly fraudulent votes were cast
for Mrs. Ferguson, it was charged.
The petition repeated the charge
made in the original suit that
persons who were not residents of
the counties, but were only ‘ pass-
ing through, were taken away from
railway yards and voted.
It was charged the election in
the oil field was “fraudulent and
illegal throughout and all of said
votes were so contaminated that
each of them should be discarded
and not taken into account.”

Dr, Marsha’l Craig Brought Great
Message.
At the afternoon session Thurs-
day from 3:30 to 4, Dr. Marshall
Craig brought one of the greatest
messages! ever heard here on the
every member canvass. He asked
the question "Are we really doing
our best? Are we living our best;
for Jesus? Are we giving our best
for Christ? He said that many, be-
can e they can’t give or do what
they once could, excuse themselves
and don’t do scarcely anything. We
should not let our spiritual natures
starve because we are embarrassed
because we can’t do more. We
should continue to attend the house
of God. It was a really great mes-
sage in which he related several
touching incidents.

from and getting.}large fees there-
for” from various corporations.;
The petition averred ’that in' cer -
tain of the counties named in the
। exhibits, the presiding judge failed
to sign their names or initials on
the back of the ballots. It asked
that the votes in each of the
counties and precincts named be
declared void. Mrs. Ferguson re-
ceived a great majority of the
votes in these counties, the petition
said.
Another illegality charged was
that election officials in certain
counties named in the exhibits
did not number the ballots and
that in these counties Mrs. Fer-
guson received more than 50,000
illegal votes
in certain other counties, it was
alleged, tax collectors failed to
deliver the election officials certi-
fied lists of m-Hficd voters. The
petition stated that more than
20,000 illegal votes of this nature
were cast for Mrs. Ferguson.
Another averment was that as-
sistance was, given thousands of
voters in preparing their ballots
who were not entitled to help, and
that the judges suggested how the
voters should vote and did not pre-
pare the ballots as the voters di-
rected. The number of votes cast
illegally was placed at 50,000.
The petition charged that in
certain counties negroes were al-
lowed to vote and that each voted
for Mrs. Ferguson. The number
of negro votes was placed in the
petition at 20,000. The state demo-
cratic party managers had directed!
that negroes be not permitted to
participate in the party primary
At least 2,000 persons who had
been convicted of felonies were
allowed to vote in certain coun-
ties. the petition alleged.
Another allegation was that in
certain counties persons were al-
lowed to vote who were net citi-
zens of the United States, the
number so voting being set at
20,000.
At least 20,000 votes were cast
by persons who did not have poll
tax receipts or who were not
qualified to vote under certain
exemptions, the petition stated.
It Wae charged that at least 20,-
000 votes were recorded for Mrs.
Ferguson because of “fraud, acci-
dent or mistake or inadventance"
on the part of officers who called
and checked the votes.
