FERGUSON REPLIES TO
ATTACK OF CANDIDATE
--------,
Saye If Law Violated It a Duty
of Attorney General Dan’
Moody to Prosecute
JAcKsoNVELIE, Texas, Mayine.
(P—’I am playing a lone hand
against the oil trust and the leading
newspapers of Texas,” Lynch Dave
idson, candidate for governor told
a thousand people here last night
recounting the circumstances under
which the Standard Oil Company
recently regained Texas interests
after being ousted for 45 years.
“As soon M I announced my op-
position to the Standard’s return,
a number of “ the state’s leading
dailies, including morning and eve-
ning papers of Houston, my home
city, which supported me in my last
campaign, took their stand against
me.” Davidson said. He called the
owners and chief stockholders of
the papers by name and asserted
that they are closely affiliated with
Standard onl interests.
“I do not know the attitude of
DEMoody, our young attorney gen-
oral,” Davidson asserted, “on the
question of the Standard’s return to
power,” but I do know that some of
our most illustrious lawyers of the
past, when holding the office Mr.
Moody now holds, battled through
all the courts of th. state and na-
tion to break th. Standard’s grip
upon Texas
agenate bill 180, permitting that
return, was approved by the Forsu-
son administration and appears on
the statute books side by side with
the amnestybill and the new hishe
way bill.
“That observed Davidson, may
have been only a coincidence, but
at least it la an interesting one.
“Jim Hors, a quarter of a ma-
ture ago, fought the battle against
trust domination, which prevented
a Michigan lumber monopoly from
controlling all th. lumber lands of
Texas and kept Texas timber sup.
piles open to competition so that
isstruggling young man saw mill
hand named Lynch Lavidron was
enabled to get hold of a little clump
of pine, trees and gradually work
himself into financial independence.
I didn’t know at the time that Horg
was fig hting my, battles for me. 1
know now how much that meant to
i me and to others of my generation,
and rm going to take this fight to
the people in behalf of the genera-
tion now coming on."

Bays Weakness Imaginary.
FORT WORTH, May 1. (P)-
JamesB. Ferguson here on a poe
litieal mission last night denied ru-
more that he had had any kind .t
physical encounter while here. .
"I haven’t had an unkind word
with anybody," he said.
Replying to • question as to the
issue raised by Lynch Davidson in
regard to the tow signed by Gov-
Miriam A. Ferguson, permitting
foreign corporations to vote their
stock in Texas, Ferguson said that
he had examined the law and found
that the weakness charged to U by
Davidson, that it would permit for-
mation of trusts and price fixing,
was imaginary.
“The law specifically says that it
shall not be construed ae a defense
in any suit that might be brought
charging violation of the anti-trust
laws," Ferguson said.
“If they are violating any, then,
it ought to be the duty of Van
Moody to prosecute them.”
Ferguson left last night without
announcing appointment of a cam-
paign manager.

Nerve Energy :

At a recent medical convention to
Chicago, an eminent doctor stated
that because of the intimate con-
section of the nervous system with
the glands, many sufferers from
nervous disorders were receiving
remarkable benefits from glandular
treatment. He further elated that
this glandular treatment could be
taken by mouth like any other
nedicine, and that an operation to
not necessary.

gland tonle, which is prepared la
convenient tablet form, for men end
for women, provides a simple meth-
ed of taking glandular treatment
