Why No Democrat Can Afford To
Vote For The Fergusons For
Governor Of Texas
Jim
in his paper, the herguaon Forum, of October 7th. 1920
Ferguson said over his own signature:
The infernal Democratic Party can't run the schools
| he infernal Democratic Party can t bu.ld roads with-
out _
"The infernal Democratic Party can't run the State
Government without vicious extravagance.
" | he infernal Democratic Party is already condemned
an,l beaten in the National campaign Cox is a joke, and
Wilton it a memory.
"Vl'hy should any I exan vote the Democratic ticket?''
(See signed statement of Jas. F.. Ferguson in the Fergu-
Forum. October 7th, 1920.)
son
This Is Fergusonism
It is up to good Democrats to rebuke at the polls this
man. Ferguson, who in 1920 traduced the Democratic Party,
denounced its nominee for President and abused Woodrow
Wilson, the only Democratic Pr« sident that the country
has had in a quarter of a century.

ACCIDENTS
I he most dangerous occupation,
according to an industrial survey of
New York, is window cleaning. The
chance of accident to a window-
cleanur is nearly nine times as greut
a that which the artisan making
line machinery and instruments
runs, ihe latter being the least haz-
ardous occupation.
Kverybody who nas ever watched
the \ 'idow-ck. ancrs at work on the
outside of a skyscraper has shudder-

happen if thj workers safety

COLOR ^ ^
In the middle ages the rich mer-
chants of Venice spent so much
money painting iheir gondolas In
brilliant . o.ni. , trying to outshui
each other, thui an euicl wu>- passed
by the Coun. I of Ten that no other
color h„ lil.itmight be used on
these floating '>chicles of tli Vein
tian canals. And ull gouodlas have
been puinted black for five hundred
years.
Sonte have worn# red whether
there might not be h revival of the
old cVnetian rivalry in the gaudy
colors of modem automobiles.
I Ik* matter is one of pesronal
taste < 'onservative people and those
who do not court attention will al-
ways prefer black or plain blue,
while the spirit of youth and mod-
ernity will continue to express itself
in if ay green, yellow and red cars.

of trouble with communications by
