Ambrose seeks railroad post replacing Thompson in Texas
Fort Worth oilman W D Ambrose said he will ask the state Democratic executive committee to permit a run for the railroad commission seat held by Col Ernest O Thompson. Party chair E B Germany denied Ambrose’s ballot spot since Thompson has two years left though he seeks the governorship. Ambrose says Thompson forfeited the job by running for governor and would divert salary to old age assistance. Ambrose plans to present the case in Austin next Monday after placing a $100 filing fee with Germany’s secretary. Lon A Smith’s term ends this year and 18 candidates seek to succeed him.

Johnson, superintendent of the San Antonio State Hospital for Mental Patients. Litigation over Johnson’s status began earlier this year after charges by the San Antonio Ministers Association and a public investigation was suspended pending appeal. Former Gov. Dan Moody argued Johnson is a state official and could be removed only through impeachment.
