Texans Join Ma Ferguson Oppostion in Governor Race
Texas Republicans and many Democrats seek to stop Mrs Miriam A Ferguson from winning the governorship. Orville Bullington offers to drop out if she withdraws for an “outstanding man,” while Ferguson’s husband calls the offer ignorant. Governor Sterling pledges to fight Fergusonism and back Bullington. The contest marks a rare partisan clash since Reconstruction, last seen in 1924 when George C. Butler challenged Ferguson.
