Ferguson Gould Eyes Senate Bid If Legislation Bar Fails
Former Governor James E Ferguson says his friends in the Legislature fear the people more than lawmakers and would oppose a bill barring him from the Democratic primary. He plans to announce a U S Senate run if barred from governor but insists his campaign for governor remains primary. Ferguson notes petitions against a bar show popular support, and says if blocked he could pursue federal office, as Senate qualifications are federal. He will attend the Dallas Cattlemen’s convention and plans to start campaign in April, timing not yet fixed.
