The condition of Mrs. W.

yesterday in Dallas, was reported
aa favorable today. She was ac-
companied by her daughter, Mre.

Cashier, H. L. 8. Doerr, one of
the officers in the bank at the time
of the holdup, described the rob-
bers as fairly well dressed and ap-
pearing to be between 25 and 30
years old.
They simply walked into the
bank, revolvers in hand, and com-
manded those present to hold up
their hands, Doerr said. One ban-
dit walked into the directors’ room,
ordered two customers,in there to
join the othera, then proceeded to
gather the loot.
The other officers were Presi-
dent W. H. Stuermer and assistant
cashier W. A. Plueckahn.
Officers at LaGrange and Bren-
ham were notified and the bandits
were traced to a point on the Hous-
ton highway where they turned off

estimates, will receive a majority
of between 160,000 and 170,000
votes over her Republican oppon-
ent, Orville Bullington, well-to-do
b- siness man and rancher of
Wichita Falls.
The victory of the Democratic
ticket was so apparent from to-
day’s compilations that the Texas
Election Bureau anpounced it
would not continue to accept tele-
graphic reports of the election.
The final vote will be unknown
for several days, possibly a week.
That this campaign to elect
Bullington was a serious threat
was evidence in today’s returns.
For one thing, Mrs. Ferguson
fell far short of attaining the ma-
jority over her opponent that Gov-
ernor Roosevelt and Garner held
over President Hoover and Ctlrtis.
The Democratic national stand-
ard-bearers polled an 8 to 1 vote
over the Republican candidates.
Mrs. Ferguson’s vote represented
a 8-to-2 basis.
Republicans and Democrats en-
(Ma) Ferguson, matronly appear-
ing Austin woman, were given the
tributes of Texas democracy at
the polls.
To the former went the highest
honors his party could give and
while the nation was electing him
its vice-president home town folks,
neighbors and residences of his
congressional district reelected
him to the lower house of Con-
gress.
The election of Mrs. Ferguson,
apparent from tabulated returns,
marked a high moment in a life
that has known triumphs and trib-
ulation.
She was the first woman gover-
nor in Texas in 1926, the second
in the United States and with her
hi band, James E. Ferguson,
shares the position of being the
two leading public figures in
state affairs during the past de-
cade.
Gov. Franklin D.
president-elect, and Garner,
running mate will probably
coive a majority of between 600,-
000 and 700,000 votes in Texas,
estimates of the partially
piete returns indicate.

A plan to merge the Union Oil

PALO ALTO, Cal., Nov. 9.
(UP) — President Hoover an-
nounced today in his first public
declaration since his defeat for
re-election that he intended to re-
turn to private life, to recoup his
personal fortune.
The president, in an interview
with the press, let it be known
that he intended to return to Palo
Alto to take up his permanent res-
idence. The exact nature of his
future private occupation he was
unable to reveal.
President Hoover indicated that
he had not the remotest idea what
he would do after March 4, but
that he intended going back to
work as a private citizen.
The president said he did not
plan to stay in Washington after
March 4, and that his very strong
and natural inclination was to
settle down again in California.
The president also said that he
planned now to depart from Palo
Alto Saturday evening for Wash-
ington, he will take the Southern
route, going by way of Los An-
geles across Arizona, New Mexico
and over the Santa Fe trail.
In the meantime, he said
would rest for the rest of
week, possibly taking occasional
drives in the vicinity of his home
hete.
| with pride to his vote which esti-
mates if estimates of the Election
I Bureau are correct, will be the

date for governor in Texas’ his-J
tory. The bureau has estimated
800,000 or more votes were cast
an J that the percentage of vote
for each candidate will remain un-
changed as the compilations con- .
tinue.
Bullington shared with his fol-
lowers the belief he would gain
votes as tabulations continued. He
declared to comment on the elec-
tion returns until more complete
totals are available.
The vote of George W. Arm-
strong, Fort Worth attorney run-
ning as an Independent candidate,
was less than L000. Strength
which his followers forecast would
reduce the lead of the two major
party candidates failed to show
and estimates of his total vote by
the Election Bureau are it will
not exceed 2,000 votes.
Return to power of the Fergu-
sons in January adds another
chapter to the records of perhaps
the most publicized couple in
Texas.
“Farmer Jim” Ferguson, coun-
try banker and farmer, first at-
tained importance in political cir-
cles during the days of the late
Joseph Weldon Bailey. His rise
was steady, r.iachine-like and like
a plummet he fell when he was
impeached and removed from of-
fice as governor 14 years ago.
Barred from holding office, at-
tacked because of lack of alleg-
iance to the Democratic party in
1920, when he ran for president
as candidate of the American
party, he offered “Ma” as gover-
nor in 1924.
That year she won. In the next
campaign she failed to receive
nomination of her party when red-
haired Dan Moody, a stripling in
politics, bested her at the prim-
aries. It was another low point in
the Ferguson saga.
In 1930 she led at the primaries
but was defeated at the party run-
off. A defeat she evened this year
when she led Gov. Ross S. Sterl-
ing by a scant margin of 4,000
votes at the runoff in August

Death Threat

Police discredited this part of the
statement.
The death-threatening note, fill-
ed With typographical errors and
written in poor language, was
found in the Smith mail box Fri-
day. It ordered her to place the
money in a can and “put it on the
step at 8 o’clock tonight.” The
note was written on a sheet of pa-
per bearing the letterhead of an
Ardmore, Okla., hotel.
Police planted a fake can on
the steps and guarded the Smith
home Saturday night but the ex-
tortionist did not appear. Four
threatening telephone calls were
received by Miss Smith Sunday.
Sunday night police again
planted a can and two detectives
went to a pecan grove nearby,
where they could watch the house,
and began itnpcking pecans. Pres-
ently a negro appeared and then
went away.
Shortly thereafter the pecan
grove was showered with rocks
and bricks. The negro then re-
appeared and was arrested. He
lives at the rear of a home close
to the Smith home and has worked
for the Smitn’s as yardman.
The negro said he did not know
the white :i.en whom he said
ced him to write the note or
did not know where they could
be found. D.screditing this, po-
lice held the negro in jail.
