Governor Ferguson Suggests
Necessity for a Change
in Bexar County.
RESULT IN CONFUSION
—
Judge Davis Holds Regula-
tions Do Not Call for
Suggested Change.
Although the date for taking the
military census is now only four
Jays off. Governor Ferguson has
raised a question as to the legality
of the registration board named for
this county. In a conversation over
the telephone with County Judge
James R. Davis the governor has in-
timated that he mny undertake to
name a new board for Bexar Coun-
ty confining his selections to men
residing outside of the city.
The position taken by the governor
is based on his interpretation of the
regulations promulgated by the gov-
ernment. under which he holds that
a member of the* board of registra-
tion must reside in the political sub-
division where such board has jur-
isdiction. Since San Antonio by ex-
press terms of thesp regulations is
exempt from the jurisdiction of the
county board having a population
of more than 30.000 tne governor in-
fers that county officials could not
legally serve unless they actually re-
side outside the city.
Bclivve It Is Mistake.
“I am convinced that Governor
Ferguson is mistaken in this matter”
said Judge Davis “and he admitted
to me that two very a le lawyers
with whom he had previously con-
ferred also disagreed with him. The (
regulations prescribe that normally
the county boards shall consist of
the sheriff county clerk county
physician and such other officials or
citizens as the governor may desig-
nate. Governor Ferguson tn his ori-
ginal order designated me as one
-f the members for Bexar County.
“Now We have no desire to op-
pose the governor in the matter. It
will be a thankless task involving
a lot of hard work and creating con-
siderable wrangling. However this
board has gone ahead earnestly try-
ing to carry out the government reg-
ulations and to supplant it now at
this late date would necessarily re-
sult in much confusion. We don’t
want to see that for we are eager
to have Bexar County make a rec-
ord in the taking of this military
census. I don’t question the govern-
or’s power in this matter but logi-
cally it should be for cause and
as 1 see it there is none.
“Governor Ferguson first called
me up Thursday afternoon on this
matter and since then I have taken
occasion to read carefully every sec-
tion of these official regulations is-
sued by th»* government for the

To A hide by Decision.
“I am unable to find any gwnind
for the governor'® assumption for
carried to the ultimate conclusion
it would be necessary to establish
registration boards for every indi-
vidual election precinct. That cer-
tainly is not contemplated. 1 intern!
to have another talk with Governor
Ferguson but of course will abide
•> his decision.”
Similar sentiments were expressed
by the other members of the county
registration board. They are how-
ever. going forward with the work
nd are well satisfied with the prog-
ress made. As the man directly re-
sponsible for the actual registration
Sheriff John W. Tobin has under-
taken to raise a fund with which to
pay for the meals for the men to be
sent to the various precincts outside
the city. It is estimated this will
oust approximately |lOO and he also
is to arrange so that they can get
their breakfasts nt the Gunter Ho-
tel before leaving in tne morning for
the precincts to which they have
been assigned.

Will Be State Holiday.
Under the proclamation of Gover-
nor Ferguson June 5 will be observ-
ed as a general holiday over the
state so that a united effort may be
made both for registration of men
liable for military service and to ob-
tain subscriptions to the Liberty
Bonds. In recognition of this the
following proclamation has been is-
sued by the committee on military
affairs Texas Council of Defense be-
ing signed by Chairman K. L. Ball
and Secretary George K. Carter:
“To the people of Texas:
“The governor has issued a proc-
amation declaring June 5 a state
holiday to be observed as registra-
tion day.
“We earnestly appeal to all good
citizens of Texas to respond to the
governor’s proclamation in letter and
in spirit. Let the business houses
the banks the courts be closed and
everyone devote that day to service
as a citizen of the nation.
All Must llcglstcr.
“Seo that the requirements of reg-
istration are fully understood and
complied with by every man in Tex-
as. Remember that all who are 21 I
years of age on that day and not 31
on that day are subject to registra-
tion. There are no exceptions out-
side the army. The negroes the
Mexicans the crippled the blind
must all register-
“And while those mon are register-
ing for military service emphasize
the fact that the day is set apart for
another purpose also. Every man
voman and child who is able should
register for a part of the Liberty
Loan and buy as many bonds as
their financial circumstances will
permit.
•'Our government must have
money ns well as men to win this
war. The people are the govern-
ment; so the money must come from
the people. While the young men
are registering for the army let the
rest of our people help by buying
bonds.
Proud of Texas Patriotism.
“We are proud of our slate. We
are proud of its history; we are
proud of its size; we are proud of 1
its prosperous cities; we aie proud 1
of its enormous production ot cot-
ton; we arc proud of its vast cattle
’am hes; we are proud of its ma-
terial wealth in every form that
makes it ineed an empire but more
than all wo are proud of the patriot-
ism of its people.
“Then let us show the nation that
our pride as Texans is not an empty
boast. Let us resolve that at the
sacrifice of some pleasure some
convenience some comfort we will
subscribe to the Liberty Loan. And
when the sun goes down on June 5
let the record show not only the en-
rollment of every man in Texas sub-
ject to registration but that the Tex-
as quota of the Liberty Loan is sub-
scribed. and over-subscribed.
“To insure the success of this
j movement we call on the people in
• every community of the state to or-
-’nmzc arrange a program for the
day appoint committees to make a
thorough canvass and prepare a roll
of the names of the subscribers to
the Liberty Lot n lor publication in
I youi local paper.
“See that both the registry for war
|and the registry for bonds is com-
I plc to.
•Let us have no slackers In
Texas."

How the Military Draft
Will Affect You
Tuesday June sth 1917 will be Registration Day under the selective draft law.
It is expected that it will give the United States Government a list of 10000000 men
(including those who have taken out first citizenship papers) of ages ranging from twenty-
one to thirty years. From this list the first 500000 men of the new national army will be
selected to begin training about September Ist.
THE LITERARY DIGEST for June 2d gives all the available official and unofficial in-
formation which throws light on the many points in the actual operation of the draft law.
The article shows the questions that will be asked and how they must be answered; who must
register and where; the penalties for failing to register or for making false statements at
registration whether about oneself or another person; those who are exempt and how exemp-
tion claims must be made. Sickness or physical disability of any kind does not excuse absence
or failure to register. The Canadian Government has closed the border to American citizens
of military age until after Registration Day.
No date in the history fo the country is fraught with more significance than will be June
sth 1917 for on that day as the New York Evening Mail states “will be laid the founda-
tion for the great bulwark that the American people have pledged themselves to build in the
defense of the liberties of the world.”
If you would save yourself inconvenience not to say future anxiety be sure to buy and read THE
LITERARY DIGEST for June 2d. The information alone which the leading article contains directly af-
fects a great proportion of the American people.
