some opposition to him still exists but
despite this Tact fully 5000 loyal West
Texaas cheered him to the cho. His
appearance la also said to have put a

being circulated against him there.
In. the city of Abilene local differences
ver. submerged with the governor's visit
and the enunciation of his wjn-the-war
platform. Buch opposition as remained Is

character and is fixed by the lines drawn
by .the governor in hp patriotic appeal.
At san Angelo fully 7000 people con
atltutlng the greatest throng to be at-
tracted by a political event up to now
in West Texas greeted the "wln-the-war"
candidate and similar tremendous
crowds assembled to meet htm at every
scneduied stop.
OVERCOMING PROPAGANDA EFFECT
Th effect of the propaganda said to
have ' been spread bv approved German
method throughout Texaa now1 appears
to have ben overcome through dis-
closures made by hundreds of speakers
who have been appearing In behalf of
Governor Hobby In every town city und
crosa-roada community. This Is Indi-
cated by reports from 200 out of the 247
organised counties of the State as re
ceived at Hobby headquarters.
 By this method of counter offensive
brought to its maximum force during the
fast- vwekvr thosewho have been fighting
Covernor Hobby now appear to have been
driven to defeuslve tactics. This h&s
been shown In speeches delivered by
Ferguson leaders and by those who have
been upholding the operations of the Oer
man-American alliance in Texas and the
tact has been taken to mark the turn-
ing iolnt in the camapign. Presumably
sji a result of this chanae. literally hun
dreds of tetters have been received at
iiiijy heeuiiuarters from men who ad
mit t.1at they were formerly against that
ci nmaare out since mey nave learnoa
t..u tacts and heard the evidence they are
tut- aim.
r'erjuron propaganda also reflects the
cuiiaition.' At first as shown by letters of
lmtiH.'lion to workers now in rjossession
. of Hobby managers Ferguson supporters
vitte ruereo to ma0 militant claims.
I aid Utents wearing overalls visited every
tuwn with the statement that "they did
not-'.kaow -how the tqwn and city folks
wtre VO"a Y vote uw tne ooys at ine
' forks 'ol the creek were all for Ferguson."
Now tthe - statement is mad that "if
Hobby Is elected it will be by the votes
At Hobby headquarters It is now stated
that not only will the women vote go for
Him almost en masse but tnat he will
.win In th count of men's ballots by a
majority oi at least iM.mu. tunougn

."And we do not believe that there are
more than half a doxen pro-German coun-
ties in Texas" declared Walter Crawford
HObby citairman. In a statentent given

ttainltles willing to have that stigma

- Houston Post Staff Correspondent
CORBICANA Texas 'July 4. There
may be people in Texas who believe that
Ferguson has a stranglehold on Navarro
county. Those people bad better not
com her to Corslcana and make that
assertion. There are people In Navarro
county who resent such an Insinuation
On man told The Pott correspondent
that he could whip any person who even
thought he would live In a Ferguson
county. That was before the gathering
of the Hobby clans on th lawn of the
Navarro county court house Thursday
night And tho person who would say
now that Ferguson has a look-in at Na-
varro would probably be called a fool by
anybody who was one of the 7600 people
who heard Governor Hobby speak here
Ten men and they are reliable cltlsens
who tiave grown old In the service of the
people of Corslcana said that was the
largest political gathering ever assembled
here. -Certainly no such crowd has hon
ored the governor In this campaign ex
cept in the wonderful city of San Angelo.
There were mora than 1100 automobiles
parked for the speaking. Four streets
were lined two machines deep on each
side for several blocks and then hundreds
and probably thousands came and saw
there waa no chance to hear the gov
ernor and went their ways.
The stand waa more than three feet
above the ground the governor stood up
on a tame in tne center of tnat speakers
stand. Only by so doing could he be seen
by the throng and he waa forced to stand
still many times and await the ending of
tne nanqciapplng and yells or applause.
H. E. Prince former speaker of the
house of representatives presided over
the meeting; and presented Dexter Hamil
ton who Introduced the governor. "Next
to winning the great war. our most Im
portant duty in Texas Is seeing to It '.hat
the man who has disgraced our State
and committed doubtful acts while in high
office Is retired to private life. The Issue
is: Will you put Ferguson back In the
governors chair? Cries of "No: no.
greeted the speaker.
Mr. Hamilton referred to the fact that
he was one of the university aristocrats
who had worked his wsy through that In
stitution and said that man v other Na
varro county boys and glrla whom he
named naa done tne same thing.
"Thank God. Fersuson will never again
have the opportunity to decanitate the
educational system of Texas by cutting
on its neaa tne unlversty of Texas" he
said and the crowd voiced its approval
witn cneers ana applause.
When Governor Hobbv climbed on the
table so that he might be seen as well as
heard the ovation was loud and long. He
expressed his pleasure at coming among
tne people of Navarro and went at once
into the record of the eight months since
he was made governor of Texaa At the
mention of every one of the law passed
by the special session the crowd ap-
plauded. When he took up th' matter
of the German-American Alliance and
showed how that pro-German organisa
tion contributed to tne election of er-
ituson in 1914 there were hisses.
You have tried the rovernment of the
German-American Alliance in partnership
with the brewers of Texas and how do
you like It?" he said. "Ton had that
kind of government for more than two
years. Were you pleased with it? And
then you have tried aovernment of and by
and for the people. How do you people
f Navarro county like that kind nf tnv.
rnment? Dd you think that kind of laws
would nave been passed with the German-American
Allianoe slttlna there in
the governor's office and making law for
your 
Navarro county has gone over the toe
in every unaertaxina seeicirur tne winnms
of the war. Navarro county has more
than her quota of boys wearing the
khaki. Navarro county made it plain
Thursday night that her people will see
to it that no German-American Alliance
ever again has a hand In governing the
state oi lexas.
Governor Hobby expressed his regret
that he could not devote all his time to
the making or a Jreurth of July speech
but he said It was Just as necessary and
more pressing lust now that the people
of Texas understand what la necessary to
the making of Texas a more decent place
for people to live In.
That is what has been done since I
have been aovemor." he said "and I have
come now te tell you of the laws I have
passed with the help or tnat magnificent
legislature. I come to tell you of what
has been accomplished and to warn you
that you must decide on July IT- whether
you want those laws repealed or strength
ened.- That is the problem before the
voters of Texas and surely It la an easy
problem for the loyal and patriotic citi
zenship of Navarro county to solve."
Thousands Heard Governor
Speak at Athens
Houston Poet Special.
ATHENS Teaas July 4. Speaking to
3000 people here Thursday afternoon. Gov-
ernor W. P. Hobby added hundreds of
voters to the number who weref already
known to be in the Hobby ranks. Ar
rangements had been made for the gov-
ernor to speak In the court house but It
waa necessary to change the arrange
ments to accommodate the crowd which
taxed the capacity of the court house'
lawn. J. C. Istndham presided over the
meeting and presented Judge A. B. Wat-
kins who Introduced Uovernor Hobby.
Ho referred to the fact that the opponents
of the governor are conducting a cam-
paign calculated to produce hatred be-
tween brother and brother and to result
In the arraying of class against class to
the enaangerment oi tne state wnue
Hobby is cementing all forces of the State
In a solid mass moved by the common
impulse to wm the war. Me gave tioDDy
credit for having already contributed
more constructive assistance to the presi-
dent in the war program than any other
governor by suggesting to the legislature
and wessing for passage more . original
and helpful legislation born in Hobby's
own mind than had been accomplished in
any other State.
The Henderson county crowd waa wim
the coventor and rave him much applause
throughout th speech. When the gov-
ernor was touching upon the German-
American Allianoe aid given to Ferguson
in the 1914 campaign a voice yeuea "Hur
rah for Ferguson." The governor an-
swered "He mean 'Hurrah for the
kaiser "
and th crowd yelled Its
approval.

CORPUS CHRISTI Texas July In-
coming Into a country that two and four
years ago waa th vary heart of bis
stronghold. In both Instances giving him
large majorities James B. Ferguson
Thursday faced a far different reception.
Tha enthusiasm that he aroused on for-
mer occasions was notably absent and
while at his meeting Thureday night
there wer many cheer and much ap-
plause for Ferguson there were many
others who time and again cheered for
Hobby. .
A feature tf th meeting. Which wa
held at Down park was a parade of auto-
mobiles that preceded the speaking. Nine
automobiles filled with Mexicans from
Duval county paraded through the town
and In one of the cars a huge banner
bearing the inscription. "Duval county
will glv Ferguson 1200 majority" was
carried.
Seated on the stage with Ferguson were
Judge Welter Tlmon Senator Arotile
Parr. R. R. Savage Pat F. Dunn K. W.
Barry and a number of other well-known
South- Texans.
The Ferguson speech came at the close
of the Independence day program and
waa hnard hv a crowd of 1000 DeODle.
Ferguson again refused to divulge' the
name or tne party or parties or irora
what source he borrowed 16.000 In cur-
rency while aovemor of Texas. He said
that he had given 4iis pledge not to di-
vulge the secret and that he would stick
to his promise.
The major portion of his address was
devoted to the Texas university us stu-
dents and faculty and to the Texas legis
lature. He characterised the university
crowd ss a "bunch of political crooks'
and said that fhe legislature was com
posed of one-fourth poker players one-
fourth drunkards and one-fourth liber
tines.
He charged and dared the senators to
deny the statement that before the Im
peachment that they had met and that
the 24 senators had agreed that tViey
would vote to Impeach Ferguson "because
the university crowd wanted me im
peached."
iie said tnat he would double dare win
Hobby to publish in' The Houston Post
whether he (Hobby) Is for prohibition or
an anti and said that If Hobby would an
swer this question that he (Ferguson)
would give 1200 to the Red Cross.
.He said that while he was at the EH
Paso democratic convention trying to get
the convention to Indorse the administra-
tion of Wood row Wilson that Oscar Col-.
quitt and Jake Wolters were trying to
get the convention to withhold such in-
dorsement At this statement some one in the
crowd asked Ferguson to explain the tel-
egram that he had sent to Garner against
the selective draft but Ferguson evaded
the question and proceeded with his talk.
erguson bitterly attacked ueorge w.
Brackenrtdee of San Antonio. The Hous
ton Post. Houston Chronicle. R. M. John
son and John Sealy of Galveston assert
ing that tne latter who is supporting
Hobby is one of the blRkest brewery
owners in Texas.
Ferguson closed his address with a pre
diction that on July 27 he will be elected
over Hobby by majority of 165000 votes.

Houston Post Special.
LOCKHART. Texas July 4 The case
of Ferguson late governor of Texas was
presented to the people of the Staples
section of Guadalupe county Tuesday
night in the auditorium of the school
house at Staples by Judge T. D"? Cobb of
San Antonio in a manner that will be
most beneficial to Mr. Hobby and greatly
damaging to Mr. Ferguson.
J. W. Scrutchens. a prominent nlanter.
acted as master of oerefnonies and pre-
sented Lea Beatty of Lockhart who
served In the State legislature with Mr.
Cobb. Mr. Beatty read letters from prom
inent men In South Texas who have been
said to have knowledge of who loaned
Governor Ferguson the 1158000.
The address of Judge Cobb was a scath-
ing arraignment of the deeds of Fergu
son. He said Ferguson had been tried
and convicted three times and he was
sure there was no law under "Vie sun
that could ever be found that would give
him the right to hold the office if ha were
so fortunate as to. receive the vote and
predicted tnat in tne event that Hobby
wer defeated no court would decide for
Ferguson and that the office of srovernor
of Texas the next two years would be
nuea Dy either a republican or a social-
ist. He called Unon every on a to vot
and to see that every one votes for Hob-
by. He paid a beautiful trlbue to both
Mr. Hobby and Jlp Mr. Hobby's father
whom he had known for many years
v Judge Cobb at one time resided in
Waller county and paid his compliments
to the candidacy of Judge' Harvey whom
he has known for many years and la
sure that no one in the 200 who heard
Judge Cob will cast a vote either for
Judge Harvey or Ferguson.
Judge Cobb told the women voter pres-
ent that the hope of the American people
at this time- was In the purity of the
ballot box and their entrance unon the
scene at this time waa moat Dronltlttoua.
as he felt sure that no woman would vt

Over Austrian Defeat -.
By Austin West.

(Copyright 1S1.)
MILAN. July 4. The . latest German
and Austrian newspapers received hard
afford truly delicious reading about th
Austrian defeat Th Bayerlsch Kurrlr
brands Field Marshal Hoets-.endorf as a
rash stuck up ignoramus who hss never
shown any mark of military ability and
expresses the hope that Emperor Karl
will have the good sense to place on a
shelf forthwith. r
Even Generalissimo Boroevio failed to
give any proof of unusual capacity says
the German organ and after the miser
ably poor show made by the other Aus-1
trian commanaers tne saiser nas no
option buf to force Austria to accept the
German general staff lest the whole Teu-
tonic alliance become Involved in military
disaster.
The Llepxlnger Tageblat defines the
worse fault of the Austrian marshals as
their having missed to secure even the
initial success of a general surprise.
On the other hand the Dresden Nusste
Nachrichten seems to console German dls-1
appointment at "the alight want of suc-
cess of the Austrian arms" by the as-
surance that Austrian reinforcements ar
already on the march to give a terrific
battle eisewnere ana tnat mucn sooner
than might be expected Italy will learn
how inferior she is and how untentable
are her positions.
The Wlenner Tagebtatt in holdlnr out
the same hope tries to disarm the bitter
German criticism by show in a that the
thwarted Austrian plana had the explicit
approval oi tne uerman stair.
The most comic side; of the picture 1
found ia the fact that th supreme com
mander tne ArcnauKe uugene. In antici-
pating an overwhelming Austrian victory.
