DAN MOODY IS EN-
DORSED FOR GOVERNOR
Georgetown Mar. 2. Attor-
ney General Dan Moody Tues-
day was practically pushed into
the governor's race by a mass
meeting of Williamson county
friends here. Following speech-
es by half n score of Moody's
admirers in which they crticised
the Ferguson administration and
Lynch Davidson of Houston an-
nounced gubernatorial candi-
date a resolution petitioning
Moody to become a candidate
was unanimously passed.
Unable to return to his home
county because of illness at Aus-
tin the meeting obviously was
dampened by Moody's absence.
High tribute was paid him and
his career as a boy county and
district attorney and attorney
general which were reviewed1.
The resolution stated that ex
isting conditions in Texas de-
nrnnd one in the office of chief
executive "who wijl guard with
jealous care the expenditure of
the people' nioney in nil depart-
ments and who will prevent the
reckless and profligate waste of
public funds- and protect the
people of the state from avarice
greed and graft.'' .
It endorsed him to the demo-
cratic voters of Texas for govern
or and petitioned him "to be-
come a candidate for that office
upon the principles of. honesty
in office economy in the expen-
diture of public money and fair
and equal enforcement of the
law."
H. Ml Graves opened the
meeting on the platform of the
steps of the east entrance to the
courthouse. Adjacent streets
flag-bedecked were roped off
for the audience. He explained"
the purpose of the meeting.
Richard Critz of Taylorwho
was elected chairman of the
meeting declared that when
Moody had completed his first
term as governor that Moody
would need no vindication. He
said that it was time for the
people of Texas to vindicate
themselves and that the slogan
for Moody's campaign would be
"honesty in government and the
honest expenditure of the peo-
ple's funds." In his conclusion
he predicted that he would meet
the voters at the polls 500000
