16.—The
long-expected fight over the ap-
pointment of Hal Moeeley as chair-
man and John M. Gaga as a mem-
ber of the State Highway Commis-
sion started in earnest Wednesday,
when Gov, Ferguson sent their
name* to the Senate for confirma-
tion. . ‘
A number of tMngs happened
after the nominations were Wade.
In Lhe first place the Committee on
Nominations met and an outsider,
Senator A. E. Wood of Granger, a
Moody leader, gave notice of protest
against the confirmation of Cage
and Moseley. This started the ball
rolling. The committee took Cognis-
ance of the protest and adjourned
until Thursday, when action of some
kind will be taken, either a report
to the Senate or hearings set.
Members of the committee would
not be quoted because Its sessions
were executive, but- it was learned
that the membership is divided over
the question of Immediate action or
conducting hearings. One member
said with emphasis that the commit-
tee is certain to make a majority
favorable report on Moseley and
Cage, He also said » determined
fight will be mad# in behalf of
these appointments. He declared the
fight Is obviously against Cage, who
has three year* to aarve under his
appointment. Moseley’s term expire*
Feb. 1.
Use Threat of Revenge.
Some of those who favor the con-
firmation of Moaeley and Cage have
found e weapon to fight the oppo-
sition, seemingly, in the majority In
the Senate. They say eleven mem-
bers can defeat confirmation with
the whole Senate present, and that
if Ferguson appointees are caprici-
ously rejected for political reasons
they will have sufficient voles In
the regular session next winter to
retaliate against the Moody ap-
pointee*. In other words, it is said
that cause, and, good cause with ex-
tra black marks, must be shown as
justification for rejection at this
time, and not mere political expedi-
ence. Half the Senators will retain
their seats and a number of those
whose terms srs expiring will be re-
jected. It is this situation which en-
ables the warning to be given that
if adverse action viewed as persecu-
tion is had now there will be re-
venge in the future of the same
kind. The thought Is that eleven
Senators will be sitting next winter
who will stand hitched.
Those Senators who are opposed
to th* committee conducting’ hear-
ings on Moseley and Cage assert
that whatever its findings might be,
the whole Senate in executive ses-
sion will ge over the same ground
and that in the. interest of time the
committee should make its report to
the Senate without delay and have
the fight proceed. v
Section 12 of Art. 4 of the Con-
stitution provides that where con-
firmation is refused the office be-
come vacant immediately, and the
Governor "without delay" shall
make further nominations, but If *11
are rejected then the Governor
may fill the office after adjourn-
ment, the appointee to hold until the
next session of the Senate or the
next general election to fill the of-
fice. It is further provided that a
person rejected can not be rs-ap-
pointed.
The foregoing describes tbs posi-
tion of those favoring confirmation.

fact has been discussed by some of

Austin, Texas, Sept. 16.—Pros-
pect* of a Senate investigating com
mittee to look into th* expendi-
ture* of all candidates for nomi-
nations to Slate offices loomed on
Wednesday with the introduction
by Senator Murphy of Harris of a
resolution that would create a com-
mittee of three for such a pur-
pose and would appropriate 216.000
from the contingent expenses fund
fer expenses. The committee would
be appointed by she Senate at large
and would organise itself imme-
diately with full power to subpoena
witaeaaes. procure testimony and
pay witnesses and “to investigate
th# actions and conduct of all can-
didates for State offices, and th*
manner of securing their nomina-
tions for said offices, and the
method of securing contribution*
for their campaigns, the amount*
expended by said candidates for
nominations, by their manager*
and friends for and in their be-
half or against any candidate for
the nomination for any said office,
and to determine generally any
question relating to any candidate
for or in hi* behalf.”
The resolutions cslis for the con-
tinuation j»f the committee’s „ work
until completed, it having full pow-
er until the Fortieth Legislature
convenes.
The resolution was proposed im-
mediately on th# opening of the
afternoon seaaion, Senator Murphy
obtaining unanimous consent. Al-
though the resolution carries an
Appropriation clause of $15,000 for
expanses, Murphy asked that it be
referred to the Committee on Priv-
ileges and Section, rather than , to
the Finance Committee, which was
done.
WOULD MAKE VAGS |
WORK AT PICKING
Austin, Texas, Sept. 16—Law en-
forcement officers in the larger
cities of the State would greatly re-
lieve the cotton picking .situation
they would trrest rags’ and loiter-
ers and have them take their
i choice of going to jail or to the
cotton fields, State Labor Commis-
sioner E. J. Crocker said Wednes-
day. Th* Labor Department ia be-
ing swamped for appeals from all
over the State for cotton pickers.
Despite wages or $1.25 a 100
pounds of cotton pickers, together
with free transportation and, in
many instances lodging, water and
fuel, th# demand for picker* is far
from being met, Crocker said.
From East Texas Wednesday
came appeals for 7,000 pickers and
12,000 are needed in West Texas
and the Panhandle. A delegation
of cotton growers from the Big
Spring section of Howard county
was in Austin on a hunt for pkkers
and solicited the assistance of the
Department of Labor. It offered
to furnish free transportation to
laborers sad see they were com-
fortably housed and to pay the
maximum wages.
