...real woman has fared none too well in politics lately. A red-polled, 32-year-old Baptist last week headed Governess Miriam A. ("Ma") Ferguson of Texas back toward the cows and chickens whence she emerged two years ago to "vindicate" her impeached husband Jim. Attorney-General Dan Moody won the Democratic primary with well over 50% of the votes cast, thus precluding a "run-off" primary unless Mrs. Ferguson's husband-manager could establish his loud charges of poll frauds.

The advocates of the bill were led by Senator McNary of Oregon and Senator Gooding of Idaho. They included one Southerner, Senator Simmons of North Carolina, and such others as Steck of Iowa, McMaster of South Dakota, Watson of Indiana and, strangely enough...
...been so comforted by the assurance that a temple erected to their memory would lure "thousands of beauty lovers to come and jam its pews in search of the road to righteousness" that to find fault with the plans of suggest a different memorial would constitute a sacrilege. A Poll taken among men before going into battle might yield interesting results...
