Buchanan;
"The Lincoln group will be par-

intendent Buchanan. "We have lost
one room we rented at St. Joseph's
school. This means the pupils us-
ually taken care of in this spare
room will have to be crowded into
one of the other already over-crowd-
ed schools." ‘
"While we' have no way of def-

buildings now under construction.

"In the senior high school condi-
tions are different While there will
be only about at. enrolled at the
opening of the school, the beginning
of the second half year will find an-
other 100 pupils enrolled in the

be able to accommodate these addi-

"The contract for the construction

Dressed in an exquisite costume of

years ago, she sang the “Mousetta

evident youth of Miss Howard. the
unusual lovliness of her costume and

ed to make an extremely favorable
impression upon her audience. Ab
an encore she offered Lieuiance's

it was lovely. Miss Miller's work
and the excellent quality of her
voice was already well known to
many local residents and her sing-
ing of Saturday evening but added
further to her iatirels.
A recital of the latest dance and
classical numbers played on the

orites as "Coming Thru the Rye."
“The Last Rose of Summer" and
"Annie Laurie." An artist of talent
and poise seldom found in one of

Following another program by the
Carl Schmidt orchestra the gram
was brought to a close at 1 P. M.
with a pregrsm of songs by Miss
Miller. Miss Miller included in her
progrém. Scott’s "False Prophet."

orders for a full turn-out and loyal
solid support of Robertson had come
from the Klan headquarters of the

laces Almost All Counties.
In only a few counties did Robert~
son receive a majority.
Surprise is expressed that Mrs.
Ferguson received the almost solid
vote of the Rio Grande border cou'
"tles. where the Mexican population
is large. It was thought she would
,lbe the Mexican vote because her
husband. ex~Gov. James E. Fergu-
son. declared in his speeches he
“would rather have 100 Japanese in
Texas than a. dozen Mexicans."
The Democratic State convention
at which the nomination of Mrs.
Ferguson will be ratified and a plat-
form of policies and principles
adopted. will be held here Sept. 2.
It was stated today that Mrs. Fer;
gusorp will attend and address tlm
convention. Preparations are bk".
made to accord her a state welcon. .
upon her arrival here.
Is Asked to Speak in North.
According to a despatch from
Washington. Mrs. Ferguson is to L'
invited to make speech‘es for the
Democrat national ticket in‘the
East and orth. It is stated on good
authority. however. that she will de—
cline this invitation on the ground
she is not a public speaker.
If the National Campaign Commit-
tee is willing to accept Mr. Fergu-
son for speech-making purposes his
wife will be glad to let him substi-
tute for her. it is explained.
It is the general belief in political
circles that the defeat of Robertson
sounds the death knell of the Klan
as a political factor in Texas.
What! the state convention meets.
a resolution will be offered reading
out of the party all members of the
Klan. also one'for the removall or

grounds that they obtained their of-
