Regardless of Regularity

The victory, in the Texas Democratic primary for Governor, of Mrs. Miriam A. Ferguson, wife of a one-time Governor who was impeached, was hailed as a triumph of the anti-Klan movement. Last week it was followed 'by the resignation of Thomas B. Love, Democratic National Committeeman from Texas for the past four years. Said Mr. Love:

"I cannot escape the conviction that it is the duty of every good citizen, regardless of all consideration of party regularity and all other considerations, to leave nothing undone that legitimately may 'be done to prevent the restoration of Fergusonism to power in the State Capitol at Austin.

"For Governor I earnestly hope to be able to support some able, honest and incorruptible Texan, running as an independent Democrat, whose character and known capabilities and disposition for public service will attract the support of each citizen of Texas who is opposed to all that Fergusonism stands for, regardless of party or creed, and whose opposition to the Ku Klux Klan is wholly beyond question, so that this issue will no longer enter the situation."
