.So concludes Harry Miller of Dallas,
one or tho 'two men la the United
Suites to serve under a woman in
kui:Ii a capacity, alter 11 mouths of
the Job.
With Mm. Miriam A. Ferguson as
chimin and her husband as first lieu
tenant, Miller can not hops to claim
anything better than third rank lu the
iiiuiy of politics. This position, how
ever, has a great advuntURo, the lieu
tenant governor avers: No one pays
liny attention to me.
While Miller finds the orflce not
greatly different from lleutenauey to
u limn governor, he nevertheless Is un
dergoing strange reactions. In earlier
years, he was a crusader against the
woman movement, lie never dreamed
be would seo a woman become gov-
enior. let, lu the nulumu of lire, be
HudH himself-wholeheartedly support
ing one.
In 1IM7, Miller voted for (bo Im
peachment nrtlclos against Mrs. Ker
guson's husband, then governor.
Later, ho mado a spoech attacking
i'ViKusnu. When the furm-lubor union
brought out Miller for lieutenant gov
ernor, however, ho found tho Fergu
sons were fighting the Hume opponent,
the Ku Klux Klnn. mid this situation
brought them together.
The lieutenant governor believes bis
captain is making a good governor.
Incidentally, when Miller was a
young lawyer, a New York streot rail
road company offered him a position,
lie declined on tho ground Unit he al
