	James E. Ferguson - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		James Edward Ferguson (August 31, 1871 - September 21, 1944) was a United States politician from the state of Texas.
		During his second term, Ferguson vetoed the approriations for the University of Texas due to its refusal to remove members of their faculty which he found to be objectionable.
		Ferguson ran the campaigns of his wife Miriam A. Ferguson, who was elected to two terms as Governor of Texas (January 20, 1925 - January 17, 1917 and January 17, 1933 - January 15, 1935).

	Handbook of Texas Online: FERGUSON, JAMES EDWARD
		James Edward (Pa) Ferguson, Texas governor, son of James Edward and Fannie (Fitzpatrick) Ferguson, was born on August 31, 1871, near Salado, Bell County, Texas.
		Ferguson was reelected by a majority of about 60,000 votes, but opposition was sufficient to show that many Texans, including a number who were not prohibitionists, were displeased with his stewardship.
		Ferguson declared that the legislature constituted little more than a "kangaroo court," but only a few months before, both the House and the Senate had refused to sustain charges against him, and his removal from office was far from certain when the legislature convened in special session.

	Texas Politics - Governors: Miriam A. Ferguson
		Miriam Amanda Wallace (Ma) Ferguson (1875-1961), first woman governor of Texas, daughter of Joseph L. and Eliza (Garrison) Wallace, was born in Bell County, Texas, on June 13, 1875.
		Ma Ferguson pardoned an average of 100 convicts a month, and she and "Pa" were accused by critics of accepting bribes of land and cash payments.
		Ferguson continued her liberal pardoning and parole policies, but even that action did not stir as much controversy as in her first administration since every convict paroled or pardoned represented that much less fiscal strain on the state during the depression.
