Saturday is a very important election day in
Texas and in Baytown.
We will help select a congressman-at-large to
serve until the state legislature passes a redistrict-
ing bill that will result in Texas’ 23rd congressman
serving from a specific district.
We will name a judge to preside over the new
165th District Court in Houston. Actually, he will
be nominated, but there is no Republican in sight
to make much of a contest of it in the general
election.
We will name two Democratic nominees to the
state legislature from Harris County. They will
have November opposition, but it will be token.
Chief interest in the first Republican runoff we
can ever recall wiii pit George Bush, a Houston and „ (
former West Texas oil man, .against Jack Cox, a congmssman-at-iarge.
Democrat of other years campaigning as a conser- v John Ray Harrison for Pos<-
Vttive in the Republican Party. tkm 11, State Representative.
Interest will be light in this election, and that J- E-(,4ke) Johmon tor P0*1'
makes your vote all the more crucial if you go to
the polls.
The Sun is greatl^interested In the candidacy
of Former State Sen. Robert W. Baker, who was
reared and schooled in Baytown. Sen. Baker is
running against a North Texan, and the odds are
against him. Only a superhuman effort on the
part of his friends and supporters in South Texas
can assure Harris County having a third congress-
man next January.
Judge George Cire, who has been in office only
a week as a result of an appointment by Gov. John
Connally, will add ability and dignity to Harris
County courts. You should vote to give Judge Cire
a full elective term.
State Rep. Herbert Shutt is seeking a second
terms in the state legislature. His record in his
freshman term, and his ambitions he hopes to ac-
complish in a second term are reason enough for
you to give Rep. Shutt your vote.
In the other state legislative race, Russell
Cummings, a well-known Houston business man.

primary
If those of you who voted for him then will do
it again Saturday, businessman Cummings will be-
come State Rep. Cummings. He should do a fine
job and add to the strength of the Harris County
tion.
