West Texan succeeded West Tex-
an when Senator H. L. Winfield of
Fort Stockton became acting Govern-
or of Texas this week on the depart-
ure of Governor Coke Stevenson for
Washington. Winfield was chosen
president pro tern of the Senate at the
close of this special session- He will
continue in .thjrt .capacity until ;j$e
next session, of tfee legislature—spec-
ial or regular. Since there is no lieu-
tenant governor, the president pro
tetn of the Senate has all the duties
of that office, including the duty of
serving as governor in the governor's
absence.
Winfield is one of the quietest,
and one of the most influential, mem-
bers of the Senate. He rarely makes
a speech, but gives close attention to
every detail of the Senate's proceed-
ings and often, with a few words,
clears up a disputed point to the sat-
isfaction of his colleagues. He is a
stockman and banker. His wife and
daughter are highly popular in capi-
tal society.
Coke Stevenson served five terms
in the House of Representatives and
sponsored much of the important
legislation of his time. He was twice
Speaker of the House and twice lieu-
tenant governor before becoming the
chief executive of the State on Gov-
ernor O'Daniel's election to the
Seriate. Yet thousands of Texans arc
just now getting acquainted with him
The answer is that Stevenson sim-
ply will not "show off". His reac-
tion to an iiivitation from Governor
Carr of Colorado to last week's Tex-
as-Colorado football game at Den
ver was typical. The Colorado exec-
utive invited the Texan to come up
and get Pike's Peak—won by a pre-
decessor in a football game wager—
for the trip. He said hi might go to
Colorado in the hunting season. ,
And thats about whit he will do
—just drop in on Governor Carr in-
formally in the course* of a hunting
trip^ He has already shot nib elk oir so
in Colorado, without'publicity of fan-
fare, a* he has shot den-, bobcats and
other sizeable game iir Texas.
