Two other Democrats were
also pitted against the Senator
in the "trial heats,” Congress-
man Jim Wright of Fort Worth
and retiring Congressman Joe
Kilgore of McAllen, now living
in Austin, both being mentioned
as possible 4i<»ntenders*n the
coming race. Neither of these
men bests Tower at present,
but they come close, even at
this early stage, before mount-

Against these Democrats, Sena-

than 36 percent support, and
