As expected, there was a last
minute flurry of action Monday as
the deadline approached for candi-
dates to file for places on the
Democratic and Republican tickets
for the “Super Tuesday” primary
elections to be held March 8. County
executive committees (or both par
ties will now be meeting to decide
several items of business, one of
which will be the drawings to see in
what order the candidates will
appear on the ballot in contested
races.
Local races in Llano County drew
several new candidates on the last
day to file with county chairmen. On
the Republican side of the ticket,
Constable Thomas O. Hall of Pre-
cinct 1 announced he would be
candidate for sheriff. He will face
Jesse Richardson of Tow in the
primary and the winner will chal-
lenge Democratic incumbent Gale
Ligon next November.
Another development that was
somewhat of a surprise was the race
for County Commissioner Precinct 1.
Incumbent Ross Bauman, the only
Republican in the court, did not seek
re-election. Running for the vacancy
are four Republicans, Thomas Allen,
Andy Cash, T.A. Brown and Randy
C. Leifeste. There are not any
Democrats who filed for the race and
so the winner of the Republican
primary will not have a challenger in
November.
County officials assured of re-elec-
tion because of not having any
opponents include County Attorney
