AUSTIN — Harmony may yet
come to the Democratic party in
Texas.
But it will come only if Gov.
Allan Shivers, Sen. Lyndon John-
son, and Speaker Sam Rayburn
get together—as they did when
they named Lt. Gov. Ben Ramsey
national committeeman.
A backer of Senator Johnson
as Texas' favorite-son candidate
for President suggests that the
Senator seek only the favorite-
son role and not attempt also to
be chairman of the delegation.
Both Shivers and Johnson have
been recommended as chairman
—each by a different faction—
Shivers by the conservatives,
Johnson by the liberals.
Mrs. H. H. Weinert of Seguin
Is the "dove of peace" in the
present controversy. She is.Tex-
as' Democratic National Commit -
teewoman.
She predicts that the state con-
vention will end up with two
delegations to the national con-
vention unless Shivers, Rayburn
and Johnson get together soon.
Meanwhile a full-fledged cam-
paign is under way by Johnson
boosters, for his nomination as
Texas' favorite son candidate for
President. Prominent T e x a n s
aligned with the movement in-
clude Speaker Rayburn, Former
Vice President John Nance Gar-
ner, Former Gov. Miriam A. Fer-
guson, and Former Congressman
Lloyd Bentsen jr.
Shivers, who likes Johnson in
the favorite s<yi role, but not as
head of the delegation, predicts
that his conservative group will
win out in the May 5 precinct,
May 8 county, and May 22 state
conventions. Liberals say that,
should this happen, they will
send a contesting delegation to
Chicago in August.
Newcomers Due in Legislature
New faces can be expected
when""'the 55th Legislature con-
venes next January.
Some 66 races—55 in the House
and 11 in the Senate—already
are underway over the state.
More filings are expected before
the May 7 deadline.
Some political observers pre-
dict an unusually large turnover
in both houses.
Of the 16 senators whose terms
are expiring, two will not be
candidates. They are Warren
McDonald of Tyler and Gus J.
Strauss of Hallettsville. Another
vacancy was created by the
death of Sen. Wayne Wagonseller
of Bowie.
Of those running, onlv five do
not have opponents. They are
Sens. Neveille Colson of Nava-
sota, Jarrard Secrest of Temple,
George Moffett of Chillicothe.
Frank Owen III of El Paso and
William S. Fly of Victoria.
Hot contests for the remaining
seats already have developed in
some areas. Senators facing cam-
paigns are Doyle Willis of Fort
Worth. Johnnie B. Rogers of Aus-
tin, William H. Shireman of Cor-
pus Christi, Abraham Kazen jr.
of Laredo, O. E. Latimer of San
Antonio. Rogers Kelley of Edin-
burg, Kilmer Corbin of Lubbock,
and Grady Hazlewood of Ama-
rillo.
Hazlewood, Kelley and Secrest
have not announced definitely
whether they will make the race.
In the House, 26 members have
said they will not seek re-elec-
tion. Five of these are running
for the senate instead. They are
Bill Wood of Tyler, Grady Hogue
of Athens, Joe Pyle of Ft. Worth,
Floyd Bradshaw of Weatherford,
and Carroll Cobb of Lubbock.
Twenty - eight other House
members have one or more an-
nounced opponents. One new
member will come in to replace
George S. Berry of Lubbock, now
deceased.
Additional Referendums Asked
Texas Citizens Councils want a
July primary referendum o n
school integration and mixed
marriages.
Petitions asking the Democrat-
ic Executive Committee to place
these questions on the ballot are
being circulated in 30 cities.
These would be in addition to
the interposition referendum pro-
posed by Governor Shivers.
"We're going for interposition
too," said Ross Carlton, head of
the pro-segregation organization,
"but we think more direct ac-
tion is needed."
Water Group Formed
Six major Texas farm groups
have joined forces to form the
Texas Agricultural Water Com-
mittee: Texas Sheep and Goat
Raisers Association, Texas and
Southwestern Cattle Raisers As-
sociation, Texas Farm Bureau,
Association of Texas Soil Con-
servation Districts, Texas State
Grange, and Texas Farmers Un-
ion.
Farm groups generally opposed
the water program presented
during the last legislature and
were credited with contributing
to its defeat. One purpose of the
new organization is to work for
the passage of water legislation
Historic Tour Planned
Texas, Oklahoma and Kansas
historical societies have joined
hands to sponsor a six-day tour
that will relive the frontier days.
Start of the tour will be at the
Alamo in San Antonio. Texas
stops include Austin, Waco, Hills
boro, Cleburne, Cresson, Weath-
erford and Fort Worth.
The May 1-6 program will in
elude dinners and dances and
Red River bridge ceremonies,
with historical groups along the
way actively participating.

Go forth, young man
...we can't use you here
Is this the word to our young people — able and beloved
they've finished school and are ready to stoat
making their own living?
when
COPYRIGHT 1936 0. K SCOTT
Too often it is, in the smaller communities like ours.
Why don't we have more Job opportunities and more
business opportunities right here, so that more of our
sons and daughters can establish their homes and be
happy and prosperous here at home?
Ifs partly circumstance. Partly the natural limita-
tions of the economy of our area. Partly because we
haven't been aggressive or enterprising enough to
build and grow more.
But it's also partly because many of us have let
ourselves get into the habit of spending too much of
our money somewhere else.
Every dollar that we spend away from home is a
dollar less to circulate among us and to account for 2
or 3 more dollars of added trade volume as it moves
from hand to hand.
Keeping more of this easily available trade volume at
home is one way by which we could create and sus-
tain more local opportunities for our young people.
And for ourselves.
YOU get everything that your money pays for . . . merchandise AND a trade-invigorated community to live
in . . . when you buy bom your home town merchants . . .
