state boards and commissions'
Here are his words, Tan you imagine the type
of appointments that would be made if my liberal
opponent got in' You might be looking at some of
the long-haired weirdos."
*MTM THAN FRKDICTKD that Yarborough
9 will get all Texas' radical votes, and he added
that he hopes Yarborough does because he (Smith)
does not want them.
(Smith, however, did not take the opportunity
to also disclaim any of his John Birch support )
Intelligent people voting for Yarborough from
all walks of life resent having their intelligence
insulted with statements like this.
Mho are these "radicals"?
There ls Kenneth Kendnck of Stratford who has
served as president of the national wheat growers
association as well as the state organization He
was appointed to Secretary Freeman’s advisory
board
There are district judges from Shamrock and
Sherman who were present at the Yarborough din-
ner last Thursday night.
There is Dee Miller, the intelligent former dis-
trict attorney at Amarillo who resigned to become
the Democratic candidate for Congress last election.
Dee supported NiH in the first primary due to per-
sonal friendship, but is now supporting Yarborough.
There is Walter Hall of Dickinson, president of
several banks in the Galveston area, an important
LBJ supporter who recently authored an article
defending LBJs policy in Vietnam
The article was reprinted by the Houston Post.
There are Drs George and Evelyn Powers of
Amanllo. medical doctors
There are Asa Willis of TexlJne and F. 0. Mas-
te of Wellington and Sudan, both millionaire ranch-
ers.
There is over half of Houston’s business com-
munity.
There are conservative legislators who just can’t
take Smith. Senator Grady Hazelwood is quoted as
saying Smith is the most unqualified man in Austin
for the job, or something to that effect.
Senator Hazelwood has been the conservative
Senator (ram Amarillo for more than a quarter cen-
tury.
There are hundreds of Swisher county residents.
These are some of the "hippies", "radicals."
"liberals," and ’ pro-labor" supporters of Don Yar-
borough!
Are these the kind of people who would support
a ‘ dangerous" person, a "radical” for governor in
times like these’’
Something funny happened last week. Don Yar-
borough says car insurance rates are too high in
Texas Preston Smith, who is supported by the in-
surance lobby, said " ’taint so, the motorist is to
Marne for high car insurance rates.”
The very next day President Johnson signed an
order to investigate why Texas car insurance rates
art so high!”
Don Yarborough promised us that as governor
he wiB go with Texas farmer delegations to Wash-
ington in seeking solutions to farm problems.
UM CANNOT PREDICT the outcome of Satur-
ww day s runoff primary We do know that Don
Yarborough. the underdog despite hi- strong lead
in the first primary, has a good chance to win
One computer predicts ,w will win regardless of the

No one would suggest that Preston Smith has
anything like the appeal Connally had in 1962 t»n

turity he didn't have in 1962 He t' really a much

tN THE LOCAL LEVEL, however, the problem
ts ditferent In the 1962 first primary. Swisher
went for Formby, wellknown in Tulia where he had
been a stockholder in KTVE, and a resident of
Platnview He received 826 votes while Yarborough
got o«lc 579 Connallv received 157. Daniel, 107.
WiLsoa. 191: and Walker, 5(
In the second primary. Don swept the county
with 818 votes to Connally s 349
Smith should do lots better in 1968 in Swasher,
however, than Connally did in the 1962 runoff
Smith, like Formby, will get a lot of local votes for
no reason other than the fact that he is -an old
country boy" from Lubbock, just as Formby was
‘ an old country boy from Platnview ”
In fact, it would take a miracle for Y’arborough
to defeat Smith in Swisher this time
It wouldn t take a miracle for Y arborough to
carry the state The last minute shift to his band-
wagon indicates that many are of this 'am* opinion
