Heavy General Election Vote Is Predicted
As Absentee Balloting Enters Second Week
The 1964 general election moved
into the voting stage on Wednes-
day, October 14. when absentee
balloting started at the office of
County Clerk Harry Wofford.
Absentee ballots may be cast by
eligible persons through Friday,
October 30. Election day is Tues-
day, November 3.
Adding special interest to this
year’s election are the "free”' voters
who can cast their ballots only for
national offices. A broad, black, line
extends across the ballot, neatly
dividing the national offices from
the state and local offices.
Persons who didn't pay their poll
tax. blit registered to vote for na-
tional offices, can vote above the
black line. Poll tax holders — and
others who are eligible to vote by
having just become of age and those
over 60 years of age — can vote
the entire ballot.
This sort of ballot was devised
after the poll tax as a requirement
for voting was knocked out by the
Supreme Court. Persons who can
vote only for the national offices
will be handed a ballot with all
offices marked out below the line.
Attorney General Waggoner Carr
recently issued a lengthy decision
on the matter of "free” voting. He
said:

for federal offices in the 1964 gen- "A qualified voter who expects

In addition to expressing their
opinions on national, state, district
and precinct officials in the Nov-
ember 3 General Election, voters
of Texas will decide on three pro-
posed changes in the state Con-
stitution.
On the ballot, as “for” or
“against" propositions, are what
could be the 156th, 157th and 158th
amendments to the 1876 Constitu-
tion.
None has stirred up much debate.
In their order, the amendments
would:
1. Remove the legislature's au-
thority to transfer up to 1 per cent
of the permanent school fund an-
nually to the available school fund.
2. Require notice to the public
and to the Texas Water Commis-
sion of intent to introduce legis-
lation creating or substantially
altering a conservation district.
3. Authorize the legislature to
enact a program, under the federal
Kerr-Mills Act, of financial help
for Texans 65 and older who are
not on old age assistance rolls but
who can't pay for medical services.
Since 1891 the legislature has
had power to shift not more than
1 per cent a year of the permanent
school fund into the available
school fund for current state school
aid expenses. It has used this au-
thority 12 times.
The permanent school fund of
$535 million is invested in govern-
ment bonds and some corporate
stocks and bonds. The interest and

this week that they must begin
obeying the stop signs erected at
intersections entering Main Street,
which is U. S. Highway 83.
City policemen have been order-
ed to crack down on drivers failing
to stop at the intersections.
Reason for the more strict action
is that too many wrecks are being
caused by motorists failing to obey
the signs.
Chief of Police Bill Rushing said
this week that beginning November
1, a citation will be issued to each
person caught in the act of violat-
ing tlie traffic law. The violation
carries a minimum fine of $5.00.
"This is a Texas Motor Vehicle
Law that we are being asked to
enforce, and it is for the protection
of one person just as it is another,'’
the police chief said.
Rushing quoted the traffic law
as follows:
‘‘The driver of a vehicle shall
stop in obedience to a stop sign
as required herein at an intersec-
tion where a stop sign is erected
at one or more entrances thereto,
although not a part of a through
highway and shall proceed cautious-
ly, yielding to vehicles not so ob-
ligated to stop which are within
the intersection or approaching so
closely as to constitute an immedi-
ate hazard, but may then proceed.”
