Gov. John Connally remains
the dominant figure on the state-
house scene. He received over
1,800,000 votes in the general
election, to lead the Democratic
ticket.
An overwhelming majority of
Texas voters liked the Demo
ticket headed by native son Pres-
ident Lyndon Baines Johnson.
Republicans were left with lit-
tle tu be encouraged about. How-
ever, GOP leaders insisted their
party has “the zeal and spirit to
make a fast comeback” and will
begin the 1966 campaign immed-
iately.
Statisticians for the two poli-
tical parties have gone to work
to explain the tremendous Demo-
cratic sweep of Texas. One logi-
cal explanation of Johnson’s
landside simply was that 400,000
more Texans than ever before
appeared at the polls. And ap-
parently they were about all
Democrats. Turnout was some
88 percent of the qualified voters,
also a new record in this century
in Texas.
President Johnson received 64
per cent of the 2,700,000 Texas
votes cast (to 36 per cent for
Sen Barry Goldwater). This rep-
resented the largest total in a
presidential race since the late
Franklin D. Roosevelt’s 71 per
cent margin for a fourth term
in 1944.
Sen. Ralph Yarborough defeat-
ed GOP candidate George Bush
by carrying nearly 56 per cent
of the total. But Bush got more
votes than any previous Texas
Republican candidate for sena-
tor. The Houston oilman was the
first GOP senate candidate to
rack up more than a million
votes.
Republicans, although better
organized and financed than ever,
lost every statewide and con-
gressional race and all legislat-
tive races except one. GOP Frank
Cahoon of Midland won. In the
scramble the Republicans lost
two congressmen, Bruce Alger of
Dallas and Ed Foreman of Odes-
sa, and nine members of the
Texas Legislature.
Makeup of the Legislature in
general remains conservative-
moderate. Leadership will con-
tinue in the hands of Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith and House Speak-
er Byron Tunnell. The latter is
assured another term as speaker
on strength of member pledges.
Texas voters also approved all
three state constitutional amend-
ments on the ballot
In so doing they knocked oat
legislative authority to transfer
one per cent of the permanent
school fund; authorized the Leg-
islature to enact a program of
medical aid to the aged not on
welfare rolls but having diffi-
cutly paying their doctor bills;
and required bills creating or
substantially altering conserva-
tion and reclamation districts to
be published in newspapers and
cleared by Texas Water Commis-
sion.
