speech that sold many dele-
gates, and when it came to a
showdown, the roll call vote
was 139-139. As a result, COPE
endorsed no one for the place.
PETTICOAT POLITICIANS
—A look at the roster of Demo-
cratic candidates for the legis-
lature shows 404 contestants
for 150 seats In the House of
Representatives, with 13 of
these women. And 'three wo-
men are among the 83 House
candidates on the Republican
side of the ledger.
Two of the 16 female candi
dates are incumbents — Miss
Maud Isaacks of El Paso and
Mrs. Myra Banfield of Rosen-
berg.
Texas also boasts a woman
state senator, Mrs. Neveille
Colson of NaVasota. She is a
veteran with 24 years’ service
in the House and Senate. How-
ever, Senator Colson drew a
four-year term last year and is
not up for re-election.
History shows that women
have had scant success In state
elections. One notable excep-
tion is the late Miriam A. Fer
guson, governor of the state
from 1925 to 1927 and from
1933 to 1935.
Whether their luck will be
better in legislative races in
1964—a leap year—remains to
be seen. It may be significant
to note that as of January,
1964, the number of Texas wo-
men aged 21 and over was esti-
mated to be a little more than
3,000,000, while their male
counterparts were estimated to
number less than 3,000,000.
FREE VOTER REGISTRA-
TION CONTINUES — Regis-
tration of voters who want to
qualify for free votes in federal,
elections will continue through
March 7. County tax collectors
are issuing the free receipts
which may be obtained by di-
rect personal or mail applica-
tion.
Holders of the free registra
tions cannot vote in state or lo
cal races, in constitutional
amendment or bond elec tions
-MMsMjte>»pwiklsJiitt'viow#*nsi-
dtnt, U. S. senator, U. S. rep-
resentative and congressman
at-large.
State attorneys emphasize,
.however, that the free regis-
tration receipts are good for
primary, elections, the Novem-
ber election and any special in-
volving federal offices during
the coming year. In other
words, those- who have them
can vote in their party primary
for seriator, congressman and
congressman-at-large or in any
special election for these offi-
ces, as well as the general elec-
tion.
Voters over 60 in cities of
apoplexy, third with 12 per-
cent of the deaths; and acci-
dent* of all kinds, fourth with
seven percent.
APPOINTMENT BY POPU-
LAR VOTE — Governor Con-
nally, who must make some 850
appointments during his cur-
rent two-year term of office,
deckled to let local voters-make
the decision for him on ap-
pointment of a judge for the
100th judicial district.
This district, which em
braces Carson, Hall, Donley,
Childress and Collingsworth
counties, lost Us judge with the
death of Judge Luther Gribble.
Connally said he will appoint
the winner of the Democratic
primary election to serve out
the reminder of the late Judge
Gribble’s term. He said, “Since
the election is reasonably close
at hand, it is my*view that the
voters Should have the oppor-
tunity to select a judge of
their choosing."
COURT SPEAKS — Supreme
Court sets arguments for March
18 on a Corpus Christi case
testing whether the new Sab-
bath closing laws can be cir-
cumvented by "emergency”
purchases.
Nueces County District At-
torney Sam L. Jones Jr. pushed
the appeal from a Fourth Court
of Civil Appeals decision that
Shoppers World Inc. of Corpus
Christi complied with the law
banning sales of certain items
on the Sabbath when it re-
quired purchasers to sign certi-
fications of “emergency” be-
fore buying.
However, Jones maintains
that the certificates amount to
a subterfuge, when more than
200 so-called “emergencies”
arise on an average Sunday.
SHELL SUIT THROWN
OUT—Texas oyster fishermen
cannot sustain a lawsuit to
nullify the State Parks and
Wildlife Commission order per-
mitting shell dredging close to
live oyster reefs in Trinity and
Galveston Bays.
So ruled District Judge Jack
Roberts in agreeing with the
position taken by the attorney
general's office that the oyster-
men have no vested interest in
oysters belonging to the state.
Therefore, they cannot appeal
the commission order.

to Miss Pegg, many housewives
