ff'l. Cf6 '?*ory 0 *• ejWalker, who already have advised the
State. Out of thirteen seeking: re-elec- ConnolIy family.
tion seven were defeated. Three did
not run again.
Three were eliminated in the first
primary and six forced into runoffs.
Of the latter, four were defeated.
Forced out in the first primary were
Albert Stone, Bryan; Doss Hardin,
Waco, and W. B. Collie, Eastland, and
in the second primary, Gordon Burns,
Huntsville; Morris Roberts, Pettus;
Will D. Pace, Tyler, and J. Manley
Head, Stephenville. Most of them
were veterans.
What so much new blood will do in
the usually staid and conservative
senate is unpredictable. How the new
men will line up on the method of
financing social security, including
old-age pensions and to pay the
state’s share of teacher retirement,
already more than $6,000,000 cannot
be foretold.
As a result of both primaries, the
score is fifteen holdover Senators, six
re-elected and a total of ten m
members.
Recently Rev. F. B. Shepherd, pas-
tor of the Church of Christ, who plans
to take one child of his brother living

and 5 years.
