By Hugh Williamson
Austin, Tex., Jan. 2.—Let’s
have a little quiz program.
Can you name your gover-
nor? If you said Allan Shiv-
ers you’re past the first test.
Let’s go on to the next one. Who
is your lieutenant governor?
Some of you were eliminated
by that question, but many
Texans recall that Ben Ramsey
of San Augustine defeated
Pierce Brooks of Dallas for this
office is a campaign last Aug-
ust. Let’s have a hard ques-
tion.
Who is the man most likely
to be named Speaker of the
House of Representatives ?
The answer is Reuben Senter-
fitt of San Saba. His election
is assured by the pledges of
other members of the House and
by the fact that he has no op-
position. The Speaker, you
know, is elected by his fellow-
representatives, and not by
popular vote. He is one of the
most powerful men in the stato
government; his influence com-
pares with that of the governor
and lieuteant governor.
What kind of man is Reuben
Senterfitt, who will occupw this
important posieion in the Legis-
lature which begins its session
this month?
He is a native of San Saba
County, where his grandparents
settled a hundred years ago. He
has two brothers and five sis-
ters.
As a boy, he lived on his par-
ents’ farm-ranch and went to
a two-teacher school. Later, at
San Saba High School, he de-
veloped into a good scholar and
graduated as class valedictorian.
He received various honohs
at the University of Texas,
where he earned a law degree.
He went back to San Saba to
practice his profession and was
elected to the Legislature the
first time he ran.
Senterfitt has continued to
serve his district in the House
of Representatives. Once he
was elected while serving over-
seas in the Navy.
He became known in the Le-
gislature for his intensive work
on important committees and
served as chairman of some of
them. He was House sponsor
of legislation that established a
veterans’ land program.
Senterfitt is a sober, serious,
hardworking man, but he has a
sense of humor and a pleasant,
slow, sincere smile. He is not
likely to do anything before he
has thought it all out first.
During the legislative session
he and Mrs. Senterfitt and their
three adopted children will live
in the Speaker’s apartment in
the Capitol.
Senterfitt believes that the
word “politician” should not be
used scornfully—that responsi-
ble people must serve in public
office if this state is to have
good government. He sees
hopeful signs. In a recent
speech he said, is his somewhat
classic language:
“It should appear wholesome
to us, and quite reassuring . . .
that out of the expansion and en-
largement of our state govern-
ment in recent years have come
men of character and stature
capable of rising above the old
label of politician.
“Their conduct, contribu-
tions, integrity and abilities in
many instances have restored
public confidence . . .”
As you read account of the
legislative activity, you will fre-
•quently see Senterfitt’s name;
perhaps, after having read this
sketc, you’ll fell you know him.
