Trotter was elected president of the Braz os county A & M Mothers’ club at a meeting at the YM- CA Thursday. She will be assisted by Mrs. Fred Weick, vice president; Mrs. Spen cer Buchanan, secretary; Mrs. A. P. Boyett, treasurer; Mrs. W. L. Penberthy, reporter; and Mrs. A. C. Magee, parliamentarian. Mrs. O. A. Ashworth was named delegate to the state federation meeting with Mrs. R. H. Sherwood as alternate. Mrs. Ide P. Trotter Brazos Mothers President Allan Shivers announced Monday he would be a candi date for re-election as governor of Texas “subject to the ac tion of the Democratic primary on July 24,, 1954.” The announcement ended speculation as to whether Shivers would run on the Democratic ticket or the Republican ticket, since he represented both parties in 1952. Texas voters are well aware that he also may still file as a Republican, a step which was declared legal two years ago. • Regardless of which party he represents, there are those who feel Shivers has such complete command of Texas voters that he could run on a laundry ticket and still win. His dram atic ability to put across a particular point borders on the flawless. Local voters who gathered at the North Gate in 1952 when Shivers spoke for the Republican candidate for presi dent will remember his forceful speaking manner. At one point of the talk, “Leaders of the National Dem ocratic party are using as a motto, ‘You never had it so good!!’” Here Shivers paused several seconds for effect, then shouted into the microphone, “WHO never had it so good ?” From the enthusiasm with which he filed for a tedious third term, we might be inclined to say, Allan Shivers, for one.
