Sh ivers Ch oice
Ends Speculation
For 1954 - 55
Mrs. Icle P. 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.
