CHARLES McCANDLESS IN ACTION
What Price Victory
This is the bill Price Daniel introduced in the 48th
Texas Legislature to forbid persons holding elective or
appointive office with a term of more than two years
from running for another office while holding the first
one.
He’d like to forget he ever wrote this bill, since he
currently is trying to hold on to his Senate seat and be
elected Governor at the same time.
H.B. 393—48th TEXAS LEGISLATURE (1943) :
A BILL TO PROVIDE THAT PERSONS WHO HAVE
BEEN ELECTED TO AN EXECUTIVE OFFICE FOR
MORE THAN TWO YEARS SHALL NOT BE ELIGI
BLE TO RUN FOR ANOTHER OFFICE WITHOUT
RESIGNING.
T. TEXT OF BILL:
An Act amending- Chapter T of Title 50, of the Revised Civil
Statutes of the State of Texas by adding Article 2929c; providing
that no person who has been elected or appointed to an executive
office in the State of Texas for a term of more than two years
shall be eligible to run for nomination or election to any other
public office the term of which would begin before the expiration
of the term of the original office to which such person was elected
or appointed, without first resigning fi-om such original office;
providing that no election official shall place the name of such
ineligible person on the ballot for anv election or certify his name
as a candidate or nominee; and providing for enforcement of such
law by iniunction proceedings and other remedies provided in the
laws of Texas concerning ineligible candidates: defining the term
“executive or administrative” to mean all public offices except
the Legislative and Judicial offices of Members of the Legislature
and Judges of the Courts of Texas.
Sec. 2. All laws or parts of laws in conflict with this Act or
any part thereof are repealed insofar as they conflict with this
law or any part thereof.
Sec. 3. The fact that it has been a custom for persons to
be elected by the people of Texas to certain administrative
offices for a period of more than two years, and in some instances
as long as six years, during which time the elected or appointed
officials have run for other offices during their “off” years, which
without reflection upon any such person, has caused much time
of public officials to be lost in campaigning every two years for
other offices while holding their original office and receiving a
salary therefrom, which practice has caused the people of the
State of Texas to lose much valuable time from their elected or
appointed officials, which time should be spent upon the jobs for
which they have already been elected or appointed, creates an
emergency . . . (followed by enactment provisions).

521, and General & Special Laws of Texas, 48th Legis., pp. 375-6,

Charlie McCandless, graduated
physical education major, has done
a wonderful job with this summer’s
intramural program. Charlie start
ed in intramurals in 1954 under
the guidance of Barney Welch,
the intramural director here at
A&M. This summer, in the ab
sence of Barney Charlie has taken
over and handled the entire pro
gram.
In addition to the planning the
program for the summer Charlie
has umpired two of the sports,
softball and volleyball, the other
two sports, golf and tennis, need
ed only a guiding hand and an or
ganizer of game schedules. The
amount of student participation
in the various sports tells the story
of its success.
Charlie’s own sports carrier in
cluded all sports in high school
and service football. He is now
a strong competitor in handball
and badmitten. He won the intra
mural badmitten title this last
year.
Charlie is leaving A&M this year
to coach at Silsbee Junior High
School. His main sports will be
football, basketball, and track.
These are the sports he rates at
the top of his list of favorites.
Charlie eventually hopes to coach
at the collegiate level and would
like to return to A&M as head
coach sometime in the future.
Charlie is married, has two chil
dren, both girls, and those of us
who have worked with him in the
intramural program know he has
a lot to offer his future players.

Nothing takes to the road like a Chevy!
Once in a blue moon a car like this
comes along-a design so advanced
in performance, so beautifully bal
anced that it stands out above
every other car on the highway.
It has a solid, sure-footed way of
going that makes driving safer
and more pleasant on any road.
And you feel a very special sense
of security in its rapid-fire respon-
You get more car when you buy it... more dollars
siveness to your touch on the wheel,
brakes and accelerator.
You can see that the ’56 Chevy is
a standout for style. But until you
have driven one you’re missing the
best part of the news — the fact
that Chevrolet is the smoothest,
solidest, most wedded-to-the-road
automobile you ever bossed. Try it
and see.
America’s largest selling car—
2 million more owners than any
other make!
when you sell it! Chevy has the highest resale value of the leading low-priced models!
