The Democrats say the Repub licans should hold the primaries. The Republicans reply that the Democrats should stay in their own political back yard. The fuss started in Houston, where State Democratic Executive Committee Member Walter G. Sterling said the Texas Election Code provides any party required to hold a primary must nominate its statewide candidates by a vote of the entire state. Harris County Republican Chairman James A. Bertron said the Democrats wpuld be grasping at straws by asking the GOP to hold primaries in every precinct. Bertron said the Republicans Will not hold primaries in about 50 Harris County precincts. Clyde Johnson, executive secre tary of the SDEC, said it was his opinion that names of Republican candidates should not be printed on the general election ballot in any county failing to conduct a primary election. “The Republicans are hoping, as always, for a free and easy ride into the general election,” Johnson said. Jim Leonard, executive director of Texas Republican Headquar ters, said that a concerted effort was being made to hold primaries in every precinct and county. “All we can do is urge every precinct and county dhairman to hold the primaries—the same as the Democrats do,” Leonard said. Johnson said he was sure the Democratic Executive Committee would take up possible action in forcing the Republicans to hold primaries in the next meeting, scheduled for Mar. 12. Johnson said, in reference to the Bertron statement, that “the Re publicans are openly admitting they plan to violate the law by not holding primaries.” Five of the nine candidates for governor scheduled appearances before the Austin Chapter of the Sigma Delta Chi professional journalism fraternity at 6:30 p.m. Wednesday. period set aside each year by the college to stress impor tance of religion.
