‘MADE $2 MILLION’
Wilson Blasts
Daniel Affairs
AUSTIN—Atty. Gen. Will Wil
son said Tuesday night Gov. Price
Daniel has acquired $2 million
worth of Liberty County property
while serving as a full time public
official.
Daniel said Wilson’s statements
were “false and distorted” and
added:
The truth is my sister, who
served 10 years as my legal secre
tary, is employed by me person
ally to look after my personal
nroperty and I have never neg
lected service to attend to private
business or used it to enhance my
personal income from any source
whatever.”
Wilson, speaking in a previously
recorded speech carried by 23
Texas television stations, said “Let
ceed. The fact presented tonight
are based upon public records
available to anyone,
me make this clear before I pro-
“I do not accuse Governor Dan
iel of unlawful activity, but I do
believe these facts raise a serious
question of a conflict of interest
between his personal affairs and
your public affairs.
Wilson said he thought the gov
ernor’s office would be a full-time
job. “The people deserve the gov
ernor’s undivided attention—the
governor’s full, fighting energy.
They did not intend to elect a
‘moonlighter’,” Wilson said.
The attorney general devoted
most of his 30-minute speech to
Daniel. ..Near the end he described
John Connally as “a hatchet man
for Lyndon Johnson at political
convention” and said “I wish I
had the time to tell you tonight

for the expensive campaign now
being waged to buy your vote.”
Wilson proposed a “full disclos
ure law” for all elected state offi
cials and a “conflict of interest
law” that would prohibit any gov
ernor from engaging in pidvate
business while in office.
Wilson called upon Daniel to
join with other gubernatorial can
didates in making public “a full
disclosure of their personal hold
ings and of their current income.”
“Where did the money come
from for these land deals ? How
did he accumulate this vast wealth
while the State of Texas was going
almost $90 million into debt?
These are the questions that should
be answered.”
