Democrat Connally and Repub lican Cox have been campaigning since long before last spring’s pri maries in one of the state’s first genuine two-party campaigns. They will be joined on the ballot by Houstonian Jack Carswell, the Constitution party candidate for the governor’s chair. Connally, 4.5, defeated five others in the Democratic primary, but edged run-off opponent Don Yar borough by only 26,000 votes. Cox was an easy winner over run-off opponent Roy Whittenberg and at tracted 600,000 votes as a Demo cratic primary opponent of Gov. Price Daniel in 1961 Carswell, a 39-year-old funeral home operator, did not participate in a primary. He is one of two Constitution party candidates on the general election ballot, being joined by comptroller candidate Joseph Rummler. STATE SEN. Preston Smith of Lubbock is meeting O. W. (Bill) Hayes in the lieutenant governor’s race, Waggoner Carr is facing T. Everton Kennerly for attorney general, Jerry Sadler and Albert B. Fay are competing for land commissioner, Ben Ramsey is meeting Bernold M. Hanson for a railroad commission position, John C. White and Harry Hubbard are vying for agriculture commis sioner, Robert S. Calvert, Mrs. Hargrove Smith and Rummler are on the ballot for state comptroller, and Joe Pool is meeting Dsmond Barry for congressman-at-large. Smith, Carr, Sadler, Ramsey, White, Calvert and Pool are Demo crats, Rummler belongs to the Constitution party and the others are Republicans. Throughout the state informal surveys have indicated a close race for many of the positions, especi ally for the governor’s post. The Belden poll, Texas’ equivalent to the Gallup poll, shows Connally in the lead, but indicates full Dem ocratic support on election day will be necessary to keep him there. MOST OBSERVERS have agreed with the poll that a light voter turnout might swing the margin over to Cox. GOP congressman-at-large can didate Desmond Barry is given the second best chance behind Cox of taking a win. Other Republicans expected to run close races are Pool, Hayes, and Fay. A regional breakdown shows Connally’s biggest support in East Texas, while Cox is expected to lead in West Texas. All other areas of the state, the upper Gulf Coast, South Texas, Central Texas and North Texas, are expected to give Connally a small edge. The pivotal region may prove to be North Texas, where Cox is showing considerable strength. Dallas, Fort Worth and Wichita Fall may decide the election, with voter turnout looming a vital fac tor. BRAZOS COUNTY, like most of Central Texas, is expected to back Connally, though by a small mar gin. The A&M faculty vote, which is usually Republican, will prob ably favor Cox. Connally, who resigned as Pres ident Kennedy’s Secretary of the Navy, is running on the basic plat form adopted at the state Demo cratic convention. These points include: 1. “To make Texas first in edu cation, first in industrialization and first in opportunity for all citizens. 2. “To promote economy, effi ciency and government reorganiza tion. 3. “To improve public health and welfare, particularly in the realm of mental health. 4. “To encourage tourism through improvement of state parks and development of a pro fessionally administered program. 5. “To strengthen law enforce ment.” COX HAS emphasized the “two- party state” doctrine and added the following platform planks: 1. “Election reform. 3. “Strong, new, aggressive lead ership. 3. “Holding the line on taxes and full industrial development. 4. “That Connally is an agent of Vice President Lyndon Johnson. 5. “Sounder economic govern ment spending Carswell, who has lost races for city councilman in Houston on two occasions, is advocating the fol lowing platform: 1. “Repeal of the sales tax, cut ting off foreign oil imports and increasing domestic oil production. 2. “Repeal of the urban renewal act. 3. “Revision of the mental health code. 4. “Establishing a tax program based on unimproved land values and in relation to the population and area.” LIEUTENANT GOVERNOR nominee Smith is advocating a boost in state tourism, new indus try and less government costs and taxes. His GOP opponent Hayes advocates the formation of a little Hoover Commission to control the state economy. He also favors lowering the state sales tax. Carr is running on only one plank—“s trengthening legal framework wherever it is needed and vigorous enforcement of all state laws.” His opponent Ken nerly, who was nominated by write-in, is a life-long Republican with a long law career. Sadler, White and Calvert are Democratic incumbents expecting little difficulty in reclaiming their positions. l^ed tciuran t 3606 So. College Bryan, Texas LUNCHES from 75^ on . . .

Like Mohammed, they went to the mountain— Bartlett Mountain on the Continental Divide in Colorado. More molybdenite is mined there than in the rest of the world combined. And from molybdenite ore comes the amazing “moly” grease that helps extend the chassis lubrication intervals for Ford-built cars. This grease sticks tenaciously to metal, stands up under extreme pressures and resists moisture, pounding and squeezing. It is slicker than skates on ice! New, improved seals were developed. Bushings, bearings and washers of many materials were investigated. Slippery synthetics, like nylon and teflon, were used a number of new ways. The search for means to extend chassis lubri cation also led to New Orleans-where experimental suspension ball joints tested in taxicabs in regular service went two years without relubrication. It took time. And ingenuity. But the effort paid off when Ford-built cars were the first to build in chassis lubrication good for 30,000 miles or two years—whichever came first. Another assignment completed —another “Ford First" and another example of how Ford Motor Company provides engineering leader ship for the American Road.
