207 S. Main — 823-8366
By CAROLYN PATRICK
Austin Bureau of The News
NAVASOTA, Texas — Sen.
Neveille Colson, the only
woman in the Texas Senate,
faces her strongest opposition
in 28 years in public office
this year in her race with
Sen. Bill Moore of Bryan, a
strong campaigner with equal
ly long service in the Texas
Legislature.
Legislative redistricting for
the fifth Senatorial District
pitted the two veterans in the
May 7 Democratic primary.
Senators gave Mrs. Colson
an advantage when designing
the picture - puzzle district
which extends from near
Houston northward to just two
counties below Dallas County.
Mrs. Colson kept 10 counties
with 154,457 population from
her old district while Moore
kept five counties and 93,703
constituents. Some 30,763 per
sons in the district are from
new counties, Fayette and
Chambers, tacked on to the
bottom of the district.
A TOUGH RACE against a
seasoned campaigner has not
daunted the lady from Nava-
sota. And if determination,
hard work and the neighborly
approach mean success for an
East Texas politician, voters
will return Sen. Colson to the
Texas Senate.
She continues to do “the
things I do all year,” including
attending every county fair,
auction, rodeo and public gath
ering in her district.
The disappearing art of per
son-to-person, door - to - door
campaigning is much alive in
this Fifth Senatorial District.
Traveling wtih Sen. Colson
on the campaign is like at
tending a never-ending succes
sion of family home-comings.
Constituents greet Mrs. Col
son like a favorite aunt.
“She’s so friendly,” one wo
man remarked, “we sometimes
forget she is our senator. I’ll
never forget that when we had
a death in the family, Mrs.
Colson sent over a cake she’d
baked and came to visit.”
A Huntsville prison guard
remarked: “Mrs. Colson, you
don’t have to waste one of
your cards on me. You know
you have my vote.”
DURING A 4-HOUR string
of door-to-door calls in one
community, Mrs. Colson met
only one “undecided” voter.
Her reception at times took
on “testimonial” fervor.
“I call her the mother of
farm - to - market roads,” a
newspaper editor commented.
“People are not going- to for
get that Mrs. Colson brought
us out of the mud. At least,
those of us who remember the
muddy roads.”
A high school principal com
mented on her 100 per cent
record for education.
There are few issues on
which an opponent could criti
cize Mrs. Colson. In 28 years
in the Texas Legislature, every
bill she sponsored became
law, an almost unprecedented
record.
One senator commented dur
ing the past session: “If it’s
Mrs. Colson’s bill, it’s all
right.”
She co-authored the Colson-
Briscoe Act of 1949 which
guaranteed financing for rural
roads in Texas and led to the
development of the massive
farm-to-market road system.
MRS. COLSON bills herself
as the state’s only full-time
senator and is the only senator
who is not otherwise em
ployed. She shuns all labels
conservative, moderate or
liberal.
“When I vote,” Mrs. Colson
told The Dallas News, “I
don’t think of whether it’s a
conservative, liberal or mod
erate issue. I look at the bill
and apply it to my district.
I vote according to how it is
going to affect my district.”
Mrs. Colson is a quiet-man
nered, petite, fashionable wo
man who favors conservative
suits. She keeps hats and sev
eral pairs of shoes in her car
at all times to be worn as the
occasion warrants.
A former teacher and school
principal, she says she is with
out “big money support” and
is financing her campaign
through “contributions and
volunteer work of the home
town folks.”
DURING THIS campaign
she lost a major campaigner—
her mother, Mrs. Ollie Mae
Higgs, who has been in Bryan
Hospital several weeks with
a broken pelvis.
“Mother loves politics and
has worked so hard in every
campaign,” Mrs. Colson said.
“She often made speeches at
meetings that I couldn’t at
tend and once made a door-to-
door campaign that covered an
entire county.
Mrs. Colson took time be
tween meetings last week for
a brief visit with her mother
whose first question was:
“How is the campaign go
ing?”
Mrs. Higgs is keeping a hos
pital headquarters going in
her room by handing out cards
to visitors, nurses, doctors and
other hospital personnel.
The Lady of the Senate is
quiet-spoken on the Senate
floor and might often defer to
male senators for orations and
flamboyant political maneuv
ers. But in this campaign, she
is fighting hard and expects
to win.
MOST OBSERVERS hesi
tate to predict the outcome.
Mrs. Colson’s supporters are
strongly loyal in the 10 coun
ties which she retained after
redistricting. Sen. Moore’s
partisans are equally confi
dent.
The race sparks interest
through this East Texas area.
At a recent barbecue in
Brookshire honoring retiring
Congressman Clark Thompson
of Galveston, both Sen. Colson
and Sen. Moore attended, sit
ting on the front row and sep
arated by one person.
The local master of cere
monies remarked: “I’m glad to
see that both Sen. Colson and
Sen. Moore are here and that
they are sitting so close to
gether.”
The area is now in the Tenth
Congressional District of Con
gressman J. Pickle, who com
mented :
“I’m so glad to see Sen. Col
son and Sen. Moore here.
Races such as this are an im
portant test of our Democratic
system.”
Mrs. Colson is concentrating
heavily on a person-to-person
campaign, meeting as many
people as possible.
SHE HAS NO hesitancy
about stopping strangers on
the street, visiting every mer
chant on the downtown busi
ness stretch, and stopping at
every crossroad gasoline sta
tion.
Her campaign card is a wal
let calendar.
She keeps a schedule which
often finds her traveling at 6
or 7 a.m. and returning home
at 2:30 and 3 a.m.
She is never too busy to
chat with an old friend to find
out how the family is doing,
and to discuss local activities.
With this type of long-time
neighborly association, Mrs.
Colson hopes she has made
enough friends in the past 27
years to return her to Austin.
