E. W. SAYERS
CONSTABLE, PRECINCT 7
BRAZOS COUNTY
SUBJECT TO ACTION OF DEMOCRATIC PRIMARIES
I would like to speak a good ’word for E. W. Sayers, constable
of Brazos County Justice Precinct No. 7 as County Commissioner
of Precinct No. 1, I have called on him a number of times when
someone had dumped trash in the County roads also shooting after
night along our roads or taking our road signs down and carrying
them off.
Also checking the county machinery and other equipment at
Wellborn where we have lost several truck batteries and gasoline.
He has never failed us yet and I would like to recommend
him to the Voters in the Precinct.
A certified peace officer certified by the Texas Commission
on law enforcement officer standards and education.

Governor
Joseph Alton Jenkins, Irving. Age
53.
List what in your opinion are
the five most important features
of a good consitution for Texas.
The new Constitution should be
(1) clear, (2) simple, (3) concise,
(4) workable, and (5) modern.
Such a constitution would save
this state millions of dollars a
year. Our present taxes would
give us revenue and to spare,
without any additional taxes
being needed. We would be able
to solve our water and educational
problems without further burden
ing the taxpayer, and while im
proving the quality of our public
service.
Would you support or oppose
the following? Please explain.
1 Reducing the crime possession
of marijuana to a misdemeanor.
I would narrow the legal mean
ing of the term “possession” so
as to limit it to the “pusher” or
“distributors.” These are the true
felons who should be in the pen
itentiary. The law now is so
broad that the “pushers”, “distri
butors” and their victims are all
caught in the same net. I would
not make felons of 24% or our
young people — the percentage
that admit having smoked mari
juana.
2. State Income Tax.
I oppose a state income tax of
any sort. It is not necessary.
Governor
Tom McElroy, Dallas. Age, 49.
Attorney - Businessman.
List what in your opinion are
the five most important features
of a good constitution for Texas.
1. Brevity and clarity; restric
tion of Constitution to fundamen
tal matters, eliminating excessive
details; 2. Unified Executive De
partment with greater appointive,
removal and budgetary powers
for Governor’s office; 3. Unified
Judiciary; 4. Annual sessions for
the Legislature; 5. Provision for
future amendment.
Would 3ou support or oppose
the following? Please explain.
1. Reducing the crime of posses
sion of marijuana to a misde
meanor.
Ye- except where the amount
possessed was excessive. Use of
mar ijuana should not be legalized.
2. State income tax.
I am opposed to a State income
tax, either corporate or personal.
We already have these forms of
taxes in our Federal system, and
the burden even now is all we
can bear.

It should (1) he short, with the

provide for annual sessions of the

powers in the office of Gover

(5) be a workable document to

1. Reducing the crime of pos
session of marijuana to a mis

I favor establishment of a
comprehensive habilitation pro

felony punishment for drug ex
perimentation is too severe. By
the same token, I believe push
ers should be brought to justice
and dealt with swiftly and firmly.
2. State income tax.

Democratic Primary Choices
Barnes 9 Campaign Marked By Discussion of Issues
A POLITICAL moderate out of the
John Connally mold, gubernatorial can
didate Ben Barnes has displayed rare
leadership abilities in his 12 years in
the State Legislature, including 8 years
as the presiding officer in both the
House and the Senate.
Since his boyhood days in DeLeon,
during which he learned the value of
hard work both on his father’s farm and
on the gridiron (he was a player of col
lege potential), Barnes has set goals
and moved steadfastly toward accom
plishing them.
He began his political career in 1960,
defeating a popular opponent for a seat
in the House by shaking almost every
hand in his district.
When Gov. Connally appointed then-
House Speaker Byron Tunnell to the
Railroad Commission in a surprise
move in 1965, Barnes became one of the
youngest speakers in Texas’ history by
securing pledges of support from col
leagues in a 36-hour telephone cam
paign.
Pragmatism has marked Barnes’
approaches to solving the problems of
government. If asked if he is a conserv
ative or liberal, he might respond as
Gov. Connally did to a similar inquiry,
“On what issue?”
It is significant that, while his oppo
nents have been discussing personali
ties, Barnes has concentrated his cam
paign on the issues involved in govern
ing Texas. He has not indulged in petty
criticism.
While attempts to tie him to the
Sharpstown scandal have failed, ru
mors continue prompting this comment
in one in-depth study of his career
“How ironical it was, then, that Barnes
who had worked for 12 years in govern
ment and had trained himself specifi
cally for the governorship, might find
that the innuendos and guilt by asso
ciation of the scandal — although he
was certainly not centrally involved
and although no charges of any kind
were filed against him — would form
the greatest threat yet to his remarka
ble career.”

SUNDAY, APRIL 23, 1972
For Governor: Ben Barnes
FOR GOVERNOR, The Dallas News
endorses Ben Barnes of Comanche
County who rose from the obscurity of a
peanut farm to become, before 30, one
of the nation’s outstanding state of
ficials.
have no question about his integrity and
ability and resent attempts to smear
Ben Barnes with the brush of guilt by
association.”
before Sharpstown, he advocated
reforms which could help prevent these -
periodic indiscretions.
Former speaker of the House and
now presiding officer of the State
Senate in his second term as lieutenant
governor, Etarnes is clearly superior in
these criteria which this newspaper set
in considering the candidates:
Knowledge of state government,
proved legislative and executive
ability, sound political philosophy,
personal integrity and voting record.
Barnes has been the strongest can
didate to push for constitutional
revision, for a sounder and less punitive
tax base, for changes in legislative
rules which would limit power of the
dictatorial 10-man conference com
mittees.
In 1970 he was named by the National
Jaycees as one of the top 10 young men
in America. And in that same year he
brought himself and Texas unusual
distinction by being chosen president of
the National Legislative Conference —
an organization of legislative leaders in
the 50 states.
He was the first candidate to attack
welfare abuses and recommend
remedies which would weed out the
cheaters and help those truly in need.
We agree with the assessment of
former Gov. John Connally, now
secretary of the Treasury, who
declared April 14 In Fort Worth: “I
As lieutenant governor, he helped
conceive and push the strongest ethics
bill among the nation’s 50 states, only to
see it watered down by opponents. Long
His list of achievements is long. But
to the Texas voter, this single recom
mendation in The News’ opinion is most
important: Ben Barnes more than any
other candidate has the youth, the
vigor, the talent, the knowledgeability
to lead this state in the critical 1970s. He
is not a status quo man. He dreams and
builds for a better Texas.
