AUSTIN, Texas — Texas’ political
hopefuls have only until 6 p.m.
Monday to file for office for the May
6 Democratic and Republican pri
mary elections.
Among those seeking statewide
office, only former Land Commis
sioner Jerry Sadler has yet to file.
Sadler, who has made a tradition of
filing five minutes before the dead
line, has said he is 90 percent cer
tain he will make a statewide cam
paign, but has refttsed to say what
office he might seek.
Meanwhile, the campaign for the
Democratic nomination for gover
nor — traditionally the highlight of
spring campaigns in Texas —- has
been underway for months.
Gov. Dolph Briscoe is seeking
election to a new four-year term
which would extend his tenure as
chief executive longer than any per
son in Texas history. However, he is
being actively challenged by Attor
ney General John Hill, former Gov.
Preston Smith and a lesser known
candidate, Ray Allen Mayo of San
Juan.
Rep. Bob Krueger, D-Texas, and
former Insurance Board chairman
Joe Christie are competing for the
Democratic nomination to the U.S.
Senate seat held by Republican Sen.
John G. Tower, while former
Speaker Price Daniel Jr. and former
Secretary of State Mark White are
battling for the Democratic nomina
tion for attorney general.
Warren G. Harding, appointed to
succeed the late Jesse James as state
treasurer, is being opposed by
Harry Ledbetter, a former Texas
A&M football player.
In two other contested state-wide
races, Rep. Joe Hubenak,
D-Rosenberg, is opposing Agricul
ture Commissioner Reagan Brown,
and former Rep. Ray Lemmon of
Houston is challenging Railroad
Commissioner John Poerner.
Comptroller Bob Bullock, Land
Commissioner Bob Armstrong, and
Railroad Commissioner Mack Wal
lace all have escaped opposition
thus far.
In the Republican camp, William
Clements Jr., 60, a Dallas oil drill
ing operator who served as deputy
secretary of defense, is seeking the
GOP gubernatorial nomination, and
is challenged by Ray Hutchison, 45,
also of Dallas.
Hutchison is a former state reprer
sentative, and resigned as Texas
Republican chairman to enter the
campaign. A third candidate, Clar
ence Thompson, 46, of Fort Worth
also is in the GOP race.

All you do is write a check.
At most banks the procedure for getting a loan is pretty simple: All
you need to do is call for an appointment, drive to the bank, see a
loan officer (after a short wait), explain your plans, complete some
paperwork, etc.
The procedure for a Bank of A&M Cash Reserve customer is even
simpler: All you do is write a check.
Cash Reserve is a pre-arranged line of credit for Bank of A&M
customers. It’s easy to qualify for, and the credit you establish is
yours to use on a revolving basis over and over.
No gimmicks. And absolutely no cost — until you write yourself a
loan. And the best part: repayment is automatically deducted from
your checking account monthly (at terms and amounts you
authorize in advance). No coupon books, no late payment fees.
For cash reserve checking, see the Bank of A&M. We’re more
than a bank because you’re more than a customer.
