ex-CIA director George Bush on the
Republican ballot. ,
The Legislature is scheduled to
adjourn May 28 and neither house
has voted yet on the proposal.
Lt. Gov. Bill Hobby, chief ar
chitect of the proposal, continues to

express optimism about what he
calls “the increasing force of logic”
winning converts, but the Senate
sponsor of the bill, Sen. Jack Ogg,
D-Houston, acknowledges there are
not enough votes now to put the
measure up for debate.
Under Senate procedure a two-
thirds majority is needed to debate a
bill, even though approval of a
majority of the 31 senators is suffi
cient for passage.
Sen. Ron Glower, D-Garland is
chief spokesman for the opponents
of the plan to allow conservative
Democrats to vote in the Republi
can primary without forfeiting their
right to participate in the later
Democratic Party primary elections
for state and local offices. He says he
has more than a majority of the Se
nate committed to vote against the
bill.
“I’m really going to try to bring it
up next week,” Ogg said. “But I’m
not going to go with it if the votes
aren’t there.”
Ogg said the pressure from politi
cal parties on the issues has been
greater than he’s seen on any con
troversy in nearly a dozen years in
the Legislature.
He predicts the bill will win sup
port of 18 to 22 senators, while
Glower insists he has 17 firm “no”
votes and might pick up one or two
more.
“I had as many as 20 at one time
— I have a core of 17 now and that
includes three of the four Republi
cans in the Senate,” Glower said.
Lt. Gov. Hobby said he believes
the House could act on the bill in as
little as two weeks and indicated he
is encouraged by recent reports that
Clements may support the separate,
early presidential primary.
Clements has said he has not yet
made up his mind and has indicated
he wants to avoid taking sides in
what is expected to be a heated bat
tle between supporters of Reagan —
who swept Texas’ 1976 presidential
primary — and Connally, who
served three terms as governor of
Texas before switching to the GOP
in 1973.
Connally, according to conven
tional political thought, would bene
fit most from an early separate pri
mary in which conservative Demo
crats could vote on the GOP presi
dential candidates without being
barred from voting later on the
Democratic nominees for state and
local offices.
Reagan, political experts say,
would fare better in presidential
voting conducted in conjunction
with party elections for other offices
in the 1976 Texas primary.
