But some of the contests were close. Incumbent Democrat Jim Mattox of Dallas, for instance, had to wait until well after midnight before pull ing ahead of challenger Tom Pauken with 52 percent of the vote. Ron Paul, the Republican incum bent in the 22nd District south of Houston, finally inched ahead of Democrat Mike Andrews early today by 2,800 votes with 14 precincts out. The outcome of the Paul-Andrews race was still not not solid early this morning, but if Paul held on for a win it would allow the GOP to pick one seat in the Texas House delegation — which will be composed of 19 Democrats and five Republicans. Other than Fields, the only new Congressman heading to Washing ton from Texas will be Democrats Ralph Hall of Rockwall and Bill Pat man of Ganado. Hall defeated Re publican John Wright of Tyler in the 5th District seat vacated by Ray Roberts and Patman, son of former Congressman Wright Patman, won in the 14th District where Joe Wyatt was forced into retirement by per sonal scandal. . Elsewhere, it was one easy triumph after another for the incum bents. Other than Paul, the three Repub lican incumbents who will serve at least one more term are Jim Collins of Dallas, Bill Archer of Houston and Tom Loeffler of Kerrville.
