is was a decision of the people,
of the money,” said Wright, who
be returning to Washington for
14th term.
ickhardt, however, proved to be
victim of a powerful effort from
ublican Jack Fields, in what was
of the most vitriolic campaigns in
state, Fields, 28, heavily backed
.oil money, ended the seven-term
ime of the outspoken Eckhardt by
iecting 51 percent of the vote in

around the state was either won—or
appeared to be won — by the incum
bent or by a member of the party
which held the seat going into the
election.
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.
