Clayton survives Brilab
seeks 4th term as speaker

AUSTIN — For House Speaker
Bill Clayton, 1980 began on a good
note, turned sour in midstream, and
finally ended triumphantly.
The only man to serve three terms
as speaker, Clayton, long before this
decade emerged, announced he
would seek an unprecedented fourth
term. He had more than 100 pledges
from the 150-member House, need
ing but 76 for re-election.
Then came the federal govern
ment’s Brilab case, in which the
Springlake farmer was accused of
accepting a $5,000 bribe. Clayton
admitted receiving the money but
vehemently denied it was a bribe.
Soon Rep. Gib Lewis, D-Fort
Worth, announced he would be a
candidate if Clayton had to step
aside. The other candidate, Rep.
John Bryant, D-Dallas and a Clayton
adversary, had officially announced
his intentions shortly before Brilab
broke.
Lewis and Bryant spent the late
spring and summer sparring over the
speaker’s race, with each claiming he
had the 76 votes needed to win the
election. But while the haggling was
going on, Clayton and his team of
attorneys won acquittal in late Octo
ber in a federal trial in Houston.
Lewis dropped out of the race,
and three days after the Nov. 3 gen
eral election Clayton made public a
list containing 98 pledges.
And with the opening of the 67th
Legislature on Jan. 13, Clayton looks
invincible.
But John Bryant is not quite ready
to give up the struggle.
He concedes he has only “a slim
chance” to win election on Jan. 13,
but he also stresses he has a responsi
bility to the 40 or 50 supporters he
has. He stops short of saying whether
he’ll put his name up for nomination
the opening day of the session and
force the members to vote.
“As long as the people who are
supporting me want me to be a can
didate, I will stay in,” he said.
“Someone has to stand up to what’s
fixing to happen — no one should
serve four terms.”
Clayton said he “imagines”
Bryant will continue to be a candi
date but said he was not concerned
the Dallas legislator’s candidacy
would pose any potential disruption.
Bryant also said he does not plan
to organize any anti-speaker coali
tion to lead opposition to Clayton
throughout the session.
“I don’t have any plans of any
kind,” he said. “I will continue to
speak about issues of importance,
but there isn’t any set plan.”
Bryant also insists he is a candi
date because Clayton’s power should
be challenged, not because he wants
to cut a deal with the speaker to gain
some power in the House.
"I’m not interesting in being
chairman of any committee,” he
said.
Bryant, who said he will keep his
options open regarding another
speaker’s race in 1983, said he
thought his candidacy had accom
plished something, if not victory.
“The way this system is set up,
four terms is not good for public poli
cy,” he said. “That’s why I became a
candidate: To offer a challenge to the
speaker’s power. ”
Switch can spell success
Gospel goes to Nashville
United Press International
NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Another one bites the
dust.
For ages, Nashville’s country and pop crowd has
regarded gospel singers with something approaching
disdain — almost untouchables. Now gospel singers
are recognizing that “crossing over” is not the same
as violating one of the Ten Commandments.
The Oak Ridge Boys started out as a gospel group
and proceeded to go nowhere as far as financial suc
cess is concerned. It took the group’s members near
ly a quarter-century, but finally they let their hair
down, put on some snappy clothes and began singing
pop-country. The result was immediate monetary
reward.
Getting songs played on the radio — thus impro
ving the cash flow — is an eye-opener in the music
industry. The Oak Ridge Boys’ success was not over
looked by The Rangers, the newest gospel group to
bite the dust.
Brothers Terry, Wally and Jerry Gilmore have
been on the road together nearly all their lives with
out attracting much attention.
One of the songs off their gospel album myste
riously began getting played by Chicago radio sta
tions.
Because the song won them some new listeners,
the Rangers decided it was time to broades
scope and hit the country music market, p®)
cause they enjoyed being in the musical mitt,
of Nashville.
They also liked singing country songs.
It wasn’t a hasty decision. The membs
group took a year off from the road to “stul
country music industry ” and rehearse a at;,
show. They listened to material, metand
people in the business, and watched the
were taking place in the business before kifc;
road again.
"We really weren’t afraid of alienating wp,
fans,” says Jerry. “That’s not something you 1»
do to make the switch.”
“Country audiences don't normally go to
music shows, but gospel listeners do,’ enplaii
ry, who also raises registered coon
world champion coon dog, Bean

“We just wanted to expand our audience »ij
changing all that much,” says Wally, a set '
pool shark.
The Rangers were named ‘'Ambassadorsol
will" for their home state of Alabama, andbi
formed in every prison in the state
