John Henry Faulk has been
many things in the 69 years of
his life: a radio and television
personality, a humorist and a
Texas folklorist, a constitutional
scholar and an author. He
added one other item to that list
onjan. 12 — that of Democratic
candidate for the U.S. House of
Representatives.
Faulk declared his candidacy
for the the 6th Congressional
District soon after former
Democratic congressman Phil
Gramm resigned his post and
announced that he was going to
run again for the seat he res
igned. Faulk faces Republican
Gramm and several other
Democrats in his campaign.
In an interview on Tuesday,
Faulk said he was running more
in order to force Gramm into a
run-off election than to gain the
House seat himself. If no candi
date in the Feb. 12 special elec
tion receives a majority of the
votes, the top two candidates will
compete in a run-off election.
That strategy is a response to
the “stunt” that Gramm pulled
by having the special election
scheduled for only four weeks
after his resignation, Faulk said.
Democrats need the extra time
to organize an effective cam
paign and to raise the money
needed to combat the. half mil
lion dollars Gramm is bringing
into the campaign, he said.
However, Faulk said he is a
legitimate candidate and he will

serve — and work against
Reaganomics — if elected.
Two of the problems with
Reaganomics are that too little is
spent on the needy and too
much is spent on defense, he
said.
“We need to re-examine our
whole so-called defense spend
ing,” he said. "We’re being tre
ated to a hocus pocus and a con
game.”
He said he sees parallels be
tween Herbert Hoover, a pre
depression Republican presi
dent, and Ronald Reagan, the
current Republican president.
Reagan, like Hoover, doesn’t

United Press International
HOUSTON — A lawyer who
represented inmates in the pris

Department of Corrections is
punishing prisoners for testify
ing against TDC in a hearing last
year.
Donna Brorby said in papers
filed in federal court Monday
that eight inmates from the
Wynne Unit who were called as
witnesses have been put into
administrative segregation and
kept apart f rom the unit’s gener
al population.
TDC officials denied the ac
cusation.
