a tax program that will make this

against the great natural resour-
ces of the state, largely out-of-

Mr. McDonald is interested and j
on which he will state his posi- |
tion in the course of the cam-
paign, and he seeks the support |
of all citizens of the 14th Dis-
trict on the basis of his record
as a citizen and four-term member
of the Texas House.

sonville, moving to Bryan 30
years ago. He was admitted to j
(he practice of law since. Mr. |
