Progressives Enter
Slate Of Candidates
For State Offices
AUSTIN1, Tex., Sept. 10, (UP)
The Progressive party of Tex-
as has certified to the Secretary
of Siate its slate of Senatorial
and state candidates but omit-
ted certification of Henry Wal-
lace, the Progressive party
nominee.
The office of Secretary of
State Paul Brown announced
that the certifications were re-
ceived from Herman Wright of
Houston, chairman of the state
party.
Knclosed with the certifica-
tions was a letter from Wright
which said the Secretary of
Slate would "shortly be fur-
nished with a certificate show-
ing the names of the candidates
of the progressive party for
President and Vice President of
the United States."
in addition to their nominees
for state offices, the progressives
also certified the names of their
1!.'} Presidential electors.
However, under Texas law,
certification of electors does
not qualify the Presidential can-
didate's name to appear on the
general election ballot. The
nominee himself must be certi-
fied.
Those nominated by the Pro-
gressives for state offices in-
cluded:
United States Senator Drew
Nichols of Austin.
Governor: Herman Wright of
Houston.
Lt. Gov.: Rev. Stacy Adams of
Dallas.
Attv. Gen.: Morris Bogdanow
of Houston1.
Agriculture Commissioner: T.
L. Muggins of Farmersville.
Land Commissioner: Mrs.
Edna M. Smith of El Paso.
Railroad Commissioner (Un-
expired term): Joe Lire of El
Paso.
Railroad Commissioner: John
Gi bson of Dallas.
State Treasurer: F. M. John-
ion of Waco.
188 Unlisted Votes
In Dallas Bring Up
New Legal Question
DALLAS, Tex., Sept. 10—(UP)
—The Dallas County Democratic
Committee was face to face with
the problem of what to do with
180 untabulated ballots from the
Aug. 2S run off senatorial cam-
paign.
The legal teaser was uncovered
by a reeheck board that was re-
checking the race for Dallas
County Democratic chairman.
No votes, apparently, had been
reported to the county commit-
tee from one machine.
Involved were 113 votes for
former Gov. Coke Stevenson and
73 votes for his rival in the sen-
atorial primary run-of—Lyndon
Johnson. The recheck commit-
tee was powerless, however, to
pay any attention to these votes
because it legally was ordered
to verify totals only in the chair-
man's race between Arthur Stev-
enson and Dick Hatfield.
The Dallas County totals have
been certified to the state execu-
tive committee. A 10-day limit
for filing recheck petitions
elapsed Tuesday.
Johnson led Stevenson by 102
votes the latest unofficial report
of the Texas Election Bureau re-
vealed.
Fort Worth Business
Man Dies In His Car
FORT WORTH. Tex., Sept. 10
(UP)—A heart attack was ad-
vanced as the cause of the auto-
mobile crash in which Roy G.
Tomlinson died.
Tomlinson, a Fart Worth Star-
Telegram advertising represen-
tative since 1921, slumped over
the steering wheel of the vehicle
which was moving only about 20
miles an hour, according to a
witness.
R. E. Hancock, a barber, said
the car then crashed into the dis-
play window of the Southern
Maid Do-Nut Co. Damage to the
structure was estimated at $1,-
000 .
VFW Radio Program
Saturday To Bo On
U. S. Constitution
How to keep enemies of demo-
cracy from using the U. S. Con-
stitution as a refuge from Jus-
tice is discussed in a broadcast
to be sponsored by the Veterans
of Foreign Wars through Station
KXOX, 0:30 p. m. Saturday. .
Commander Carlos Morris of
Sweetwaster Post 2479 V. F. W.
cieclared today hi& organization
believes the Constitution has
been kept in the background so
long that few people have real
knowledge or appreciation of
that document.
"When anyone pleads his
'Constitutional rights' as grounds
for refusing to affirm loyalty to
the United States then there's
strong need for some revised
general education," Commander
Morris declared.
"We have witnessed that spec-
tacle so many times in reecnt
Washington investigations that
it's a wonder our people have
any clear understanding of the
document upon which this na-
tion and our way of life are
founded.
"The Veterans of Foreign Wars
is campaigning for more vigor-
ous recognition of the Consti-
tution and its anniversary every
September 17. We believe the
time has come for the courts to
interpret the Constiution as an
instrument of strength, loyalty
and of strong-handed justice
rather than a hiding place for
suspected traitors.'
The Sept. 11th broadcast is one
in a series of "Speak Up For
Democracy" talks sponsored by
the Veterans of Foreign Wars
Americanism Department and
the V. F. W. Post in Sweetwa-
ter.
