Blalock backs Thompson in Texas railroad race runoff
Myron G. Blalock urged Texas Democrats to vote in Saturday's runoff and support Col. Ernest O. Thompson for re election to the Railroad Commission, arguing Thompson fights for the little man and opposes special interests while criticising rival Frank Morris as unknown and ill informed about gas and oil issues. The appeal cites Thompson's broad endorsement and a near majority in the first primary amid oil and utility industry opposition.
