Texans for Conservative Government circulates unclear political card
A whispering move in Houston surfaces as an unidentifiable group circulates red-tinged cards urging conservatives to back Don Yarborough in the runoff and Jack Cox in November. The cards claim a coalition of Conservative Democrats and Republicans could defeat Cox, while leaders deny knowledge of the slate and back office. The card also endorses Woodrow Bean, Desmond Barry, Preston Smith, Warmer Carr, Walter Keith, and Herbert Shutt with mixed liberal conservative labels amid accusations of a political trick to divide the party.
