Shivers Demands Mitchell Replacement for 1956 Bid
Texas Governor Allan Shivers demanded the national Democratic Party replace National Chairman Stephen A. Mitchell with a strong, middle-of-the-road leader to secure a presidential nominee acceptable to the South and Southwest. He spoke at his first formal press conference since his run-off election victory, defending his stance as a restatement of Texas independence and signaling plans to run the state Democratic convention at Mineral Wells.

Cotton Crop Forecast Shows Decline From Last Month
The Agriculture Department estimated a 11,822,000 bale Upland cotton crop for 1954, down from last month’s forecast, with yields averaging 295 pounds of lint per acre. States like Texas and Arkansas show lower than prior-year outputs, while overall supply supports continued plant controls into 1959. In Texas, municipal bond issues rose to a record 304 million in the latest fiscal year, AG Shepperd reports.
