Shivers Plans for Texas Democrats Airing Agenda
Governor Allan Shivers is expected to air party plans at the State Democratic Executive Committee meeting in Snyder. The session aims to boost Texas influence in national Democratic councils in 1952 while questions about his own political future linger. If he runs for Senate or retires, Attorney General Price Daniel and Bascom Giles are viewed as likely successors, while John Ben Shepperd’s path depends on Shivers’ decision. The group may also discuss tightening the party pledge to keep Dixiecrat entry out of a general election year, with broader focus on the 1952 elections and a new Texas election code.
