Representatives of Texas Democratic factions travel the state as liberal Senator Yarborough and conservative Governor Connally steer political action without endorsing a presidential candidate. Connally plans to escort Humphrey in San Antonio while Yarborough hosts McCarthy in Houston. Connally controls Texas’ 1% delegate votes, diluting outright commitments for either candidate. Humphrey seeks labor and Mexican American support, with Nixon a potential fall ally if Latino voters shift. McCarthy projects fundraising through a Houston reception.
