Texas Capitol Chatter Spurs Talk of Rifts and Runs
AUSTIN UPI Texas AFL-CIO President Roy Evans reportedly fired Henry Mu noz for criticizing Gov. Preston Smith at a San Antonio labor meeting. Mu noz was rehired after promising to keep anti Smith feelings quiet. Rumors have Gordon McLendon seeking a GOP governor bid, though GOP Chair George Willeford doubts the chatter. Observers expect McLendon to pursue a Democratic Senate run if involved. Yarborough disputes age as issue in race with Barefoot Sanders, while Sanders releases quickly after Yarborough’s conference. Faction members discuss party rules and representation at the national convention, with women and minority delegations debated. Jim Kane notes GOP headquarters staff cut from 39 to 17 since 1970. Democrats in Austin report only three employees in party HQ.
