Conservative Texas voters urged to back Calhoun and allies
A Texas editorial argues for conservative voters to support Calhoun, McDonald, and allied candidates in the upcoming May seventh election. It labels the socialist threat as akin to a Communist state and urges broad backing for Connally, Smith, Carr, Calhoun, Martin, Sadler, and Tunnell, plus Supreme and lower court judges. The piece notes confusion around the Attorney General race and cites Franklin Spears amid labor organizer allegations.
