Moody Leads Texas Gubernatorial Primary in Early Returns
Dan Moody maintained a solid lead with 41 091 votes to Ferguson 231 060 as 228 of 252 counties reported. Moody must keep a majority to avoid a runoff while Davidson and others trailed. Ferguson urged resignation if Moody led by 25 000 votes, a claim denied by Moody who said the result reflects democracy. The Republican primary drew less attention, with Wurzbach leading Knetsch in early returns and regulars electing county chairmen in many counties.
