Silliman Favored by CRA Amid Three Way Lieutenant Governor Fight
California voters face a three way race for lieutenant governor as the California Republican Assembly endorses James W. Silliman of Salinas for the post. Harold J. Powers and Frederick Houser refuse the endorsement and pledge to stay in the race, with Powers claiming grass roots support and Houser possibly withdrawing. The CRA endorsement splits the GOP, while Democratic candidates hold the field. Silliman, 48, rose in the Assembly as a reformer and former speaker now seeking the top statewide job.
