Connally Links Oil, Gas Future To Ford
Former Texas governor John Connally backed Ford in a 25 city tour praising Texas oil and gas, predicting a close Texas race for Ford. He warned Carter supports oil divestiture and price controls and urged property owners to back Ford while criticizing Proposition 14 as encroaching on property rights. He declined all future political commitments beyond Ford and dodged questions about 1980.
