Republicans Seize News Conference In Texas Wallace Talk
In Austin Republicans framed Wallace as a campaign focus at a Capitol news conference. Patricia Hitt projected 55 percent of women would back Nixon, while John Hurd touted a poll to identify Wallace leaners. Paul Eggers estimated Wallace 20 to 25 percent statewide with 30 percent hard core, and predicted leaners would mostly back Nixon.
