States Rights Debate Highlights Shivers Texas Campaign
Houston Governor Allan Shivers outlined the enduring states rights issue in the 1954 campaign, arguing for centralized government versus state authority. He named advisers including dreamers and one-worlders, condemned opposition for politicizing the Livd’s North America insurance case, and criticized labor groups amid a breakfast with Houston supporters. He rejected a blanket opposition to labor officials filing for public office unless tied to PACs, and cited Ralph Yarberough and Ralph W. Hammons’ Houston firm in his remarks on the Lloyd case and tax issues.
