New Mexico Election Campaign to Heat Up in 1956
The 1956 race in New Mexico will open with a return to direct primaries after the 1955 legislature ended preprimary conventions. Governor John F. Simms seeks a second term amid rumors of possible rivals, while Rep. A. M. Fernandez and Sen. Clinton P. Anderson announce congressional plans. Other races include Corporation Commission and land commissioner contests as the Secretary of State sets key dates including filing on March 6 and the May 8 primary.
