Pro-tester Faction Wins In Texas House Vote
In Austin on January 31 the Bexar county delegation backed the prewar pro tester Young Democrats of Texas by a 71 to 26 vote. The measure, from Murphy Jr. and Kilgore, praised reorganization efforts of the group, while opposing views from Weatherford’s James I Ramayite faction split the chamber along lines. Several members voted for the resolution, with Williams noting a desire to avoid political entanglements. Latimer labeled the group as the right wing and favorable to the resolution.
