Radio and TV Talk Slated Tonight in Texas Governor Bid
Sen Price Daniel said a statewide radio and TV address tonight will announce his possible run for Texas governor. He cited 29 352 voter replies showing about 65 to 1 favoring his candidacy and said he would time a resignation to avoid handpicking a successor. He noted he remains a lifelong Democrat and would back the party nominee in 1956 unless conscience dictates otherwise. Daniel sidestepped debates with rival candidate Reuben Senterfitt and avoided commenting on interposition or a Lyndon Johnson favorite son strategy.
