Connally Courts Voters With Liquor and Betting Plans
Gov. John Connally urged legalized liquor by the drink and pari mutuel horse betting as Texas campaign fuel. He told the Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association in San Antonio that mixed drinks would lure tourists, and betting could spark a new state industry. He criticized rivals for proposing costly programs. Yarborough drew Albert Pena to his advisory team, praising him as able to deliver new programs for Mexican Americans. In the GOP race Eggers named Frank Cahoon of Midland to chair a statewide Elect Eggers Committee, challenging Malcolm Sisk and John Trice.
