Jackson Day Dinner Promises Pageant of Texas Politics
In Dallas on January 8 the National Democratic Committee and the State Democratic Executive Committee sponsor the statewide Jackson Day dinner with Jesse Jones as principal speaker. Attendance is limited to $25 donors to fund the National Committee for a year, aiming to raise about $20,000. A separate $2 Democrats dinner across the street raises questions about political maneuvering and potential gubernatorial aims. A centennial backwash in Dallas sees power shifts as banker-backed directors lose seats to Walter Herold allies. In Waco, Clarence E. Farmer gains an endorsement for Texas governor from the pensions for everybody faction after a floor fight.
