Harris Oldest Candidate For Texas Governor
SAN ANGELO C O Harris of San Angelo the Republican nominee for Governor of Texas is back home receiving handshakes from friends on both sides and smiling at headlines calling him a willing martyr. At 78 he is likely the oldest candidate for governor in state history and his looks belie his age. Harris once headed federal patronage in 16 West Texas counties and helped name 200 postmasters here with a Democratic edge. A native of Illinois he moved to West Texas 50 years ago with the Sante Fe and has spent most of his career as an attorney. He prioritizes Landon Knox in the national race and plans a banquet attended by many postmasters and settlers rather than an active campaign.
