THE DEMOCRATIC PRIMARY
Saturday is drawing lots of inter-
est, and the Governor's race, al-
though not as "bitter" as the last
one, has lots of our people think-
ing. The big question is "Who will
be in the run-off?" Roundabout
doesn't know, but will guess that
in Cherokee County either W. Lee
O'Oanlel or Ralph Yarborough will
lead the 'ticket. Price Daniel will
flbe 3rd with either Senterfitt or
Haley in 4th place.
W. LEE O'DANIEL drew by far
the largest crowd of any of the
candidates when he talked here.
Around 750 people were in Rusk
to hear his hillbilly band and
6peech.
ROUNDABOUT HAS GIVEN ra-
dio time to all candidates for Gov-
ernor who appeared in Rusk, so
just about everyone in this neck
of the woods has heard them. We
have asked them all "what will
you do, if elected governor, to Im-
prove the deplorable conditions In
our state hospital ?" Everyone of
them has promised to support leg-
¡station to improve conditions and
raise salaries in the state institu-
tions.
THE BIG QUESTION IS . . . can
Pappy O'Daniel do it again? He
beat 13 of Texas' best politicians
without a run-off once . . . yet, you
couldn't find anyone who ever ad-
ipited voting for him. One thing,
even his worst enemies will agree
that he is an honest man . . .
Roundabout will go out on a limb
and predict a run-off this time.
Don't know who will be in it, how-
ever. If O'Daniel gets in the run-
off, he'll win in the 2nd primary
. . . but his big job is to get In
the run-off. Price Daniel and Ralph
Yarborough are mighty strong,
and have some ardent backers . . .
AS FAR AS OUR STATE HOS-
PITAL is concerned, O'Daniel and
Yarborough have committed them-
eelves strong . . . and Bill Daniel,
brother of Price, has said that
Price Daniel will Improve condi-
tion* . . .
AS WE QO TO PRESS, Round-
about is very happy to hear that
Mr. Minton Moseley Is reported t®
have rested better last night than
at any time since ho entered the
