Except fur a few local or dis-
trict races, the only real interest
on a statewide basis this year is
the U.S. Senate campaign.
Democratic candidate Waggon-
er Carr and Republican incum-
bent John Tower arc battling nip
and tuck down to the final
whistle.
The Jack of a contested race
for governor has taken most of
the spotlight and interest away
from this years balloting, a sit-
uation that has caused anxiety
among Carr supporters.
They fear that a small turnout
Nov. 8 will hurt Carr's chances of
overthrowing Tower in his bid for
a second term. And Tower's sup-
porters are hopeful that the bal-
loting will be light for the same
reason.
Elsewhere on the state level,
however, tin* Democrats appear
to be coasting to an cat/ victory
in all races
tn only one contest that f y
land commissioner have the Re-
publicans shown more than per-
functory interest, and even though
the tempo has shown some speed
up there appears little chance of
victory.
Stepping up bis pace is Albert
Fay of Houston, longtime GOP
leader and Republican national
committeeman who is cam-
paigning for land commissioner
against Democratic veteran Jer-
ry Sadler.
Fay is pitching Ids campaign
for an open door policy on activi-
tes of the land office.
Sadler, recovering from sur-
gery, is doing no campaigning yet
is expected to win his fourth term
with about the same case as h
whipped hi.s opponent, Fred Wil-
liams of Del Rio ,in the Demo-
cratic primary.
Gov. .Mm Coimaily is an almost
certain winner in his bid for a
third term
SJicmiM his liepublifjin rival, T.
E Kennerlv of Houston, manage
to pull off victory the upset would
be greater than T xas Christian
1'iiiversity s chances of beating
Notre Dam. '. football team.
The 62-year-old Kennerly utv-
successful GOP candidate for the
Texas Supreme Court in 19(54. got
into this year's gubernatorial
race only because his p^rty ?;ad
to have an entry to gain voting
strength at the next national con-
vention
Neither Kennerly nor Connally
hav campaigned and it appears
doubtful that either will engage
in any type of politicl activity.
The Republicans have entries in
si xother statewide races but have
shown no interest in campaign-
ing or eevn hinting at any type of
contest.
Two small, splinter parties also
have fielded candidates in some
of the state races but the entries
are making no concerted effort to
appeal to voters other than mem-
bers of their own groups.
The Conservative party has no-
minated Bard A Logan, a San
Antonio printer, for governor but
has refrained from naming candi-
dates for other stale wde offices.
A lull lap- of condidates has
been proposed by the Constitution
pa11\ but like its other splinter
rival, is doing no campaigning.
Heading this group is Tommy
Gillespie of Houston for governor.
Entered in the race for U.S sena-
tor Is James Barker Holland, also
of Houston.
Democratic incumbent Lt. Gov.
Preston Smith has competition
from a Republican and Constitu-
tion party candidates but appears
in no danger in Ids bid for a third
term.
Opposing him are Republican
Kellis Dibrell of Scguin, an un-
successful candidate for the job
in 1962 and William A. Johnson of
Houston, the Constitution party
nominee.
For attorney general, the Demo-
cratic nominee, Crawford Martin
will have little if any difficulty in
wnning lis frsi term for the of-
fce bening vacated by Waggoner
Carr.
Martin, former secretary ot
statr ami V>nc-time state senatwf
from Ilillsboro. has two opponents
neither of whom is campaigning
They are Rolib Stewart, a Rich-
ardson lawyer and Republican,
and John C. Williams of Bella Ire,
the Constitution party entry.
Seeking his 9th term as com-
missioner of agriculture is Demo-
crat John C. White who, like 'lis
other party companions, is ex-
pected to coast to an easy victory
over his two opponents.
Challenging the incumbent's bid
are Republican Jack Garrett of
Danbury and Derek C. Bownds
of Houston, representing the Con-
stitution party.
The Conservative party has a
candidate for land commissioner,
making it a three way race. Op-
posing Sadler, the incumbent, and
Fay, tiie GOP challenger, is Jo-
seph .L Tiller of Houston.
Robert C. Calvert, the longtime
Democratic state comptroller, has
two opponents. The Republican
entry Is Rudy T. Garza of Corpus
Christi. Representing the Con-
stitution party is Wilma McDanlel
of Victora.
Another veteran Democraic of-
ficeholder, State Treasurer Jesse
James, is expected to win anoth-
er term wth littl or no campaign-
ing. He Is opposed by Republican
Lawrence Daffan Gilmer of Hous-
ton and the Constitution party no-
