the committee gave a voice vote
of confidence to Ita national com-
mitteewoman and committeeman
and ita state officers. No ‘‘noes”
were heard to the crowded com-
mittee room.
Jack Porter. Houston oilman who
is opposing the national committee-
man, Henry Zweifel of Fort Worth,
sat silently in the room.
"No—no comment,” he told re-
porters when the meeting was over.
A by-stander remarked, * You
were awfully quiet,” and Porter
just grinned.
One ripple disturbed the surface.
George D. Murphey of Galveston
made a motion that the Republi-
cana select their nominees by the
primary system (as the Democrats
do). But his motion died for lack
of a second.
No mention was made whatsoever
during the meeting of the rift that
has split the party, with supporters
of Gen. Robert Taft of Ohio ar-
rayed against the backers of Gen.
Dwight D. Eisenhower for the GOP
presidential nomination.
In opening the meeting, Chair-
man Orville Bullington of Wichita
Falls remarked that he would like
the committee's co-counsel to give
him briefs on Texas’ new election
laws, saying, "I promise I’ll read
them. If they don’t get too heavy,
between now and state convention
time. I understand there are likely
to be some contests—that's whst
I read in the paper.”
Nolte made the motion that the
party select its candidates by con-
vention. It was passed an voice
vote, and no “noes” were heard.
It waa known that the committee
secretary, Carlos Watson of
Brownsville, came to Fort Worth
with copies of two resolutions in
his pockets-one calling for the
convention system snd one for the
primary system—to be prepared to
either ease.
It waa also known that to the
smoke-filled rooms of the meeting
hotel tost night the Taft supporters
mulled over calling for ths primary
system.
Zweifel, who to state campaign
manager for Taft, has charged that
many of the Eisenhower supporters
sre Democrats and not true Re-
publicans. Holding Republican pri-
maries would have put the alleged
Democrats who support Eisenhow-
er on the spot.
But the question of money for the
primaries came up.
Bullington, when he called the
meeting to order, said that its
purpose waa to decide whether to
select Republican candidates by
convention or primary—although,
I don't know where we’d get the
money to do that (meaning bold
primaries)."
