TEXAS WILL HAVE A NEW U.S. SENATOR because:
TEXANS WANT . . . ■—~-
A VOICE AND A VOTE’lN WASHINGTON, John Tower
has demonstrated that he will stand up and speak up for
the Texas viewpoint. He is absolutely free of political obli-
gation to anyone. He has no influence whatsoever with
"Lyndon and Mister Sam" .... they have none with him
either!!! npumM—gittnti**-- - .
r TEXANS DO NOT WANT . . .-
A “RUBBER STAMP” FOR THE NEW FRONTIER. In
1957, Blakley voted with-Lyndon Johnson 100% of the
time and with Jack Kennedy 89% of the time. Last fall
he endorsed the Kennedy-Johnson ticket and the socialistic
platform of the New Frontier. He is clearly a captive of the
administration without a voice or a vote of his own.
