Mann Flays Washington Interference In Senate Campaign

I Dies Declares Straw
Polls Lie About
Turn Of Race
BY UNITED PRESS
The last invading Mexican
left San Jacinto battlefield,
near Houston, more than 105
fears ago, but the place still
Seems to breed important poli-
tical events.
Tuesday night, at the base of
the monument commemorating
Gen. Sam Houston’s victory in
fhe fight for Texas independ-
ence Attorney General Gerald
Mann changed from a soft-
spoken candidate for the U. S.
senate to a lambasting, shout-
ing one.
to He said Washington interfer-
ence in the senate race “threat-
ens the independenc of Texas
for the first time in 100 years.”
He charged that “the tremen-
dous power of the federal hier-
archy” had been aligned behind
a rival, U. S. Rep. Lyndon
Johnson.
And he challenged the right
of anyone to “come to Texas, or
send word to Texas that any
Candidate must be crammed
down the throats of Texas dem-
ocrats.”
Mann chose the selfsame spot
where Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel an-
nounced the appointment of in-
Iferim Sen. Andrew Jackson
Houston, 87-year-old son of Gen.
Houston, after the death of U.
S. Sen. Morris Sheppard.
The attorney general warning
that he was not attacking
President Roosevelt, noted that
Johnson announced his candi-
dacy from the White House
steps; that Alvin .1. Wirtz re-
signed as undersecretary of the
Interior to manage the congress-
man’s campaign, and that Har-
old Young, assistant to the
vice-president, “left his .post
without resigning and made his
way to Texas."
“We have felt the pressure
brought to bear upon the count-
less numbers of federal em-
ployes and Texas citizens em-
ployed on federal projects,”
Mann asserted. “We have seen
obvious attempts to take advan-
tage of our great love and af-
fection for Franklin D. Roose-
velt.”
Mann said his ambitions be-
came a secondary matter “when
my right to be a free man . . .
and an American Democrat is
attacked."
He was not impuging Mr.
Roosevelt, he said, but "trying
to protect the president. I am
tired of seeing him embarrassed
by your (Johnson’s) attempts to
make political capital out of
Franklin D. Roosevelt, and
people of Texas are tired
it.”
At Austin, Johnson said
had “forgiven” his rivals
“misstatements” about him, be-
lieving that their better judg-
ment was over-ruled by fears of
defeat. And at Beaumont, U. S.
Rep. Martin Dies attacked the
veracity of recent straw polls
showing his opponents in the
lead.
Meantime, candidates’ figures
on campaign contributions and
expenditures, released at Wash-
ington, showed that wives of
Gov. W. Lee O’Daniel and John-
son have lent, major monetary
help to their husbands’ cam-
paigns.
Mrs. O’Daniel was listed for
"three contributions totalling
$2,333.55; Mrs. Lady Bird Tay-
lor Johnson was put down for
$2,500 donation to the congress-
man.
Appealing for endorsement,
by Texas voters of his cam-
paign theme, “Roosevelt anu-
unity,” Johnson pointed to the
activities of his three principal
opponents as indicative that

“Congressman Dies back home
trying to save his own congress-
ional district, the governor leav-
ing Austin and taking to the
road, and the attorney general
rushing back to his home city
of Dallas are enough said to in-
dicate what has happened,” a
Johnston statement said.
“When I am elected, I shall
work cheerfully and cooperate
with these three men . . . this
is no time for division or disuni-
ty.”
Dies said the straw polls
were “taken among known sup-
porters of other candidates and
people without poll taxes.” He
scored some newspapers for
employing “the propaganda
methods of the dictators in try-
ing to influence public senti-
ment.”
“Money can buy publicity, fa-
vorable polls and big noise, but
it cannot buy this election,"
Dies declared. Asserting that his
foes lack legislative experience,
he added:
“Texas needs a senator who
can get in the harness next
week. Now is no time to break
in a colt or attempt to plow
with a show horse.”
