LIBERTY CITIZENS THINK THEY
HAVE ANSWER TO '52 POLITICS
LIBERTY, TEXAS, Dec. 30
(Special)—Historic Liberty, third
oldest city in Texas, literally
buzzed during the holidays with
the talk of furnishing Texas a new
senator or governor in 1952.
The town’s native son, Attorney
General Price Daniel, and his fam-
ily were at home. As the Stated
chief lawyer walked the streets
where as a boy he had sold news-
papers. his homefolks speculated
more than ever about the part
their town would play in politics
of the New Year.
The last Liberty lawyer to serve
as governor or United States Sen-
ator was Sam Houston. He served
in both offices.
Price Daniel’s law office in Lib-
erty was on the exact spot where
Sam Houston had his office. What
is more. Daniel married Houston’s
great-great grand-daughter, Jean
Houston Baldwin. While living in
Austin temporarily, they and their
four children spend Christmas and
vacations here.
Liberty has had a long claim on
the fighting attorney general and
his family. His ancestors settled
here in 1824 and helped Mexican
officials build the town in 1821.
His great-great-grandfather. Hugh
B. Johnston, was the first alcalde
and engaged in the early conflicts
of the Texas revolution. This ac-
counts for some of Price Daniel’s
interest in Texas history and his
uncompromising fight to keep the
federal government from taking
the Texas tidelands away from the
State’s public Bchool fund.
All these bits of history are re-
counted as Liberty folkB predict
that the mantle of Sam Houston
will fall on the capable shoulders
of Price Daniel in 1952. They ad
mit after several days of visiting
with him that they do not know
which of the two offices Daniel
will seek, but they will give odds
that it will be the senate.
Neighbors Comment
A Liberty merchant put it this
way:
"Price Daniel has been fighting
against the Truman tidelands steal
and other federal encroachments
for several years. He never gives
up. He has some unfinished busi-
ness in Washington, some scores
to settle with those who robbed this
State, and you can bet that we will
win the tidelands in Congress if
Price Daniel gets a seat in the
United States Senate.”
A county official and former law
partner also believes Daniel has
his eye on Washington and is
waiting only for a decision by
Governor .Shivers that ho will run
for re-election instead of the Sen-
ate. This man said:
“Price is a natural-born fighter,
smart in the books, a forceful
speaker, and honest as the day
is long. His heart is in the fight
to save tho tidelands for Texas
schools, and he will iump at the
chance to run for the Senate
because he believes the fight can
be won thou .”
The homefolks would be proud
to see Daniel run for either gov-
ernor or senator, and nidging from
the way they talk and the way
they voted in his last con'osted
race, they will sunport him strong
for either ioh. His home county
gave him a vote of 4944 to 778
for his onuonent in 1945. the larg-
est majority received by any state
official in his own county. In the
last two elections Daniel has been
unopposed for Attorney General
When asked for a preference.
Liberty people almost invariably
speak of the Senate. The reason
is clear. They are fed up on the
scandals of the Truman adminis-
tration. mad about the tidelands
grab, tired of government raste
and extravagance, and djspleased
with the foreign policy in China
and Korea.
They believe Price Daniel has
tht nerve to oppose these things
and to “fight for Texas and for
honesty in government”, as one
man put it. They point to his fight
against organized crime in Texas
and predict that be would be as
good as Kefauver or Fulbright in
investigating corruption and de-
manding a housecleaning in the
federal government.
Above all. they point out that
Daniel has i.o obligations to the
Truman administration which
would interfere with or slow up
his work. They recall that Daniel
came out boldly, last October,
against the renomination of Presi-
dent Truman and said Texas should
lead the way in finding a Democra-
tic nominee who would respect and
uphold the Texas Annexation
Agreement.
Expert January Decision
It won’t be long now. Sometime
in January Price Daniel will an
| nounce one way or th% other, for
senator or governor. Liberty folks
are for him win. lose or draw, but
they’ll quickly tell vou that on his
record Price is not a “loser” or
‘drawer” but always a winner.
Thiir is backed up by a set of
solid facts which go back to his
boyhood w*h e n he delivered the
Reaumont Enterprise and Houston
Post in the mornings and ran a
laundry route in the afternoons.
Tt continued when he went to
Fort Worth to attend high school
where he won every debate cham-
pionship. edited a weeklv magazine
for Fort Worth high schools, and
was a cub reporter for the Star-
Telegram.
At Baylor University he majored
in journalism before taking law. He
edited the campus daily “The La-
riat” and the yearbook “The
Round-Up” and served as a repor-
ter for the Waco-News Tribune. He
holds A.B.. LL.B. and LL.D. de-
gree* from Ravlor
Returning to Liberty. Daniel
bung out bis shingle as a lawyer
ar< became eo-nuhlisher of the
Liberty Vindicator and the Ana-
buac Progress. He served two
vears as president of the local
Ft amber of Gommerce was presi-
dent and tear her of a men’s bihle
ela* s and Master of the Masonic
Lodge.
During bis eleven vear- as a
lawver-nuhlisher. he served six
vears in the House of Representa-
tives and was eWted speaker of
the house as another t ibute to
his leadership.
The armed services saw Daniel’s
leadership in two branches, the
Army and the Marine Corps. Waiv-
ing his legislative exemption, he
entered the anuv as a private and
emerged as a captain. Hr saw ser-
vice with the Marine Corps in
•lanan op special assignment from
the Armv.
As attorney general. Daniel has
gained nationwide attention for
his tidelands defense and his fight
nagainst organized crime. On the
latter, he was complimented in
the final report of the Kefauver
committee.
At 41. with a long list of
achievements behind him, he is
still just “Price” to young and old
alike in Liberty. They are ready
to help him make another step
up. and if they have their wish,
it will be in the direction of Wash-
ington. D. C„ and ihe United
States Senate.
