A number of newspapers
in Texas have endorsed
Judge Jim Vollers' bid to
remain on the Texas Court
of Criminal Appeals..
Vollers was appointed to
the newly- expanded court
last December by Gov.
Dolph Briscoe.
Among the papers en-
dorsing Vollers are the El
Paso Times, the Beaumont
Enterprise, the Port Ar-
thur News, the Victoria
Advocate and the Wichita
Falls Times and Record
News.
The Beaumont paper
said, "Vollers believes
every person charged with
a crime deserves a speedy
trial, but at the same time
thinks the rights of the
public must also be
preserved."
The Wichita Falls paper
said Vollers is "aware of

rights of the accused."

Says, We MUST
Hold The Line On Taxes'.
"I pledge to work to hold the line
on any new taxes. I have a plan to
accomplish this by sound
planning, financial management,
careful budgeting, close
�y examination of any new services or
programs and cutting out
wasteful spending.
31 states now have legalized and regulated wagering on
horseracing. It's been a boon to all. The pari - mutuel system has
allowed those states to build and support beautiful tracks. And, where
quality racing is encouraged the horse breeding and training industry
flourishes, producing more jobs and added income for local com-
munities.
Horsepacing is not contpolled by the Underwopld. It's
supervised and regulated by the racing industry itself which is dedicated
to keeping it the healthiest, best managed and most honest sport in
America.
The U.S. Congress committee on crime reported, "In general,
the horse tracks of the country are operated with integrity and the
industry deserves the confidence of the people."
The Texas Senate Interim Study Committee concluded, "Horse -
racing is no more likely to fall victim to organized crime than any other
industry. Rather, it's a perfectly legitimate commercial enterprise that
deserves the same freedoms and protection that other businesses enjoy
from government. Its self - policing methods and its role as an outlet for
individuals wanting to wager within the law can actually provide a
deterrent to organized crime."
Texas tracks would be non - profit, foundation. owned.
After taxes and overhead, racing revenues would go to charities and
worthy community projects.
Why should we lose out to other states?
Seven out of ten Texans are ready to go.
Lloyd Joyce says, ''The greatest
challenge in government is to
hold taxes to a minimum. At the same time we have to
meet the challenge of necessary planning for the
future and provide services that meet our tremendous
growth. I can meet those challenges as your next

Agriculture com-
missioner candidate Joe
Hubenak has asked
Reagan Brown to release
the travel log of the
Agriculture Department's
state -owned plane and his
calendar of personal
political speeches.
Hubenak said Brown,
who was appointed
agriculture commissioner
last week, has reported the
lowest amount of travel
expenses of any candidate
in a statewide race this
year.
"I have spent more than
$14,000 just on travel,"
Hubenak said, noting
Brown lists only $1,100 in
travel expenses.
"Appointing this man

commissioner was like
putting the fox in charge of
the henhouse," Hubenak
said, adding, "I don't think
he knows what public trust

the economy of Texas. Where we're losing out, the people of Arkansas,
Louisiana and New Mexico are cashing in.

On May 6th, Texans can have more
than just a vote in the U.S. Senate.
You can have a voice...
Bob Krueger is a national leader who can speak for the people
of Texas in the U.S. Senate. His voice is heard and respected in
Washington.
Krueger on:
Agriculture:
"I co- sponsored the Flexible Parity Act, voted for the 1978
Emergency Agriculture Act, and have introduced strict beef
import legislation."
Inflation:
"The only real way to halt inflation is to hold government
spending to a constant level, work vigorously toward a balanced
budget, and allow the real growth in our economy to take place
in the private sector."
Taxes:
"I will introduce legislation which would insure that every
American, regardless of tax shelter, will pay some income taxes.
My `Fair share tax plan' would help relieve the tax burden on
middle income families and small businesses."
Energy:
"While Texas consumers have been hit with higher utility
bills, we have been subsidizing the rest of the country with cheap
energy. We must have an energy program that doesn't discrimi-
nate against the consumers and producers of Texas."
Right To Work:
"I strongly favor the Right to Work law and will fight to
keep it."

John Hill
will veto
an income tax
...and Dolph Briscoe knows it'.
John Hill said when he announced for
governor he would veto any tax increase.
He has repeated that pledge many
times.
Why is Dolph Briscoe spending $1 mill-
ion in a scare campaign to misrepresent
John Hill's position on a state income tax?
Because he's losing. He wants to be
governor for 10 years so bad he will do
anything to win — even try to scare some
people into believing John Hill will raise
taxes.
John Hill has been a responsible Attor-
ney General. He will be a responsible
Governor.
And he will not resort to a scare campaign to keep himself in office 10 years
after he becomes the next governor of Texas.
"We believe John Hill is of the mold of enlightened "new South"
governors who have emerged in other states: fiscally conservative, yet
committed to progress and unafraid of change. Under his governorship
Texas can continue to prosper. He is no free - spending big - government
advocate; nothing in his background suggests that. We have no fear that
additional taxes will follow his election."
— Corpus Christi Caller Times
"Texas stands at one of the most critical junctures in its history. Such
times demand dynamic leadership from the governor's mansion in Austin.
John Hill offers such leadership. As Attorney General, he has shown himself
to be energetic, articulate and assertive. As governor, he would be an
active, accessible chief executive projecting a strong leadership image. "
--Fort Worth Star- Telegram
"John Hill wants to be governor, not simply hold the title. He will provide
strong leadership in working with the Texas Legislature, in appointing
competent people to state boards and commissions, and in insisting on
fiscal responsibility.

Long lines slow
Brazos County
ballot counting
When the polls closed at 7 p.m. Tuesday, some precinct voting
places still had long lines of people waiting to vote.
There were reportedly more than 400 still in line at the
university precinct at the Memorial Student Center at Texas
A &M. Those who were in line were identified and allowed to
continue voting, which is the practice on voting day for those
who make it to the polls on time.
But election results were not known for Brazos County until
nearly 2 a.m. Usually results have been tabulated by 9:30 a.m.
The last precinct box to be turned into the central counting
station at the Texas Data Center on 29th Street was from the
university precinct, Precinct 20.
Joe Barron, election judge at the central counting station, said
the delay was primarily due to the large number of write -in

votes cast on campus. He said the election judges on campus,
students Steve Hyde and Wayne Baker, did a good job although
they were "new at the game."
Also on campus was the problem of many university students
who were newly registered and who had not received their voter
registration cards. These voters had to sign affidavits stating
that they were bona fide voters. This also led to a slower return
from the campus.
But election judge Barron said there was no problem counting
the campus results because the election judges there followed
directions explicitly.
Some precincts reported they ran out of the printed envelopes
for write -in voting, but those which did substituted plain en-
velopes.
Mrs. George Draper, election judge of Precinct 24 at College
Hills Elementary School, said lines there were long in the
morning and around noon. The line dropped off around 6:30 p.m.
and there was no one in line at 7 p.m.
"There were more write -in votes than expected but no
problems," she said.
Not far away at South Knoll Elementary School, Precinct 8,
things were more hectic, according to Carra Zimmerman,
election judge.
"In eight years I haven't worked in an election where there's
been no pause in the line," said Zimmerman.
Voters were lined -up almost out of the school at 7 p.m.,
Zimmerman said. It took them until 8:45 p.m, to vote.
Mrs. Mildred Hendrix, election judge at Ben Milam School,
Precinct 14, said they did not have any exceptionally long lines
and had less than 100 write -in votes.
Nobody had to wait longer than 20 or 30 minutes at precinct 12,
Sul Ross Elementary School, according to Fred Rennels, Jr.,
election judge.
"We had a line before 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. We never got rid of
it," he said.
