Texas Politics In 'Times Of Confusion' Is Called The Understatement Of This 1962 Election Year
By LYLE C. WILSON
Lnited Press International
WASHINGTON (UPIl The
most experienced political report-
er in this town took a look the
other day at Texas politics and
came up with the understatement
of this election year.
These he wrote "are times
of confusion."
The political reporter of course
is the New York Times Arthur
I Ilrock dean of the corps of Wash-
ington journalists. But the Texas
politics was not so confused as to
conceal from Krock the peculiar
stake of Vice President Lyndon
B. Johnson in this election year.
For the vice president and Pres-
ident Kennedy there is coming a
time of decisions. The President
must decide whether in 1964 it
again will be a Kennedy-Johnson
ticket or a Kennedy-someone-else
ticket. It is a ruthless rule of pol-i
itics that presidents may never
indulge themselves in gratitude.
Kennedy's decision on Johnson in
1964 will be therefore coldly
practical.
The Kennedys practice the most
practical politics observed here in
many a year. They learned it in
Massachusetts a better school of
practical politics perhaps than
any other except the state of In-
diana and Cook County in Illinois.
J Kennedy is greatly indebted to
Lyndon Johnson. Indebted first
because Johnson accepted the
vice presidential nomination when
Kennedy needed him on the 1960
Democratic ticket. Indebted sec-
ond because Johnson did what
was expected of him he helped
prevent a disastrous Republican
raid among the Southern states.
Johnson has served Kennedy well
as vice president.
All this is not enough however.
i to assure Lyndon Johnsons eligi-
bility for renomination. This is the
point at which Texas state poli-
tics gets into the story.
There will be six candidates for
the Democratic gubernatorial
nomination in Texas' May 5 pri-
mary. One of those candidates is
John Connally and John Connally
is Lyndon Johnsons man. Connal-
ly was Navy secretary when he
resigned to contest in the Texas
gubernatorial primary. It might
have been a shoo-in for Connally
but the opposition became unex-
pectedly tough. Gov. Price Daniel
decided to seek renomination.
And there it is.
If Connally is nominated and
elected Lyndon Johnson will be
politically secure well entrenched
within the Democratic fortifica-
tions of the great state of Texas
and reasonably assured of renom-
ination for vice president in 1964.
If Connally is licked Johnson
will be reduced to ranks in Texas'
Democratic party and the home
base fortifications will be com-
manded by someone else per-
haps Price Daniel. If so John-
sons eligibility for renomination
in 1964 will have much dimin-
ished. ...
Lyndon Johnson will be 60 years
old in 1968. It is reasonable that
Johnson is thinking that he might
win the Democratic nomination
for president at the end of two
Kennedy terms.
To be in the 1968 convention
contest Johnson needs a constant
forum and sounding board such
as the vice presidency. If John F.
Kennedy has other ideas about his
successor his first open hint
would be to drop Johnson from
the 1964 ticket.
