A NecessityThe start of an election year always finds the talk of the

town turning to politics. However, many citizens cease their political interest with talking. They never seem to take time to voice their opinion at the polls.

With many important projects, both military and civil moving into Texas and Texas A&M in particular, the political picture becomes even more significant than before.

College Station residents will get their first look at the Democratic candidates for county and state position Satur­day when the first Democratic Primary gets under way at 8 a. m. Here they will receive their first, and in some cases their last, chance to get the man of their choice into office.

With the complexities of modern government increasing every day, it is not only an obligation, but a necessity for the people of College Station to turn out Saturday to vote for the candidate of their choice.

To find a parent more worthy of the honor would be a task as Mrs. Curry displayed exceptional courage and love for her son and husband in the face of almost insurmountable hardship. With both her son and husband in a very serious condition resulting from untimely accidents, the devoted mother did all possible to see her son through school here at Texas A&M and help her husband along to recovery.

And her efforts have proven successful as her son Bill is a distinguished student and is aspiring to enter the re­search field in space exploration and her husband is again teaching school in Commanche.

The unanimous vote of the Senate for the honor given Mrs. Curry was a very appropriate manner to honor a mother so deserving . . .

THEY KNOW that a bigger and better dam on the Navasota River will be assured by Teague's re-election to Congress.

THEY KNOW that Teague's seniority of service in Congress has given him the tremendous influence that gets the jqb done . . . and r di kly.

THEY KNOW that no one hss evsr had to appologize for Tiger Teague's actions during his 14 years in Congress.

And, they respect the judgment of "Mr. Democrat", himself, Sam Rayburn.

THE SPEAKER'S ROOMS HOUSE_.OF..REPRESENTATIVES

WASHINGTON, D.C.April 5, 1960

Dear Mr. Keller:

I have your letter stating that Congressman Olin E. "Tiger" Teague is being attacked in the district as not being a loyal Democrat. I have no desire to mix up in local politics in any district, but since you have asked me

I must give you a frank answer.

In my opinion, any assertion made anywhere that Congressman Teague is not a loyal Democrat is far from a statement of facts. I have him to be not only loyal to the Democratic Party and its orogram, but loyal to his his district, his state, and his country. I remember, when I was in charge of the campaign for the Democratic Party in Texas for 1^52, I found Tiger Teague loyal to the Party at that time, and he made speeches for the Democratic Ticket and also made a slate v/ide television broadcast for the ticket.I want to say further that he ranks high in the estimation of all the Democratic Members of the House of Representatives who honor him for his ability, his honesty, and his desire to be a real public servant.

Trusting this answers your question and with best wishes, I am

Sincerely yours,(signed)SAM RAYBURN
