Peddy is receiving support fror

Peddy is receiving support from
Cullen F. Thomas, Clarence Ousley
and Senator C. A. Culberson, three
candidates in the first primary. His
manager is Colonel Henry L. Linds-
ley of Dallas, past national COM
mander of the American Legion.
A few sidelights on the campaign
While Peddy was at the state uni
versity, he led a student demonstra-
tiOn against Ferguson. Ferguson
came back by vetoing appropriations
for the university. This led to Fer
guson's impeachment. But
When Ferguson opposed Mayfield
in the primaries, Peddy lent his full
support to Ferguson
And now Ferguson is appearing in
behalf of Peddy.
Reports are being circulated that
should Mayfield be elected, the Sen
ate will refuse him a seat on account
of his alleged Khan affiliations.
Opponents of Peddy have carried
the fight to the state attorney gen
eral, claiming his candidacy is il
legal as Democrats and Republicans
are violating election laws in endors-
ing the same candidate. They urge
this particularly as many of the
