Announcement and explanation regarding his vote and support for President Eisenhower for re-election: "A brainwashing campaign is being waged against Texas voters, to convince them that the party is the most important issue -- not the candidate. This campaign is being conducted by persons who hold positions of party power and who want to strengthen and perpetuate themselves in those positions. Political parties are important, but they are a means to an end -- not the end itself."
