TC Young Republicans recently honored Jim Sanders, treasurer of the Texas Federation of Young Republicans, with a party in the home of Marvin Williams. In a special meeting Jim discussed YR strategy for the ’64 presidential election with District Committeeman George Covington.
The election of Jerry Morriss as YR Chairman followed the resignation of Covington. Covington said he resigned to devote more time as district committeeman. He plans to use the TC YR Club as a cornerstone in the formation of a First Senatorial District YR Association. Other plans are to form at least one club in each of the 10 counties of this district. By cooperating, they could pool their resources for the ’64 elections.
TC YR’s will concentrate on Precinct 5A, the second largest precinct in Texarkana, which went Democratic in ’62. YR Jerry Cunningham is the precinct chairman.
YR’s feted Covington with a surprise birthday party, a wiener roast at Lake Texarkana November 2.
YR officers met with Joe Kinbred, Republican Field Worker, November 12, to discuss coordinating the YR’s with the senior party in the ’64 election. After resigning as Secretary of the Texas Federation of Young Republicans, Kindred became a Republican Field Worker.
Future plans of this political organization include a Thanksgiving party for YR’s of the Four States Area.
