Allan Shivers claims that he will support Dwight D. Eisenhower in the upcoming presidential election of 1956. Shivers and his pro-Republican associates potentially face a much tougher job in this year's election. The governor is retiring from office, and since the 1952 presidential election he has lost control of the Democrats in Texas. Now the liberal Democrats Lyndon B. Johnson and Samuel Rayburn have a better chance at controlling the Democratic Party in Texas. This demonstrates the political tensions between the Democratic Party in Texas, and Shivers adamant support for Eisenhower. However, Senator Price Daniel succeeded Shivers, and carried out similar policies in Texas, including segregation in public schools.
