V A poll labor has taken shows that among people most likely to vote in the Democratic primary this spring, Don Yarborough has a 43% favorable image, and 71% are aware of him. For Jim Wright, the image is 40% favorable, and 59% know of him. Thus Don Yarborough was shown as better off with Democratic votes than Wright. Gov . John Connally had, among these likely voters in the Democratic primary, a 91% favorable rating and 100% awarenessformidable, indeed. One analyst of this poll has concluded that Don Yarborough could defeat Lt. Gov. Preston Smith, who has a 45% favorable rating and is known by 64%. V Smith, hoping to slide quietly past Feb. 7 without an opponent, still answered a few questions put to him by the Jacksonville Daily Progress: On the defeat of a 39-member Senate, Smith said, “I don’t think the people knew what they were voting on,” as 55 rural counties voted against the proposition. On four-year terms for statewide officials, he favored it, but thought the number of terms should be limited. On the war on poverty, “There is a lot of the poverty program that I’ve never particularly subscribed to.” V Rep. Bill Hollowell, Grand Saline, will hold a press conference Jan. 28 at which he might announce for governor or for some other office. To the Dallas News Hollowell said he is conservative “except in affairs affecting the indigent elderly people.” V Stanley Woods, the anti-majors inde pendent oilman in Houston, is talking about opposing Connally.
