Morris had carried Dallas County, and he urged his supporters to vote against Bush.
Morris told the Dallas Morning New of May 5 that Bush was "too liberal" and that Bush's
strength in the primary was due to "liberal" Republican support.
Between early May and the runoff election of June 6, Cox mounted a vigorous campaign
of denunciation and exposure of Bush as a creature of the Eastern Liberal Establishment,
Wall Street banking interests, and of Golwater's principal antagonist for the GOP
Presidential nomination, the hated Gov. Nelson Rockefeller of New York. According to a
story filed by Stuart Long of the Long News Service in Austin on May 25 and preserved
among the Yarborough papers in the Barker Texas History Center in Austin, Cox's
supporters circulated letters pointing to Prescott Bush's role as a partner in Brown
Brothers Harriman as the basis for the charge that George Bush was the tool of "Liberal
Eastern Kingmakers." According to Long, the letters also include references to the New
York Council on Foreign Relations, which he described as a "black-tie dinner group." [fn

of bidding on drilling contracts for Rockefeller's Standard Oil of New Jersey.
One anti-Bush brochure preserved among the Yarborough papers at the Barker Center in
Austin is entitled "Who's Behind the Bush?" , published by the Coalition of
Conservatives to Beat the Bushes, with one Harold Deyo of Dallas listed as chairman.
The attack on Bush here centers on the Council on Foreign Relations, of which Bush was
not at that time a public member. The brochure lists a number of Bush campaign
contributors and then identifies these as members of the CFR. These include Dillon
Anderson and J.C. Hutcheson III of Baker and Botts, Andrews and Shepherd, Leland
Anderson of Anderson, Clayton and Company, Lawrence S. Reed of Texas Gulf
Producing, Frank Michaux, W.A. Kirkland of the board of First City National Bank. The
brochure then focuses on Prescott Bush, identified as a "partner with Averell Harriman in
Brown Brothers, Harriman, and Company. Averell Harriman is listed as a member of the
Council on Foreign Relations. "Could it be that Prescott S. Bush, in concert with his
Eastern CFR friends, is raising all those 'Yankee Dollars' that are flowing into George's
campaign? It is reliably reported that Mr. George Bush has contracted for extensive and
expensive television time for the last week of the Runoff." The brochure also targets Paul
Kayser of Anderson, Clayton and Bush's Harris County campaign chairman. Five officers
of this company, named as W.L. Clayton, L. Fleming, Maurice McAshan, Leland
Anderso, and Syndor Oden, are said to be members of the CFR.
On the CFR itself, the brochure quotes from Helen P. Lasell's study entitled "Power
Behind Government Today," which found that the CFR "from its inception has had an
important part in planning the whole diabolical scheme of creating a ONE WORLD
FEDERATION of socialist states under the United Nations." "These carefully worked
out, detailed plans, in connection with the WORLD BANK and the use of billions of taxexempt
foundation dollars, were carried out secretively over a period of years. Their
fruition could mean not only the absolute destruction of our form of government, national
independence and sovereignty, but to a degree at least, that of every nation in the world."
The New World Order, we see, is really nothing new. The brochure further accuses one
Mrs. M. S. Acherman, a leading Bush supporter in Houston, of having promoted a write-
