Doyle Willis Withdraws From Race for Speakership BY JAY VESSELS The Austin American Capitol Staff Representative Doyle Willis of Fort Worth, Thursday withdrew as a candidate for speaker of the State House of Representatives for 1951.

In fact, activity got so pronounced that less than a month after the session started. Doyle Willis issued a admonishing the dates to emphasize current state business rather than their ship campaigns.
