'''Marion Price Daniel Sr.''' (October 10, 1910{{spaced ndash}}August 25, 1988), was an American jurist and politician who served as a [[Democratic Party (United States)|Democratic]] [[United States Senate|U.S. Senator]] and the 38th [[governor of Texas]]. He was appointed by [[Lyndon B. Johnson|President Lyndon B. Johnson]] to be a member of the [[United States National Security Council|National Security Council]], Director of the Office of Emergency Preparedness, and Assistant to the President for Federal-State Relations. Daniel also served as [[Associate Justice]] of the [[Texas Supreme Court]].

==Early life==
Marion Price Daniel Sr (properly Marion Price Daniel II) was born October 10, 1910, in [[Dayton, Texas|Dayton]], Texas, to Marion Price Daniel Sr (1882–1937) and Nannie Blanch Partlow (1886 –1955), in Liberty Texas. He was the eldest child.<ref name="Daniel Ancestors">{{cite web|title=Daniel Ancestors |url=http://familytreemaker.genealogy.com/users/b/r/i/Howard-W-Brister/PDFGENE2.pdf|publisher=Family Tree Maker|access-date=1 June 2010}}</ref> Sister Ellen Virginia Daniel was born in 1912, and brother [[Bill Daniel (politician)|William Partlow Daniel]] in 1915. Price, as he was commonly known, was married to Jean Houston Baldwin, great-great-granddaughter of legendary Texas figure [[Sam Houston]]. As a teenager Daniel was a reporter for the ''[[Fort Worth Star-Telegram]]''. He put himself through law school at [[Baylor University]] by working as a janitor and dishwasher and by working at the ''Waco News Tribune''.<ref name="Election of Speaker"/> He received his degree from Baylor in 1932. After graduation he established his own practice in [[Liberty County, Texas|Liberty County]] and often accepted livestock and acreage for his fees.<ref name="Justices">{{cite web|title=Marion Price Daniel Sr.|url=http://tarlton.law.utexas.edu/justices/profile/view/23|work=Justices of Texas 1836–1988|access-date=12 January 2013}}</ref>

==Texas House of Representatives==
In 1938, he was elected to the [[Texas House of Representatives]]. He was subsequently re-elected twice, serving in the 46th, 47th, and 48th legislature from January 10, 1939, until January 9, 1945.<ref>{{cite web|title=Price Daniel Sr.|url=http://www.lrl.state.tx.us/legeLeaders/members/memberDisplay.cfm?memberID=1601|publisher=Legislative Reference Library of Texas|access-date=12 January 2013}}</ref> Daniel opposed Texas adopting a [[sales tax]].

He served on these committees during the 46th legislature (January 10 – June 21, 1939):<ref name="Sessions">{{cite web|title=Texas legislative sessions and years|url=http://www.lrl.state.tx.us/sessions/sessionYears.cfm|publisher=Legislative Reference Library of Texas|access-date=12 January 2013}}</ref> judiciary; oil, gas, and mining; privileges, suffrage, and elections (vice chair); and public lands and buildings.

He served on these committees during the 47th legislature (January 14 – July 3, 1941, and September 9–19, 1941):<ref name="Sessions"/> judiciary; privileges, suffrage, and elections; public lands and buildings (vice chair); and revenue and taxation.

He was elected as [[speaker (politics)|Speaker of the House]] for the 48th legislature (January 12 – May 11, 1943).<ref name="Election of Speaker">{{cite journal|title=Election of Speaker|journal=Texas House Journal|date=12 January 1943|url=http://www.lrl.state.tx.us/scanned/members/speeches/speakers/48_0_Daniel.pdf}}</ref><ref name="Sessions"/>

==World War II military service==

When the legislature adjourned in May 1943, Daniel waived his draft exemption<ref name="Price Daniel Dissertation-August 1999"/> and enlisted in the [[United States Army]], serving in the Security Intelligence Corps. In this capacity, he saw service in [[Amarillo, Texas]], [[Pine Bluff, Arkansas]], and [[Baton Rouge, Louisiana]]. He received his [[Second Lieutenant]] commission in 1944 after training at the [[Judge Advocate General's Corps, United States Army|Judge Advocate General Officers School]] in [[Ann Arbor, Michigan]], afterwards becoming an instructor at the Army School for Personnel Services in [[Lexington, Virginia]]. 

The Army shared Daniel with the [[United States Marine Corps]] in 1945, the latter sending him to [[Sasebo, Nagasaki]], [[Japan]] to set up a Marine Personnel School. He received "outstanding authority" citations from both branches of service, and was discharged in May 1946.

==Texas Attorney General==

Price returned to Texas after his military service and won the seat of [[Texas Attorney General]].<ref name="Price Daniel Opinions 1952-1952">{{cite web|title=Price Daniel Opinions 1952-1952|url=http://www.oag.state.tx.us/opin/opinions/op40daniel/indexpdf.shtml|publisher=Attorney General of Texas|access-date=2 June 2010|archive-date=25 July 2010|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100725213808/http://www.oag.state.tx.us/opin/opinions/op40daniel/indexpdf.shtml|url-status=dead}}</ref>

As Texas State Attorney General, he argued the 1946 submerged lands ownership lawsuit ''United States v. California, 332 U.S. 19''<ref name="United States v. California, 332 U.S. 19 (1947)"/> before the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] in 1947, on behalf of the coastal states. The Supreme Court decided against California on June 23, 1947.

Daniel defended the [[University of Texas at Austin|University of Texas]] law school in the 1950 ''[[Sweatt v. Painter]]''<ref name="Sweatt v Painter 1950">{{cite web|title=Sweatt v Painter 1950|url=http://caselaw.lp.findlaw.com/scripts/getcase.pl?court=us&vol=339&invol=629|publisher=Fine Law|access-date=1 June 2010}}</ref> [[Desegregation in the United States|desegregation]] case. Herman Marion Sweatt, a black student, was denied admission to the University of Texas Law School in February 1946. Sweatt had met all the requirements, except that Texas schools were segregated by law. The [[Supreme Court of the United States]] ruled in June, 1950, Sweatt must be allowed admission.

==United States Senate==

In 1952, Daniel was elected to the [[United States Senate]]. He was immediately taken under the wing of Senate Minority Leader Lyndon B. Johnson,<ref name="Price Daniel Dissertation-August 1999"/> with the senior senator helping to alleviate office space shortage by allowing Daniel's staff to work out of LBJ's office.

Daniel held positions on committees<ref name="Price Daniel Dissertation-August 1999"/> of the Interior; Interstate and Foreign Commerce; Post Office and Civil Service; and Judiciary, as well as Judiciary subcommittees on Internal Security and Juvenile Delinquency.

The new senator worked on a [[narcotics]] probe and reforming the [[United States electoral college|electoral college]].

Opposed to [[Desegregation in the United States|desegregation]] efforts, Senator Price Daniel joined 19 other senators and 77 members of the [[United States House of Representatives]] in signing the 1956 [[Southern Manifesto]],<ref name="The Southern Manifesto">{{cite web|title=The Southern Manifesto|url=https://www.pbs.org/wnet/supremecourt/rights/sources_document2.html|publisher=Congressional Record, 84th Congress Second Session|access-date=2 June 2010}}</ref> which condemned the 1954 United States Supreme Court decision in ''[[Brown v.

===Tidelands and 1952 elections===

The most long-lasting accomplishment<ref name="Price Daniel Protects the Tidelands from Federal Control">{{cite news|last=Decker|first=James|title=Price Daniel Protects the Tidelands from Federal Control|url=http://www.texasrepublicnews.com/0/2151675/0/35992D35999/|newspaper=Republic of Texas News|date=26 August 2009}}{{dead link|date=March 2018 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}</ref> of Price Daniel was in helping to retain Texas title to the submerged lands, and mineral rights therein, off the coast. The victory has netted billions of dollars for Texas schools. Texas viewed this issue as of primary importance during the 1952 campaign. Eisenhower supported state ownership, while Adlai Stevenson stood in opposition. The state of Texas, including many prominent state Democratic party leaders, went with Eisenhower who won the state of Texas<ref name="1952 Presidential General Election Data">{{cite web|last=Leip|first=David|title=1952 Presidential General Election Data |url=http://uselectionatlas.org/RESULTS/ | publisher=David Leip|access-date=31 May 2010}}</ref> in the election.

The [[Tidelands]]<ref name="Tidelands Controversy"/> controversy was over who owned the rights to {{convert|2440650|acre|km2}} of submerged land in the [[Gulf of Mexico]] between low tide and the state's Gulfward boundary three leagues (10.35 miles) from shore. Texas acquired the rights as a republic, and later reserved the rights when it entered the Union in 1845. The Texas legislature authorized the School Land Board to execute the mineral leases on behalf of the Permanent School Fund.

Among coastal states, the Federal government claimed ownership when oil was discovered on the lands.<ref name="Tidelands Controversy">{{Handbook of Texas |author=Daniel, Price | name=Tidelands Controversy| id=mgt02|  retrieved=31 May 2010}} Texas State Historical Association</ref> The first lawsuit, ''United States v.

The attorneys general of all other states filed an [[amicus curiae]] brief in opposition. Price Daniel Sr., as Texas State Attorney General, argued the case before the [[Supreme Court of the United States]] on March 13–14, 1947, on behalf of all the other states. In 1947, the Supreme Court decided against California on June 23, 1947.

Congress presented a 1952 bill confirming states' ownership, which was vetoed by [[Harry Truman|President Harry Truman]].<ref name="The Public Lands and the Conservation Movement">{{cite book|last=Wyant|first=William K|title=Westward in Eden: The Public Lands and the Conservation Movement |year=1987|publisher=University of California Press|isbn=978-0-520-06183-5|pages=218–234}}</ref> In that same year, Presidential candidate [[Dwight D. Eisenhower|General Dwight D. Eisenhower]] stated his belief that the Annexation Agreement of Texas gave the rights to Texas. Candidate [[Adlai Stevenson II|Adlai Stevenson]] announced he would veto any bill out of Congress guaranteeing the rights to Texas. The Texas state Democratic convention passed a resolution urging all its members to vote for Eisenhower.

In 1953, then Senator Price Daniel

Taft]] worked tirelessly to overcome the 27-day filibuster of the bill, with it passing the Senate 56-35 votes, and approved by the House of Representatives on May 13. President Eisenhower signed the bill into law on May 22, 1953.

==Governor==
[[File:Price Daniel (TX).png|140px|thumb|left|Daniel as governor.]]
Senator Daniel was elected governor in 1956. Thereafter, Daniel's chief Democratic rival [[Ralph Yarborough]] went on to succeed Daniel after a temporary appointee, [[William A. Blakley]] of [[Dallas, Texas|Dallas]], in the Senate in a special election held in 1957.

As governor, Daniel saw legislative fruition of his proposals to reorganize of the State Board of Insurance,<ref name="Price Daniel Dissertation-August 1999"/> passage of an ethics code for lawmakers and other state employees, regulation of lobbyists, an improved structure for state archives, and a long-range water conservation plan.
[[File:Texas Governor Price Daniel (seated) signing bill making Arlington State College a four-year college (10010616).jpg|left|thumb|Price Daniel signing the bill making [[Arlington State College]] a four-year college in 1959]]
Daniel was re-elected governor in [[Texas gubernatorial election, 1958|1958]] by a 7–1 margin over the Republican Edwin S. Mayer (1896-1963), a [[San Angelo, Texas|San Angelo]] [[sheep]] and [[goat]]s owner who was twice a delegate for [[Dwight D. Eisenhower]] at the [[1952 Republican National Convention|1952]] and [[1956 Republican National Convention|1956]] [[Republican National Convention]]s. In [[1960 Republican National Convention|1960]], Mayer was the only delegate at the national convention who abstained on the nomination of former U.S. Senator [[Henry Cabot Lodge Jr.]], of [[Massachusetts]] as [[Richard Nixon]]'s running mate.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://tshaonline.org/handbook/online/articles/fmaay|title=Mayer, Edwin S.|first=Robin|last=Dutton|publisher=Texas State Historical Association on-line|access-date=May 7, 2017}}</ref>

In [[1960 Texas gubernatorial election|1960]], Daniel won renomination over [[Jack Cox (Texas politician)|Jack Cox]], an oil equipment executive from [[Houston, Texas|Houston]]. Daniel received 1,637,755 votes (72.8 percent) to Republican [[William Steger|William M. Steger]] of [[Tyler, Texas|Tyler]], who obtained 612,963 ballots (27.2 percent).

In 1961, the legislature passed a 2-cent sales tax,<ref name="Texas State Sales Tax">{{Handbook of Texas |author=Calvert, Robert S. | name=Texas State Sales Tax| id=mpszr |  retrieved=2 June 2010}} Texas State Historical Association</ref> which Daniel allowed to become law without his signature<ref name="Legislature OKs Texas Sales Tax">{{cite news|title=Legislature OKs Texas Sales Tax|url=https://news.google.com/newspapers?id=RGAaAAAAIBAJ&pg=7364,3520493&dq=1961+texas+sales+tax&hl=en|newspaper=The Milwaukee Journal|date=9 August 1961}}</ref> so the state would remain solvent. After the passage of the sales tax, Daniel's popularity waned, and he failed at his attempt to be elected to a fourth term in 1962. He lost the Democratic nomination to former [[Navy Secretary]] [[John B. Connally Jr.]]

==Public service in later years==

President Johnson later appointed Daniel to head the Office of Emergency Preparedness. In 1971, Governor [[Preston Smith (governor)|Preston Smith]] named Daniel to the 9-member [[Texas Supreme Court]], filling a vacancy left by the retirement of Clyde E. Smith. He was re-elected twice in 1972 and 1978, and retired at the end of his second term.<ref name="Justices"/>

After retiring from the Texas Supreme Court, he served as pro-bono legal council for the [[Alabama (people)|Alabama-Coushatta Indians]]. As their counsel, he was instrumental in the 1965 creation of the Texas Commission for Indian Affairs (TCIA), 59th Legislature, House Bill 1096.<ref>{{cite web|title=Texas Indian Commission: An Inventory of Records at the Texas State Archives, 1957–1989|url=http://www.lib.utexas.edu/taro/tslac/20050/tsl-20050.html|publisher=Texas State Library and Archives Commission|access-date=14 January 2013}}</ref> On April 5, 1967, the Texas Legislature passed House Concurrent Resolution No. 83 recognizing Daniel for his contributions to the tribe and to the creation of the TCIA.<ref>{{cite web|title=House Concurrent Resolution No. 83|url=http://www.lrl.state.tx.us/LASDOCS/60R/HCR83/HCR83_60R.pdf|publisher=Texas State Legislature|access-date=14 January 2013|date=April 5, 1967}}</ref>

==Personal life==
Marion Price Daniel Sr. is also known as Marion Price Daniel Jr. and as Marion Price Daniel II, because his father, Marion Price Daniel Sr. (1882–1937) was the first generation with the name. Daniel II married the former Jean Houston Baldwin on June 28, 1940. Their son publicly known as [[Price Daniel Jr.]] is properly Marion Price Daniel III. The couple also had three other children: Jean Houston Murph, Houston Lee, and John Baldwin.

Governor Daniel died of a stroke on August 25, 1988, and is interred at the family ranch in Liberty County.<ref>{{cite news|last=Navarez|first=Alfonso A|title=Ex-Senator Price Daniel, 77, Dies; Was Texas Governor for 3 Terms|url=https://www.nytimes.com/1988/08/26/obituaries/ex-senator-price-daniel-77-dies-was-texas-governor-for-3-terms.html|work=New York Times|access-date=12 January 2013|date=August 26, 1988}}</ref> His wife died December 14, 2002, and is buried with him.<ref>{{cite web|title=Jean Daniel|url=http://boards.ancestry.myfamily.com/surnames.houston/1026/mb.ashx|publisher=Ancestry|access-date=12 January 2013}}</ref>
