Democrats Look To Own Convention
Washington June BBP reports Democrats name their final convention delegates next week as opposition to Truman grows. DC will send six delegates to the primary while Virginia weighs a 26 member wave group for the state convention. Truman leads with 670 pledged delegates, though Southern states dispute some support. The Democratic National Committee meets in Philadelphia July 12 with Truman the presumed nominee. The anti Truman bloc favors Dewey, Warren, or Douglas, and several Southern states move toward uninstructed delegations. Strong signs of splits persist among Democrats.
