The 1968 Democratic National Convention accelerates a reform drive led by the McGovern and O Hara commissions. They seek to overhaul delegate selection and party structure, promote full participation, end unit rules, and curb discriminatory or burdensome practices.
The speaker outlines a national reform agenda with the O'Hara commission, Minnesota's constitutional changes, and six policy committees. Proposals include accessible rules, elimination of proxy voting, equal voting, and a shift to electronic delegate ballots to broaden democracy in conventions and future party operations.
The article details young activists led by Sam Brown and David Hawk promoting a Vietnam Moratorium to influence policy. It cites financier James Grossman and a Washington office, with paid staff, speaker rosters, and broad support from figures like Dean Rusk and Hubert Humphrey, while noting mixed public opinion and upcoming Nixon addresses.
The piece argues salvation rests on God’s unchanging Word not emotions. It cites tests such as loving fellow believers and living by Scripture. A conscience stirred by Christ’s cleansing blood signals conversion, and doubts fade by exposing truth in the Bible and relying on Scripture over logic.
