Texas Democrats in Chicago face open convention push
At the 1968 Democratic National Convention in Chicago, Texas Democrats led by Gov. Connally push for proportional representation and abolition of the unit rule. TDOC seeks 50 seats and argues current delegation underrepresents Negro and Mexican American communities. Republican talk centers on Nixon and Agnew amid Texas politics and national issues.
