Sixty Third District Convention ends bitter electoral battle
A long Democratic convention in the Sixty third Judicial District ended with a heated struggle over representation bases. Key figures like J A Gillett and Geo M Thurmond argued over territory boundaries and county lines affecting Presidio Jeff Davis Kinney Pecos and Jeff Davis delegates. The district committee fixed a temporary rule with a 1 to 300 ratio as convenient rather than law, and the debate highlighted the majority's will in party proceedings.
