In Fort Worth on July 17, Texas Young Democrats acted to block a bid to oust Elliott Roosevelt from the first vice presidency.

Disputes were led by Phil Overton and Joe Bailey Humphreys, but the ouster effort failed 14 to 1 as Roosevelts supporters gained momentum. A committee was named to pursue bringing the 1936 national convention to Texas.
