Smith Delegation to be Second Choice at Texas Convention
In Austin on May 19 the wets claim Texas will send a unit 46 vote delegation to the Democratic national convention with Smith as likely second choice to Roosevelt. The party unity pledge and the push for repeal of prohibition shape the Houston meeting as pro wet, with A. J. Wirtz named national committeeman and Dan Moody set to lead the dry fight. Moody’s side disputes the wet plan, while the court case in Pampa dominates unrelated testimony in the liquor conspiracy trial.
