The State Convention convenes in Columbia, with calls to adopt an aggressive Democratic strategy. Leaders warn delaying to await Republicans risks a bad coalition and harm to the party, urging immediate nomination and a clear platform to blunt Republican advances and preserve Dem gains.
Action, pacification and nomination in Democratic ranks
