Texas delegates loom large in Lyndon Johnson camp
In Austin the Texas delegation to the national convention casts half its 56 nominating votes for Lyndon Johnson until he releases them. The 112 members and 70 alternates were selected with his approval. The Texas scene features Sam Rayburn presiding over the May convention and a heated debate over the September state Democratic convention and control of 1900 convention votes. Contested delegations, possible shifts under Johnson's influence, and efforts to analyze voting irregularities in Webb County dominate political coverage.
