Texas Delegation Chooses Humphrey Backed Slate
Texas delegates at the Democratic national convention remained uneasy over campaign tactics but planned to cast about 106 of 104 votes for Vice President Hubert H. Humphrey. Sen. Eugene J. McCarthy was expected to win at least three or four votes. Gov. John Connally shifted from a pledged favorite son stance after two days of talks, countering Sen. Edward Kennedy’s push for the nomination. A rebel challenge by Ralph Yarborough was defeated on a test ballot, signaling McCarthy’s growing strength in the state.
