American Party backs closed shop plan at Fort Worth convention
The American Party held a Fort Worth convention on August 10 endorsing a closed shop plank and extending its principle to farming. Former Governor James E. Ferguson praised the policy. McGregor was nominated for governor and also supported the closed shop. Ferguson predicted 175000 votes in November, while critics viewed their aim as defeating Joe Bailey by suppressing turnout in the primary.
