Nomination Deadlock in Fourth District Grows
Delegates in Columbus seek a successor to Judge W. C. Adamson as 4th district congressman with a long deadlock dominated by Muscogee and Carroll counties. Ballots 256 and rising fail to produce a consensus as Chappell and Holderness emerge as favored names. Congressman Adamson says his seat will be vacated by December 15, with Willis J. Davis in Washington ready to assist district needs.
