Dual Win Claimed By Demos In Iowa Delegation Fight
Town Democrats focus on the state presidential convention in Des Moines on May 20 to fill 12 of the 46 delegation spots to the national convention in Miami Beach. Muskie and McGovern touted gains from six district conventions, Muskie leading with 14 delegates to McGovern's 12 and 8 uncommitted. Projections suggest a split of 18 for Muskie and 18 for McGovern, with 10 uncommitted, possibly aiding Humphrey Lindsay or Chisholm. The Fourth District vote extended into early Sunday, as district rules delayed proceedings.
